After Marrying the Officer Chapter 776: As You Wish

"Thank you so much," Xia Chuyi said with sincere gratitude.

Professor Bao, seeing her this polite, said, "No need to thank . You are Xiu Zhi’s half-disciple, nominally my assistant, and also Shiqian’s lover. It’s only right for to help you."

Hearing Professor Bao say this, Xia Chuyi felt even more embarrassed.

Because in those accusatory letters, although it wasn’t stated explicitly, the insinuation was clear: "Xia Chuyi obtained the test questions through certain channels."

This "certain channel," obviously, referred to Professor Bao.

Otherwise, the school wouldn’t have co to Professor Bao about this matter.

Of course, given Professor Bao’s status and position, the school wouldn’t easily suspect him.

So, in a sense, it was she who had implicated Professor Bao.

Thinking of this, Xia Chu’s heart thought: She must take this matter seriously, as the professor said.

Indeed, a person with integrity isn’t afraid of a crooked shadow, but if the "accuser" sees her unpunished, might they not have other tricks up their sleeve?

So people flippantly slander others for cheating, their baseless accusations smooth and easy, spewing out as readily as their breath.

Starting rumors is easy, but how about dispelling them?

Many things, after being slandered, easily beco major stains—ones that aren’t easy to wash away.

Because people tend to more readily believe the "bad things" that are "alarming" rather than the possibility that you’re truly "wronged."

Seeing her suddenly wear a serious expression, Professor Bao said, "However, Chuyi, don’t take this too heavily on your mind. If this person really does pop up again, your teacher and I will speak up for you."

Professor Bao continued, "Your teachers all say that your talent for language is rare and high, and you are willing to work hard."

"So test questions can’t even be solved correctly with cheating."

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Thank my teachers for ."

Honestly, apart from gratitude, she didn’t know what else to say.

When she left the study, Xia Chuyi still wore a fairly relaxed expression.

In the living room, Huo Shiqian saw her first thing, his eyes full of concern.

Xia Chuyi smiled at him and said softly, "I’m fine."

Seeing this, Huo Shiqian said nothing but slightly furrowed his brow.

At dinner, no one brought up the matter.

After the al, Xia Chuyi bade farewell and left with Huo Shiqian and the others.

On the road, Xia Chuyi walked ahead, holding hands with Huo Shiqian, while Taozi followed at a distance, keeping watch.

It was then that Xia Chuyi slowly told Huo Shiqian everything.

"Accusing you of cheating?" Huo Shiqian’s deanor turned frosty as soon as he heard Xia Chuyi’s words, and said, "Who is this person? I’ll help you investigate."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi imdiately said, "Don’t, don’t bother with this!"

Because she refused too adamantly, the aura about Huo Shiqian grew even colder.

"Don’t bother?" Huo Shiqian asked her in a light tone.

"That’s not what I ant!" Xia Chuyi quickly smiled and soothed him, saying, "I know you are worried about and want to help ... I know all that."

"But, Huo Shiqian, have you forgotten? I’ve said before that I don’t want to be a vine clinging to soone for support," Xia Chuyi said earnestly as she faced him, "I want to be the cotton by your side, standing with you, shoulder to shoulder."

"So, let handle so things on my own first."

"If I can’t handle it, then you can step in, okay?" Xia Chuyi’s voice was exceptionally gentle, with a slight coquettish edge.

Huo Shiqian looked at her for a long while before he sighed, then leaned down and kissed her lips gently.

After an intimate mont, Huo Shiqian released her and said, "As you wish."
