After Marrying the Officer Chapter 789 -s 789: Return to Huo Family

After they had finished discussing the Heavenly Book Jade, Huo Shiqian had soone pack up the Myanmar Stones and said to Xia Chuyi, "I won’t be here for the Jade Conference, you can handle these original stones yourself."

After a mont, Huo Shiqian added, "Ou Jun will be in the Capital City then, and I’ll have him accompany you."

Xia Chuyi was slightly surprised and said, "Brother Ou? There’s no need, I can manage by myself..."

"Chuyi, Ou Jun is to be trusted." Huo Shiqian suddenly beca very serious as he spoke to Xia Chuyi, "Chuyi, when I’m not in Capital City, you can trust Ou Jun."

Xia Chuyi didn’t understand why Huo Shiqian said this, but she still smiled and said, "Alright, I know."

She had also felt that Ou Jun was quite a decent person.

After settling the matter with the Myanmar Stones, Huo Shiqian escorted Xia Chuyi back to "Youwei".

After delivering her to Youwei, Huo Shiqian ordered Taozi, "Return to the Huo Family estate."

"Yes," Taozi replied.

Upon arriving at the Huo Family estate, the guards were quite surprised by his sudden return since Huo Shiqian hadn’t given any prior notice.

"Huo Shizhang is back!" the guard shouted towards the house.

"Shiqian is back?" The first to co out to greet them was Su Susu.

As soon as she saw Huo Shiqian, she was particularly excited and said, "Shiqian, you’ve returned?"

"I heard from your n that you’ve been promoted in the military and might soon be assigned back to Capital City... That truly is good news. Our family is about to be reunited!"

Su Susu spoke very happily to herself, while Huo Shiqian simply responded indifferently and asked her, "Where is my father?"

Seemingly not detecting Huo Shiqian’s aloofness, Su Susu said enthusiastically, "He’s in the study, in the study!"

"If he knows you’re back, he’ll surely be happier than I am!"

"I’ll go to the study to find Father," Huo Shiqian said without engaging in more conversation with Su Susu.

The door to the study was open, and Huo Shiqian walked straight in.

"You’ve returned?" Huo Zhongcheng saw his son and was quite calm.

"Yes, I’ve returned," Huo Shiqian reached the room and casually shut the door, separating the noises of the study from the outside world.

"Your visit is quite short this ti, and I thought maybe you wouldn’t co to the house," Huo Zhongcheng said, sowhat sentintally.

Huo Zhongcheng knew that, outside of official business, Bao Jiaye and Xia Chuyi would certainly be prioritized over himself.

So if the visit was short, he assud his son would have gone there and wouldn’t have co over.

Huo Shiqian calmly said, "For Chuyi’s matter, I must thank Father."

The implication was clear that he would certainly return for that reason.

When Huo Shiqian brought up the matter related to Xia Chuyi, Huo Zhongcheng actually smiled for a mont and said, "That matter was but a trifling effort."

"Even just based on Old Ou’s face alone, it could have been accomplished. My involvent in speaking a few words was just to make people take it more seriously."

However, Huo Shiqian said, "Still, I must thank Father."

At that, Huo Zhongcheng sighed.

This exchange of thanks indirectly indicated that there was still a distance between him and his son.

"By the way, could that child really be from the Old Ou Family?" Huo Zhongcheng suddenly asked his son.

It was a way to avoid the just-discussed topic of "exchanging thanks."

Upon hearing his father’s question, Huo Shiqian said, "Unless sothing unexpected happens, she is."

While Huo Shiqian’s response left a little room for ambiguity, his tone was exceedingly sure.

Huo Zhongcheng’s eyes flickered as he asked, "What do you an? Didn’t the Old Ou Family make a mistake one ti before?"
