After Marrying the Officer Chapter 877: His Indulgent Affection

"It’s all in the past." Huo Shiqian suddenly spoke, his voice extrely calm and composed, "She doesn’t deserve to be a mother, and fortunately, she’s not one. Chuyi, this is a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi thought to herself: Indeed, isn’t it a good thing?

Sothing that had weighed heavily on her heart for two lifetis could finally, truly, dissipate like smoke and clouds!

After a mont, she finally raised her head, with a hint of lancholy, a hint of relief, and a hint of calmness, finally stabilizing her emotions, then slowly said, "Brother Shiqian, I want to return to Ling County once."

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian held her face, looking at her intently and affectionately, wiping away the remaining tears on her face, he said, "Okay, I’ll go with you."

Whatever she wanted to do, he would agree.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi was slightly stunned, her heart warming but also sowhat hesitant.

"Brother Shiqian..." She didn’t want to hold Huo Shiqian back, as he had just been transferred back to Beijing.

But, she also couldn’t bear to go back to Ling County alone.

Seeing her hesitation, Huo Shiqian seed to see through her thoughts and said, "You don’t need to overthink, I returned to Beijing this ti ahead of schedule."

The reason for returning early was all about Chuyi’s background.

As a soldier, he may not always be by the girl’s side, but he hopes to be there for her as much as possible during her critical monts.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi was overjoyed, almost bursting into laughter, "Thank you, Brother Shiqian!"

She gazed at his face, her myriad of feelings could only be sumd up in the words "Thank you."

"Thank you, Brother Shiqian!" she said emotionally.

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss, saying, "Silly girl."

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but smile, shaking her head slightly.

Was she silly?

Then the Uncle Liberation Army who protected and accompanied her like this, wasn’t he sillier?

Yes, to like soone as stubborn as her, wasn’t he even sillier?

"Brother Shiqian..." Once again, Xia Chuyi buried herself into Huo Shiqian’s embrace.

Huo Shiqian didn’t speak further, just calmly used his large hand to gently stroke her back.

After a while, once Xia Chuyi had completely sorted out her emotions, she raised her head and said to him, "Brother Shiqian, I think, I’ll first return to Ling County to handle things there, then co back to Beijing to et with Ou..."

When she got to this point, Xia Chuyi got stuck.

What should she call Ou Zhenting now?

Dad?

She really... couldn’t say it.

Uncle? But it just didn’t feel right.

Twenty years of absence is not sothing that can be made up overnight.

Instead, Ou Jun... she finally understood why Ou Jun had always insisted on her calling him brother before.

But this matter was too sudden for her, too sudden.

She was a person who had long decided to give up on parental ties.

Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but sigh slightly and said, "I... might need so ti to accept them."

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian didn’t try to persuade her at all, simply saying, "I understand."

Then, he once again gently held her face, saying, "As long as you have truly thought through this, do what you wish, without seeking anyone’s opinion."

Xia Chuyi saw his eyes, full of determination, full of deep affection.

"Thank..." Xia Chuyi tried speaking again, but was suddenly silenced by Huo Shiqian as he bent down and sealed her lips.

After a mont, he said, "Chuyi, wait here, I’ll go and talk to your uncle and them about this matter."
