"Commander, if there’s anything, we can solve it together!" Xiao Wang saluted Huo Shiqian before earnestly speaking again.
Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian, unaware his subordinate had already imagined a complicated scenario, rely nodded slightly and said, "In that case, gather my married officers; I have sothing to discuss."
"Huh?" Gather married officers? Why did Xiao Wang find this operation sowhat familiar?
Just then, he heard Huo Shiqian say, "Gather them for a eting to discuss strategies to win over my father-in-law."
Xiao Wang: ...
It was his mistake to assu that his strategic commander would be troubled by official duties?
No, in this world, the only thing that could truly trouble his superior was indeed just one matter—getting married!
The next day, amidst a "busy" schedule, Huo Shiqian did indeed take so ti off, setting aside his current tasks, to visit the school while Xia Chuyi was still in class.
Xia Chuyi was their academic ntor, called out of the classroom on the pretext of sothing in the office.
When she arrived in the office, it was Huo Shiqian, whom she hadn’t seen in a few days, that she saw.
"Brother Shiqian, why are you here?" Xia Chuyi was sowhat pleasantly surprised to see Huo Shiqian.
Although, strictly speaking, they hadn’t seen each other for only four days, they had plans that kept getting delayed due to "unexpected events."
So, Xia Chuyi initially thought it would be a long ti before they could et again.
Who knew that today, Huo Shiqian would suddenly co to see her.
How could this not delight her?
Seeing Xia Chuyi’s joyful expression, the resentnt Huo Shiqian felt from being disrupted dissipated imdiately.
When Xia Chuyi got closer, Huo Shiqian enveloped her in his arms and said, "Chuyi, I missed you."
"Huh?" Hearing Huo Shiqian say this, Xia Chuyi was both happy and a bit bashfully said, "Brother Shiqian, you..."
However, barely bashful for two seconds, Xia Chuyi suddenly said, "Uncle Liberation Army, don’t tell you’re sick?"
Huo Shiqian: ...
Xia Chuyi smiled with her eyes curved, saying, "You almost don’t sound like yourself talking like this."
"But, I like it very much!" Xia Chuyi said, tiptoeing to give Huo Shiqian a gentle peck.
Since the little girl initiated it, Huo Shiqian’s throat moved, and he lowered his head to kiss Xia Chuyi.
However, because they were currently in a school office, he stopped himself quickly, ending the kiss and said, "Chuyi, I have skipped work today just to see you."
"What?" Hearing Huo Shiqian say this, Xia Chuyi was shocked, quickly saying, "You didn’t need to delay important matters for ..."
Huo Shiqian gently covered her mouth, saying, "Don’t overthink it, there’s nothing urgent on my end."
"Huh?" Xia Chuyi was a bit confused, saying, "Then why have you been so busy these past two days?"
Hearing this, Huo Shiqian looked at her tenderly, brushed aside a stray lock of hair from her forehead, and calmly said, "It’s the Lord Father-in-law."
"What Lord Father-in..." Xia Chuyi didn’t finish speaking before she realized what Huo Shiqian ant, suddenly widening her eyes and said, "You an my dad?"
With Xia Chuyi so easily acknowledging "father-in-law = her dad," the corners of Huo Shiqian’s mouth raised slightly.
However, it wasn’t long before Huo Shiqian couldn’t help but sigh and said, "My marshals told that father-in-laws always seem displeased with their sons-in-law."
"I guess your dad has caught this common ailnt too."
