After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1199: 1198: Xia Chuyi Feeling Unwell?
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
Observing Xia Chuyi’s response, Conductor Kang quickly added, “Sister-in-law, don’t overthink it, it’s only my speculation, perhaps it’s nothing like that!”
“Still, once you reach Capital City, make sure to visit the hospital for an examination!” Conductor Kang advised.
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi pondered: Right, it could simply be a stomach upset?
Why was she panicking so much all of a sudden!
With that in mind, Xia Chuyi’s anxiety eased somewhat.
Nevertheless, she took Conductor Kang’s advice to heart.
On the trip back to Beijing, Xia Chuyi avoided consuming any random medicinal foods or drinks.
Yet, when they finally arrived in Capital City, her dry heaving persisted without relief, and her weakness intensified.
Thus, Xia Chuyi remained unsure if it was illness or pregnancy.
The day they landed in Capital City, having skipped food on the plane, Xia Chuyi felt dizzy right after disembarking.
Exiting the station, she shook her head to dispel the dizziness.
But the moment she stepped forward, faintness overwhelmed her, making her sway, nearly toppling over.
Strong hands caught her instantly, followed by a familiar voice near her ear, “Chuyi, are you unwell?”
Even as her vision swirled with stars.
The recognizable voice and scent told Xia Chuyi it was her husband holding her.
“I’m okay.” Xia Chuyi gave a faint smile and murmured softly.
With Huo Shiqian there, she fully leaned into him, whispering, “Just hungry…”
Without realizing, her tone turned coquettish.
Huo Shiqian let out a soft sigh at her words, wrapped his arm around her, drawing her close, and said, “Come on, I’ll get you some food.”
With that, he led Xia Chuyi to an airport restaurant.
Inside, Huo Shiqian ordered plenty of her favorite dishes.
Watching him, Xia Chuyi felt warmth in her heart and remarked, “So much food— what if I can’t eat it all?”
“Don’t worry,” Huo Shiqian replied, “I’ll finish whatever’s left.”
Xia Chuyi’s eyes sparkled with joy, “Alright, thanks, Uncle Liberation Army!”
At the nostalgic nickname, Huo Shiqian shot her a look, shook his head silently.
This girl always teases with that when she’s playful.
Back then, before marriage, Huo Shiqian disliked it.
It highlighted their age difference, creating a sense of distance.
Now, though, it had become their sweet, intimate banter.
“Food’s arriving.” Dishes soon filled the table.
Xia Chuyi rubbed her belly, truly hungry, grabbed her chopsticks, and took a bite of greens.
But chewing brought nausea surging, triggering dry retches.
“Chuyi?” Huo Shiqian rushed to rub her back, asking, “Doesn’t suit your taste?”
“I…” The retching left Xia Chuyi too queasy to speak.
One second she craved the vibrant veggies, the next they turned bitterly unpalatable in her mouth.
“To the hospital we go.” Noting her paling face from heaving, Huo Shiqian declared.
“No, really, no need…” Xia Chuyi began protesting, only to be swept up entirely in Huo Shiqian’s arms.
