After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1213 - 1212: Xia Chuyi’s National Treasure Life

Xia Chuyi felt utterly speechless.

She had originally hoped Uncle Liberation Army would come save her.

Little did she expect him to join the "Eat More" drive now.

"Yes, Shiqian is right—drink the medicinal food first!" Ou ZhenTing declared. "Have more medicinal food, then dig into the meal afterward!"

Xia Chuyi: ...

Medicinal food counts as food anyway!

It fills her right up!

"Chuyi, heed your dad and the rest," Mrs. Ou chimed in at that moment. "Carrying twins now, you absolutely can't let yourself go hungry."

Go hungry?

Xia Chuyi feared she'd gorge herself to death!

Yet with all those caring gazes fixed on her, Xia Chuyi couldn't summon any refusal.

How could she turn it down?

After all, she was pregnant now, and a "poisoned" patient besides!

Thankfully, pregnancy had boosted her appetite considerably.

So the heap of dishes everyone piled for her, Xia Chuyi barely forced down.

In this way, Xia Chuyi started chowing down, launching into a pampered national treasure existence.

Two days on, fresh reports arrived from Ling County.

The post office traced the anonymous letter's details, revealing it came from the north.

North? The region north of Province H stretches endlessly.

Capital City, Eastern Province, Beicheng—all lie north of Province H!

The trail had effectively gone cold.

Huo Shiqian's brows furrowed deeply the instant he heard this.

Who could be behind it?

Some ancient foe of the Ou or Huo Family?

Or remnants of Mr. Liu's old crew?

Back then, Mr. Liu hadn't been entirely brought down.

These remained mere conjectures from Huo Shiqian.

The actual facts stayed hidden for now.

No matter what, with matters at this juncture—like hunting a needle in a haystack, even if the letter meant no harm—Huo Shiqian had to dig out the truth.

He couldn't take a single chance right now.

But none of this reached the ears of the "sweet" yet woebegone national treasure Xia Chuyi.

A few days later, upon hearing of Xia Chuyi's pregnancy, Ou Cong raced back from Province G.

"Chuyi, Chuyi!" Second Young Master Ou yelled with glee the moment he returned. "Chuyi, where's my niece? Uncle's here—the uncle who dotes on her most!"

"What rubbish is that?" Mrs. Ou scolded right after Ou Cong's outburst. "The baby isn't born—how do you know it's a girl?"

Hearing her, Ou Cong grinned and replied, "It's obviously a girl, a darling just like Chuyi!"

"A girl would be wonderful!" Ou Cong beamed full of anticipation. "If a girl, she'd mend the regrets from Chuyi's early days!"

"I'll for sure spoil my lovely niece utterly, turning her into the world's cheeriest little princess!"

"And if it's a boy?" A voice from behind Ou Cong quipped mockingly. "So no spoiling if it's a boy?"

Jiang Shuqin was the one speaking.

"Shuqin?" Xia Chuyi blinked in surprise, glancing at her then Ou Cong. "How did you two arrive together..."

"Who's together with him?" Jiang Shuqin burst out before Xia Chuyi finished. "Chuyi, don't spout nonsense!"

Xia Chuyi: ...

What had she said?

She merely wondered why they showed up jointly.

Xia Chuyi eyed Jiang Shuqin, then Ou Cong, musing: Is Jiang Shuqin catching feelings now?
