After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1218 - 1217: Xia Chuyi’s Resistance
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
"Fine, I’ll let Li Kexin know," Ou Jun agreed with a nod.
"Great, thanks a lot, big brother," Xia Chuyi replied, nodding in return.
Thus, the issue was resolved just like that.
Later on, Xia Chuyi kept waiting for updates on the film while going about her daily routine of getting ready for the baby’s arrival,
In the midst of this, Ou Cong learned of the family’s plan to gift a "house" to the little one, leaving him utterly stunned.
After all, he saw himself as the family member who cherished Xia Chuyi the most!
"Chuyi, delivery is still months away." Ou Cong approached Xia Chuyi with a sincere tone, "That’s why Second Brother’s heading back to G City to keep up the business and make milk money for my little niece!"
Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but feel at a loss for words upon hearing her second brother speak.
Her child already had a father, mother, grandparents on both sides—why on earth would it require an uncle to provide milk money?
"Second Brother, you..." Xia Chuyi paused briefly before adding, "Truth is, heading back to G City right now sounds like a solid plan."
"Business prospects are booming there these days; grab them, and you’ll definitely rise to success," Xia Chuyi advised with genuine intent.
She was convinced that her second brother could build a thriving path in G City if he just took hold of those chances.
Yet, Second Young Master Ou’s thinking always took its own unique path.
Ou Cong’s immediate response to Xia Chuyi’s suggestion was: "Perfect! Thanks for the faith in Second Brother!"
"Don’t worry, Second Brother vows to you—he’ll rake in heaps of cash to set up the grandest dowry for my niece!"
Xia Chuyi: ...
Right then, Xia Chuyi truly wished her second brother would pack up and rush off to G City.
If not, this sort of "prenatal education" might turn her belly’s baby into a goofball.
Oblivious to Xia Chuyi’s inner musings, Ou Cong remained clueless.
Bursting with determination, Second Young Master Ou set his sights on purchasing presents for his niece and amassing funds for her future dowry.
Not long after, Ou Cong did make his way back to G City.
At the same time, Xia Chuyi’s pregnancy smoothly cleared the risky first trimester.
"Dad, Mom, the first three months are done now—can I head to ’Youwei’?" The moment that milestone passed, Xia Chuyi started talking it over with Mr. and Mrs. Ou Zhen Ting, eager to claim some "freedom" back.
"’Youwei’? No way!" Mrs. Ou shot back right away at Xia Chuyi’s request, "Sure, three months are over, but you’re carrying a baby still."
"Things at ’Youwei’ demand so much effort—what if you wear yourself out?" Mrs. Ou fretted deeply.
To this, Xia Chuyi gave a helpless grin and explained, "Mom, I won’t be cooking myself; I just want to look in on Qianqian and Xing Mang, check the progress of their franchise launches."
At those words, Ou ZhenTing chimed in abruptly, "Chuyi, why not have them visit home for reports, same as always—wouldn’t that work?"
"Didn’t they used to drop by the house regularly to update you?" Mrs. Ou chimed in agreement.
Ultimately, both Ou ZhenTing and Mrs. Ou felt deeply worried about letting Xia Chuyi venture out.
Therefore, Xia Chuyi adopted a grave look and stated, "Dad, Mom, remember Uncle Guo saying I shouldn’t hole up indoors constantly?"
"Some proper exercise and motion help smooth out the delivery later," Xia Chuyi continued, "Plus, overseas experts I heard from back then mentioned..."
