After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1225: 1224: Unexpected News
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
Jiang Shuqin’s latest actions get described by Xia Chuyi like this: Love really does blind people, just like the old saying goes.
Jiang Shuqin and Ou Cong are both pretty much “blind despite having eyes.”
They act like a couple of carefree idiots, completely clueless about their emotions.
Even a tiny problem can ignite a fight between the two.
Yet, right after quarreling, they quickly reconcile.
With that in mind, Xia Chuyi shook her head once more.
But as a soon-to-be mom right now, she simply lacks the strength to handle their drama.
Luckily, following some light-hearted squabbling, Jiang Shuqin and Ou Cong finally quit their bickering.
“Chuyi, Second Brother has gone to place all the presents in your room!” Second Young Master Ou told Xia Chuyi with excitement, then rushed away to prepare gifts for his beloved little niece.
In the meantime, Jiang Shuqin took a seat to talk with Xia Chuyi.
Jiang Shuqin began by showing worry about Xia Chuyi’s well-being in pregnancy, before shifting to relaxed conversation.
Their discussion centered mainly on school topics, though.
During the chat, Jiang Shuqin abruptly mentioned, “Oh yeah, Chuyi, did you hear my sister and brother-in-law are heading to Europe?”
Of course, Jiang Shuqin meant Jiang Fengqi and Wang Zicheng by her sister and brother-in-law.
“Heading to Europe?” Xia Chuyi felt a bit taken aback upon hearing this and questioned Jiang Shuqin, “Is it for work?”
Once Xia Chuyi got pregnant, Jiang Fengqi visited her.
Back then, in their talk with Jiang Fengqi, Xia Chuyi discovered—just as anticipated—that Jiang Fengqi had truly entered the foreign affairs department.
Since then, Jiang Fengqi’s hectic schedule meant they seldom met.
Plus, Huo Shiqian, as Xia Chuyi’s pregnancy progressed, rarely brought up such topics with her.
He did so to avoid her worrying too much.
Thus, this piece of news from Jiang Shuqin was brand new to Xia Chuyi.
“No, not work.” Jiang Shuqin replied to Xia Chuyi’s query, “It’s a diplomatic assignment.”
Next, Jiang Shuqin added, “You’re aware of my brother-in-law’s old injury, aren’t you?”
“I know. Even though my brother-in-law found a skilled doctor and his condition got much better.”
“Still, my brother-in-law appears to suffer lingering effects, requiring a trip to Europe for recovery.”
“On top of that, my sister is highly competent and works in the foreign ministry too.”
“That’s why they easily requested positions at an embassy in a European nation with diplomatic ties.”
Xia Chuyi felt a mild shock after listening to Jiang Shuqin’s explanation.
The response matched Xia Chuyi’s predictions in some ways, yet surprised her in others.
It aligned with expectations since Xia Chuyi knew Jiang Fengqi was destined to rise as a female foreign minister later on.
Hence, Jiang Fengqi taking a diplomatic role in Europe or serving at an overseas embassy made perfect sense.
The surprise came because Xia Chuyi hadn’t anticipated Jiang Fengqi embarking on such a mission this early.
After all, she and Wang Zicheng were fresh newlyweds with just brief careers so far.
Xia Chuyi hadn’t foreseen Jiang Fengqi getting sent overseas so fast, let alone taking Wang Zicheng with her.
Doesn’t the relationship between Wang Zicheng and Jiang Fengqi look a bit like the husband tagging along after his wife?
Besides, Wang Zicheng definitely consumed that medicinal recipe, so why the ongoing issues?
Is there truly something wrong with the Heavenly Book Recipe’s medicinal food?
Pondering this, Xia Chuyi questioned Jiang Shuqin once more, “Shuqin, do you know when Senior Sister Jiang and her husband will depart?”
