After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1226 - 1225: Diplomatic Mission
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
Jiang Shuqin answered Xia Chuyi, "They’re leaving this weekend."
"You know, our country Z hasn’t established diplomatic relations with many European countries for long," Jiang Shuqin went on, "so they’re still quite short of staff there."
Xia Chuyi nodded after hearing this and responded, "If it’s this weekend... I’ll find some time to see them off then."
"You’re going to see my sister off?" Jiang Shuqin’s eyes widened right away at those words, as she asked, "Is your current health okay for that?"
With a concerned gaze, Jiang Shuqin looked at Xia Chuyi’s rounded belly and wondered, "Is it convenient? Will everything be alright?"
"What could happen?" Xia Chuyi shook her head while smiling softly, replying, "Having a baby doesn’t happen overnight; I’m just seeing them off, it’ll be fine."
"Besides, Senior Sister Jiang and the others are going so far for work, who knows when they’ll be back, so it’s only right that I see them off," Xia Chuyi stated in a composed manner.
"Well..." Jiang Shuqin hesitated a little still.
She had been the one sharing the news with Xia Chuyi, worried that something bad might occur to her because of it.
Xia Chuyi noticed Jiang Shuqin’s anxious face and assured her, "Shuqin, you really don’t need to overthink it."
"I’m just seeing them off, it won’t be a problem." With a faint smile, Xia Chuyi added, "At that time, Shiqian will accompany me."
"Even if it’s inconvenient and Shiqian doesn’t have time, my family will send someone to escort me," Xia Chuyi finished reassuringly.
Jiang Shuqin finally gave a reluctant nod upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s explanation and cautioned, "Then you must be careful."
Jiang Shuqin pondered for a moment and proposed, "How about this, Chuyi."
"When the time comes, have Ou Er go with you, I’ll be there too, having more people will ensure you’re well taken care of!" Jiang Shuqin suggested sincerely.
Xia Chuyi felt somewhat helpless at this suggestion.
Her second brother?
That would likely prove even less dependable.
Yet, to avoid worrying Jiang Shuqin excessively, Xia Chuyi held back any objections.
Let him tag along if he insists; she had long grown accustomed to her second brother’s flakiness anyway.
That evening, after bidding Jiang Shuqin farewell, Xia Chuyi informed Huo Shiqian about the matter.
"Going to see Jiang Fengqi off?" Huo Shiqian’s brows furrowed slightly upon learning of Xia Chuyi’s plan.
Huo Shiqian obviously wasn’t on board with the idea.
He had deliberately withheld this information from Xia Chuyi to prevent her from overexerting herself.
Spotting Huo Shiqian’s look, Xia Chuyi quickly grasped her husband’s stance.
She then explained to Huo Shiqian, "According to Shuqin, one of the reasons Senior Sister and the others are heading to Europe stems from the repercussions of Wang Zicheng’s injury."
"So, they need to go to Europe for convalescence." Xia Chuyi frowned with concern and added, "In that case, doesn’t it mean my Medicinal Food might have defects?"
"If there’s a defect in my Medicinal Food, then having it, can I not guarantee the baby’s health?"
This sparked fresh worries in Xia Chuyi about the baby’s well-being.
Huo Shiqian noticed his wife slipping back into a gloomy mood once more.
With no other choice, Huo Shiqian sighed deep inside and relented, "Alright, if you want to go, then go."
"At that time, I’ll go with you," Huo Shiqian stated in an especially steady tone.
