After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1227 - 1226: Seeing Off
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
At long last, the weekend had arrived.
With her prominent belly, Xia Chuyi truly made her way to the airport to bid them farewell.
Jiang Fengqi displayed notable astonishment at her appearance.
"Chuyi, you actually showed up?" Spotting Xia Chuyi, Jiang Fengqi felt both joyful and a bit worried, promptly inquiring, "Is your condition truly alright?"
Her words revealed that Jiang Fengqi had been informed beforehand by Jiang Shuqin about her coming.
Those unacquainted with pregnancy often grow more anxious than the expectant mother when eyeing a heavily pregnant woman.
Xia Chuyi had grown accustomed to such reactions by now.
"I’m okay." Xia Chuyi grinned and assured Jiang Fengqi, "Shiqian accompanied me here."
Regarding her second brother—Ou Cong had wished to join, yet Huo Shiqian insisted he remain at home.
After replying to Jiang Fengqi, Xia Chuyi turned to the nearby Jiang Shuqin, who kept staring into the distance, and remarked: "Quit staring; he hasn’t arrived yet."
"Who said I’m staring at him?" Jiang Shuqin shot back reflexively to Xia Chuyi’s comment, "Since Huo Shiqian is present, your second brother isn’t needed at all, so it’s no issue he stayed away."
"I suggested it the other day out of concern that Huo Shiqian might not join you." Jiang Shuqin pursed her lips, though her voice stayed composed.
Witnessing this, Xia Chuyi mused: True enough, these two bickering lovebirds remain utterly oblivious.
That said, Xia Chuyi’s main concern today wasn’t Jiang Shuqin.
So, she swiftly directed her focus back to Jiang Fengqi, inquiring: "Senior sister, was the Europe trip a sudden choice, or had it been scheduled earlier?"
Rather than diving straight into her key question, Xia Chuyi began by inquiring about Jiang Fengqi’s professional matters.
Jiang Fengqi let out a sigh in response: "This trip... it was somewhat impromptu, yet also long premeditated."
"Truth is, heading to Europe fit into my original career roadmap." Jiang Fengqi explained, "But certain complications accelerated the timeline slightly."
Xia Chuyi pondered upon hearing that: Complications? Perhaps tied to the fallout from Wang Zicheng?
Jiang Fengqi then offered a faint smile, adding, "Without that, tackling work in Europe with my limited background would leave me struggling with countless challenges."
"I’m unsure if I’ll excel in this role or how long adaptation will take." With these words, Jiang Fengqi began fretting once more.
Xia Chuyi shook her head firmly and declared, "Not at all, senior sister—you’ll surely shine. I have full faith in you."
Her assurance rang with unwavering certainty.
Jiang Fengqi beamed at Xia Chuyi’s words, shaking her head as she replied, "Chuyi, you always place this baffling trust in me."
"Thanks, Chuyi." Jiang Fengqi spread her arms for a warm embrace, saying, "Let your faith bring me good fortune."
"No need for thanks," Xia Chuyi responded. "I genuinely believe in your abilities."
This belief stemmed not just from her foresight of unknown paths ahead but also from recognizing Jiang Fengqi’s true capabilities after getting to know her.
"Oh, senior sister, has Mr. Wang completely healed from his earlier injury?" After some casual talk, Xia Chuyi posed the query on her mind, "Is it safe for Mr. Wang to travel to Europe alongside you?"
