After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1265 - 1264: Invitation

Merely days after Huo Shiqian's departure, the film Xia Chuyi had funded premiered in theaters.

Upon learning that Xia Chuyi had completed her postpartum recovery, the film's director hurried over to invite her for a viewing.

The picture Xia Chuyi backed had long wrapped production and was hitting screens now.

"Catch the movie?" Xia Chuyi paused at the idea, then replied, "I’m nursing the baby right now, so it might not be convenient."

"We’ll discuss it once I’m free," she told the director.

He didn’t push further, simply adding, "Chuyi, this film wrapped up without a hitch solely because of you. You absolutely have to carve out time to see it!"

"Believe me, you’ll be cheering and applauding by the end!" the director boasted confidently.

Naturally, Xia Chuyi trusted the director’s words.

Setting aside its success from her past life,

even during her own viewing back then, she’d found it outstanding.

Thus, Xia Chuyi offered a faint smile after his words and said, "Director, of course I trust you."

Those around actors daily spot sincerity or pretense with sharp clarity.

The director’s heart swelled with joy and emotion at her response. "Chuyi," he confessed, "honestly, you’re the only one besides me who’s so sure about this film!"

He let out a sigh before adding, "I’m truly thankful for that..."

Pausing briefly with another sigh, he continued, "Oh, and Ke Xin will drop by soon too."

"He’s longed to thank you personally, but you were due any day then, so he couldn’t visit," explained the director. "This time, Ke Xin insists on meeting you to express his gratitude face-to-face."

When Li Kexin’s name came up, Xia Chuyi considered it briefly and responded, "That... let’s see how it goes."

In truth, be it attending the screening or seeing Li Kexin, Xia Chuyi would gladly make it happen if time allowed.

With a newborn demanding her attention now, though, finding that window proved tricky.

The director wouldn’t insist; he only urged, "Chuyi, now that I’ve mentioned it, please come if you can, alright!"

Xia Chuyi gave a soft smile and agreed, "Alright."

Once the call ended, Xia Chuyi headed to check on her little one.

Her big brother and second brother were both inside the room upon her arrival.

"Little Jinbao, Uncle hates to say goodbye to you..." Ou Cong lingered by the crib, his expression drenched in reluctance.

Uncle Ou was dead set on nicknaming Huo Shiwu "Jin Bao." Despite beatings and warnings from Ou ZhenTing and Ou Jun, nothing worked.

Eventually, they all gave up and let it slide.

Hearing her second brother’s words, Xia Chuyi arched a brow in puzzlement and asked, "Second Brother, heading out somewhere?"

Ou Cong whipped around at her voice. "Chuyi... Second Brother’s returning to G City."

Xia Chuyi went still at the news.

Ah yes, it had slipped her mind.

Her second brother ran a business back in G City, after all.

So she smiled and began, "Now that you mention it, Second Brother, you ought to get back there..."

Yet before she finished, Ou Cong’s face darkened instantly. "Chuyi, you really want me out of here that badly?"
