After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1268 - 1267: Matchmaking

This promotional strategy can swiftly cultivate a film's renown, persuading numerous local movie theaters and even itinerant film exhibitioners to acquire distribution rights.

Cinema in this era differs significantly from future times; not all films are exclusively experienced in theaters.

Frequently, when a motion picture achieves immense popularity, it sparks a chain reaction, leading many venues to pay for screening privileges.

A considerable number of individuals also procure copies independently to host paid viewings.

Naturally, even without Xia Chuyi's intervention, this particular film was destined for widespread success.

Xia Chuyi's strategy, however, merely serves to expedite its triumph.

Consequently, Xia Chuyi stated with composure, "Rest assured, I can indeed procure the tickets."

"It's just that, as you understand, attending such tangible events isn't entirely convenient for me," Xia Chuyi informed Jiang Shuqin. "So tonight, I will have my second brother accompany you."

"Consider the tickets a parting gift for the two of you," Xia Chuyi further elaborated.

Given that both families have reached an unspoken accord on the matter, Xia Chuyi might as well provide a gentle nudge, hoping to open their eyes at long last.

Frankly speaking, Xia Chuyi harbored concerns about her second brother's dependability in the past.

It now appears, however, that while her second brother may possess a degree of unreliability, he is undeniably quite steadfast and deeply devoted to his family—showing kindness to Xia Chuyi and the children.

But if, after obtaining the tickets tomorrow, they still fail to see things clearly, Xia Chuyi will truly be at a loss—this thought crossed Xia Chuyi's mind.

"Really? Thank you so much!" Jiang Shuqin, however, completely missed Xia Chuyi's subtle intentions. She simply enveloped Xia Chuyi in an enthusiastic hug, exclaiming, "Chuyi, I absolutely adore you!"

Observing this scene, Xia Chuyi couldn't help but let out a sigh.

She genuinely wondered if her efforts would yield any tangible results.

In the evening, Jiang Shuqin, having secured the tickets, indeed invited Ou Cong to the movie screening.

Jiang Shuqin was brimming with excitement for the outing, but Ou Cong seemed somewhat reluctant.

"I wish to spend more time with Little Jinbao..." Second Young Master Ou mused, expressing his hesitation.

Xia Chuyi and Jiang Shuqin: ...

Xia Chuyi couldn't help but suspect that even if the pair journeyed to G City together, they might end up returning as mere acquaintances.

"Ou Cong, Shi Wu sleeps soundly at night; what benefit is there in you staying? Shi Wu won't even give you the time of day!" Jiang Shuqin reasoned. "Or do you intend to disturb the child's slumber?"

"I absolutely never said that!" Ou Cong retorted instantly upon hearing Jiang Shuqin's words.

As Ou Cong spoke, his gaze shifted about, emphatically denying any such intention.

Seeing through her second brother's subtle machinations, Xia Chuyi: ...

Ultimately, Ou Cong did accompany Jiang Shuqin to the film.

After their departure, Ou Jun arrived to visit the child.

Accompanying Ou Jun was Xiao Jingqi.

Throughout Xia Chuyi's pregnancy and the period following childbirth, Xiao Jingqi had undertaken the role of a guardian for the Ou Family, serving as Xia Chuyi's personal bodyguard.

It was only after the child reached one month of age that Xiao Jingqi had to rejoin the army due to pressing matters.

Now that the army's obligations have been fulfilled, Xiao Jingqi made the journey to see Xia Chuyi and greet the infant.

Upon spotting Xiao Jingqi, Xia Chuyi's face lit up with a smile as she greeted her, "Jingqi, you've arrived?"

"Yes, I've come to see you and the little one!" Xiao Jingqi responded with a radiant smile directed at Xia Chuyi.
