After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1295 - 1294: Quite Bold

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine," Xia Chuyi reassured Xiao Jingqi.

"Well..." Seeing Xia Chuyi’s resolute demeanor, Xiao Jingqi could only advise, "Then please be extra careful yourself."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi offered a slight smile and replied, "Rest assured, I’ll take good care of myself."

Now, with both elder and younger family members, and a devoted husband outside, Xia Chuyi naturally cherishes her own life dearly.

"By the way..." After a moment of consideration, Xia Chuyi proposed, "Let’s proceed with our plan to watch the movie."

"Huh? Watch a movie?" Xiao Jingqi reacted instantly, questioning, "Isn’t that a bad idea? Things are so chaotic lately; we should be more cautious!"

Xia Chuyi, however, shook her head and stated, "It’s pointless to disrupt our plans because of the mastermind behind all this."

"After all, who knows when this mastermind will actually reveal themselves?" Xia Chuyi mused, "If they never emerge, should we cease all normal social interactions?"

"This..." Xiao Jingqi clearly hesitated.

Xia Chuyi chuckled, saying, "Relax, if I’m not worried, why should you be?"

"Besides, when we go to the movie, you’ll be there, my brother will be there, and I firmly believe that even if they harbor intentions to act, they definitely won’t choose that opportune moment."

"Hmm... you do have a point," Xiao Jingqi finally conceded, persuaded by Xia Chuyi’s logic.

"Then let’s do that," Xia Chuyi confirmed from yesterday, adding, "The movie tickets are for Sunday evening; by then, you come along with my brother."

"I’ll bring Xia Pan and Xia Ming, along with my employees from Youwei; we can all head out together," Xia Chuyi elaborated.

"Okay... I’ll listen to you..." Picturing the movie outing and momentarily setting aside the mastermind issue, Xiao Jingqi couldn’t help but flash a bashful smile.

Observing Xiao Jingqi’s reaction, Xia Chuyi couldn't help but mirror her smile.

The matter was settled, at least for the time being.

Subsequently, Xia Chuyi returned to her perceived "peaceful" life, awaiting the arrival of the weekend.

However, before the weekend could arrive, Xia Chuyi received yet another call from Xia Lianlian.

This time, just as before, Xia Lianlian had an intermediary make the initial call.

Only after confirming the call had successfully connected with Xia Chuyi did Xia Lianlian take over the line.

All these deliberate actions unmistakably indicated the presence of others pulling the strings behind Xia Lianlian.

Before answering the call, Xia Chuyi subtly signaled the household guard.

Upon seeing the gesture, the guard nodded in understanding.

This signal was a contingency plan Xia Chuyi had prepared in advance.

Should Xia Lianlian dare to call, this would be her predetermined way of alerting everyone.

What began as a mere precaution had, unexpectedly, led Xia Lianlian to actually make another call.

The guard, having received the signal, had already departed to fetch assistance.

Witnessing this, Xia Chuyi finally picked up the phone and stated coldly, "Xia Lianlian, are you done yet?"

"Done with what?" Xia Lianlian retorted loudly over the phone, her voice sharp, "How could what’s between you and me possibly be ‘done’?"

"Hmph, Xia Chuyi, you committed those disgraceful acts previously, and now the gossip has spread throughout the entire town... Do you have any thoughts on this matter?" Xia Lianlian inquired smugly, her tone laced with triumph.

"Nothing in particular," Xia Chuyi responded with measured calm, then asked directly, "Was it you?"

As Xia Chuyi posed the question, a thought crossed her mind: What exactly is going on with Xia Lianlian? Is her information outdated, unaware that the rumors have already begun to fade?
