After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1335 - 1334: Main Story Finale 7

At this moment, the bodyguards brought by Xia Chuyi were positioned at every main entrance, their primary concern being any potential unforeseen incidents. However, unknown to them, such a defense was ineffective against Xia Chuyi's own 'active assistance.' This means that with Xia Chuyi's 'active cooperation,' and a bit of concealment from Guo Jiumin’s associates, she could easily slip away from the cinema through the secondary exit typically used by the film crew, completely unnoticed.

The bodyguards employed by the Ou Family were completely blindsided by Xia Chuyi's surprising willingness to cooperate, and thus, they failed to detect her departure. They would only realize something was amiss after the movie concluded and the film crew's event had ended.

Not far from the cinema, a black car had stopped ahead. Observing this, Xia Chuyi's brow furrowed slightly as she inquired, "Where are you planning on taking me?" The individual waiting for her offered no reply, simply opening the car door.

Then, a voice emerged from within the vehicle. "Young Madam Huo, please do not be alarmed. Just step into the car." Guo Jiumin, seated in the back, addressed Xia Chuyi. "I simply wish for Young Madam Huo to accompany me to a more secluded location for a discussion." He added with a pleasant expression, "After all, Young Madam Huo, you understand that the matters we need to discuss are of a sensitive nature and require privacy."

Witnessing this, Xia Chuyi looked at Guo Jiumin, her frown deepening. This Guo Jiumin... Xia Chuyi recollected their prior encounters. Without fail, regardless of the 'gentle' facade Guo Jiumin presented, there was always a discernible air of a smiling tiger about him.

Noticing Xia Chuyi's slight hesitation, Guo Jiumin cast a look of significant meaning in her direction. "What is the matter? Does Young Madam Huo not trust me?" Xia Chuyi narrowed her eyes, contemplating how best to respond.

At this precise moment, a short distance away. "Sister?" It was Xia Pan, who had accompanied Huang Xiaoyun to the event to catch a glimpse of the movie stars. Clutching a bag of sunflower seeds, Xia Pan glanced towards Xia Chuyi's location, a look of genuine surprise on her face. "Why is Sister here?" Seeing Xia Chuyi, Xia Pan was truly astonished.

Yet, beyond the surprise, Xia Pan was also quite delighted to see her sister. Having spotted Xia Chuyi, Xia Pan, who had just purchased some sunflower seeds for snacking, did not immediately rush back to find Huang Xiaoyun and Xia Ming. Instead, she excitedly hurried in Xia Chuyi's direction. "Sister, Sister!" Xia Pan called out, weaving through the throng of people.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xia Chuyi immediately turned her head. Then, just as she clearly recognized the running figure of Xia Pan, Xia Chuyi's expression shifted dramatically. What was happening? Why was Xia Pan here! The very reason Xia Chuyi had come alone was to prevent anyone else from being implicated. Who could have predicted she would run into Xia Pan at this very moment!

"Sister, Sister, why are you here?" Xia Pan arrived, exclaiming joyfully, "Didn't you say you were busy today and wouldn't be watching a movie?" Seeing Xia Chuyi filled Xia Pan with happiness. However, upon seeing Xia Pan, Xia Chuyi found herself utterly incapable of smiling. Xia Pan's innocent question had inadvertently revealed Xia Chuyi's deception. They had supposedly agreed to attend together, yet here she was, having come alone.

The implication was undeniable: Xia Chuyi did not trust Guo Jiumin. Unaware of Guo Jiumin's true nature and fearing he might vent his anger on Xia Pan, Xia Chuyi immediately rebuked her sister, "What are you doing here instead of studying at home? Go back right now!" Xia Pan looked taken aback, asking, "Huh? Sister?"
