After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1339 - 1338: Main Story Finale 11

It was certainly peculiar for Xia Pan to be munching on sunflower seeds under such circumstances…

"But since Ming isn’t here now, sister, let’s eat them together," Xia Pan said obediently to Xia Chuyi. "After all, Ming has Xiao Kong with him, so it’s alright if he eats a little less."

Xia Chuyi’s eyes suddenly lit up!

Xia Ming! Xiao Kong!

She finally grasped why Xia Pan had wanted her to snack on sunflower seeds!

Xia Chuyi gently reached out and patted Xia Pan’s head, saying, "Panpan is so good, sister just felt like eating sunflower seeds."

"Okay, then it’s all for sister!" Xia Pan exclaimed with sparkling eyes upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s words and handed the sunflower seeds over to Xia Chuyi.

"No need, let’s eat together," Xia Chuyi smiled faintly, shook her head, and told Xia Pan.

Then, Xia Chuyi turned her head and addressed Guo Jiumin, "Mr. Guo, I’ll share some sunflower seeds with my sister; you don’t object, do you?"

Hearing this, Guo Jiumin let out a hearty laugh and replied, "Girls enjoy snacking; of course, I don’t mind."

"If Madam Huo and her sister enjoy them," Guo Jiumin continued, "when we arrive, I will have people prepare more snacks for you so Madam Huo can have her fill!"

Clearly, Guo Jiumin interpreted Xia Chuyi and Xia Pan’s sunflower seed consumption as mere girlish indulgence.

Indulgence?

In the current predicament, Xia Chuyi was far from being indulgent.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo," Xia Chuyi replied calmly with a smile to Guo Jiumin.

Following that, Xia Chuyi began sharing sunflower seeds with Xia Pan, a mutual exchange.

The discarded shells from the eaten sunflower seeds were, now and then, subtly tossed out the window by Xia Chuyi.

Guo Jiumin paid little heed to this action.

After all, with the car speeding along, a stray sunflower seed shell was unlikely to cause any significant disturbance in Guo Jiumin’s perception.

However, what Guo Jiumin remained unaware of was that even such a tiny sunflower seed shell, discarded from a considerable distance, was sufficient for Uncle Quan to track by scent!

Indeed, the very reason Xia Chuyi was snacking on sunflower seeds was to leave behind "clues" and a scent trail for Uncle Quan.

It’s important to remember that Xia Pan and Xia Ming were practically inseparable.

And ever since Uncle Quan, affectionately known as Xiao Kong, was left with Xia Ming, Uncle Quan and Xia Ming had also become constant companions.

Consequently, when attending an event like a movie, Xia Pan’s presence implied Xia Ming’s attendance, and with Xia Ming present, it was a certainty that Uncle Quan would be brought along — after all, Uncle Quan, this little canine, could be carried in their arms at any moment.

Who exactly is Uncle Quan?

He is the creature from the special space!

Because he originates from that special space, Xiao Kong's animal instincts in every aspect are significantly heightened compared to creatures from the outside world.

For instance, his sense of smell is extraordinarily acute.

In other words, as long as Xia Chuyi and her sister left even the slightest trace or scent, Uncle Quan would be able to locate them with ease.

Previously, when Xia Chuyi initially conceived the plan to attend the meeting alone, she harbored no particular concerns.

After all, Guo Jiumin was unaware of Xia Chuyi’s true intentions, allowing her the flexibility to feign compliance and orchestrate a smooth escape.

Who could have foreseen, however, that Xia Pan would suddenly appear?

Xia Pan’s unexpected arrival immediately cast a shadow of suspicion on Xia Chuyi’s sincerity in Guo Jiumin’s eyes.

Under such circumstances, it became considerably more challenging for Xia Chuyi to maintain her facade.

Therefore, Xia Chuyi had already braced herself, even prepared to risk exposure, to protect both herself and Xia Pan using the specialized drugs from the space.
