After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1434 - 1433: Whom Is Deep Affection Given To?

So, early in the morning, Ou Cong quietly slipped out through his back door to go find Jiang Shuqin.

However, upon arriving at the Jiang Family house, Ou Cong discovered that Jiang Shuqin had gone on a trip.

"What, Shuqin went traveling?" This answer was completely unexpected for Ou Cong. "Where did she go?"

Upon hearing Ou Cong’s question, Mrs. Jiang didn’t give him an answer. Instead, she said, "Ou Cong, I’ve already heard about the situation between you and Shuqin."

"I misunderstood you. You two were never a couple," Mrs. Jiang sighed, "You never liked Shuqin. Since that’s the case, you shouldn’t worry too much about it. Let Shuqin take some time to calm down. In the future, you two can remain friends."

Remain friends? Hearing Mrs. Jiang’s words, Ou Cong couldn’t help but question himself.

Jiang Shuqin’s attitude clearly showed that she no longer wanted to be friends with him.

Probably, they could only be ordinary strangers.

This made Ou Cong feel very anxious inside.

"Auntie, where exactly has Shuqin gone? Can you tell me?" Ou Cong couldn’t help but ask Mrs. Jiang again. "There are some things I feel I need to discuss seriously with her."

In response, Mrs. Jiang shook her head and said, "Forget it, Shuqin just wants some time alone to calm down."

In the end, Mrs. Jiang didn’t tell Ou Cong where Jiang Shuqin had gone.

Thus, feeling quite depressed, Ou Cong could only return home.

When he got home, the family noticed his return.

"Went to look for Shuqin early this morning?" Mrs. Ou saw her son return in a daze and asked, "What happened, did you see her? She still refuses to forgive you?"

Hearing this, Ou Cong shook his head and said somewhat aggrievedly, "There’s nothing to forgive, I never saw her. Shuqin went traveling."

"Went traveling?" Hearing this, even Mrs. Ou was slightly surprised.

Having just returned to Capital City yesterday, she left again today... That Jiang Family girl seems determined not to get along with my son.

About this, Mrs. Ou could only express regret and said, "Since that’s the case, while Shuqin is traveling, you should take the time to think carefully at home about how to handle this matter."

After advising her son, Mrs. Ou didn’t bother him any further and went about her own affairs.

"Yes, second son, you should think it over carefully." Ou ZhenTing, about to leave for work at the military unit, said to his own son, "Shuqin is a good girl. If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be another chance."

And as for the couple Ou Jun and his wife, they glanced at him without saying anything.

Just before going out, Ou Jun patted Ou Cong on the shoulder.

The meaning was clear—encouraging him to handle this matter well himself.

Because he couldn’t find Jiang Shuqin and didn’t know where she had gone.

In the following days, Ou Cong could only stay home, brooding and deeply pondering over this matter.

But thinking and thinking, again and again, Ou Cong still couldn’t understand why Jiang Shuqin was messing up the relationship between the two.

Is there anything wrong with being partners?

As for feelings between a man and a woman... After thinking it over for a long time, Ou Cong gradually felt a slight inkling.

It seems, maybe, perhaps he does have some feelings for Jiang Shuqin.

Otherwise, why over the years has Jiang Shuqin been the only female friend around him? And why is he so anxious about her?
