After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1464: Epilogue – Countdown to the Grand Finale

"I hope you won't be in such a hurry to make a judgment. Give me a chance, let me pursue you, okay?"

"Let's… start over!"

Start over?

Jiang Shuqin looked at Ou Cong; Ou Cong's gaze was very firm.

After a while, Jiang Shuqin finally said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance… to pursue me."

As the saying goes, rejecting is爽 for a moment, but then comes the wife-chasing crematorium.

Ou Cong quickly realized that the "chance" he'd gotten was really just a "chance."

In other words, Jiang Shuqin had only agreed to give him a chance to pursue her, nothing more.

And this kind of "chance" wasn't his alone—other people had it too—for example, that He Jun.

Although Jiang Shuqin no longer went on blind dates, not long after He Jun returned to the Capital City, once he knew Jiang Shuqin was still single, he started formally pursuing her.

Since what Ou Cong had was only a "chance," then of course other people could pursue Jiang Shuqin as well.

Over this, Ou Cong gnashed his teeth in hatred, yet there was nothing he could do.

Sending flowers, gifts, asking her out to the movies… he pulled out every trick he could think of, but on Jiang Shuqin's side, there was still no real progress.

On the contrary, because He Jun had gone to college, he and Jiang Shuqin actually had quite a lot to talk about.

Helpless, the Second Young Master Ou, who had been away from school for many years, had no choice but to hug a few literary books and try to add a bit of "literary flair" to himself so he could outshine He Jun.

But reading, of all things—how could that be something the Second Young Master Ou could actually do?

In the end, Ou Cong could only go to his little sister for help.

"Chuyi, help me out. How can I keep up with Shuqin in conversation?" Ou Cong poured out his troubles to Xia Chuyi in utter distress.

Seeing her second brother scratching at his hair like he was about to pull it all out, Xia Chuyi said rather helplessly, "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, Second Brother. Don't you think you're going in the wrong direction here?"

Competing with someone else in "literary flair"—had he lost his mind?

Besides, there really wasn't anything between Jiang Shuqin and He Jun.

In fact, Jiang Shuqin had long since made things clear to He Jun: she only saw him as an ordinary friend.

As for He Jun, after hearing Jiang Shuqin say that—and then learning about Ou Cong's situation—although he felt a bit regretful, he still retreated back to the boundary of "just friends."

Jiang Shuqin had already told Xia Chuyi about this.

However, rejecting He Jun was one thing; whether or not she accepted Ou Cong was another matter entirely.

Now, Jiang Shuqin firmly believed that time was the true test of feelings, so she planned to test Ou Cong a bit more before deciding whether or not to be with him.

Even though everyone said Ou Cong was Xia Chuyi's own second brother, on this matter, Xia Chuyi still stood on Jiang Shuqin's side.

Her second brother, that man... the way he talked and did things was far too immature; he really did deserve a proper lesson.

Besides Xia Chuyi, everyone else in the Ou Family shared this opinion.

Later on, with no one left to back him up, Ou Cong could only bring along his one and only "reinforcement" at home—little Huo Shiwu—to go see Jiang Shuqin.

"Aunt Jiang, do you like Shi Wu?" Little Huo Shiwu, acting like a tiny grown-up, said to Jiang Shuqin, "If you like Shi Wu, will you marry Second Uncle? That way, Aunt Jiang, you can be Shi Wu's second aunt."

Facing the little grown-up-like Huo Shiwu, Jiang Shuqin: …

Ou Cong had really outdone himself, actually roping a child into helping him?

"Alright, Aunt Jiang agrees to be your second aunt," Jiang Shuqin said. "But Aunt Jiang is only agreeing to be your second aunt, not your Second Uncle's wife, okay?"
