After Marrying the Officer
Chapter 1340 - 1339: Main Story Finale 12
Who knew, heaven always leaves a way out, Xia Pan had a packet of sunflower seeds in her hand.
And this child cleverly thought of a way to leave "marks."
As Xia Chuyi cracked open the sunflower seeds, she thought to herself: If my previous life hadn’t been ruined by my family’s burdens, maybe I really could have become famous.
Life is unpredictable.
Just as Xia Chuyi was sighing, the car finally stopped.
And the packet of sunflower seeds was nearly finished by the two of them.
Thankfully, thankfully, they had finally arrived!
Xia Chuyi let out a deep breath of relief.
After getting out of the car, Xia Chuyi observed the surroundings; it seemed to be a somewhat secluded courtyard.
Once inside the courtyard, Guo Jiumin indeed instructed someone to go outside to buy snacks for the two of them.
After giving the instructions, Guo Jiumin said, "Young Madam Huo, you see, I am very sincere towards you, right?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi thought: Sincerity? That’s not sincerity towards them, but rather sincerity towards the interests they represent.
However, Xia Chuyi naturally didn’t say this out loud and only replied, "Thank you, Mr. Guo."
"So, Young Madam Huo, shall we borrow the study for a conversation?" Guo Jiumin said.
Going to the study for a talk...
At this proposal, Xia Chuyi was slightly hesitant.
She glanced at Xia Pan.
Xia Chuyi was hesitant because if she wasn’t there, could Xia Pan take care of herself?
The most important thing was, if Xiao Kong followed the scent of sunflower seeds to find them... would it alert the enemy and trap Panpan?
However, what Guo Jiumin wanted to discuss was probably the matter of her being a "Prophet."
This matter definitely wasn’t suitable for too many people to know.
Thinking it over, Xia Chuyi instructed Xia Pan: "Panpan, stay here obediently and don’t run around. Wait for me; I’ll be back very soon."
As she spoke, Xia Chuyi took the opportunity to slip something into Xia Pan’s hand.
"Panpan, Mr. Guo is kind to us; we must know how to repay kindness," Xia Chuyi said. "Because as people, we must distinguish between gratitude and grievance. Grievances must be avenged, and kindness must be repaid."
To others, it probably seemed as if Xia Chuyi was teaching Xia Pan to repay kindness.
Little did they know, Xia Chuyi was instructing Xia Pan that if the situation was unclear and someone wanted to do something, she must remember to fight back.
And the medicine powder Xia Chuyi gave her was a weapon for retaliation.
This point, although she was still young, she understood the gift.
"Rest assured, sister, I understand!" Xia Pan solemnly nodded and, while no one was paying attention, hid the medicine in her bosom.
Seeing this, Xia Chuyi relaxed a little.
Then, Xia Chuyi followed Guo Jiumin to the study.
Inside the study, with no idle people around, Xia Chuyi immediately straightforwardly asked Guo Jiumin, "Mr. Guo, tell me, what did you invite me here for?"
Seeing Xia Chuyi being so direct, Guo Jiumin was equally straightforward and said, "Very well, since Young Madam Huo asked directly, then I’ll answer you directly."
"Young Madam Huo, I know your ’secret,’" Guo Jiumin said, with a slight sense of pride and understanding, to Xia Chuyi.
"My secret?" Xia Chuyi replied calmly, "What secret of mine?"
Xia Chuyi intentionally said this to probe Guo Jiumin’s situation.
Upon hearing Xia Chuyi say that, Guo Jiumin shook his head on purpose and sighed, "Young Madam Huo, you’re not being honest here!"
As he spoke, Guo Jiumin’s eyes were full of disdain.
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi also shook her head, calmly saying, "I truly don’t know, please enlighten me, Mr. Guo."
