After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 214 Handle It Yourself

Huo Shiqian pursed his lips and pulled her fiercely into his arms, as if he wanted to meld her into his flesh.

After a long moment, he slowly said, "I trust you." freewebnσvel.cѳm

Those three simple words were clear and powerful.

Xia Chuyi grinned with a smile.

Did Uncle Liberation Army believe her when she said his elder brother was a good man, or did he believe her when she said he was an honorable man who kept his word?

Huo Shiqian kept a stern face, his aura still terrifying—the kind that could make children cry.

However, she was not afraid. She knew that Uncle Liberation Army’s anger was all for her. Thus, his king-of-hell-like appearance, in her eyes, was actually the most adorable.

With eyes curved like crescent moons, Xia Chuyi met his handsome face and said sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Shi Qian!"

Playing coy again.

Huo Shiqian genuinely wanted to pinch her cheek.

But he was completely taken in by her antics.

Xia Chuyi chuckled quietly, knowing that he had temporarily quelled the storm.

He immediately turned to his own elder brother and said, "Elder brother, every wrong has its source, and this matter really has nothing to do with you."

"On contrary for you, this should be a good thing. Through this matter, you’ve totally seen Li Qiang’s true colors."

"From now on, you don’t have to listen to him or be influenced by him."

More importantly, there would be no more taking the fall and ending up in prison, and ultimately getting executed during the crackdown.

Thinking this, Xia Chuyi was in exceptionally good spirits.

With this, his elder brother’s fate had completely changed too!

Xia Chengzong’s expression was extremely complicated.

"Elder brother, you go to the warehouse to check the inventory first," Xia Chuyi gave him some time to himself.

At the same time, she also had things to discuss with Huo Shiqian.

"Brother Shi Qian, let’s go inside!" She smiled sweetly as she led a frost-faced Huo Shiqian into her room.

As soon as the door closed, she tilted her face upward and said with a coy smile, "Brother Shi Qian, please don’t be angry about this, okay?"

Silence.

Silence.

More silence.

When her face felt like it was about to become rigid from smiling.

"People are targeting you," Huo Shiqian looked down at her, his voice cold, "and you’re telling me not to be angry?"

Xia Chuyi’s mouth twitched, "...That’s not what I meant."

After thinking for a moment, she reached out to smooth his knitted brows and said, "You deal with Li Qiang, but I’ll take care of Xia Chengzu."

She spoke directly from her heart.

Seeing her seriousness, his brows that she had just smoothed furrowed again, and Huo Shiqian asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"I want to take revenge on Xia Chengzu myself," Xia Chuyi said, no longer playing coy or cute. Her tone was calm, but her expression was extremely serious.

Huo Shiqian furrowed his brows as he looked at her.

"Brother Shi Qian, you have to trust me; there are things I can handle myself," she said firmly.

He couldn’t always be by her side, and she couldn’t always depend on a man.

And this—this was the real her.

If he loved her, this version of her, he must accept it.

Huo Shiqian pursed his lips and remained silent.

Obviously, his anger hadn’t subsided and he didn’t agree with her words.

Suddenly, she moved closer to him, wrapped her arms around him, her eyes crescent-mooned, and cooingly said, "Oh come on, actually, I still need your help, Brother Shi Qian."

"Brother Shi Qian, will you help me?" she looked up at him coquettishly.

One movement, one sentence, magically dissipated his anger.

After a long while, Huo Shiqian said in a deep voice, "Okay, I promise you."

No problem, let her play.

After all, with him there, no matter how messy things got, he had the ability to help her clean it up.

Xia Chuyi nestled in his arms, sneaking a smile.

See, how wonderful her Uncle Liberation Army was! Though occasionally autocratic, he wasn’t someone who wouldn’t listen.
