After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 248 - 2048 Shock to Xia Lan

Huo Shiqian’s eyes were hiding a towering rage.

Xia Chuyi chuckled with a smile, "I’m willing to be a cotton tree, standing by your side."

She turned a famous poem from that era into a confession of love for him.

Huo Shiqian understood.

After a long while, he finally sighed.

The rage gradually subsided, replaced by a faint pride.

Look, this was his girl, strong, persistent, sly, and sweet.

Her eyes, when they shone, were like fire, and when cold, like crystal.

Huo Shiqian couldn’t believe that one day, he would be so captivated by such a girl.

His gaze grew darker, he leaned in, and kissed her lips directly.

Now that he had decided on this person, he was determined to spoil her to the heavens.

So, let it be, whatever she wanted, he would grant.

Hiss, from a distance, the snooping crowd sucked in a breath.

Isn’t this too bold?

Fortunately, Huo Shiqian’s identity made people dare not show any reaction.

Even inside, there was a hidden envy toward Xia Chuyi.

Look at her, snagging a high-ranking officer!

Among them, one person clenched their fists, their envy particularly apparent—this person was Xia Lan.

After marrying into the He family, Xia Lan wasn’t much liked by her mother-in-law and often suffered grievances.

But thinking of He Qing, who was far away in the military, she could endure it.

Having a hard time herself, she especially enjoyed seeing others fare poorly, especially the Xia Family.

Whenever something happened to the Xia Family, if she could make it, she would definitely come to enjoy the spectacle, like today.

She was late because Mrs. He had asked her to do something, and upon arriving, she saw Xia Chuyi tugging and pulling with a man.

She initially wanted to scorn them, but then, she saw Huo Shiqian being intimate with Xia Chuyi.

Her eyes immediately widened, fixating on Huo Shiqian.

This, isn’t this... the man from back then?

The man who had come out of the room where she had set Xia Chuyi up!

How could this man be involved with Xia Chuyi?

Xia Lan’s heart was in turmoil.

Could it be that her scheme back then had succeeded? Had Xia Chuyi really been slept with?

Even if it was the wrong man, she indeed had lost her virginity!

Ah, such a pity, she should have been more ruthless back then and stripped Xia Chuyi of her clothes!

Once the clothes were off, wouldn’t everything have been clear?

Hmph, she could only blame herself for being too softhearted then, and Xia Chuyi, that wretched girl, was too good at acting!

Xia Lan’s gaze flickered incessantly.

So, Xia Chuyi had hooked up with this man back then?

She couldn’t help but turn her gaze to Huo Shiqian.

Tall, majestic, handsome, and a high-ranking military officer!

If she had known that the room had such an outstanding man, would she have let Xia Chuyi sleep with him? She would have gone herself!

No, she couldn’t think like that, she was already married to Brother Qing.

Brother Qing was young and promising, his future would definitely be bright!

As for this military officer... Hmph, just a country girl like Xia Chuyi, she was just slept with and played with.

Would anyone truly care about her?

With this thought, Xia Lan smugly thought to herself: Xia Chuyi, I’m waiting to see you being abandoned and becoming a cast-off shoe, to see who would want you then!

Her gaze was so intense that it caught Xia Chuyi’s attention.

Xia Lan?

Seeing her didn’t surprise Xia Chuyi; rather... she glanced at Huo Shiqian by her side.

Xia Lan probably already guessed the truth.

However, she arched an eyebrow, so what, times had changed, and Xia Lan speaking out now would not make a difference.

But, she speculated that Xia Lan might use this to threaten her.

It had to be said, Xia Chuyi still understood Xia Lan quite well.
