After Marrying the Officer

"Chuyi, I just saw the number Family Cheng wrote on the note, and it seems the same as the number Housekeeper Li wrote?" After a while, Ou Jun couldn't help but ask Xia Chuyi.

Upon hearing Ou Jun's words, Xia Chuyi's eyes curved into crescents, nodded, and replied to him, "Yes, they're indeed the same."

"Oh?" Ou Jun sounded slightly surprised, "Then why did you sell the jade to the Li family?"

Xia Chuyi's smile grew wider. "It's nothing, I just feel like Housekeeper Li's personality, the kind that only talks about money, is more in line with my temperament!"

Hearing this, Ou Jun couldn't help but laugh out loud and shake his head.

Seeing his reaction, Xia Chuyi also laughed, "Big brother, thank you for today!"

Ou Jun said, "Why be polite? Since you've acknowledged me as your big brother, it's what I should do."

After he finished speaking, he shook his head again, "To tell the truth, I didn't expect a piece of jade to sell for this price."

"Chuyi, Huo Shiqian is really good to you."

As he said the last sentence, Ou Jun went from shaking his head to nodding, his eyes filled with admiration for Huo Shiqian.

"Yeah, he's indeed very good to me." About her Uncle Liberation Army, Xia Chuyi did not skimp on the praise.

"Chuyi, when do you plan to cut the remaining original stones?" Suddenly, Ou Jun asked Xia Chuyi.

Xia Chuyi tilted her head, thought for a moment, and answered, "I'll put them aside for a while. I have some plans in mind, I'll talk about it later."

Upon hearing this, Ou Jun didn't say much, only commenting, "My mother will be coming back in a few days. Since you're not returning to Ling County, come to the Ou Mansion then."

"I think she'll like you a lot."

After listening to Ou Jun, Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Sure."

Honestly, she quite liked Mrs. Ou as well.

When everything was settled, in the end, Ou Jun escorted Xia Chuyi back to the shop.

Since she made a hefty sum of money, that evening, Xia Chuyi took out some stored wine from her space and invited Qian Qianqian and others to drink with her.

However, she overestimated her own tolerance and underestimated the power of the alcohol, and after a while, she became completely tipsy.

Then, she groggily fumbled for the phone and dialed to Huo Shiqian.

"Hey, put me through to your Commander Huo!" Xia Chuyi said firmly to the operator on the other end of the phone.

"Who am I?"

"I am your commander's wife," Xia Chuyi stated with conviction.

After a while, Huo Shiqian took the call.

"Hey, girl?" Huo Shiqian spoke to Xia Chuyi over the phone.

Hearing Huo Shiqian's voice, Xia Chuyi's eyes immediately turned into crescents, and she sweetly called out, "Uncle Liberation Army..."

Huo Shiqian: ...

"Girl, did you drink again?" Huo Shiqian couldn't resist asking her.

"Hehe." Xia Chuyi giggled twice and, with her little finger, gestured in the air before telling the receiver, "Just a little bit, only a tiny bit."

Huo Shiqian on the other end of the phone sighed lightly, "The jade turned out well, great quality?"

Otherwise, this girl wouldn't be happily drinking.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi instantly laughed and said, "Right!"

"Great!"

She covered her mouth, giggling sneakily for a while.

"Brother Shi Qian, listen to me, do you know? The piece of jade that came out today sold for..." Xia Chuyi grinned as she pressed the receiver and whispered a number.

Even through the phone, Huo Shiqian could imagine how smug Xia Chuyi must have looked, triumphant like a little fox.
