After Marrying the Officer

Xia Chuyi said so much, yet Huo Shiqian's focus was only on the three words "fiancé"?

"Yes, the people outside are my fiancé and sister." She turned her face away and didn't look at him, "This time, the two people closest to me plotted to frame me!"

She couldn't help but clench her fists tightly, as scenes from her previous life seemed to replay before her eyes.

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this."

She lowered her head to hide the emotions in her eyes.

But in this life, I will never drag you down again.

She made a silent vow to herself.

Regaining her composure, Xia Chuyi lifted her head and looked at him, her voice and gaze filled with unwavering determination, "Let me go."

Huo Shiqian said nothing.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door.

"Chuyi, Chuyi, are you in there?"

Damn! That was Xia Lan's voice!

"Knock knock knock"

Her calls were accompanied by knocking sounds.

"Chuyi, Chuyi, it's Sister Lan, please open the door. Chuyi, what happened to you?"

It was a voice filled with worry, yet upon closer listening, it was clearly tinged with unmistakable excitement.

Her clenched fists were so tight that her fingernails dug into her flesh, causing a painful sting.

Indeed, in her past life, she had been blind, deaf, and foolish!

She took a deep breath.

"I must leave immediately!" Xia Chuyi didn't hesitate and dashed straight for the window.

Once again, someone grabbed her arm from behind.

"I'll take you."

"What?"

Before she could react, Huo Shiqian had already pulled her into his arms.

The knocking on the door grew fiercer, almost turning into pounding.

"Chuyi, Chuyi, are you there? If you don't open the door, we're going to break in!"

Suddenly, her body was lifted into the air, and Xia Chuyi found herself securely held in Huo Shiqian's embrace; he swiftly flipped out of the window and slid down the pipe to the ground below.

"Stay here and don't move."

After settling her down, Huo Shiqian instructed her sternly.

Then, she saw him use his hands and feet to swiftly climb back up to the second floor and disappear behind the window.

Gazing in the direction of the second floor, she could still smell Huo Shiqian's scent on her and couldn't help but smile slightly.

This person, he seemed cold, but in fact, he was a very warm person.

It's a pity that it was better for her to remain a stranger to him.

She didn't listen to him, walking around to the main entrance of the guesthouse and entered openly and boldly.

On the second floor, Huo Shiqian returned to the room and quickly made it appear as if nothing had happened.

"Thud."

As the pounding on the door grew more urgent, Huo Shiqian suddenly yanked the door open.

The woman outside immediately lit up with excitement, feigning concern as she tried to rush past Huo Shiqian.

"Chuyi!"

As soon as she stepped inside, she was grabbed by the collar and thrown out in a parabolic flight.

"Lanlan!" He Qing quickly caught her.

"Which bastard dares to hit..." The comrade who came with He Qing rolled up his sleeves, cursing, and charged forward, only to be kicked in the abdomen by a dark shadow and sent flying.

The comrade hadn't even recovered, clutching his stomach, when he raised his head and recognized the person at the door.

"Huo, Huo..."

He didn't dare to finish saying the name.

Huo Shiqian, known as Huo Yama, was the youngest, most influential military officer in the military district, infamous for his unyielding authority!

"Is there something wrong?" Huo Shiqian's icy voice echoed in the hallway.

By now, He Qing had also recognized Huo Shiqian, his voice somewhat timid.

"We're looking for someone... just looking for someone..."

He Qing's eyes sneaked a glance behind Huo Shiqian.

The room in the guesthouse was simply furnished, not very spacious; one could see everything at a glance.

The bedspread was slightly disheveled on the bed, with a military jacket casually thrown over the side of the bed; it was obvious that Huo Shiqian had been awoken by their noise.

But there was no sign of Xia Chuyi inside.

He Qing felt disappointed.

It would have been perfect if Xia Chuyi had really been with Huo Shiqian the previous night; then he could have caught something incriminating about Huo Shiqian.

Too bad.
