After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 110 - 101 Causing Trouble Again

Chapter 110: Chapter 101 Causing Trouble Again

The delicate watch chain, the exquisite watch body… She hadn’t had time to look closely before, but now as she took a closer look, she found that at the bottom inside of the watch, there was a row of initial letters engraved.

Was it really customized?

Xia Chuyi helplessly shook her head, “It seems I need to think seriously about a return gift now.”

Huo Shiqian, oh Huo Shiqian, why did you give me such a valuable thing?

She didn’t want it at all… well, actually, she really did need a watch.

After her rebirth, without a mobile phone or a watch, she often felt uncomfortable.

And the design of the watch, well, she was quite fond of it too.

As she walked back to the village, she played with the watch in her hands. When she was about to enter the village, she looked around to make sure no one was watching. Then, with a flip of her hand, she put the watch into her pocket together with her overcoat.

She would wait for some time, find a way to fabricate a backstory for the watch, and then she could wear it openly.

After Huo Shiqian left, Xia Chuyi’s life returned to its usual tranquility.

During the day, she ran, helped Aunt Xia with the New Year goods, wrote and mailed letters, and personally went to the post office to collect Huo Shiqian’s letters—she had bribed the postman with a bottle of liquor to keep her letters aside, without notifying the Xia family.

Having settled everything, at night, she would dive into her space to study, and incidentally continue to explore the recipes in the Heavenly Book.

Initially, during her morning runs, she had seen Xia Chengzu several times rushing to catch a carriage, carrying bags of stuff in his hands.

Just a glance from a distance was enough for her to guess that he was using the gifts given by her Uncle Xia and the gifts from the army to curry favor.

It was a pity that Xia Chengzu was bound to be disappointed.

Once the army intervened, his job was definitely not going to continue.

Perhaps blaming her for his impending job loss, whenever they bumped into each other, Xia Chengzu would glare at her severely before storming off.

Xia Chuyi couldn’t be bothered with him.

A few days later, apparently having exhausted all his connections, Xia Chengzu stopped going to the city.

She thought she wouldn’t see him in the mornings anymore, but to her surprise, Xia Chengzu specifically started to appear on her jogging route, standing at a distance watching her pass by, cursing indirectly with filth in his words.

“Xia Chengzu, what are you saying?” One day she encountered him again, and Xia Chuyi decided not to tolerate it anymore, stopping and asking him coldly.

“What am I saying? What can I say? I didn’t say anything!” Xia Chengzu was a coward at heart. Seeing that she was serious, he immediately backed down.

Then, as she walked away, she could hear him cursing again.

Hehe, Xia Chuyi was almost amused into laughter.

She didn’t feel like running anymore, went home, spoke to Uncle Xia, and the next day, she went to the county town.

She found her way to Mr. Zhang’s home, where Lin Aiyun greeted her with great enthusiasm.

“Oh my, Chuyi, dear, you’re here!” Lin Aiyun took her hand, “Let me tell you, that liquor of yours, the taste is simply to die for.”

“My husband took it to give as a gift, and people actually thought it was foreign liquor!”

Lin Aiyun chuckled, her eyes gleaming, “Dear, do you still have that liquor at your relative’s place? If so, how about selling a couple of bottles to me? Here’s the price I’m offering.”

Xia Chuyi glanced at the numbers Lin Aiyun was suggesting, they were indeed not low.

“Doesn’t your relative have connections to get this special supply? If possible, it would be best if we could make this a long-term business!” Lin Aiyun added with hopeful eyes.

A long-term business?

Xia Chuyi inwardly found it amusing.

Her space didn’t have two bottles of that liquor left to conduct long-term business.

Besides, even if it did, she wouldn’t dare.

This was futuristic liquor, and if someone decided to keep it as a collectible, and it resurfaced in the future, she wouldn’t be able to explain it.
