Chapter 90: Chapter 90 The Gap Is Too Big

Elders’ thoughts are truly unpredictable!

Lifting the door curtain, Xia Chuyi stepped inside,

“Uncle, Aunt, why, do you really want to marry me off? Am I eating too much?” she deliberately pouted, complaining as she walked towards Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia.

Seeing her return, the two stopped their conversation.

“Chuyi, you’re back!” Uncle Xia smiled, poking Chuyi’s forehead with his finger, “What are you talking about, girl? Who would complain about you?”

Xia Chuyi stepped back, avoiding Uncle Xia’s “devil hand,” laughing and shaking her head, “If you don’t complain about me, just keep me for a few more years, no need to rush and find me a match.”

...

Aunt Xia and Uncle Xia were amused by her demeanor and burst into laughter.

After laughing, Aunt Xia explained, “Who is rushing to find you a match? After what happened with He Qing, your uncle is now very cautious! It’s just that Commander Huo is really exceptional.”

Mentioning Huo Shiqian, Aunt Xia’s tone was full of admiration.

Uncle Xia nodded, his face also full of praise.

Xia Chuyi felt quite speechless, “If you think Commander Huo is good, why don’t you just set me up directly with him instead of trying to match me with Soldier Xiao Wang?”

Xiao Wang wasn’t suitable, yet they had even inquired if Huo Shiqian had any suitable subordinates.

She was really curious about the elders’ mindset.

As her words ended, the room suddenly quieted down.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Chuyi blinked, confused.

Did she say something wrong?

Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia glanced at each other, looking somewhat troubled.

“Chuyi, come here, your uncle wants to ask you something.” Uncle Xia suddenly became serious, making Xia Chuyi even more baffled.

Hearing this, she stepped forward and sat next to Uncle Xia, looking at him.

“Uncle?”

What was it about, to be so serious all of a sudden.

“Chuyi!” Uncle Xia said with profound seriousness, “You haven’t fallen for Commander Huo, have you?”

Xia Chuyi choked.

“No, absolutely not!” She answered without hesitation.

It wasn’t even close to happening, her involvement with Huo Shiqian definitely couldn’t be revealed.

Uncle Xia didn’t doubt her words, nodding and saying, “That’s good, that’s good! Actually, your uncle also thinks that Commander Huo is a great person, but…”

Uncle Xia sighed, continuing, “One must know their place, Chuyi. We are just too different from him.”

Xia Chuyi: “…”

This was her uncle, the one who had cherished her the most since childhood.

Would he really disparage his own niece for Huo Shiqian?

Seeing Xia Chuyi’s bewildered face, Uncle Xia slowly explained, “Chuyi, let me have a heart-to-heart with you, your uncle is not the kind of person who expects you to climb to a high branch.”

“Commander Huo is indeed honorable, but looking at his demeanor, you know he is not a child from an ordinary family.”

“People from such families, at his age, if they aren’t married, their family surely has a match in mind.”

“Even if he doesn’t have a match, he’s not a good match.”

As Uncle Xia said these words, the genuine regret in his eyes was evident.

Xia Chuyi was even more confused. Why did they say Huo Shiqian wasn’t a good match, yet looked regretful?

Seeing her doubt, Aunt Xia intervened to explain for Uncle Xia, “Chuyi, you don’t understand your uncle’s hard feelings.”

“Your uncle fears that if you marry into such a prominent and powerful family, he won’t be able to protect you!”

Although Uncle Xia was capable and had his strengths, no matter how able, facing a family of Commander Huo’s stature, he was still incomparable.
