Capítulo 1294: Chapter 1293: Xiao Jingqi’s Suggestion

Personality is something shaped partly by genetics, and partly by environment.

In some ways, Xia Lianlian’s temper is exactly the same as the Xia Family’s, as the same as Mother Xia’s.

So, Xia Chuyi felt that Lian’er’s “badness” was mostly inherited.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuyi naturally thought of Lian’er’s child.

Hopefully… that child won’t turn out like his mother Lian’er, and won’t be like that bunch from the Xia Family either.

Of course, whether that child turns out well or not is not something Xia Chuyi can decide.

Right now, what Xia Chuyi is thinking about is still Lian’er herself—or rather, the people behind Lian’er—what other moves might they have?

“Mom, we’ll block soldiers with generals and cover floods with earth,” Xia Chuyi tried to comfort her mother. “Given the situation now, the only thing we can do is lie in wait for the rabbit.”

Hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, Mrs. Ou nodded and said, “That’s all we can do…”

Just then, baby Huo Shiwu opened his little mouth and began to cry softly, “wah, wah, wah.”

“Oh my precious eldest grandson, you’re awake?” Seeing this, Mrs. Ou’s attention immediately shifted. She spoke gently, “Xiao Shiwu, are you hungry, or did you pee?”

Mrs. Ou immediately went to pick up her grandson.

Huo Shiwu was very well-behaved; except when he was hungry, or had peed or pooped, he would keep his eyes closed and sleep quietly.

“Mom, Xiao Shiwu just ate not long ago, he shouldn’t be hungry. It’s probably that he peed.” Seeing Mrs. Ou asking baby Shiwu like that, Xia Chuyi said to her mother.

.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ou nodded and immediately said, “Mm, then I’ll change our Xiao Shiwu’s diaper!”

Just like that, Mrs. Ou no longer cared about the matter with Lian’er.

It was Xiao Jingqi instead who looked like she wanted to speak but held back.

“Jingqi, let’s go out and talk. Once his diaper’s changed, Shi Wu will go back to sleep; let’s not disturb him.” Xia Chuyi said that on purpose.

In truth, she wanted to avoid her own mother with Xiao Jingqi, so Mrs. Ou wouldn’t get worked up again.

Once they were outside, they heard Xiao Jingqi say, “Senior, with how things are now… how about I apply with the regiment commander and come back to be your bodyguard again?”

Hearing Xiao Jingqi’s words, Xia Chuyi was slightly stunned. “Come back to be my bodyguard again?”

“Yes.” Xiao Jingqi nodded firmly. “Just like before, I’ll keep being your bodyguard and protect your personal safety.”

“Otherwise, no one knows what Lian’er and the people behind her might do.” Xiao Jingqi voiced what was on her mind.

However, upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi thought for a moment and said, “Forget it, that won’t be necessary…”

“There’s only such a thing as a thief taking a thousand days, never a guard guarding for a thousand days.” Xia Chuyi said calmly. “If you come be my bodyguard every time there’s a stir, are you still going to carry out your missions in the army?”

Xia Chuyi shook her head lightly and said steadily, “Even though they’re in the dark and we’re in the open, this is still the Capital City, and I’m on my guard now…”

“If the people behind her really want to do something, they still won’t be able to pull it off.” Xia Chuyi spoke very calmly. “Besides, even without you, I usually take bodyguards with me when I go out.”

“But the other bodyguards aren’t as convenient as I am!” Xiao Jingqi still wanted to fight for it, widening her eyes. “I can protect you 24/7!”

Hearing that, Xia Chuyi shook her head even more and smiled. “Protect me 24 hours a day? I’m not some national treasure…”
