Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 441: Chapter 441 Alright, you get out of breath just from me saying you’re fat

Huo Jingrui turned around and embraced Yunyi. ”Please pay extra attention to the clinic over there. Of course,” he added, ”if you happen to encounter any danger, you must ensure your own safety first.”

Yunyi nodded gently in his arms. ”Okay.”

Hearing her assurance, Huo Jingrui kissed her on the forehead before letting her go. ”I’m leaving now.”

Yunyi watched him and nodded. ”Go quickly, and be sure to stay safe.”

Huo Jingrui responded with a firm ’Mhm,’ then turned and walked quickly towards the exit.

Yunyi remained at home, keeping an eye on the situation at the clinic and across from it, her heart filled with concern for Huo Jingrui.

The person she worried about was now on the mountain with the comrades from the city’s Public Security Bureau. Given the increasingly complicated situation, they needed to make more comprehensive plans before taking action.

The comrades who went out for reconnaissance were returning successively.

However, the local security team’s investigative capabilities were insufficient. Moreover, these new faces were not suitable to appear within the Agricultural Reclamation Group.

At that moment, everyone fell into a quandary.

Huo Jingrui sighed deeply to himself. ”I’ll go,” he said.

Everyone turned their gaze toward him. The city Public Security Bureau staff were unclear on the situation, so Huo Jingrui explained, ”My fiancée works at the Hua’an Farm Reclamation Clinic. The reason I was able to discover that information was by using her name as a pretext to move around the Agricultural Reclamation Group.”

Tang Haiyang frowned. ”We can’t let her take this risk just because she’s your fiancée. What if something happens...”

Huo Jingrui naturally didn’t want Yunyi to take this risk either. However, with the situation at a stalemate, this was the best solution. After all, the longer they delayed, the more dangerous it would be for the children.

Moreover, it was very likely their arrival had already alarmed the spies hidden within the Agricultural Reclamation Group. The longer the delay, the less control they might have over the situation.

Tang Haiyang looked down at Hua’an Farm Reclamation, his face troubled.

Huo Jingrui spoke up, ”Deputy Director Tang, my fiancée comes from a veteran family and has some fighting skills. She also participated in the clearance operation up in the mountains before.”

Tang Haiyang’s eyes widened in surprise. ”Are you talking about Chu Yunyi?”

Huo Jingrui nodded. ”Yes.”

Tang Haiyang began to size up Huo Jingrui. ”You’re quite something, lad. You’ve only known her for such a short time, and you’ve already brought her into your fold?”

A smile tugged at the corner of Huo Jingrui’s mouth. ”Our marriage is ordained by heaven; we fell in love at first sight.”

Tang Haiyang hadn’t expected the normally serious Huo Family’s fourth son to show such a side. It seemed he had indeed fallen in love. ”Alright, enough boasting,” he said. ”Since it’s Chu Yunyi, I can be somewhat relieved.”

Getting back to business, Huo Jingrui’s expression once again became serious. ”I’m heading down the mountain now,” he said.

Tang Haiyang clapped Huo Jingrui on the shoulder. ”Be sure to stay safe and protect Chu Yunyi well.”

Huo Jingrui nodded, saluted, and then ran down the mountain.

He still took the foothill path back to the Agricultural Reclamation Group headquarters, emerging openly from there and heading straight to the small courtyard where Yunyi lived.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was just Huo Jingrui leaving after a chat with Qiao Shaoguo at the headquarters, on his way back for lunch at Yunyi’s place.

Yunyi had no appetite to cook lunch. But they might have to spring into action at any moment, and if she didn’t eat, where would she find the strength to help Huo Jingrui? So, she took out some previously braised meat from her storage space, sliced a plateful, and stir-fried some shredded potatoes with vinegar.

She planned to eat this with the leftover steamed buns from the pot for lunch. Just as she was about to start eating, she heard some noise at the courtyard gate.

Looking outside, she saw Huo Jingrui walking in.
