Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 462: Chapter 462 My Love is Only for You

Once they entered the space, Huo Jingrui couldn’t wait to ask, ”Did you know it was me from the beginning?”

Yunyi leaned into his embrace. ”Not exactly. It’s just that after I learned your name, I started paying more attention. Many of your daily habits are still the same as before. Then, when I saw that Jade Pendant, I knew my guess was correct.”

Huo Jingrui pulled her into his arms. ”Yi’er, I’m truly thankful to Heaven for allowing me to follow you here.”

Upon hearing his words, Yunyi looked up and said with a playful pout, ”It wasn’t Heaven’s favor that allowed you to follow me here. The one you should be thanking is me.”

Huo Jingrui hugged the delicate woman in his arms. ”Yes, yes, yes. I should indeed thank our Yi’er.”

Seeing he wasn’t taking her seriously, Yunyi patted his arm. ”I’m serious. I’m not joking with you.”

Huo Jingrui’s smile faded. He looked at her affectionately and asked, ”Yi’er, can you tell *your husband* all about it?”

Hearing him call himself ’your husband,’ Yunyi deliberately said, ”I’m not your wife right now. It’s too soon for you to be calling yourself that.”

Huo Jingrui saw the sly glint in her eyes. He tightened his arms around her and whispered close to her ear, ”If not my wife, whose wife do you intend to be, hmm?”

Yunyi giggled in his embrace. ”I’m not telling you.”

Huo Jingrui kissed her lips hard. ”Don’t you dare joke like that again.”

He then insisted Yunyi make a promise before finally letting her off the hook. ”Yi’er, what did you mean by what you said earlier?”

His intuition told him Yi’er had been serious. He was sure the little minx must have paid some price for him to be able to come here, and he desperately wanted to know what it was.

Yunyi hadn’t intended to hide it from him. ”I exchanged my previous portable space for a chance to continue our love in this lifetime.”

When Huo Jingrui heard the truth, he was deeply moved.

His heart was a whirlwind of emotions—he was touched, yet his heart ached for her. The little minx’s space had been such a powerful asset, and now it was gone because of him. ”I’m sorry you lost your space,” he said, ”but I’m still selfish enough to thank you for choosing me. I swear I won’t let you down.”

Yunyi threatened in a sweet voice, ”If you dare let me down, I’ll make you regret it for the rest of your life.”

Huo Jingrui released her slightly and looked earnestly into Yunyi’s eyes. ”A love connection across three lifetimes is no small feat. Though the world offers countless attractions, my heart belongs only to you.”

Yunyi stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on Huo Jingrui’s lips. ”Of course, I trust you.”

They embraced tightly, listening to each other’s heartbeats and sharing their innermost thoughts and feelings.

Just as they were lost in their affection, Yunyi heard a sound from outside the space. ”Jingrui, someone’s coming.”

Hearing this, both quickly composed themselves.

Yunyi turned and leaned back into Huo Jingrui’s arms, observing the situation outside as the person approached. ”Jingrui, it’s the man Zhong Liyuan met in the county town before.”

They exchanged a look. It seemed this man was indeed connected to the people arrested tonight. Still, these two were truly audacious, daring to make a move at such a sensitive time.

Huo Jingrui recalled the information he’d received earlier. It seemed the mastermind who had been caught had other schemes in mind.

Once the man left with the items, they had no time for further tenderness and immediately exited the space. ”Jingrui, you follow that man. I’ll go to Zhong Liyuan’s place.”

Actually, she was a little worried about the master and his grandchild in Nanbai Village. A trip to Zhong Liyuan’s place might also yield some useful information.

Huo Jingrui knew that since they’d stumbled upon this, they absolutely had to figure out this man’s movements tonight. After all, they had previously gotten information about him from the pregnant woman, Juanzi.
