Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 932 - 933

At this time, Xue Liangyu joined in, ”So it was you who cured Gui Kailan’s illness?”

Yunyi smiled and nodded, ”It was just luck.”

Xue Liangyu waved his hand, ”Her illness has been untreated for years, with both Western and Chinese medicine tried. I didn’t expect it was you who helped cure it, truly remarkable.”

Each of them spoke like this, making Yunyi feel a bit shy.

Huo Jingrui, not wanting it to be obvious to them, quickly spoke up, ”Alright, as long as you all know, let’s stop with the compliments, or my wife will get embarrassed.”

There’s nothing a meal can’t bring closer.

By the time they left, Yunyi’s relationship with them was already very close, even Gao Rongrong, who was usually hard to converse with, hadn’t said anything discouraging.

As they left the private restaurant, everyone exchanged a few pleasantries before going their separate ways.

Yunyi supported Huo Jingrui, ”Are you alright?”

Huo Jingrui saw everyone walk away, then changed from his previously drunk demeanor, ”With the hangover pill you gave me, how could I be anything but fine?”

Yunyi reached out wanting to pinch him, but unfortunately, he wore too many clothes, so she was busy in vain, ”So now, are we going home or somewhere else?”

Huo Jingrui used his wide sleeve as cover and held Yunyi’s hand, ”Tonight we’re meeting at the state-run restaurant near the compound, let’s rest at home and go there just in time.”

Yunyi nodded, ”Let’s take a trip to the department store along the way to buy some candies.”

Huo Jingrui made a face that whatever the wife says goes, causing Yunyi to burst into laughter.

Over time, she became a bit dazed, the memories of past lives seemed to drift further away, and the daily essentials of this life are what she truly desired.

Returning to the Huo Family house, they heard the sound of a child crying from inside before even entering the yard.

The two exchanged glances and quickly walked indoors.

They didn’t expect Zhang Xiaomei to be so principled, once she said something, she was determined to stick to it, not cutting corners.

Seeing them return, Zhang Xiaomei gestured with her eyebrows and eyes, ”Fourth Brother Huo, Fourth Sister-in-law, you’re back.”

Yunyi looked at the child whose crying had subsided slightly since they entered, ”What’s going on?”

Zhang Xiaomei picked up the child, ”He ran too fast and fell, and I should be taking them back now. This little one must be tired, I’ll take him back to sleep.”

Yunyi quickly grabbed a handful of candies from her pocket and stuffed them into the child’s pants pocket, ”Take these candies home to eat.”

Zhang Xiaomei did not refuse and thanked them before taking the two children away.

Huo Jiayuan watched Zhang Xiaomei leave with the two nephews, then she sat down on the sofa, ”My goodness, I never thought Grandpa Zhang’s grandsons could be such troublemakers, but at least they’ve left.”

Yunyi cautiously asked, ”How long were they here that made you so tired?”

Huo Jiayuan pouted in annoyance, ”Just after you all left, they arrived, and said today the Zhang Family went out to handle things, so no one would be back for lunch. Thinking that it’d be inconvenient for her to cook lunch with the two kids, I decided to keep her here for lunch.

But I never thought the two little guys would never stop, if it weren’t for Brother Lu San, we’d be fumbling around, let alone having lunch.”

She didn’t find anything strange about it, whereas Lu Licheng, who came out after tidying up the kitchen, looked at Huo Jingrui for a long time before leisurely speaking, ”You really have good luck, you leave they arrive, you return for a rest, they leave as well, what a coincidence.”

Luckily, Yunyi stayed calm, or else it would’ve been exposed.

Even though it wasn’t made obvious, she believed Lu Licheng had seen through Huo Jingrui’s plan.

Huo Jingrui at least had some conscience, ”We’re heading upstairs to rest, feel free.”

Lu Licheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, having been disrupted all morning by those three, not even managing to hold hands, and was only able to stay in Beijing for two days this time, how could he not be upset.

But what can he do if he likes his sister, which is his future brother-in-law, what else can he say?

Huo Jiayuan saw Lu Licheng’s awkward expression, ”What are you thinking about?”

Lu Licheng heard the inquiry and quickly snapped out of his thoughts, ”Thinking about where we should go to play this afternoon?”

Huo Jiayuan raised her head to look at him, ”Didn’t we agree to stay at home today?”

Lu Licheng flicked her nose tip, ”I’m afraid your Fourth Brother will disrupt the afternoon again.”

Huo Jiayuan paused, ”What did you say?”

Lu Licheng saw her expression didn’t quite register and was about to say something but then heard Huo Jiayuan say, ”You mean Xiaomei bringing her nephews over today wasn’t a coincidence, but my Fourth Brother specifically arranged it?”

Lu Licheng showed a relieved expression, ”Not bad, not completely clueless.”

Huo Jiayuan heard this, picked up a cushion from beside the seat, and tossed it over.

Huo Jiayuan pouted in annoyance, ”Just after you all left, they arrived, and mentioned today the Zhang Family went out to handle things, no one would return for lunch. Thinking it’d be inconvenient for her to cook lunch with two kids, I decided to let them stay for lunch.

But I never thought the two little imps would be so active, if it weren’t for Brother Lu San, we’d be lost, let alone having lunch.”

She didn’t consider anything wrong about it, whereas Lu Licheng, coming out after tidying the kitchen, stared at Huo Jingrui for ages before leisurely saying, ”You indeed have good fortune, you leave they arrive, you return to rest, they leave too, what a coincidence.”

Luckily, Yunyi kept steady, or else the cover would be blown.

Even though it wasn’t unveiled, she was sure Lu Licheng saw through Huo Jingrui’s ruse.

Huo Jingrui, after all, still had some sense, ”We’ll head upstairs to rest, feel free.”

At last, Lu Licheng exhaled, having his morning disrupted by the aunt and nephews, unable even to hold a hand, while he’s only able to stay in Beijing for two days, how could he not be irked.

But who can blame him for liking the sister, which is his future brother-in-law, what else could he say?

Huo Jiayuan noticed Lu Licheng looking awkward, ”What are you pondering?”

Lu Licheng heard the question and swiftly snapped out of it, ”Thinking of where to go this afternoon for fun?”

Huo Jiayuan lifted her gaze at him, ”Didn’t we agree to stay home today?”

Lu Licheng flicked her nose tip, ”I’m worried your Fourth Brother will mess things up again this afternoon.”

Huo Jiayuan froze momentarily, ”What did you say?”

Lu Licheng perceived her look as unresponsive and was about to speak but then heard Huo Jiayuan say, ”Are you suggesting Xiaomei’s visit with her nephews today wasn’t coincidental, but specifically arranged by my Fourth Brother?”

Lu Licheng had a relieved expression, ”Not bad, not entirely clueless.”

Huo Jiayuan, hearing this, picked up a cushion from beside the seat and chucked it over.
