Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 969 - 973: Ours Is a Marriage Destined by Heaven

Commander Cao’s wife, Ma Xiaoyue, breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing that Camp Commander Feng’s wife’s baby was saved.

The doctor talking to her happened to be an acquaintance, so she explained everything in detail, but still asked, ”Doctor Fu, is there anything wrong?”

Doctor Fu waved his hand and said, ”No, no, Deputy Regimental Commander Huo’s wife is impressive. Given the pregnant woman’s condition earlier, even if she had been sent to the hospital, they might not have stopped the bleeding so quickly. Not to mention, if she hadn’t stopped the bleeding first before you sent anyone, it could have resulted in a double fatality.”

Ma Xiaoyue was startled by what Doctor Fu had said, ”That serious?”

Doctor Fu nodded and said, ”I’m not exaggerating. It’s indeed Deputy Commander Huo’s wife who saved her. We can’t take credit for it.”

Everyone present heard Doctor Fu’s words, and for a moment, everyone became curious about Deputy Commander Huo’s wife.

At this moment, Yunyi was proudly asking for praise in front of Huo Jingrui, ”How is it? Tasty?”

Huo Jingrui swallowed the last bite, ”Mm, Yi’er’s pastries are as delicious as ever.”

Yunyi’s face was full of pride. This guy, reborn thrice, outsiders would never imagine such a big man would have a sweet tooth.

Seeing that he liked it, Yunyi handed another piece to him, ”Last time we hosted, we only invited families you were familiar with. I was thinking since I will be living in this family compound from now on, no matter what, distant relatives aren’t as helpful as close neighbors, so I thought of visiting a few nearby families.”

Huo Jingrui naturally had no objections, ”Okay, then I’ll accompany you in a while.”

Yunyi had an expression as if saying ’you’re teachable’, ”Alright, I just bought some wax paper, you come help out, these mung bean cakes are a bit small, giving eight pieces per family, what do you think?”

Huo Jingrui nodded and said, ”I’ll follow your lead.”

The two weren’t ones to dawdle, once they finished eating, they wrapped the mung bean cakes and headed out.

They first went to the Regimental Commander’s house, who lived behind them, who was also Huo Jingrui’s direct superior: ”Commander Feng Yujun and his wife Li Laixiang have no children. However, Commander Feng’s nephew, Feng Heping, and his niece, Geng Qianqian, have grown up under their care.

Sister-in-law Li Laixiang works at the city Women’s Federation, coming home only once a month. When she doesn’t return to the family compound, the Commander stays at the military camp.

Today happens to be the day she’s back, and the Commander and I came back together, perfect to introduce you to her.”

When they arrived, the door was open. Just as Huo Jingrui was ready to speak, Commander Feng saw him, ”Wife, we were just talking about Jingrui and his wife, and here they are.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall woman appeared in their line of sight. Huo Jingrui spoke up, ”Commander, sister-in-law, I brought my wife to get acquainted.”

Li Laixiang greeted them with a smile, ”This must be Yunyi; Old Feng was just talking about you.”

Yunyi stepped forward with composure, ”Hello, sister-in-law.”

Li Laixiang looked Yunyi up and down, ”Jingrui, your wife is even prettier than the girls in the cultural troupe. You must have accumulated great virtue in your previous life to be blessed with such fortune.”

Huo Jingrui turned to look at Yunyi with a face full of affection, ”Ours is a destiny ordained by heaven, spanning three lifetimes.”

He spoke the truth, but naturally, Commander Feng and his wife thought he was joking. The couple laughed, and Li Laixiang teased, ”Didn’t expect our Deputy Commander Huo to have a tender side too.”

Yunyi knew it was rare for the couple to be together, ”Sister-in-law, I made these mung bean cakes myself and came to offer some for you to try.”
