Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 442: Chapter 442 I Got You Involved Again

Yunyi hurriedly got up and pushed the door open. ”You’re back?”

Huo Jingrui quickly entered the room, his face etched with shame. ”Yiyi,” he said, ”I... I’m back, and I have to trouble you again to accompany me on an adventure.”

Yunyi wasn’t surprised; after all, he had already been honest about his intentions.

She gently pushed him towards a chair. He had eaten dinner after ten, and it was now nearly one in the morning. ”Sit down first,” she told him. ”I’ll go get you a pair of chopsticks.”

In the kitchen, she quickly took a few sugar triangles from her storage space and prepared to serve Huo Jingrui the leftover porridge from the pot.

At that moment, Huo Jingrui followed her in.

Yunyi was inwardly glad she had taken the sugar triangles out just in time. ”Take these back to the room; we can talk while we eat.”

Huo Jingrui knew Yunyi hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so he felt it wasn’t right to ask her to go out with him immediately. He obediently carried the food back to the room.

When Yunyi entered the room, he said, ”Yiyi, I’m sorry. I’ve gotten you involved again at a time like this.”

Besides, her space needed merits, and with the principle that everyone was responsible for capturing enemy spies, she had to help. ”Hurry up and eat,” she said. ”After you finish, I’ll go with you.”

She had already thought of an excuse. The young pregnant woman, Juanzi, had been discharged from the hospital late that morning. Naturally, Yunyi would go under the pretext of visiting her, as there was no better excuse. After all, she was a kind, enthusiastic, and helpful doctor...

They both quickened their pace of eating and left without even bothering to clear the bowls and chopsticks.

Huo Jingrui had just briefly told Yunyi about the children kidnapped in the city. Yunyi couldn’t help but frown. ”It seems those people have a significant plan this time?”

As they walked side by side on the path, Yunyi, who had already planned their route, deliberately took a detour to facilitate the investigation. She pretended she had lost her way and even asked people for directions to Juanzi’s home.

Yunyi was something of a celebrity at Hua’an Farm Reclamation. People saw her not only as a young doctor with impressive capabilities but also as an actress chosen by directors, recognizable from television and movies.

Since she was kindly going to visit Juanzi, a pregnant woman, of course people would give her directions.

After deliberately taking another wrong turn, they finally arrived at Xiaojuan’s home. ”Auntie, are you busy?” Yunyi called out.

When Xiaojuan’s mother-in-law, Granny Juanzi, saw it was Yunyi, she came out smiling. ”Doctor Chu, what brings you here?”

Yunyi smiled. ”My fiancé is visiting, and I wanted to show him where we filmed before. We were just passing by and asked for directions. It’s also a good opportunity to check Xiaojuan’s pulse again.”

Granny Juanzi wiped her hands on her apron. ”Ah, Doctor Chu, you’re truly a good doctor, making a special trip like this! How can we ever thank you enough?”

Yunyi didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty; after all, if it hadn’t been for her, Juanzi might have been in serious danger.

Juanzi and her mother-in-law naturally knew what had happened the day before, and they were sincerely grateful to Yunyi.

Originally, Yunyi had wanted Juanzi to stay in the hospital for a couple more days for observation. However, Juanzi, worried about the expense, felt there was nothing unusual about her health and insisted on being discharged. She even said the money saved could be used to buy her some nutritional supplements.

After Doctor Qiu helped examine Juanzi and confirmed there were no major issues, Juanzi had gone home. But Yunyi truly wasn’t at ease.

Yunyi hadn’t revealed the truth to them at the time, to avoid frightening the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. However, she had indeed intended to come over and check if those people would make another move.

Huo Jingrui didn’t follow her inside, remaining in the courtyard to wait.
