Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 512: Chapter 512: How Are You Here?

Wei Hongyan’s face flushed with embarrassment upon hearing Yunyi’s words. She knew Yunyi was right. The Ding Family wanted the wedding before the New Year, while her own parents wished for her to celebrate one more New Year at home. Regardless of whether the wedding was before or after the New Year, Yunyi couldn’t possibly take time off. ”It’s really a pity that you can’t attend,” Wei Hongyan said.

Yunyi smiled, ”Don’t worry, even if I’m not there, my blessings will be.”

Wei Hongyan thought it was about a wedding gift. ”If I don’t see you, are you saying you want to make me pine for you with some keepsake?”

Yunyi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. ”Listen to you—if your significant other heard that, he’d definitely get the wrong idea.”

Wei Hongyan realized what she’d said and tried to tickle Yunyi, but refrained when she saw Yunyi holding a bowl of glutinous rice balls.

Only then did Yunyi clarify, ”Once you’ve set a date, remember to write and let me know. I’ll call to send my best wishes.”

Wei Hongyan, deeply moved, said with a nasal tone, ”Oh gosh, as long as I know you care, there’s no need to waste the money.”

Yunyi didn’t argue with her about this point but changed the topic instead.

Since Wei Hongyan had to work the next day, Wei Hongjun checked the time and urged them to wrap things up. ”Hongyan, it’s getting late, and Yunyi has had a busy day; she should rest. You have work tomorrow; it’s time to go back.”

Wei Hongyan pouted and said, somewhat displeased, ”Hmph, you’re just sleepy and want to go to bed, that’s why you’re rushing me, right?”

Wei Hongjun playfully smacked his sister on the head. ”You little rascal, ungrateful as ever, now laying the blame on me.”

Cheng Lanlan stood at their room’s doorstep. ”You have an early shift tomorrow. You should let your brother take you home to rest. If it gets any later, you’ll struggle to get out of bed in the morning.”

Wei Hongyan knew her brother and sister-in-law meant well. ”I know, sis, I’m heading back now.”

After saying goodbye to Yunyi, the siblings bantered as they left the yard.

Cheng Lanlan called out to Yunyi, ”There’s hot water warming in the kitchen pot. Go wash up, and get some rest early.”

Although Yunyi could freshen up in her space, she still appreciated the gesture and thanked her with a smile, ”Thanks, sis.”

She fetched a basin of water to her room and washed her socks. She then poured out the dirty water and cleaned the basin. After returning to her room, she secured the doors and windows, turned off the lights, and entered her space.

First, she practiced her martial arts for a while. She then inspected the crops in her space, noting the good growth of the recently planted herbs. After picking some fruit, she went for a hot spring soak.

After relieving the day’s fatigue and preparing the gifts to bring to the Huo Family for the next evening, she left the space.

Before leaving, she had promised her master that she would find time to visit the Yuan Family. She hadn’t managed to find the time yet, and from what her master hinted, it was likely that someone else had taken over the Yuan Family house by now. No matter what the situation, she needed to make a trip there.

It isn’t convenient to visit the place during the day, so I’ll have to go at night.

I don’t know what time I’ll get back from the Huo Family tomorrow evening, so it would be better to go tonight.

What she didn’t expect was that as she changed clothes and stepped out of the alley, she saw Huo Jingrui standing there, leaning against the car door, smoking.

The moment Yun Yiyi appeared, Huo Jingrui turned his head, and they both spoke simultaneously.

”Yi’er?”

”Jingrui?”

Huo Jingrui extinguished the cigarette in his hand and walked towards Yunyi. ”What are you doing out so late? Where are you going?”

Yunyi also asked, ”What are you doing here so late?”

Both of them laughed at the same time.

Considering the cold outside, Huo Jingrui pulled her into the car. ”So, where are you headed?”
