Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1022: Chapter 1026: I Understand, As Long As You’re Safe

Yuan Zining heard this and immediately tapped his own forehead: ”Oh, how did I forget the matters Beautiful Grandma told me about.”

With that, he jogged forward: ”Uncle, take good care of my Master Aunt, I’ll go ahead.”

Watching him run off, Huo Jingrui tightened his grip on Yunyi’s hand: ”Yi’er, I’m sorry. I promised to take good care of you, but then had to leave so suddenly for a mission. You’ve had a hard time lately.”

He wanted to say more, but given they were outside and people occasionally passed by, certain things were just inconvenient to say.

Yunyi gently shook her head and said, ”The baby is good, just a bit worried about you.”

Huo Jingrui tightened his grip on Yunyi’s hand: ”Yi’er...”

But Yunyi didn’t let him continue: ”I understand everything. As long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters.”

Just as they turned into their row, they saw Jiang Jingya already waiting at the courtyard gate.

Yunyi couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion, realizing that Jiang Jingya, her mother-in-law, had been putting up a strong front to comfort her, while internally she must have been deeply worried about her only son.

Hearing the news of her son’s return, Jiang Jingya wisely didn’t rush over immediately, instead waiting here, looking forward eagerly. To have such a mother-in-law, Yunyi felt truly fortunate.

Seeing them come back, Jiang Jingya looked up and down at her son: ”All right, all right, hurry inside.”

With that, she noticed her son’s hair was frozen into strands: ”Don’t think just because you’re young you can neglect your health.”

Huo Jingrui could have easily used Inner Strength to dry his hair, but in his rush, he forgot, and he never really sweats the small stuff: ”Mom, I will pay attention in the future.”

While walking forward, Jiang Jingya said, ”You are not alone now, Yiyi is still pregnant. Even if you don’t think of others, you should think of them, mother and child.”

Huo Jingrui is not the kind of person who doesn’t appreciate things: ”Mom, you’re right.”

Jiang Jingya didn’t want to be annoying: ”Alright, I won’t say more, to avoid you thinking I’m nagging. You lucked out, tonight there are many good dishes prepared, you can enjoy a feast and replenish yourself.”

During this period, Huo Jingrui had been out in the wind eating and sleeping, not having had a warm meal for a long time.

Jiang Jingya said to Su Yuemei who was bringing dishes: ”Yuemei, this is my son Jingrui, just returned from a mission.”

The two nodded at each other as a greeting.

Dinner was quite sumptuous: Steamed Beef with Rice Flour, Chestnut Stewed Chicken, Fish with Pickled Vegetables, Stir-fried Shredded Vegetables, Homemade Tofu, Steamed Two-Grain Rice, and Egg Soup.

Jiang Jingya, feeling sorry for her son, kept using public chopsticks to serve dishes to the young couple, and also took care of Yuan Zining, occasionally urging Su Yuemei not to be shy.

Yunyi saw her mother-in-law like this and quickly said: ”Mom, don’t just focus on us, you need to eat too.”

Jiang Jingya smiled happily: ”Oh, alright.”

Originally planning to stay with her daughter-in-law for a few days, she didn’t expect her son to return today: ”Yiyi, since Jingrui is back, I’ll stay one night and go back tomorrow.”

”Mom, didn’t you already request time off?”

”It’s the end of the year, and the performance tasks are heavy. Mom should go back to work, save the leave. When you give birth, Mom can take care of you during your confinement.”

At this point, she explained: ”Mom can’t cook, but can help take care of the baby.”

Yunyi smiled and said: ”It’s a deal then.”

Jiang Jingya originally intended to let Su Yuemei stay on, but Huo Jingrui declined: ”Mom, I’m back. I can take good care of Yiyi.”

Since her son disagreed, Jiang Jingya didn’t insist: ”Then, Yuemei, you come with me back to Beijing tomorrow. Don’t worry, the Geng Family will help arrange it.”
