Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1049 - 1053: Discovering a New Situation

The car came to a steady halt, and Guo Caicai said incredulously, "You all, you really have gone too far."

Huo Jingrui definitely couldn’t let Commander Wei handle it, since the issue started because of him: "Mr. Guo, please watch your words. You’re not the only one here. Aren’t the excessive measures you mentioned referring to yourself?"

Guo Caicai heard this, and it made her angrier, her face turning white. But she didn’t want to stay in the car any longer, so she angrily pushed open the car door and got out, slamming the door hard. "Who wants to sit in this lousy car anyway."

Her actions immediately annoyed the driver, "Benefiting while complaining. What kind of person is this?"

With Guo Caicai gone from the car, the atmosphere instantly improved.

Commander Wei glanced backward, seeing Huo Jingrui carefully protecting his wife, thinking: Youth is great.

He found a topic to talk about: "Sister-in-law, I heard you’re going to university after the New Year?"

The road was really bumpy, so Yunyi had to lean against Huo Jingrui. "Yes."

"What major is sister-in-law studying?"

"Clinical medicine."

The young soldier driving in front heard Yunyi was studying medicine and chimed in, "Then when sister-in-law graduates she could work at our Military District Hospital, and you two can be together there."

Huo Jingrui’s lips curved into a smile when he heard this: "You’re quite good with words, kid."

Yunyi did not object: "I study medicine partially because I’m interested in it, and partially because of my Jingrui."

When she said this, Huo Jingrui tightened his grip on her hand.

Sitting in the front, Commander Wei looked envious: "You’re really lucky, kid, makes others envious."

Huo Jingrui replied with a mischievous smile, "Later, I’ll have a good chat with sister-in-law."

Commander Wei quickly pleaded: "Spare me, you’re just looking to embarrass me."

Laughing and chatting, they arrived in the city, and the driver dropped them off at the designated spot by Huo Jingrui before leaving.

Huo Jingrui took Yunyi to the Department Store first, selecting for her a pair of fur-lined leather shoes: "This winter is especially cold. You can’t stand the cold now, and the soles are anti-slip."

Knowing he was worried about her, Yunyi tried them on and found they fit: "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

The two then bought some necessary items and prepared to head home, but as they walked out, Yunyi sensed someone watching them from the shadows.

Huo Jingrui naturally noticed it too, and after exchanging a glance, the couple walked out as if nothing had happened.

As they walked on, Yunyi released her spiritual power, and upon seeing the person, she realized she didn’t recognize them. She lowered her voice and said to Huo Jingrui, "It’s a girl in her twenties, not too striking, with a mole above her left brow."

Based on Yunyi’s description, Huo Jingrui immediately thought of who it was: "Yi’er, help me check if she has any accomplices around."

Yunyi scanned the floor: "I didn’t find anyone unusual, but that woman is heading to the office upstairs now."

Huo Jingrui had received a report earlier that this woman often stayed at the Department Store, and now it seems it’s not so simple; there might be accomplices in the store.

Although Yunyi didn’t know who the woman was, judging by Huo Jingrui’s expression, she could discern that this person was likely related to Yu Liqin.

It must be said, their chemistry as a couple over many lifetimes had reached a perfected stage—one look or one action, and they understood each other’s meaning.
