Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 430: After Chapter 430, you can’t question my feelings for you anymore.

Huo Jingrui’s expression instantly grew solemn. ”This matter appears to be more serious than I imagined.”

Combining this with what Huo Jingrui had said earlier, Yunyi voiced her speculation, ”It’s best to secretly investigate what caused today’s incident with the pregnant woman and whether there are other conspiracies afoot. We need to be fully aware of the situation.”

Huo Jingrui looked at Yunyi. ”Don’t worry, Chief Qiao has already gone to the county. I’ve made preparations for any eventuality. If I’m not mistaken, it’s highly likely that any strangers entering the forest farm and Hua’an Farm Reclamation these past few days are under surveillance. There must have been someone watching us from across the street just now. Fortunately, we’re engaged, so they probably won’t consider me a prime suspect.”

Yunyi deliberately tilted her head, feigning a serious expression, and asked, ”So, you filed the marriage report for the sake of the mission?”

Hearing this, Huo Jingrui immediately grew anxious. He pulled her closer and placed Yunyi’s hand on his chest. ”Yiyi, I wish I could go and register our marriage with you right now. Can you feel it?”

Yunyi had only been teasing him, but seeing his genuine urgency, she said, ”Alright, I was just asking. What are you so worried about?”

But Huo Jingrui didn’t want to let the matter drop so easily. ”This isn’t something to joke about. While the mission was a factor in my application, my primary motivation was my fondness for you and my desire to marry you as soon as possible.”

He added, a hint of plaintiveness in his eyes, ”You mustn’t doubt my feelings for you again.”

Seeing his earnestness, Yunyi conceded, ”I was wrong. I won’t do it again.”

When Huo Jingrui saw her admit her mistake, his face brightened with joy. ”Alright, seeing as you’ve admitted your mistake with such a good attitude, I forgive you.”

Yunyi noted the man’s rapid shift in mood. So, he’s playing games now, is he?

Because they were waiting for Chief Qiao and the personnel from the Armed Forces Department, and also to confuse anyone watching from the shadows, Huo Jingrui had Yunyi return to the clinic. He then took the ingredients Yunyi had brought out and went to the canteen, ostensibly to get a piece of tofu.

In truth, the ingredients Yunyi had provided were more than enough for them. His trip to the canteen served multiple purposes: he needed an excuse to observe if anyone was hiding there, and he also wanted to send a message to Deputy Chief Geng of the security team, instructing them to investigate the truth of the pregnant woman’s claims.

By the time Yunyi returned to the clinic, everyone was preparing to leave for the day.

Seeing Yunyi arrive, Chen Xiaojuan brought over the handover chart. ”Doctor Chu, I’ve recorded the conditions of the three patients in the back ward. Please take a look.”

Yunyi scrutinized the records carefully and signed her name, then reminded Chen Xiaojuan, ”Go home early. Be careful on the road and don’t wander off elsewhere. It hasn’t been very safe lately.”

Chen Xiaojuan didn’t overthink Yunyi’s warning. She just assumed it was about the incident at the forest farm and that Yunyi was reminding her out of concern that she might be frightened. ”Okay, I’ll head home now,” she said. ”My mother even told me this morning that my brother would meet me at the intersection.”

With that, she smiled and left.

「Meanwhile, at the Agricultural Reclamation Youth Hostel.」

Ever since Ye Wenhui had changed dormitories, Ye Wenjuan had been feeling extremely uneasy. This feeling intensified when she learned she wasn’t actually a child of the Ye Family. To make matters worse, this news hadn’t even come from the Ye family members themselves, leaving her overwhelmingly anxious. She feared the Ye Family would truly forbid her from returning and dreaded the ridicule from old acquaintances and friends for having usurped someone else’s place. With Wu Bing’s instigation, a sinister resolve took hold of her. She became determined to find some leverage against Ye Wenhui and Yunyi, intending to force them to do her bidding and speak on her behalf in the future.
