Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Advice

He Yikui didn’t want others to laugh at him, but his daughter’s behavior today really infuriated him. He gritted his teeth and said, ”Fine, we’ll do it your way, and from now on, you have nothing to do with this family.”

Bai Juhua got anxious and gave the man a nudge: ”What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be no relationship?”

This girl will be old enough to get married in a few years, surely she can’t be raised for nothing.

But seeing the man’s red eyes, she didn’t dare say more, thinking that since He Xiaomiao’s marriage is still a few years away, she could take things slowly.

In any case, He Xiaomiao shouldn’t think she could escape from her grasp.

Meanwhile, back in their room, Huo Jingrui took out the breakfast he’d brought.

Yunyi, smelling the aroma, looked up and asked, ”Lotus leaf congee?”

Huo Jingrui teased, ”With a sense of smell like yours, being a doctor here is really a waste of talent.”

Yunyi finished washing and sat down: ”Then tell me, in which field am I not wasting my talent?”

After saying this, she gave Huo Jingrui a ’this is how confident I am’ look.

She took a spoon and started eating.

Huo Jingrui, always attentive, not only brought buns but also went to the kitchen to get a small dish of pickles: ”The congee is still a bit hot, have some buns first.”

Yunyi accepted the bun Huo Jingrui handed over: ”Where did you get the lotus leaves?”

Huo Jingrui also served himself a small bowl of lotus leaf congee: ”Didn’t you say a few days ago you wanted lotus leaf congee? I saw my mom had stored some dried lotus leaves at home, so I asked her to send some over.”

Yunyi pursed her lips: ”Doesn’t your mom think I’m being troublesome?”

She gave him a glance before casually saying, ”You forgot there are some growing in the pond in my space, you’re really going out of your way.”

Huo Jingrui was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered: ”It’s fine, it wasn’t just for the lotus leaves. I also asked for a few pieces of fabric suitable for making dresses to be sent over.”

Yunyi didn’t know what to say, well, whatever, it’s up to him.

After all, it was a gesture of kindness from him. She had just mentioned it casually, not expecting he would take it to heart.

After eating, Huo Jingrui went to wash the dishes. Yunyi tidied herself up, and they both left the Tubular Building together.

Unexpectedly, not far downstairs, they ran into He Xiaomiao.

It was obvious she was waiting there on purpose: ”You were waiting for me?”

He Xiaomiao stole a glance at Huo Jingrui and nodded: ”Doctor Chu, thank you.”

Saying this, she directly bowed to Yunyi.

She stood up and was ready to leave.

Thinking of what the neighbors had said before, and the resuming college entrance examination in the second half of the year: ”Wait a minute.”

He Xiaomiao stopped the foot she was about to lift and looked at Yunyi with some confusion.

Yunyi gave a light cough: ”I heard from those neighbors that you always score at the top in your studies. I hope you don’t neglect your books, what you learn is yours, and no one can take it away.”

He Xiaomiao’s eyes flashed upon hearing this: ”Doctor Chu, to be honest, I’ve almost finished learning the high school curriculum. I was planning that if my stepmother wouldn’t let me continue studying, I would find a way to take the exams to get a high school diploma, but I didn’t expect them to send me to the countryside directly.”

Yunyi was impressed upon hearing this: ”That’s good, remember, opportunities are for those who are prepared.”

Having said that, she turned to Huo Jingrui: ”Let’s go, or we’ll be late.”

He Xiaomiao watched them until their backs disappeared around the corner before turning her gaze away, pondering over Yunyi’s words.

Thinking that after moving to the countryside, her residential registration would also be transferred with her, she felt a bit relieved that in the future, her biological father and stepmother would have to consider whether she was willing or not before they could interfere with her.
