Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 756: Chapter 756: Did They Brainwash You?

Huo Jingrui had quite good hearing, and when he heard Qi Guoqing talking to his mother, he thought: This Qi Guoqing isn’t too muddled after all; if he let his mother continue like this, one day she might really have to pack up and leave.

When he returned to the living room, Huo Jiayuan tactfully found an excuse to return to her room.

Huo Jingrui directly pulled Yunyi, who was sitting on the sofa, to his side: ”Yi’er, check how many tables you need to prepare for your side. I’ll start arranging them in the next few days.”

Yunyi leaned in Huo Jingrui’s arms: ”At most, two tables on my side, just inviting the few people who we got along well with back in Songling Village and Hua’an Farm Reclamation. Forget about the others; after all, if you invite them, they’ll have to spend money, and besides, it’s better if we keep things low-key.”

It’s not the time to be extravagant, so a grand wedding banquet wasn’t possible. On this point, Huo Jingrui felt he owed Yunyi a bit, especially considering that even in Bei Mo during challenging times, their wedding was still a lively affair. Now, they had the means but couldn’t have a grand celebration.

Yunyi knew what he was thinking and patted him: ”You know, I don’t care about those things. We’re already very lucky to find each other in this vast crowd.”

Huo Jingrui held her even tighter: ”Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Thinking about his previous visit to Beijing to see the Ye Family: ”Yi’er, the people from the Ye Family were quite nice. When we return, try to connect with them more.”

Yunyi looked up at him: ”What, just one meeting, and they’ve brainwashed you?”

Huo Jingrui smiled and kissed her forehead: ”They showed me around the room they saved for you. It’s clear that the room is cleaned daily. The day I visited, Auntie was airing your quilt, and I happened to see your wardrobe open. Inside, there was a brand-new wool coat from this year.

The color is different from the one they sent you, so they must have prepared it for you in advance, just in case you need it when you return to Beijing. From this gesture, it’s apparent they really care about you.”

Yunyi didn’t speak for a long time.

Huo Jingrui didn’t rush her, just quietly waited for her reaction.

After a while, Yunyi finally spoke: ”I know, the things that happened back then weren’t their fault. When I return to Beijing, I’ll try to get along with them.”

The two of them exchanged loving glances for a while before Yunyi thought of the pears in the space: ”Jingrui, find some time later, and come with me into the space. Let’s make some pear syrup so that when they visit, they can take some back.”

Huo Jingrui nodded lightly: ”Tomorrow night then.”

They talked for a little longer, and seeing it was getting late, Huo Jingrui got up to escort Yunyi back to the Tubular Building: ”I wish time would go faster so that once we get our marriage certificate and hold the banquet, we won’t have to be apart anymore.”

Yunyi glanced at him coyly and felt sorry for him for a minute in her heart.

She had seen him washing his underpants early in the morning, yet he always restrained himself, which moved Yunyi greatly.

After all, he wasn’t an innocent young man.

Maybe Qi Guoqing’s warning worked because, in the following days, Granny Qi was much quieter, not gossiping around and just watching the kids in her yard.

After finishing her tasks today, Yunyi also took leave from the hospital.

In the afternoon, the Huo and Ye families were arriving, and she and Jingrui had to pick them up.

Huo Jiayuan, seeing her come in, said: ”Fourth Sister-in-law, come quickly and eat. My brother will be back soon, and then you have to go. Otherwise, you won’t make it in time to pick them up.”

Yunyi didn’t stand on ceremony: ”Alright, I’ll wash my hands and come.”

She and Huo Jingrui had already agreed, after eating, to quickly run outside the apartment complex.
