Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1021 - 1024: You Two Have Such a Good Relationship

Huo Jingrui put on his military cap and saluted the commander: ”Commander, could I get a few more days off?”

With an eager expression that Commander Du couldn’t bear to look at, he waved his hand and said, ”Three days, no more. It’s almost New Year’s, don’t you want to go home and spend it with your family?”

Huo Jingrui had accumulated quite a bit of leave, but there was too much going on now, and he couldn’t let this kid slack off.

Huo Jingrui didn’t insist further. Some leave was better than none. After saying goodbye, he turned around and ran out.

He didn’t go home directly. Instead, he went to the office to get a change of clothes and took a bath in the bathhouse before running home.

He was afraid that the smell on him would be unbearable for his pregnant wife.

Yunyi and Yuan Zining hadn’t been at the entrance to the base for long before they saw Huo Jingrui running out.

Just as Yunyi reached Huo Jingrui, she noticed his hair was frozen: ”You took a shower?”

Huo Jingrui stepped forward and took Yunyi’s hand: ”Yi’er, I’m back.”

As he spoke, he sized up Yunyi from head to toe, seeing that she was well, he then answered her earlier question: ”Yes, I took a shower, didn’t want the smell to bother you.”

Yunyi looked disapproving: ”It’s so cold, you’re not taking care of yourself. Couldn’t you dry your hair before coming out?”

Listening to Yunyi’s nagging, Huo Jingrui suddenly laughed: ”I won’t next time. I just missed you too much and was too worried about you. I wanted to see you as soon as possible.”

Yuan Zining chimed in: ”Uncle, I’m still here, you know.”

Huo Jingrui just glanced at him: ”I see you.”

Yuan Zining pretended to complain: ”I shouldn’t have come with my aunt to be a third wheel.”

Yunyi laughed at his grumpy little expression: ”Stop being silly.”

Yuan Zining responded with: ”You guys hurt my feelings. I’m not being silly, I’m clearly sad. Can’t you tell?”

Huo Jingrui saw that if they kept teasing, the little guy would really get upset: ”Alright, don’t be angry, Uncle brought you a gift.”

Yuan Zining perked up at the mention of a gift: ”Uncle, you knew I was coming with Aunt?”

Afraid that Huo Jingrui might catch a cold, Yunyi pulled him along as they walked back, and Yuan Zining kept jogging after them, asking: ”Uncle, what gift did you bring? Let me just say, if it’s a joke, I’ll really be upset.”

His little expression directly made Yunyi and Huo Jingrui laugh.

But as they laughed, their expressions suddenly became strange, with Yunyi’s eyes turning red.

That’s right, his mischievous expression reminded them of their third son, Long Wenfeng, in Longteng Country, and Yunyi’s eyes welled up.

Huo Jingrui squeezed Yunyi’s hand, giving her strength, and their eyes both settled on Yunyi’s belly, a sight that would surely evoke envy and jealousy from others.

Qiao Ermei happened to come out from the residential area, ready to bring a meal to her husband Zhan Chunsheng: ”Deputy Regimental Commander Huo, you and your wife really have a good relationship.”

An older lady next to them teased: ”Absence makes the heart grow fonder, not to mention they’ve only been married for a short time, it’s normal to be so affectionate.”

Afraid that Yunyi would feel uncomfortable, Deputy Regimental Commander Huo quickly greeted them and left with everyone in tow.

Even though Yuan Zining was young, he noticed Yunyi’s unusual demeanor: ”Aunt, what’s wrong? Did I say something wrong to upset you?”

Yunyi patted Yuan Zining’s head: ”It’s nothing, Aunt just remembered some things, it’s not your fault.”

Yuan Zining patted his little chest: ”You gave me a scare.”

Seeing him like this, Yunyi laughed and said: ”Why don’t you quickly go and deliver the message.”
