Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 940 - 941: Why Should It Matter to Them If I Hold My Wife’s Hand?

After eating, Huo Jingrui asked Yunyi to return to her room to pack the things she needed to bring, while he went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Because she knew early on about going with the army, her things were all packed, so she returned to her room for a quick tidy-up and brought the things she planned to take to the army down the stairs.

Huo Jingrui also finished tidying up the kitchen and came out.

There’s a direct shuttle bus from the compound to the army, and Huo Jingrui took the two bags in his hands, intending to hold Yunyi’s hand with the other, but she brushed him off: ”We’ll be heading out in a while, aren’t you afraid of the gossip?”

Huo Jingrui was completely unfazed and said, ”I’m holding my wife’s hand, what’s it to them?”

Though it’s different compared to a few years ago, there are always those who can’t stand seeing others happy. Yunyi wasn’t afraid of trouble, just didn’t want anyone to create drama: ”Alright, I’ll let you hold it once we’re out of the compound, to avoid people gossiping and spreading it to mom and dad, making things difficult for them.”

If they were to walk out of the compound holding hands, it wouldn’t take long before rumors of shamelessness or being a seductress would spread, and with her mother-in-law’s protective nature, they’d probably come knocking and retaliate.

Huo Jingrui smiled and pinched her nose: ”Quickly return the fearless Yi’er to me.”

Yunyi also smiled: ”In previous royal systems, with your protection, even if I did something outrageous, no one dared to say anything.

But now it’s different, public opinion is fearsome, I’m not afraid, but why seek trouble when it can be avoided, that’s just foolish.”

Huo Jingrui stopped smiling: ”Alright, alright, I’ll listen to Yi’er.”

In his past two lives, he had seen the history of Yunyi’s living space, naturally understanding her thoughts, he realized he wasn’t considerate enough.

They hadn’t walked far from the Huo Family when they ran into Qiao Wenyu’s mom, Zhang Meifeng: ”Jingrui, Yunyi, where are you off to?”

Following Huo Jingrui’s rank, Yunyi greeted her: ”Sister-in-law, Jingrui’s leave is over, we’re heading back to the army family quarters.”

Upon hearing they’re going back to the army, Zhang Meifeng said: ”Ah, then I won’t hold you up, the shuttle to the army departs at a fixed time, you might miss it if you’re late.”

This situation was something Yunyi wasn’t aware of, so she quickly looked up at Jingrui.

Seeing him nod in confirmation, she turned to Zhang Meifeng: ”Sister-in-law, we’ll be off then, catch you later.”

Watching Yunyi quicken her pace, Huo Jingrui reminded her: ”We’re heading over now, time is just right, no need to rush.”

Yunyi smiled at him: ”Did you time our departure perfectly?”

Huo Jingrui smiled at her: ”I’ve taken this bus countless times, naturally I timed it precisely.”

Talking and laughing, they headed towards the bus stop, and this scene was seen by Pan Huixin standing across, who was so furious she dug her nails into her skin without feeling pain: Huo Jingrui, I’ve liked you for so long, chased after you for so long, why don’t you see my worth?

Both being practitioners, they naturally felt the spiteful gaze, but neither stopped their steps.

Yunyi extended her spiritual power, wanting to see who was staring at them so openly, although she wasn’t afraid of trouble, she knew that whoever harbored such hatred towards them must be identified.

Seeing this, she just saw Pan Huixin glaring at them angrily, and in some unknown frenzy, she smashed the glass bottle she was holding onto the ground.

Just then, not far behind her, someone was driving a bullock cart, and her reckless action startled the ox, causing it to suddenly speed forward.
