Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: The thought of being fated not to be with the one she loves caused her unbearable heartache.

Watching the two of them part, her eyes brimmed with jealousy and hatred. Why was it that she wasn’t the child of the Ye Family?

She had spent last night thinking about the recent events and had hardly slept a wink.

Before, even with her identity as a Ye Family member, she hadn’t been considered worthy of the family background of the man she liked. Now that she had lost even her status as a Ye Family member, such a family seemed even more out of reach.

Thinking of being fated never to be with the man she fancied, her heart ached unbearably.

She hadn’t considered making a phone call to Beijing, but she lacked the courage, afraid that the Ye Family would say something cruel. Therefore, as long as there were no calls from Beijing, she would pretend she was unaware of the situation.

Without a hint of self-reflection, her heart grew even darker. Since she couldn’t be with the man she loved, she might as well pursue the greatest personal gain.

Since she couldn’t return to Beijing, having them accompany her here wouldn’t be a loss.

She turned and walked back, constantly plotting in her mind how to bring Ye Wenhui over.

Yunyi had not been back long when she heard someone knocking at the courtyard door. Just from the rhythm of the knock, she knew it was Huo Jingrui.

She took a few steps out to open the main door. ”You’re back.”

Huo Jingrui’s eyes were heavily shadowed, clearly showing he had not slept all night.

Last night, after meeting his contacts and discussing their plan of action, he had returned to the small courtyard by the same route. He then left the small courtyard conspicuously, drove away from Hua’an Farm Reclamation, and hid his car in a secluded spot. Afterwards, he trekked over the mountains from Songling Village to make his arrangements. Once those were set, he crossed the mountains again to reach Songling Village, drove to the county town to coordinate with the county public security bureau, and then hurried back to the Hua’an Farm Reclamation area.

After all, they had received reliable information that the children of three city leaders had likely been taken to this area.

They must find those children quickly and ensure nothing happened to them.

Upon entering, Huo Jingrui quickly updated Yunyi on the latest developments.

After hearing the information, Yunyi consciously extended her spiritual power to check the opposite side, and sure enough, there was already someone keeping surveillance there.

She was somewhat puzzled. Why did they keep watching the clinic? Considering that even including yesterday’s pregnant woman, the clinic only had a total of five patients. Even if someone were plotting something, why would they target the clinic?

But recalling what Juanzi, the pregnant woman, had said previously, Yunyi then asked, ”Jingrui, regarding what that pregnant woman I told you about yesterday said, have you discovered anything?”

Speaking of this, Huo Jingrui’s brows furrowed deeply. ”The person who often visited Shunzi’s wife could very well be a spy, but we still need further confirmation.”

They dared not make too much noise for fear of driving the suspects to desperation.

After discussing it, they decided to rest for two hours before heading out together. After all, one had been on duty last night, and the other had been busy all night; it was best to catch some sleep first.

They had to be meticulous. From an outsider’s perspective, Huo Jingrui had just arrived at his girlfriend’s place, and Yunyi had just finished her night shift. It wouldn’t seem reasonable for them to go out immediately. This was the perfect time to catch up on rest.

Since their marriage application had already been submitted, and Yunyi was even clearer about their relationship than Huo Jingrui, she naturally wouldn’t be coy.

As for Huo Jingrui, since Yunyi had no objections, he eagerly wished to stay with her. If not for the fear of her being subjected to gossip, he would have wanted to stay over during his days off.

Without any further ado, they each took one end of the kang. After setting the alarm, they lay down on the kang, still in their clothes.

At first, Huo Jingrui was too excited to settle down, but after a while, as he watched Yunyi’s sleeping face and listened to her steady breathing, he too slowly drifted off to sleep.
