Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 1064: Chapter 1168: I Don’t Want Anyone Forcing My Wife in Any Way

Yuan Zining was delighted, snuggling with Yunyi for a while before running out with the airplane model in his arms.

No need to guess; he definitely went out to show off.

Yunyi pointed to the things they brought: “Master, let Jingrui take these dishes to the kitchen in a bit. We can use them for the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight. As for the rest, you keep them for yourself and Zining to enjoy.”

Yuan Yuxun knew his little disciple was no ordinary person and understood the meaning behind her words: “Alright.”

After saying that, Yuan Yuxun asked, “What’s your plan after school starts?”

Yunyi pointed to her belly: “Everything will revolve around him.”

Yuan Yuxun had to ask: “Are you really going to continue step by step until graduation?”

Yunyi was aware of her master’s expectations and felt a bit embarrassed: “That’s what I’m planning for now.”

Yuan Yuxun sighed: “After school starts, take two half-days a week to learn from the head of each department in the hospital.”

Yunyi knew her master had her best interests at heart, so she didn’t refuse: “Understood.”

Since it was New Year’s Eve, going back too late wouldn’t be good: “Master, it’s getting late. Jingrui and I will head back first. On the third day of the New Year, we’ll come over to stay with you for a few days. Remember to have Aunt Qu make me some delicious treats.”

Yuan Yuxun chuckled and replied, “I’ll make sure you’re satisfied.”

He also knew it was Yunyi’s first year spending New Year at her in-laws and she shouldn’t get home too late: “I have some tobacco and liquor from old friends. Take them with you.”

Yunyi knew her master had quit smoking completely, and he only drank occasionally, so she didn’t refuse: “Then we’ll happily accept the offer.”

Ever since Yuan Yuxun returned to Beijing, old friends and protégés often visited, so they weren’t lacking those items.

When they got home, everyone was there except for the eldest brother’s family.

Second sister-in-law Gao Ruyi hadn’t seen Yunyi for a while. When she saw them enter, she stood up and walked over, looking Yunyi up and down for some time: “I heard from Auntie Jiang that you’re pregnant, sister-in-law?”

Although it’s usually not announced before three months, these were all family, so there was no need to hide it: “Yes.”

She could guess why her mother-in-law chose to announce it now. Partly to share the joy, and maybe also to give her an excuse to rightfully take it easy. There’s a kind of love where a mother-in-law doesn’t want to see you overexert yourself.

Gao Ruyi hooked her arm around Yunyi’s and led her to the sofa: “How are you feeling? Any pregnancy reactions?”

Hearing the question, Yunyi touched her belly, which wasn’t visibly pregnant yet: “Aside from occasional morning dry heaving, everything else is fine.”

Gao Ruyi laughed: “Looks like it’s a little one who knows to care for you.”

As they were chatting, unexpectedly, Huo Xiaoqian from the third household ran out of the room: “Auntie, I know Mommy did something wrong to you. She realizes her mistake. Can you please ask Daddy to forgive Mommy?”

As soon as she said that, the room fell silent.

Before Yunyi could speak, Huo Jingrui said with a stern face: “Who told you to say that?”

Huo Xiaoqian was only eight years old. Being questioned by her uncle with such a cold expression, she had already forgotten her mother’s instructions: “It—It was Mommy.”

Huo Gaodi had just finished washing his son’s hands and came out of the bathroom. Naturally, he heard what his daughter said: “Xiaoqian, not all mistakes can be forgiven. You shouldn’t confuse right with wrong and make things difficult for your auntie.”

Huo Xiaoqian’s eyes reddened: “But I want Mommy to come back.”

Huo Jingrui was never one to be soft-hearted. Seeing his little niece try this ploy, he said coldly: “Third Brother, I don’t want anyone pressuring my wife in any way.”
