Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant Chapter 723: This Feeling Is Pretty Nice
Sister-in-law Zhuang saw Huo Jiayuan coming out and smiled, "Your brother asked to tell you to help him deliver the trench coat with the liner. He’s going to the countryside with the technology departnt."
Lu Licheng heard this clearly from the courtyard, and understood Huo Jingrui’s intentions even better.
Huo Jiayuan was montarily dazed at Sister-in-law Zhuang’s words, thinking this was the first ti her brother had asked her to deliver sothing: "Got it, Sister-in-law Zhuang, thanks for making the trip."
Sister-in-law Zhuang glanced into the courtyard, but didn’t see anything: "No trouble at all, just a quick errand."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, she turned and went back to her own courtyard.
Lu Licheng watched Huo Jiayuan walk in: "You go get the clothes, I’ll go with you to deliver them."
Huo Jiayuan waved her hand: "No need, I can go by myself."
Lu Licheng saw she didn’t understand: "If there’s nothing else later, accompany for a walk outside."
Huo Jiayuan then realized that it wasn’t appropriate for a lone man and woman to be alone in a room for too long: "Wait a mont, I’ll go get my brother’s clothes."
Huo Jingrui saw the two coming together as soon as he ca downstairs.
He gave Lu Licheng a warning look before turning to his sister: "You don’t need to cook for at noon. I’ll co back from the countryside earlier in the afternoon. If I have ti, I’ll prepare so stuffing. Let’s make dumplings together."
Huo Jiayuan smiled at these words: "Fourth Brother, it’s Fourth Sister-in-law who wants to eat dumplings, isn’t it? Don’t deny it; I heard her tell you yesterday."
Exposed by his sister, Huo Jingrui wasn’t embarrassed: "I wanted dumplings too, it’s just a coincidence."
Seeing her Fourth Brother trying to be tough, Huo Jiayuan didn’t bother to argue: "Okay, I got it. I still have so at coupons from Fourth Sister-in-law, so we’ll have at dumplings tonight."
Thinking of sothing, she added: "Actually, let’s make two kinds. I’ll prepare so vegetarian stuffing too."
Last ti, Grandma Su made so vegetarian stuffing which Fourth Sister-in-law really liked, and she thought that in a few days, she might have to return to Beijing with her parents, and would miss Fourth Sister-in-law.
To be honest, staying here with her Fourth Brother felt more comfortable than being in Beijing; she was reluctant to leave.
But knowing her mom’s temperant, she wouldn’t be allowed to stay once Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law got married, as her mom had long wanted to hold her own grandchild.
Originally, Huo Jiayuan planned to go to the market, but Lu Licheng disagreed and took her directly to the Departnt Store. He initially intended to buy her a watch, but seeing she was already wearing one, he changed his mind: "Jiayuan, it’s getting colder day by day. You probably didn’t bring enough warm clothes when you ca here, right? Before your Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law’s wedding banquet, let take you to pick out a set of clothes."
Huo Jiayuan quickly declined: "No need. My mom sent clothes recently, and after my Fourth Brother’s wedding, I’ll likely be heading back to Beijing with my parents."
Lu Licheng took her straight to the ready-to-wear section: "No worries, just a few clothes won’t take up much space. Even if Uncle Huo doesn’t drive, there will be people to help you with the train, so it won’t be a burden."
He didn’t give Huo Jiayuan a chance to refuse, and after walking around the clothing counter, pointed to a white sweater and a light brown wool coat: "Could you please take down those two pieces for a look?"
In truth, Huo Jiayuan didn’t really need more clothes. When Brother Kairong ca to pick up Sister Kailan, her mom had already sent winter clothes over, not to ntion her Fourth Brother had recently bought clothes for Fourth Sister-in-law and included a set for her.
However, seeing Lu Licheng being so persistent, she didn’t refuse; after all, it felt quite nice.
