Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 531

I've made up my mind not to drink today, and I can't let anything happen again while I'm drunk.

He Yuzhu didn't mind, he drank some wine and chatted with Bai Ling.

The conversation quickly turned to Qing Laosan.

"The arrest warrant for Qing Laosan has been issued. Don't worry, he will be arrested and brought to justice soon."

"sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome, it's what I should do."

He Yuzhu then asked, "Has the police at Qianmen Police Station provided any additional information?"

Bai Ling nodded and said, "We have already transferred one police officer from each of the other police stations to fill the gap."

Because of the large number of staff shortages, one person was drawn from each of the other police stations to fill the positions at the Qianmen Police Station.

He Yuzhu nodded and then asked about the handling of Qiao Yuanhong.

Bai Ling said, "The Municipal Bureau is still studying this matter; it's not something that can be resolved in a short time."

He Yuzhu also knew that on the surface, Qiao Yuanhong had no problems. He had just been transferred from the branch office to the police station, so it would be inappropriate to adjust his position again.

Bai Ling continued, "But most comrades agreed to make adjustments to his position."

"So he's going to make adjustments soon?"

Bai Ling said, "Because of his irregular personnel appointments, the three police officers still detained in the Municipal Bureau all pointed out that they received instructions from Qiao Yuanhong to investigate Xu Zhaodi."

Bai Ling then asked with a smile, "What is your relationship with this Xu Zhaodi?"

He Yuzhu said very seriously, "We're just neighbors, we grew up together, there's nothing else between us."

Bai Ling glanced at him and didn't continue the topic. Talking about it too much would only make her seem jealous.

I have seen He Yuzhu's answers and am well aware of his many deeds.

Bai Ling ate very slowly, somewhat troubled. What if He Yuzhu refused to leave after the meal?

I haven't drunk too much today, nor am I sleepy, so I can't just give in to He Yuzhu like this, can I?

That was a scene I didn't want to see.

Before she could decide, He Yuzhu urged, "Why are you eating so slowly? Is it not to your liking? Should I cook another dish?"

To be honest, calling Bai Ling's cooking skills "average" is an understatement; it's barely edible.

Bai Ling glared at him and said, "Of course it's not as good as yours! If you don't like it, you can leave!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "No, I like it. I can eat it every day."

Bai Ling snorted and ignored He Yuzhu, but she ate much faster.

After the two finished eating, He Yuzhu diligently cleaned up and took the dishes to the kitchen for washing.

When he returned and saw Bai Ling still sitting at the table, he asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you coming inside?"

Bai Ling said, "Zhu Zi, stop what you're doing and come sit down. I want to talk to you."

He Yuzhu was somewhat surprised, but he didn't want to follow her lead, saying:

"Sister Ling, I came here today to ask about Qing Laosan's situation. It's getting late, and I'm sorry to have bothered you all night, so I'll head back now."

"Ah! You're going back?" Bai Ling asked in surprise.

He Yuzhu said, "Since I've eaten here, of course I should go back."

Then he countered, "Don't you want me to leave?"

"No, I just feel it's a bit sudden."

After saying that, Bai Ling got up, took a key, and walked out, saying, "I'll go open the door for you."

The two of them came out of the house together and came to the back of the courtyard gate.

Bai Ling reached out to unlock the door, and just as she turned around, she was suddenly pulled into He Yuzhu's arms.

He Yuzhu gave her a light peck on the red lips and said with a smile, "Goodbye, Sister Ling. Don't dream about me tonight!"

Before Bai Ling could react, he opened the door and ran out in a flash.

Bai Ling covered her mouth in surprise and stomped her foot in anger, not expecting He Yuzhu to launch a surprise attack at this time.

Watching He Yuzhu leave so casually, Bai Ling cursed him as a "disgusting devil."

After returning to my room and washing up, I picked up a book as usual and spent the time by the bedside.

However, the book on the Yang family generals in my hand no longer held the same appeal as before.

I couldn't concentrate on it for a long time, and He Yuzhu's smiling face flashed before my eyes again.

Bai Ling, furious, slammed the book shut and lay down on her side to sleep.

Unbeknownst to him, He Yuzhu suddenly turned around and appeared behind him again.

She held herself in his broad, warm embrace, and he gently kissed every inch of her skin.

He Yuzhu's hands seemed to possess magic, captivating everyone who touched them, making them eager to please.

Bai Ling lost all sense of shame and only knew how to sing out her inner joy, fully cooperating with He Yuzhu's advance.

When the two were completely intertwined, inseparable, Bai Ling shivered and came to her senses.

I felt a surge of melancholy welling up from the depths of my heart.

He was breathing heavily, somewhat dazed, and blinked his eyes before realizing that he had just had a beautiful dream.

When He Yuzhu returned home, Zhao Yuezhen poured him hot water and helped him wash up.

He asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhu, why don't you smell of perfume today?"

He Yuzhu reached out and flicked him on the forehead, saying, "When have I ever smelled of perfume?"

Zhao Yuezhen pouted and said, "Don't think we don't know; sometimes there are strange fragrances."

He Yuzhu retorted angrily, "Your nose is so sensitive."

Zhao Yuezhen assured, "I have never said anything out of turn."

He Yuzhu shook his head. After washing up, Zhao Yuezhen made him some tea. As He Yuzhu drank the tea, he said:

"That third brother Qing ran away, so his biggest target for revenge should be me."

All three women nodded; the matter was quite obvious.

Qing Laosan has been a powerful figure here for decades, and he still lives a very comfortable life.

He never imagined that his power would be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

If the other party wants to retaliate, their first target will naturally be He Yuzhu, the culprit.

Xu Huizhen said:

"Yes, there's no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days. If we don't catch Qing Laosan, we'll be living in constant fear every day."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "So I have an idea, it just depends on whether you are willing to cooperate."

Xu Huizhen asked, "What?"

He Yuzhu said, "Tomorrow is Sunday. I plan to take you to the hospital for a check-up, and then we'll stroll around the streets and buy some things to see if we can get the person transferred out."

"You want me to go out with you and be used as bait?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Yes, if we can get it out, I'll just arrest him and that will put my mind at ease."

Xu Huizhen thought about it and realized that He Yuzhu could be considered a martial arts master. She had also learned some martial arts skills and emergency response methods from Zhao Yuezhen.

Although she is pregnant, she doesn't feel anything yet, and she is still quite agile, so she can handle any unexpected situation without any problems.

"Okay, let's go to the hospital tomorrow morning and buy some things. It's been a long time since we went out together."

He Yuzhu felt a little embarrassed, as he was always quite busy and rarely went out with Xu Huizhen.

He turned to Xu Huizhi and Zhao Yuezhen and said, "You two stay home and keep watch tomorrow. Don't let them take advantage of any openings."

The two women nodded and agreed.

Xu Huizhen got up to rest, and because of her pregnancy, He Yuzhu had to go to the side room.

The next morning, after breakfast and a short rest, He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen went out together.

She deliberately strolled around the nearby alleys, chatting with everyone she met, saying she was going to the hospital to check if she was pregnant again.

The neighbors all congratulated Xu Huizhen on her continued efforts to give He Yuzhu another big, healthy son.

The couple exchanged polite words and explained their plans before setting off for the hospital.

Upon arriving at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Xu Hui registered at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. After a senior doctor took her pulse, it was confirmed that Xu Hui was indeed pregnant.

As they left the doctor's office, He Yuzhu said, "I told you a long time ago that you were pregnant with your third child. Now you believe me, right?"

When Xu Huizhen was diagnosed with her pregnancy, she was all smiles, her face beaming with happiness.

She was He Yuzhu's lawfully wedded wife, and she already had a son and a daughter. Now she was pregnant with her third child, which would further solidify her position.

"Brother Zhu, where do we go next?"

He Yuzhu said, "Let's go to Wangfujing."
