Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740: Chapter 740: I Can’t Just Secretly Run Away with You

A voice came from the office: "Come in."

Before Huo Jingrui could push the door, someone inside had already opened it: "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Huo Jingrui glanced inside, just as Xiao Yuanshan looked over.

Seeing the visitor, Xiao Yuanshan immediately stood up from behind the desk: "Brother Huo, what brings you here?"

As they got closer, he noticed Yunyi standing behind Huo Jingrui: "Ah, is this your wife?"

Huo Jingrui introduced them with a smile: "Yunyi, this is my brother Xiao, Guo Qiming’s cousin-in-law. You can call him Brother Xiao."

Yunyi nodded at Xiao Yuanshan: "Hello, Brother Xiao."

Huo Jingrui then continued with the introduction: "This is my fiancée, Chuyunyi."

Xiao Yuanshan had heard Huo Jingrui mention Yunyi before: "Hello, hello, I’ve heard Brother Huo talk about you, truly a perfect match."

As he spoke, he pointed to the adjacent room: "Come, let’s talk over here."

The office was crowded and chaotic, and the smoke-filled environment wasn’t suitable for hosting guests.

Once inside the small meeting room, Xiao Yuanshan fetched some cups from below and poured them water: "Have some water."

Huo Jingrui took the cup: "Brother Xiao, we’re here to ask for a favor."

Xiao Yuanshan laughed heartily: "Go ahead."

Huo Jingrui lowered his voice: "We want to buy some Maotai liquor. But there’s a ration and quota requirement, I wondered if you had any connections?"

Xiao Yuanshan thought for a moment: "How much do you need?"

Huo Jingrui looked at Yunyi, receiving her subtle signal, feeling somewhat embarrassed: "It depends on your situation."

Yunyi nodded slightly: "We’ve asked for help today, surely they’ll hear from Qiming later."

Huo Jingrui turned the car out of the alley: "If not for Qiming, I wouldn’t know Brother Xiao. I wanted to mention the wedding, but we’re soon moving away; meeting again may be difficult."

Yunyi instantly understood his reasoning; they’ll be leaving Zeyang County soon, and mentioning it would obligate them to give a wedding gift, which wouldn’t be appropriate.

Huo Jingrui saw she understood: "Next time we come to pick up the liquor, I’ll treat him to a nice meal."

As they chatted, the car left the town.

Huo Jingrui cleared his throat: "I plan to go back to Beijing soon."

Yunyi turned to look at him: "Is something up?"

Huo Jingrui gently said: "You’ve been acquainted with the Ye Family; I can’t just whisk you away quietly, it’s better to visit personally."
