After eating, Huo Jingrui asked Yunyi to return to her room to pack the things she needed to bring, while he went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Because she knew early on about going with the army, her things were all packed, so she returned to her room for a quick tidy-up and brought the things she planned to take to the army down the stairs.
Huo Jingrui also finished tidying up the kitchen and came out.
There’s a direct shuttle bus from the compound to the army, and Huo Jingrui took the two bags in his hands, intending to hold Yunyi’s hand with the other, but she brushed him off: "We’ll be heading out in a while, aren’t you afraid of the gossip?"
Huo Jingrui was completely unfazed and said, "I’m holding my wife’s hand, what’s it to them?"
Though it’s different compared to a few years ago, there are always those who can’t stand seeing others happy. Yunyi wasn’t afraid of trouble, just didn’t want anyone to create drama: "Alright, I’ll let you hold it once we’re out of the compound, to avoid people gossiping and spreading it to mom and dad, making things difficult for them."
If they were to walk out of the compound holding hands, it wouldn’t take long before rumors of shamelessness or being a seductress would spread, and with her mother-in-law’s protective nature, they’d probably come knocking and retaliate.
Huo Jingrui smiled and pinched her nose: "Quickly return the fearless Yi’er to me."
Yunyi also smiled: "In previous royal systems, with your protection, even if I did something outrageous, no one dared to say anything.
But now it’s different, public opinion is fearsome, I’m not afraid, but why seek trouble when it can be avoided, that’s just foolish."
Huo Jingrui stopped smiling: "Alright, alright, I’ll listen to Yi’er."
In his past two lives, he had seen the history of Yunyi’s living space, naturally understanding her thoughts, he realized he wasn’t considerate enough.
