Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Not Because I’m Afraid You’ll Get Angry

The two found a place to sit down, and Huo Jingrui asked, "Why didn’t you call me in advance? I could have picked you up from the station." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Yunyi pouted. "I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but who knew seeing you would be this difficult."

Huo Jingrui felt somewhat guilty and raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose. Seeing this, Yunyi knew there was definitely more to the story. "Come clean, what happened?"

HОuo Jingrui glanced around and cleared his throat before speaking. "A few days ago, I went to the county government for a meeting and happened to run into Deputy County Mayor Gao. His family elders have some long-standing connections with the Huo Family, and he insisted on inviting me over to his house.

"Out of courtesy, I felt it wouldn’t be right to decline. But after just one visit, Deputy County Mayor Gao’s niece, Lian Shuzhen, started showing up every now and then, claiming the Deputy County Mayor had sent her to bring me food and drinks.

"At first, I didn’t think much of it and accepted out of consideration for our families’ connection. But then, a few days later, that girl came over again. I’m not a fool. After politely declining her kindness, I also called Deputy County Mayor Gao.

"Lian Shuzhen stopped sending meals, but she kept coming over, still invoking Deputy County Mayor Gao’s name. After the second time, I couldn’t take it anymore. I told the gatekeeper that, apart from my fiancée, no other women were to see me. That’s why you were stopped at the gate."

Yunyi looked at him with a wry smile. "I think if it were just this one girl after you, the gatekeeper probably wouldn’t have stopped me. Maybe you should think a little harder?"

Huo Jingrui reached out and took Yunyi’s hand. "I was just worried you’d be upset."

Yunyi didn’t pull her hand away. "Then tell me."

This time, Huo Jingrui was honest and spilled everything. "I’ve been setting up the house we were allocated these past few days, thinking of getting a carpenter to make that cupboard you mentioned.
