Huo Jingrui’s expression instantly grew solemn. "This matter appears to be more serious than I imagined."
Combining this with what Huo Jingrui had said earlier, Yunyi voiced her speculation, "It’s best to secretly investigate what caused today’s incident with the pregnant woman and whether there are other conspiracies afoot. We need to be fully aware of the situation."
Huo Jingrui looked at Yunyi. "Don’t worry, Chief Qiao has already gone to the county. I’ve made preparations for any eventuality. If I’m not mistaken, it’s highly likely that any strangers entering the forest farm and Hua’an Farm Reclamation these past few days are under surveillance. There must have been someone watching us from across the street just now. Fortunately, we’re engaged, so they probably won’t consider me a prime suspect."
Yunyi deliberately tilted her head, feigning a serious expression, and asked, "So, you filed the marriage report for the sake of the mission?"
Hearing this, Huo Jingrui immediately grew anxious. He pulled her closer and placed Yunyi’s hand on his chest. "Yiyi, I wish I could go and register our marriage with you right now. Can you feel it?"
Yunyi had only been teasing him, but seeing his genuine urgency, she said, "Alright, I was just asking. What are you so worried about?"
But Huo Jingrui didn’t want to let the matter drop so easily. "This isn’t something to joke about. While the mission was a factor in my application, my primary motivation was my fondness for you and my desire to marry you as soon as possible."
He added, a hint of plaintiveness in his eyes, "You mustn’t doubt my feelings for you again."
Seeing his earnestness, Yunyi conceded, "I was wrong. I won’t do it again."
When Huo Jingrui saw her admit her mistake, his face brightened with joy. "Alright, seeing as you’ve admitted your mistake with such a good attitude, I forgive you."
Yunyi noted the man’s rapid shift in mood. So, he’s playing games now, is he?
