Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 610

Seeing this, Du Weixiang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tease:

"Oh my, such a pretty and charming young girl, and you still haven't won her over?"

He Yuzhu glared at Du Weixiang and said irritably:

"Stop teasing me about this! Let me ask you about that jade pendant again. What's your decision?"

Du Weixiang pouted and replied innocently, "Oh dear, why are you bringing this up again? I already told you, I really don't remember exactly what my grandfather said back then?"

He Yuzhu stared intently at Du Weixiang and pressed her for an answer:

Are you sure you really can't remember? Don't you have even the slightest recollection?

Du Weixiang nodded helplessly and sighed:

"I really can't remember! Please stop pressuring me, okay?"

"I hereby solemnly inform you that we will travel to Hong Kong together in three days. If I successfully find him then, don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless!"

The other party's cold and threatening words struck Du Weixiang like a thunderclap.

Du Weixiang's face turned deathly pale instantly. Her eyes widened in astonishment, and her lips trembled as she asked:

"You...you really want to go? This is no joke!"

However, He Yuzhu showed no sign of backing down and responded firmly:

"How could I joke about something so important? If you two still refuse to tell the truth before we arrive in Hong Kong, I don't need to elaborate on the serious consequences, do I?"

Upon hearing this, Du Weixiang gasped, feeling a chill creep down her spine.

But she was still unwilling to give in so easily, so she mustered her courage and said:

"Please, let me see Grandpa. Maybe I can persuade him, but I really know nothing about this!"

After a moment of silence, He Yuzhu finally nodded slightly in response:

"Alright, we'll arrange for you to meet later."

After saying this, He Yuzhu spent a full hour patiently comforting and reassuring Du Weixiang, whose emotions were on the verge of collapse.

After seeing that Du Weixiang had gradually calmed down, he gently waved his hand, signaling her to leave the room first. Then, He Yuzhu turned and went into the bathroom.

Just as He Yuzhu was comfortably enjoying the relaxing feeling brought by the hot shower, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open without warning.

Caught off guard, He Yuzhu instinctively called out, "Who is it? Come in and rub my back."

He had been eagerly anticipating that Du Weixiang had finally decided to confess her feelings to him, so he didn't turn around to look. He continued to lie leisurely in the bathtub, enjoying a moment of peace and comfort.

The woman gave a soft "hmm" and then slowly walked towards him. Her steps were light and careful, as if afraid of disturbing the precious atmosphere.

As the woman drew closer, a soft, boneless hand gently rested on his shoulder and began to slowly massage it. The sensation was like a gentle breeze rippling across a lake.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Have you figured it out?" The woman's voice was soft and melodious, like the soft song of a nightingale.

However, He Yuzhu was taken aback when he heard the woman speak.

Because the voice didn't come from Du Weixiang, whom he was expecting! He frowned in confusion and slowly turned his head away.

This glance, however slight, caused his eyes to widen in astonishment. Standing before him wasn't Du Weixiang, but Yan Yingxue!

At this moment, Yan Yingxue was wearing a thin set of clothes, the fabric of which was as light and thin as gauze, vaguely revealing her graceful figure.

Her pretty face was already flushed with a shy blush, as lovely as a ripe apple.

Seeing He Yuzhu turn to look at her, Yan Yingxue lowered her head shyly, nervously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.

"How...how could it be you?" He Yuzhu stammered, clearly at a loss for words at the sight before him.

Yan Yingxue slightly raised her head, her gaze flickering as she looked at him, and said softly:

"I...I also want to be your woman."

After saying this, her face turned even redder, as if it could bleed.

"Are you really sure about this?" He Yuzhu looked at the woman in front of him calmly, seemingly not too surprised by her decision.

Whether he has one more woman or one less, it no longer matters to him. Having weathered many storms, he has become much more indifferent to matters of the heart.

In the past, the women who surrounded him came and went like a revolving lantern, but now all of that is like a passing cloud to him.

He knew all too well that no matter how many women he had, they were all just fleeting passersby in his life.

The woman standing in front of him at this moment was named Yan Yingxue.

Not long ago, she had some unpleasantness with He Yuzhu, and it could even be said that He Yuzhu owed her something.

Surprisingly, even so, Yan Yingxue remained devoted to him.

Until one day, Yan Yingxue heard about He Yuzhu's past from Du Weixiang, including his unknown side—the mysterious world of martial arts.

Upon hearing these stories, Yan Yingxue's eyes widened in surprise and curiosity.

It turns out that the He Yuzhu she knew all along was just the tip of the iceberg.

Beneath that seemingly ordinary exterior lies such profound martial arts skills and an extraordinary life in the martial arts world.

At this moment, she re-examined the man in front of her and felt that he was more and more different from others.

At the same time, Yan Yingxue is also facing a difficult situation in her life. She has been ruthlessly abandoned by her own sister and has nowhere to go home.

Just when she was at her wit's end, He Yuzhu extended a helping hand to her, not only taking her in but also giving her a temporary place to stay.

Faced with such kindness, Yan Yingxue felt she had no way to repay it.

After much deliberation, she finally made a difficult decision: since fate had brought her to He Yuzhu's side, and since he was willing to accept her, from now on, she would willingly become his woman and spend her life accompanying him and repaying him.

"Are you really not going to regret it?" He stared intently at her, as if trying to see into the deepest thoughts in her heart.

"I will never regret it!" she gritted her teeth and answered firmly. As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly turned around and gracefully stood up from the bathtub.

Yan Yingxue's shy appearance was like a blooming water lily, delicate and timid in the cool breeze. She slightly raised her eyes, quickly glanced at the man in front of her, and then, as if electrocuted, swiftly turned her head to the side, no longer daring to look directly at him.

"Oh, why are you getting shy now?"

He Yuzhu had a mischievous smile on his lips as he spoke, reaching out and gently placing his hand on the button of Yan Yingxue's coat.

With a few deft movements of his fingers, the coat fluttered to the ground like a falling leaf.

Yan Yingxue gave a coquettish sigh:

"I..." Although I had mustered up the courage to enter the bathroom, all my courage had been exhausted at this moment.

Her eyes were tightly closed, her body trembling slightly, and she had completely lost the strength to resist.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu felt a surge of tenderness. He said gently:

"Come on, baby, let's take a good bath together."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yingxue's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple. She kept her eyes tightly closed, her whole body like a puppet, completely at He Yuzhu's mercy.

As time passed, the scene of the two bathing together in the bathtub appeared particularly ambiguous.

He Yuzhu carefully wiped Yan Yingxue's skin, while Yan Yingxue sat quietly, occasionally letting out a soft moan when He Yuzhu touched her unintentionally.

Finally, their showers were over. They each wrapped themselves in a soft towel, smiled at each other, and walked out of the bathroom together.

He Yuzhu took out two bright red candles and lit them with a match. The candlelight flickered gracefully, illuminating the room with a warm and romantic glow.

Then, he elegantly picked up a bottle of fine wine and slowly poured it into two crystal-clear stemmed glasses.

"Honey, today was so rushed, we didn't have time to prepare many things, I'm so sorry to have troubled you," He Yuzhu said apologetically.

"I'm not wronged at all! I'm so happy to be your woman!" the woman replied affectionately, her eyes filled with happiness and contentment.

Time flies, and three whole days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, He Yuzhu methodically and properly handed over all the matters one by one.

When the time came to leave, he did not let his wives come to see him off. Instead, he drove his jeep alone and resolutely drove away from home.

The car sped along, arriving at a luxurious villa and an elegant small house. There, he picked up Du Weixiang and her grandfather, Du Guanghe.

As the vehicle approached the train station, it suddenly turned into a narrow and secluded alley.

After coming to a complete stop, He Yuzhu performed an astonishing feat right in front of the two of them—with a flick of his sleeve, the massive jeep vanished instantly, as if it had been taken into a mysterious space.

Witnessing this scene, Du Guanghe was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, his face filled with astonishment:

"You... what kind of amazing ability do you have? Let alone a master of the Core Formation Realm, even someone who has reached the Divine Realm could never possess such a miraculous power of a mustard seed world!"

Du Weixiang, standing to the side, was equally shocked and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Could it be that you are actually proficient in the spells mastered by those ancient Qi cultivators?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with interest:

"Oh? I didn't expect you to know about the existence of ancient Qi cultivators?"

"I do know a little about this. In ancient times, there were indeed Qi practitioners! Although the legends that have been passed down may have some exaggeration, many of them are actually true events!"

On the eve of liberation, many people skilled in martial arts went to the southern regions and eventually entered Southeast Asia via Hong Kong.

As a result, very few people like this remained in the country. This is why He Yuzhu has been unable to make any friends from the martial arts world for so long.

To this day, his experience is like playing a single-player game all by himself.

The reason he was willing to take the two of them along was not only because of the jade pendant, but also because he hoped to gain a deeper understanding of the specific situation in Southeast Asia.
