Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 476

The senior leader remained calm and had He Yuzhu light the candles. At that moment, someone knocked on the door, and He Yuzhu opened it to let Secretary Wang in.

The three of them stayed in the living room. After a while, someone came and knocked on the door to inform them that it was safe, but the power lines were damaged and they would have to wait a little longer before the power was restored.

The senior leader waved for the two to leave, but He Yuzhu still jumped into the house from the balcony, where he heard Lou Xiao'e crying.

He Yuzhu said, "It's me."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly got up and threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms, crying even louder.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to hold her, gently pat her back, and coax her a couple of times.

Lou Xiao'e slowly stopped crying, but still didn't let go.

"I was terrified just now."

"Why are you so timid? Everything's alright now."

"She's a girl, and she's been afraid of the dark since she was little. And you suddenly ran away."

"Alright, alright, I'm back now."

He Yuzhu was very embarrassed. He had already spent a week living like a monk on the train, and now he was being hugged by Lou Xiao'e.

They immediately raised their flags and saluted to pay their respects to the beautiful woman.

Lou Xiao'e continued to hold on, her tears gradually subsided, and her mood improved. She then felt a hard object pressing against her lower abdomen, which was very uncomfortable.

In his moment of grief, without understanding what was happening, he shouted, "Master He, why did you put the gun in front of you?"

When I let go, I reached out and flicked it, and then I just froze.

She's not a little girl anymore and understands many things, but today's situation is a little different.

Based on my previous understanding, the volume wouldn't be that huge, so I didn't immediately think of that possibility.

I just assumed that He Yuzhu had tucked the pistol into his waistband, otherwise it wouldn't be so big.

But when one of his little hands pressed on He Yuzhu's stomach...

Lou Xiao'e immediately realized that she had made a huge blunder today.

After holding back for a week, He Yuzhu's inner rage was suddenly ignited by Lou Xiao'e.

With the soft fragrance in his arms and the room pitch black, he steeled himself and lowered his head.

Lou Xiao'e was stunned when a pair of warm lips pressed against her cherry-like mouth.

Chapter 338 Lou Xiao'e is kidnapped

For a moment, she was at a loss, her mind blank, letting He Yuzhu do whatever he wanted.

It took her a moment to realize what was happening and she began to struggle, but she was too weak to break free.

Lou Xiao'e sighed, quickly becoming drowsy, and instead hugged He Yuzhu's broad waist, offering him a sweet kiss.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly the lights came on, dispelling the darkness in the room.

The two then felt embarrassed and separated.

Lou Xiao'e wiped the traces from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, and angrily kicked it.

He angrily shouted, "You bad guy, you filthy scoundrel!"

"I'm sorry, it's just that you were in my arms just now, and I was momentarily..."

Lou Xiao'e glared at her and said, "You still dare to talk?"

He Yuzhu immediately raised his hands in surrender and apologized repeatedly.

Lou Xiao'e said fiercely, "You must forget what just happened, and you are not allowed to tell anyone, understand?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Of course, how could I tell anyone? This is our secret."

"You still dare to talk!" Lou Xiao'e warned He Yuzhu repeatedly, forbidding him from telling anyone, and then turned and walked out.

He Yuzhu asked, "Do you still want some honey-glazed pastries?"

Lou Xiao'e paused for a moment, turned her head to look at the two packages of pastries on the coffee table, then picked them all up and carried them out.

As you leave, turn back and say, "If I hear you spouting nonsense outside, I'll kill myself."

He Yuzhu nodded and then shook his head repeatedly, not knowing how Lou Xiao'e understood it. She glared at him, very dissatisfied, and slammed the door shut.

The next day, news came that someone had sabotaged the circuit and intended to commit a crime, but the guards discovered it in advance and a fierce battle ensued.

The enemy agents left behind two corpses and fled in panic. Although the incident was far away, it still made everyone tense.

He Yuzhu closely followed the top leader, either attending meetings or receiving guests to discuss business.

But I later realized that it wouldn't have made any difference if I had come.

Each booth was more like a window for introductions. The guests from Yuanda all had official backgrounds. They didn't directly negotiate and purchase products from manufacturers.

Instead, they directly negotiate procurement with top leaders.

They used official channels, making purchases directly in the conference room, and it wasn't just a single product; many were comprehensive solutions.

When He Yuzhu returned to the hotel that evening, he saw that the light was on in Lou Xiao'e's room next door, so he knocked on her door.

Lou Xiao'e opened the door a crack, and was somewhat displeased when she saw that it was He Yuzhu.

"What do you want to do?"

He Yuzhu asked, "I have some pastries in my room, freshly made today. Would you like to come over and have some?"

"You bad guy, you're just lying to me, I won't eat it."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut. He Yuzhu rubbed his nose and had no choice but to go back to take a shower.

Although Lou Xiao'e's attitude was somewhat unfriendly, it reassured He Yuzhu that she probably wouldn't have any overly pessimistic thoughts.

After taking a shower and watching TV for a while, Lou Xiao'e suddenly knocked on the door.

He Yuzhu opened the door and said, "Please come in!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "I won't go in. Go and get the pastries for me."

She really is a foodie; despite their terrible relationship, she still can't forget the delicious food He Yuzhu makes.

However, she was still wary of him and was unwilling to enter He Yuzhu's room.

He Yuzhu didn't insist. He went back into the house, took out a box of pastries, and said, "This is Malay cake. What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you."

Lou Xiao'e took it and thought for a moment before asking, "Can you make fresh milk cotton cups?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Of course, I can make anything you want to eat."

Lou Xiao'e snorted and shouted, "I know you're a bad guy. Stop trying to please me, I won't fall for your tricks."

"Then why are you still eating the pastries I made? Aren't you afraid I'll poison them?"

Lou Xiao'e asked blankly, "You can poison people?"

He Yuzhu said, "Of course, I've poisoned the snacks. After you eat them, you'll behave obediently."

Lou Xiao'e was now certain that he was talking nonsense, so she kicked him and cursed:

"You're a bad guy."

He Yuzhu didn't move. After she kicked it, he asked, "Then are you still going to eat it? Give it back to me."

Lou Xiao'e hid her head behind her back, snorted, and turned back to her room.

The same thing happened the next evening. Lou Xiao'e knocked on the door but didn't go inside. She waited for He Yuzhu to bring out the cotton cup of fresh milk.

He Yuzhu then asked Lou Xiao'e if she could make the donkey roll the next day.

He Yuzhu continued to make different kinds of pastries every day, and maintained his friendship with Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e was wary of him and refused to enter his room, so the two had no chance to be alone together.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the big leader needed to attend a meeting in Guangzhou, so he gave He Yuzhu a day off.

In the morning, I knocked on Lou Xiao'e's door and asked, "Do you have time to go sightseeing with me today?"

"No, you go play by yourself, I want to stay with Dad."

Helpless, He Yuzhu went out by himself.

Having inquired about the location of the nearby seafood market a few days ago, He Yuzhu rode his tricycle directly to the market.

The variety of fish is quite complete, including turbot, grouper, salmon, large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, sea bass, saury, and many other fish that He Yuzhu doesn't recognize.

He Yuzhu was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, finding everything fascinating.

The most common items were fish, followed by shellfish. He Yuzhu would go up and ask about everything he saw and buy some.

At this time, there were no surveillance cameras, and with the tricycle as cover, it was easy to quietly put the purchased items into the storage space, and it was difficult for people around to notice that the goods in the tricycle were less than expected.

Although I can't eat it after returning to the capital, I can still satisfy my craving.

He Yuzhu was finally satisfied after buying several truckloads of seafood.

Then we returned to the venue, where each stall also sold goods. Many people like traditional crafts such as embroidery and would buy some handicrafts as souvenirs.

He Yuzhu moved around the market buying and selling, buying several sets whenever he saw something he liked, since no receipts were required here.
