Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

"Don't worry, this is a little secret between the two of us, I won't tell anyone."

"Bah, shameless!"

Du Weifang was so angry that her face turned red, her chest heaved violently, and she cursed fiercely.

Just then, footsteps were heard. It turned out that Du Weixiang had returned from outside with her father and grandfather.

"Little sister, come and see what good things I bought for you!" Du Weixiang called out to Du Weifang excitedly.

"What is it?" Du Weifang heard her sister's call, temporarily put aside her anger, and curiously stepped forward to ask.

"Look, this is the latest jewelry design! Don't you think it's beautiful?"

Du Weixiang carefully opened the box in her hand, inside lay a set of exquisite jewelry, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight.

Wow, it's so beautiful!

Du Weifang was instantly drawn to the jewelry in front of her, a joyful smile spreading across her face, completely forgetting the unpleasant incident that had just occurred.

She eagerly picked up the jewelry, examined it closely, and had a lively discussion with her sister about its style and how to match it.

Meanwhile, He Yuzhu and Du Guanghe were chatting enthusiastically about their recent work.

"We've already cleared six streets, so we've basically got all the surrounding territory under control."

Du Guanghe said smugly.

Then he asked, "So what are your plans next?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, then suddenly frowned and said, "I suddenly realized something: you can't all leave together!"

"What? You regret asking us for help now?" Du Guanghe looked at He Yuzhu with some surprise and asked in confusion.

"No, no, how could I regret it? What I mean is, if you all leave, I can't handle all this on my own. Besides, there are other important things to take care of," He Yuzhu quickly explained.

Du Guanghe frowned, looking puzzled, and asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

He Yuzhu's eyes flashed, and he responded confidently:

"In my opinion, Du Weifang's martial arts skills are quite good. Why don't we let her take on the role of the leader? Besides, according to you, she often helps out at home."

Upon hearing this, Du Guanghe was quite surprised. He had never expected He Yuzhu to suggest that his granddaughter stay.

This is clearly holding her hostage here! Although my granddaughter Du Weifang did help with some things at home before, it's really hard to feel at ease letting her manage things related to the underworld.

"Do you expect me to keep you here any longer?"

Du Weixiang's grandmother's old ailment has flared up again. If Du Guanghe is allowed to stay here for an extended period, he might just leave without saying goodbye one day.

After all, Du Guanghe still had to go back to see his wife eventually, and besides, he couldn't leave his son here, because there were many conflicts between the father and son, and they couldn't talk to each other at all.

As for Du Weixiang, she hadn't seen her grandmother in a long time, and if she missed this opportunity to meet her, she would probably regret it for the rest of her life.

After much deliberation, Du Guanghe concluded that having Du Weifang stay was the only feasible solution at the moment.

"Let me think about it some more," Du Guanghe said, his brows furrowed slightly and his tone hesitant.

“Okay, anyway, you’re taking a flight tomorrow. There’s plenty of time, take your time to think it over,” He Yuzhu replied.

Then everyone started packing their things, preparing to go out for a sumptuous dinner that evening.

However, just like the previous two days, Du Weifang deliberately avoided He Yuzhu.

This situation was already commonplace.

Because Du Weifang had never liked her brother-in-law, the two would always argue whenever they got together.

At dinner time, the family sat around the table.

Du Guang and his son stayed in their room on the first floor to rest and watch over the shop. Du Weifang, on the other hand, went back to the third floor to rest with He Yuzhu and his wife.

Lying on the soft bed, Du Weifang couldn't help but recall the scene when He Yuzhu kissed her, and a nameless anger welled up in her heart.

But she dared not tell her sister and father about it, so she could only close her eyes and try to force herself to fall asleep.

However, my thoughts were like a wild horse that was difficult to control.

He Yuzhu's strong physique, robust build, and strong masculine aura kept appearing in her mind, making him unforgettable.

This feeling filled her with anger, yet also a complex mix of emotions she couldn't quite put into words. Finally, she sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, if only he weren't my brother-in-law..."

The next day, the Du family went out to play for another morning. When they returned at noon, Du Guanghe finally found his little granddaughter.

“There’s still a lot of work to be done here! So, you should stay here obediently and not think about going back,” Grandpa said earnestly.

"What? Grandpa, what do you mean by this?" Du Weifang asked, her eyes wide with confusion.

Grandpa sighed slightly and then explained, "You can stay here and take good care of those streets, and also help the young master with some matters. After all, he has other important things to attend to."

Upon hearing this, Du Weifang jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shouted loudly:

"No, no, absolutely not! I strongly disagree!"

What a joke! That He Yuzhu is no good at all. He's a scoundrel to the core, a typical old rogue!

Looking back on yesterday, if my family hadn't rushed back in time, who knows what other outrageous things this guy might have done.

Now, Grandpa actually wants me to stay here and spend time alone with He Yuzhu for at least a week.

What if, in the dead of night, He Yuzhu suddenly becomes a beast and tries to take advantage of her? Thinking of this, Du Weifang couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

However, Grandpa seemed determined, and said with a stern face:

"How can you be so insensible? Can you bear to see your sister not even get to see Grandma one last time?"

Du Weifang was speechless for a moment, but she was still extremely unwilling, and muttered, "But..."

Grandpa waved his hand, interrupting her: "There's no 'but'! We'll definitely be back in a week or two at most!"

My wife suffers from a chronic illness, and her condition remains extremely critical, constantly teetering on the brink of life and death.

Having not returned home for such a long time, I am truly worried.

Du Guolong and Du Weixiang also tried their best to persuade their younger sister to stay, because she found it difficult to tell her brother-in-law about being harassed in front of her own family.

With no other choice, Du Weifang gritted her teeth, suppressed her grievances, and nodded in agreement.

After the meal, everyone went to Kai Tak Airport together. After a short wait, they watched them board the plane and leave. Afterwards, Ho Yu-chu and To Wai-fong took a boat back to Wan Chai.

Upon returning home, He Yuzhu immediately summoned all six leaders and demanded that Du Weifang fight them all by herself.

Du Weifang moved nimbly and struck with lightning speed, defeating them one by one and knocking them to the ground in no time.

Such skill truly made these leaders realize that Du Weifang was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also exceptionally strong, and they were all completely convinced of her abilities.

After respectfully seeing the six minor leaders off, He Yuzhu gently took Du Weifang's soft, boneless hand and solemnly instructed her:

"You need to pay close attention and see if any of these six people exhibit any unusual or unusual behavior."

Chapter 430 Then I won't go back today.

"What do you mean?" Du Weifang asked, a hint of doubt and confusion in her voice.

He Yuzhu simply said, "Just tell me if you find anything unusual."

During this period, He Yuzhu remained highly vigilant but failed to detect anything unusual.

This seemingly calm situation actually made him suspicious. He began to think to himself that among these six minor leaders, there might be one who was an accomplice of the enemy.

After all, there were no obvious surveillance forces around the newspaper office, which provided certain convenient conditions for the enemy to infiltrate.

Finding the enemy hiding in the shadows is no easy task; it will be a long and arduous job that requires them to constantly observe, analyze, and search for clues.

After hearing He Yuzhu's words, Du Weifang responded softly and agreed, understanding the importance of the matter.

However, just as she was about to make a move, she felt He Yuzhu tightly grasp her hand.

She said with a hint of helplessness:

"Brother-in-law, let go."

The tone conveyed both an urgent desire to break free and a hint of helplessness in the face of the situation.

"Promise me a kiss, and I'll let go."

A sly glint flashed in He Yuzhu's eyes. He knew his move was a bit underhanded, but he couldn't care less.

Upon hearing this, Du Weifang's face flushed slightly, and she wavered somewhat, but she still stubbornly said:

"No." Her tone was resolute, as if she had made up her mind.

Seeing Du Weifang's attitude, He Yuzhu sighed inwardly and had no choice but to resort to his trump card:

"Then I won't let go."

After saying that, he hugged Du Weifang tightly around the waist, as if afraid that she would really leave.

Du Weifang was startled by his sudden action and stood up angrily, trying to break free from his embrace and walk out.

However, He Yuzhu was not about to let go easily. He pulled hard, and Du Weifang lost her balance and fell into his arms.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat subtle, and an indescribable emotion seemed to permeate the air.

In her panic, Du Weifang instinctively clasped her fingers together as if she had made a decision, and then quickly pecked at He Yuzhu's face.
