Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 423

He Yuzhu wanted as many children as possible, especially the son born to Xu Huizhen.

On his second day at work, He Yuzhu continued to dedicate himself to the research and development of the compressor.

Air conditioners have actually been around for 50 years, and compressors are used in many places in China.

Moreover, after Director Zhu returned, he sent over a large number of documents, all of which were related research materials.

This greatly accelerated He Yuzhu's research.

He was not satisfied with simply copying existing compressors; he wanted to develop a more energy-efficient compressor.

Last summer, I made a fan, but it was still hot when I used it. I had to add ice cubes to keep it cool, otherwise I couldn't fall asleep at night.

He Yuzhu decided to produce air conditioners before summer so that they could be used then.

For two days in a row, He Yuzhu spent almost all his time in the laboratory, making one compressor after another, but he was still not satisfied.

Lü Xiaomi thought He Yuzhu had forgotten and wanted to remind him, but she didn't expect to be called into the laboratory first.

He Yu couldn't hide her smile at all. She pointed at the messy parts on the lab bench and said to her, "Go and call two workers to clean all these things out."

"Okay, sure." Lü Xiaomi turned and walked out.

He Yuzhu then said, "Go to the administration department and ask for leave. Go to the small villa and clean it."

"Huh?" Lü Xiaomi exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the small Western-style building.

He Yuzhu instructed, "Just say there's something going on at home."

Lü Xiaomi said, "But..."

"What's your business?"

"N-nothing...nothing's wrong." Lü Xiaomi couldn't say what she wanted to say earlier.

"go quickly."

After a few minutes, two workers came into the lab and removed all the unused parts.

He Yuzhu then put the successfully manufactured compressor into the safe, washed his hands, and came out of the laboratory.

In the afternoon, He Yuzhu left the machinery factory early, and Zhang Guangming did not ask to leave with him again today.

Entering Jiudaowan Hutong, you soon arrive at the small villa. Pushing open the door and walking into the living room, you see Lü Xiaomi bending over and wiping the coffee table.

He Yuzhu walked up behind her without disturbing her, then reached out and put his arm around her slender waist while covering her cherry-like mouth.

This prevented Lü Xiaomi from letting out a surprised scream.

“It’s me,” He Yuzhu said softly.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's voice, Lü Xiaomi struggled even more violently. She finally managed to break free and collapsed onto the sofa.

"You...you're a scoundrel."

Her excellent upbringing left Lü Xiaomi speechless for a moment.

"Even if I'm a rogue, I'm still better than a traitor and enemy agent like you. At least I won't harm anyone."

"you..."

Whether out of shyness or anger, Lü Xiaomi's face turned bright red, and she was at a loss for words.

He Yuzhu sat down next to her, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "You've been an enemy agent your whole life. Since this is your first offense and you haven't caused any other damage, I can choose to forgive you, but I will have to reform you."

Lu Xiaomi said somewhat angrily, "You...you're just after my good looks, and you want my body?"

He had already figured it out: He Yuzhu was going to use that pledge of allegiance to threaten him.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Wow, you're so smart! You even thought of that!"

"Hmph, I'm not stupid. Where's the note I wrote?"

"It's upstairs. Come on, I'll get it for you."

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Lü Xiaomi got up and headed upstairs.

He Yuzhu bent down and picked her up horizontally. Lü Xiaomi couldn't break free, so she had to hug him and be carried upstairs.

When she was placed on the bed in the bedroom, Lü Xiaomi bit her lip and said, "Give me back the note first."

"Then I'll give it back to you, but you have to promise to be my woman."

Lü Xiaomi hesitated for a moment, then blushed and said, "Okay."

He Yuzhu got up and went out for a while. He came back from the study and handed a note to Lü Xiaomi.

A satisfied smile appeared on Lü Xiaomi's face. Without even looking at it, she reached out and tore the note to shreds.

He Yuzhu did not stop her, letting Lü Xiaomi tear it to pieces.

Lu Xiaomi was finally relieved. She threw the white shards forcefully, hitting He Yuzhu in the face, and got up to leave.

He Yuzhu reached out to pull her, but Lü Xiaomi raised her hand and slapped away his outstretched hand, saying:

“He Yuzhu, I’m warning you, don’t lay a hand on me. This is the end of our business. Forget about what happened before. I’m not coming to work at the machinery factory tomorrow.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out with a smug look on his face, determined that if He Yuzhu dared to act like a hooligan again, he would not let him off easily.

He Yuzhu waited until he reached the door before asking, "Lü Xiaomi, why didn't you look at that piece of paper just now?"

Lu Xiaomi, who was feeling smug, trembled and swayed before turning around, her face full of frost.

"He Yuzhu, what do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing, I'm just reminding you to be more careful in the future and to review any documents you receive."

"what?"

At this moment, Lü Xiaomi panicked and returned to He Yuzhu's side, squatting down to look at the white paper scraps scattered on the ground.

Although it was already very fragmented, not a single trace of writing could be seen on it.

When He Yuzhu handed it over, it was folded into a square, so Liu Xiaomi didn't think much of it. Worried that He Yuzhu would stop her, she took it and started tearing it open.

At the time, I was very pleased with myself, thinking that I had fooled He Yuzhu. Only then did I realize that He Yuzhu had fooled me first, by giving me a blank piece of paper without any writing on it.

Lü Xiaomi thought she had torn up the entire pledge of allegiance, but she was too happy too soon. Without checking it, she immediately turned against He Yuzhu.

What to do now?

Lü Xiaomi was at a loss for what to do and plopped down on the carpet.

He Yuzhu squatted down and asked, "Lü Xiaomi, how old are you?"

Lü Xiaomi didn't know what it meant either, and said, "I've already turned 18 this year."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Haven't you grown a brain in these 18 years?"

"You're the one who doesn't have a brain," Lü Xiaomi said angrily.

"Then why are you so careless? Someone just scares you a little, and you obediently write a pledge of allegiance, explaining everything clearly."

"I..."

"Not only that, you also truthfully revealed all the secrets of the machine tool. You say you're not a traitor, not an enemy agent, then what are you?"

When Lü Xiaomi was asked this question, tears silently streamed down her face. She cried, "I didn't want to either, but..."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "No matter how you explain it, no matter what the reason, you can't deny that you betrayed us back then, can you?"

Lü Xiaomi nodded. That was an indisputable fact, and there was no way to deny it.

He Yuzhu reached out and stroked her pretty face, wiping away her tears, and said, "What do you think we should do if we discover an enemy agent?"

Upon imagining the terrible consequences, Lü Xiaomi immediately broke down, shaking her head violently as tears streamed down her face.

"Please forgive me this time, okay?"

"Silly girl, I really can't bear to send you to prison, but what about you? You actually tried to lie to me and even wanted to tear up that evidence?"

Knowing she had no way out, Lü Xiaomi clung to He Yuzhu's arm and shook it, saying pitifully:

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong... Please forgive me this time, okay?... I promise I'll listen to you from now on... I'll do whatever you ask, okay?"

"Really that obedient?" He Yuzhu asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Yes! I'll be very obedient."

"Then do you know what to do?"

Lü Xiaomi shook her head, sensing something was amiss. Then she nodded, still feeling something was wrong, and simply lowered her head, saying, "I don't know."

He Yuzhu didn't say anything more, reached out and picked her up, took a few steps, and put her on the bed.

Lu Xiaomi was already blushing with embarrassment and dared not look at He Yuzhu. She closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled, showing that Lu Xiaomi was very unsettled.

"Silly girl, did you willingly become my woman?" He Yuzhu asked.

Lü Xiaomi wanted to shake her head, but she had already fooled He Yuzhu once today and knew that she had no way out.

She nodded and said in a voice barely audible, "I do."

He Yuzhu then lay down next to her and reached out to unbutton her clothes.

Her delicate and pretty nose, full and soft red lips, and flawless, supple skin all exude the youthful charm of a young woman in her late teens.

Lu Xiaomi's slender body was tense, her small head turned to one side, her hair was tied up to reveal her snow-white and slender neck, and beneath her crystal-clear and delicate skin, there was a patch of crimson.
