Sweet Wife in My Arms - Chapter 295

Chapter 295: She is Here

At the end of the day, the one who plunged the knife deep into her chest was still him.

“Alright,” Yan Huan smiled brightly at him before lowering her head to eat the hot pot. No one besides them had noticed anything between them only because they were too busy focusing on the food.

In any case, the other two had a huge appetite. They were soon engaged in a food war but Lei Qingyi was still gentlemanly. He would let Yi Ling have the food. He would give her anything that was nice first and even though he was a dummy who spoke crudely and had a foul mouth, he could be caring too.

Yan Huan didn’t eat much and so did Lu Yi. As for Lei Qingyi and Yi Ling, they finished more than half of the food by themselves.

At the end, there were still quite a lot of food on the table. She stuffed all of them into her bowl and no matter what, she was determined to finish everything.

“You have eaten too much, put down those that you cannot finish.” Lei Qingyi felt his brows locked. He was stuffing himself to death.

“It is not good to waste food,” Yi Ling continued to eat, “you have no idea but I had no parents. I ran out from the orphanage when I was 10 and Mother Yan had always been taking care of me since then. She scrimped and saved and we would not be full at times. We have been scared of being poor since young and of course, we will not waste any food at all. Even though we are earning money now, people cannot forget their roots.”

Lei Qingyi felt a tinge of sourness in his heart as he listened to this.

“That…” He held it in for a long time before opening his mouth.

“Yes?” Yi Ling raised her face from her bowl, “Why, do you still want to eat?”

“No,” Lei Qingyi’s face had turned red from holding his words back, “If you want to eat in the future, you can look for me,” he banged his chest. “You can eat anything you want. If you cannot finish we can throw it away too.”

“Really?”

Yi Ling’s eyes brightened. She loved eating the most.

“Yes,” Lei Qingyi nodded hard. “I will take you to eat whatever you want to eat. You don’t have to pay for it. I will treat.”

“Okay,” Yi Ling’s eyes squinted from her bright smile.

Yan Huan lowered her head. She had a helpless feeling of wanting to knock her head against the wall. Since the past, she had been afraid that Yi Ling would sell herself just for a meal. It seems like this was the case right now.

After eating, they didn’t stay outside too long too. They went back home by themselves first. Yi Ling and Lei Qingyi couldn’t bear to leave. The two of them had been talking about food the entire time.

The two of them seemed to be getting closer, almost as if they were bros.

But a guy and a girl, how could they be bros?

Yan Huan felt that it wasn’t that easy for the two of them to be enlightened. But if this continues on, one day, even the stupidest of person will be enlightened. They would be able to understand something that they cannot fathom.

The next day, Lu Yi returned Little Bean.

“Eh?” Yan Huan carried him over and felt his stomach.

“Why is he fatter?”

Truly, he wasn’t fat when Yan Huan first passed him to Lu Yi. But he seemed so fat that he cannot walk now.

“He ate all the fish in my mother’s fish tank.” Lu Yi went to feel Little Bean’s head. “My mother still hasn’t calmed down yet. She wants to cry every time she sees the fish tank. After that, Lei Qingyi’s mother had brought him over to take care of him. He eats fish every day and has become like this.”

“Sorry,” Yan Huan didn’t know what to say. She knew that cats like fish, but this wasn’t the way to eat them. The fish… in the fish tank. How did he eat it?

“It’s alright,” Lu Yi pinched the cat’s ears. “I have already ordered a new batch of fishes. The fish tank at home has also been sealed. It will be impossible for him to eat them next time.”

“Also, if you feel apologetic, you can give my mother a few autographed pictures of you, she will be very happy. She is your loyal fan.”

“Okay, give me a minute.” Yan Huan placed Little Bean down as he shook his head, wanting to jump on the sofa. However, he was too fat and couldn’t jump up. He could only walk away shamefully to his bed and started lying down to sleep.

When Yan Huan came out again, she was carrying two sets of intricately designed wooden boxes.

“These are the SD dolls that the company has specially designed for me. I took two of them to give one each to you and Lei Qingyi. My autograph is one it.”

Lu Yi took it over. The doll had huge eyes and a small face that had a small mouth. If one looked closely, it did resemble Yan Huan herself, of course, a cartoon version of Yan Huan.

Lu Yi believed that his mother would love it. He could forget about everything but he wouldn’t forget how his mother and Mother Lei would call Yan Huan their daughter.

“I will go back now,” Lu Yi touched her face, “rest well for the next few days, do not always think about filming new shows. You are famous enough already.”

“Okay,” Yan Huan promised with a smile. However, who knew her determination and perseverance behind her smile? She couldn’t stop. Su Muran will grow in no time at all. If she stayed stagnant, she would be defeated squarely.

At the very least, she wanted to be better and be good enough for Lu Yi. When she entered his home, she didn’t want to be looked down on. She wanted to carve out a name for herself.

After Lu Yi left, she touched her face softly. In that moment, something weighing on her heart seemed to vanish. It was lighter yet heavier at the same time.

Lu Yi drove back to where Ye Shuyun stayed as he prepared to give her the gift that Yan Huan had given. He wanted to comfort her injured soul, to bandage up the soul that had been damaged after it lost the fishes.

However when he opened the door, he could feel a different vibe.

“Mum, I am home,” He placed the stuff in his hands on the table. When he went in again, he saw someone that he hadn’t seen in a long time, someone whom he thought he wouldn’t see again.

Fang Zhu pushed up her glasses. She was dressed vintage and she seemed almost older. She wasn’t even 30 but it felt as if she was no different from any other woman who was 40.

Sigh… Ye Shuyun looked at this, then that, before calling her son.

“Lu Yi, come here and sit down. Xiaozhu, you too.”

Even though she had long given up on Fang Zhu and no longer expects her to be her daughter-in-law, she had already made her way over. They couldn’t be rude to a guest and chase her away. Even though Fang Zhu had things to say and she wasn’t able to let go even now, a good education from youth made her unable to chase people away.
