Sweet Wife in My Arms - Chapter 358

Chapter 358: He’s Married

“Hubby, I love you. I’ll love you for the rest of my life…”

Lu Yi felt his heart burning. He reached out to embrace the person most important to him, the miracle of his life.

“I love you too…” he said in a gruff voice. He never thought he would be saying these words, but he did. Sometimes, love is not only expressed through actions, but also words. He managed to do both for her.

In the morning, Yan Huan opened her eyes. She ran her finger gently across her man’s cheeks. This was her husband, the husband that would love and cherish her for the rest of her life. She pecked him on the cheeks. Just as she was about to do more, his eyes snapped open, a fiery passion burning within.

She had gone too far.

Yan Huan’s breathing paused. After their intimate physical contact in the past two days, her initial restraint had forsaken her. In the dim-lit room, she could feel her heart racing and her face reddening.

As the two lovers entwined, their hearts beat close. At that instant, their love erupted and radiated.

Yan Huan huddled up close to him. She liked it when he patted her shoulders lightly, fondled her hair, and whispered in her ear.

Unknowingly, her lips curled upwards in a sweet smile. She didn’t feel like getting up. For a moment, she didn’t want to leave him.

However, leaving was necessary. For their reunion. For making things right in the two lives she had lived. For eradicating potential threats. To achieve those, she had to give it her all and grow stronger.

Lu Yi patted her shoulder gently as though he was comforting a child.

“Stubborn like a donkey,” he chided, hugging her tighter. He wouldn’t let go of her for anything, not even if the entire world was offered to him.

He felt the ring on her finger and grasped her hand. He then rested his chin on her head. He wanted to sleep. He didn’t want to work today either. Spending time with his wife took priority.

“I’m taking some days off,” Lu Yi whispered into his phone. “I have some private matters. I’ll be back in a few days. Don’t worry about my work, I’ll finish them and send them over. It won’t make a difference. That’s all, bye.”

With that, he hung up. He dipped his head to look at the sweet sleeping beauty in his arms. Little wonder she was so tired. She had done many strenuous things, and her stamina was never that good.

“Lu Yi…” mumbled Yan Huan in her sleep.

“Mhm, I’m here. Sleep tight,” said Lu Yi, lowering his head to kiss her on her eyes. “I’ll always be here to protect you and cherish you.”

Who said Lu Yi wasn’t romantic? Who said Lu Yi lacked a honeyed tongue? It only depended on whether it was the right person.

He had shut his eyes, planning on napping with her for a little while, when someone knocked at the door. He looked down at Yan Huan and found her still asleep. Exhaustion made it hard to wake.

Carefully pulling down the blanket, Lu Yi sat up and walked outside. When the door opened, the person who stood there was no other than Ye Shuyun.

“Mom? What brings you here?”

Lu Yi brushed his hair and moved aside. However, his gaze stopped at the bedroom door.

“What is it, can’t I come? I’m just here to check on you. You haven’t gone back in a while.”

Ye Shuyun walked inside. Right as she stepped into her son’s home, she knew something was amiss. There was a woman in this house.

She walked straight towards Lu Yi’s bedroom. Of course, she was secretly thrilled. This kid has finally grown up and knows the charm of a woman! Any woman would do. She would be thankful as long as he didn’t find a man. She had often set her son on blind dates, out of fear that he might actually be gay.

The kid’s finally normal now.

Just as she was about to open the door, Lu Yi forestalled her, blocking the doorway with his body.

“She’s still asleep, Mom. Don’t bother her.”

Asleep, at this time? Ye Shuyun glanced at the clock on the wall. She studied her son through a squint. Ah, she got it.

Lu Yi sighed and ensconced her to the sofa, so that her curiosity wouldn’t prevail.

“Can’t you let Mom take a look at her? Ye Shuyun really wanted to look at her. It was her son’s first formal girlfriend! She knew that he never so much as held hands with the woman she had introduced him, not to mention going this far with anyone. She hoped that the girl was already with a child, so that she could have a grandson sooner.

“Not now, Mom. It’s not the time yet,” said Lu Yi. He never thought of showing Yan Huan to his parents at this time. If he had the intention, he would first run it by her. If she didn’t give her yes, he wouldn’t make the decision. There’s a saying that goes, you have to show your bride to your parents eventually, even if she was ugly as sin. However, Yan Huan’s status made it too hard to explain.

“Looks like you are serious this time,” said Ye Shuyun, pinching her son’s cheeks. The kid didn’t listen to his Mom now that he’s grown. Maybe it was her fault for not being able to give birth to a sweet, obedient child.

“When have I not been serious, Mom?” asked Lu Yi. He had never played with the feelings of others, but he was often dumped.

“You are serious,” Ye Shuyun rolled her eyes. “But you never pay attention to things. You are always hard hearted and emotionless.”

Ye Shuyun prodded him in the chest. How could she, his mother, not understand what was going on in that head of his?

But now you have finally found the one. When are you going to get married? Mom will make it the best wedding ever. She rose, wanting to return so that she could slowly ponder about his son’s wedding.

Lu Yi stopped her.

“Sit down, Mom. I have something to tell you.”

He turned his hand slowly to reveal the ring on his finger. The light from the ring shone brightly in Ye Shuyun’s eyes.

This time, there weren’t any games. This ring speaks for it.

“I got married, Mom,” he said earnestly.

“Oh, I know. You are finally ready to settle down. If she’s a good and proper girl, you ought to take responsibility,” she said. She wasn’t the narrow-minded sort. She knew that youngsters these days tend to be like this.

But wait—she paused, then blinked at his son.

“Lu Yi, what did you just say?”

“You…what?”
