Sweet Wife in My Arms - Chapter 803

Chapter 803: She Had Returned

“At that moment, I was still wondering if yours would break down since hers had broken down. To my surprise, it turned out to be true! You bought them at the same time, so they broke down together.”

The maintenance staff explained it very casually, but Lu Yi frowned slightly.

“You still remember me?” he asked as he slid his fingers across the glass tabletop. “Is it because I’ve been using the computer for so long that it left you with an unforgettable impression?”

“No, no,” the maintenance staff denied as he shook his head immediately. “It’s not because of that, but rather because you’ve bought our most expensive model.”

“The graphic card of your most expensive model breaks down within half a year?” Lu Yi asked indifferently. He was making a sneaky jibe about the quality of this laptop.

“Perhaps it’s an accident,” the maintenance staff explained immediately. “Among what we have sold, only these two were sent back for repairs due to graphic card issues. Additionally, these two computers were bought together. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t cost you anything since they are still under warranty.”

Lu Yi stood up and turned on his laptop to check that everything is in order. Then, he left with it after making sure that there were no more problems. He walked steadily out of the shop, exuding an aura of elegance and seriousness.

He went back to the hotel. Then, he logged into his laptop and started to investigate something. Soon, he got up to pour a glass of water for himself before returning to his seat, gazing at the address on the laptop screen.

“So, you’ve been staying here… That’s a pretty nice place.”

Yan Huan turned her head around abruptly, curling her hands in her quilt. She had been getting this weird feeling recently, as if she was being stalked. But who would stalk her? Could some reporters have already noticed my whereabouts?

She felt that it was better for her to stay in for now, but she was feeling a little fidgety as she had been cooped up for three days.

She got out of bed, grabbed her bag and wrapped a scarf around her neck. Then, she put on a pair of black-rimmed spectacles. She did not believe that anyone would do anything to her in public.

She went to the biggest mall in town and simply hung around. Although she did not buy anything, she did feel better. She parked herself on a bench and pulled out her cellphone.

There were messages from Luo Lin, some from Yi Ling, and…

To her surprise, it seemed that Old Master Lu did learn to send messages.

“Please come back to weed the garden. The weeds have overgrown.” Yan Huan found it hilarious as she imagined Old Master Lu holding his cellphone clumsily. No wonder people liked to describe old people affectionately as ‘old kids’. The more they aged, the more childish they would become.

Whatever, it’s time to go back anyway. She had started to get bored after staying here for such a long time. She just wanted to look for a peaceful place to relax. She should go back as she had relaxed enough now.

I should just get a flight ticket for tomorrow. I don’t think I have much to do here anymore.

Lu Yi continued to do research on his laptop about the car accident that happened back then. The case had already been closed. Lin Shanshan was sentenced to seven years of jail and she was currently serving it.

However, there was something fishy about a person in this case, who was a victim of this accident. Everyone has decided to settle the case privately, except for her.

Luo Lin. He read out this name.

But was it really Luo Lin? Again, he investigated for a long time and found out that it was not Luo Lin, but her, as expected.

Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and lifted the cup to his lips. They had been sent to the hospital at the same time. The doctor said that he had lost a lot of blood, but his blood type was very rare, so they could not get any spare blood to give him a blood transfusion. It just so happened that another patient from the accident had the right blood type. Without that blood, he would be in mortal danger.

He picked up the cup again and gripped it tightly with his bony fingers, his knuckles standing out starkly as they turned white.

Yan Huan tidied up her things. Her luggage weighed the same as it did when she came here. She did consign some of her luggage in advance, so she could be considered as travelling light. All of her stuff could fit in a small suitcase.

She requested a magazine when she boarded the plane. To her surprise, the woman sitting beside her was not a stranger, but someone she knew, someone whom she was familiar with.

Why would she be here? Is she going back to Sea City too?

She put down the magazine, pulled up her blanket and turned her face away. She did not want to be a busybody. She would arrive in awhile anyway, as it would be a quick flight.

As for the woman sitting beside her, she had no idea what was on her mind. She looked eager and excited. Is this the look of a woman in love?

Yan Huan took another glance at her and moved her lips slightly, before closing her eyes. She remained silent. The only sound that could be heard from her was her breathing.

The plane stopped at the Sea City International Airport. When Yan Huan woke up, the person who sat beside her was gone. She put on her cap properly and pulled it down a bit before leaving the plane with the rest of the passengers.

You’ve been away for so long, and now you’ve finally come back. Yi Ling thought as she observed Yan Huan’s facial complexion.

Luckily, her face was not as pale as a ghost as before. She seemed to have regained some color on her face, so she was looking healthier now. That’s great. Yi Ling was relieved.

Ah, back to the grind. Yan Huan tossed her luggage into the car, got in herself and was reluctant to move after that.

She kicked off her shoes and moved her legs onto the car seat. Then she curled into a ball.

“I’ll take a nap, please wake me up when we arrive.”

“Okay,” Yi Ling agreed as she stepped on the accelerator pedal. They were headed for Old Master Lu’s house. She had also thought that there would be the best place for Yan Huan as there was someone who would take care of her. She worried that Yan Huan would turn psycho or mentally ill if she stayed alone for too long. It would be better if there was someone to talk to, or even to quarrel with. Staying alone for a long time with nobody to talk to might really drive her mad. She could not live that kind of life, so she could not imagine Yan Huan in that environment.

The car stopped outside the Classical Garden. The Classical Garden was built on a mountain path. Therefore, the scenery was very nice, with mountains and rivers all around. It was peaceful and quiet.

What was so good about the town? There was nothing there but noisy crowds and honking cars. It was much better here. Such a peaceful place without any pollution is hard to come by. Living here, breathing the fresh air, sunbathing in the mountains, and drinking clean spring water everyday, it was a great place to recuperate.

She would have a discussion with Lei Qingyi when she went back on whether they would come over and buy a house here as well, so that they could stay here after retirement.

“Huanhuan, wake up,” Yi Ling called as she nudged Yan Huan gently, who was sleeping soundly. She had just gotten off a plane and was currently feeling exhausted.
