Sweet Wife in My Arms - Chapter 873

Chapter 873: No One Was Around

“I know,” Lu Yi gently shielded her belly. Resting his palm on her waist, he could feel the vitality of his children in Yan Huan’s belly.

“Don’t be afraid. I believe that our children will stay strong, because they are the children of the Lu Family, right?”

Yan Huan sniffed softly and laid her head on his shoulder. She fell asleep after a while.

On the second day, Lu Yi went out early in the morning. When he came back, he was already driving his own car.

Yan Huan was sitting inside the house, she had been thinking for quite a while. When she heard the sound of a car stopping right outside the house, her fingers trembled involuntarily. Light rays shone through the window and fell on her face. She knew that when she opened the window, there would be green sceneries. The grass was growing upward, showing strong signs of vitality which indicated that even though they had been trampled, they would be able to survive and grow.

Moreover, under these signs of life, she did not know what God had in store for her. Was it survival, death or in between?

However, just like what Lu Yi had said, no matter how long she had been avoiding this, she would have to face it after all. She lowered her head and gently touched her belly. The babies were usually asleep in the morning, so they were exceptionally quiet, but they would start to make noises in the middle of the night. Once she was full after eating, they would be quiet again. Perhaps they were trying to tell their mother that they needed food, they needed nutrients, and they wanted to grow up.

The door was opened and Lu Yi walked in. He bought Yan Huan her favorite bun. When she smelled the aroma of the bun, she could not help but lick her lips. She was hungry… no, she was not hungry, she just felt like eating some buns. It was the bun that she liked the most, but as the vendor was quite far away from home, she would not want to trouble the nanny to buy for her.

“Eat.” Lu Yi took a bun and put it in front of her.

Yan Huan took the bun from Lu Yi. Unable to hold herself back, she quickly took a large bite of the bun.

It was the familiar taste that she longed for, absolutely delicious! The meat inside the bun was so tender that it almost melted in her mouth.

In the blink of an eye, she finished the first bun and started staring at Lu Yi.

As if those eyes were saying, give me another one, please give me another one.

Lu Yi had no choice but to pass her the bag in his hand. He knew that her current appetite was surprisingly huge. If she did not have enough food, he could sense her being listless.

Luckily, he had prepared enough. He only bought three buns for her, thinking that those three buns would not stuff her.

Yan Huan reached out her hand and took over the bag from Lu Yi. Then, she took out a bun and started eating happily. On the other hand, Lu Yi stood up and planned to pack her stuff before going home. Yan Huan did not have much stuff, only a few clothes and most were oversized pajamas. The others were either prepared earlier by Liang Chen or were brought in later on. Thus, they did not have to pack those as someone would come and clean them up.

When he finished packing, he only had a small suitcase with a couple of clothes, a few pairs of shoes, a few books, and nothing else.

“Let’s go.” With one hand carrying the luggage, Lu Yi reached out another hand for Yan Huan.

Yan Huan held his hand while pondering over the buns. “Aren’t there six buns per portion? Why are there only three left?” She did not have enough, so let’s buy a portion on the way home.

“I ate three.” Lu Yi turned around and asked, “Why? Are you still hungry?” He did not plan to eat at first, but he had three anyway just in case she could not control herself and finish the whole portion.

“Nope, I’m full.” Yan Huan lowered her head, afraid of admitting she was not full. Not to mention Lu Yi, she herself also got scared by her current appetite so it was better not to say that she was still hungry. She would just sneak out to buy another portion later on. She could find a place and finish everything by herself, and no one would know about it.

However, Lu Yi drove down an uncommon road and did not pass by the bun house. She had no idea whether he was being intentional or not, but as they drove further and further away, she could feel her heart was broken. It was as though she could never have the chance to eat such tasty buns again in her entire life.

“Why don’t we follow the usual path?” With a frown on her delicate brows, she played with her fingers, feeling as if a cat was lightly scratching her heart.

“It’s under construction.” Lu Yi said calmly even though it was a lie. He could see through all the little thoughts of Yan Huan. He could know what she had on her mind even from the movement of her eyes, she must be planning on sneaking out for food.

However, he could not just let her be. He must wait until their consultation session tomorrow with He Yibin and a few doctors from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department before knowing what they could do next.

After all, He Yibin had told them clearly in the first place that Yan Huan’s womb could barely support the babies’ weight in days to come. It was already difficult to support the weight of one baby, needless to say, two. Moreover, based on her eating speed, chances were the babies would become little fatties.

If He Yibin was right, it was a must to control the bodyweight of the babies. For what it was worth, he should not allow Yan Huan to eat more even if she was hungry. The problem was she got hungry too quickly, it was uncertain if this was caused by her body constitution or the two babies in her belly. From day to night, her mouth had never stopped eating, but even so, she remained hungry all the time.

Lu Yi brought Yan Huan to where Old Master Lu was residing, the Classical Garden.

Yan Huan dared not get out of the car.

She touched her own fingers, it’s over, I’m screwed, Old Master Lu will surely scold me to death.

“Don’t worry.” Lu Yi did not forget to comfort Yan Huan as he opened the car door.

“Grandpa has gone to my parents’ home. So now, other than the housemaid and your Aunt Gu, there’s no one else here.”

“Is it real?” Yan Huan’s eyes sparkled. “There’s no one else, for real?”

“Yes, no one, you can stay as long as you wish. Grandpa is fixing the house over there for his great-grandchildren.”

“Fixing the house? Which house is that?” Yan Huan could not recall anything for a moment, was it true that she was becoming stupid? They said pregnancy could make a woman dumb, had she become dumber as well?

“The place where Lu Qin used to stay.” As Lu Yi finished his sentence, he opened the car door and reached out his hands, helping Yan Huan to get out of the car. As a matter of fact, although Yan Huan was pregnant right now, she had not changed much in size, it was just that her belly was quite big. However, it did not affect her mobility at all.
