Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 175



Chapter 175: I Am Hurt

“I already settled it.” Lu Yi didn’t have many expressions on his face, even though he was slightly annoyed. She was beautiful but not smart at all. It wasn’t easy to stay in showbiz. She had been walking alone on the path overgrown with brambles for long. If she did not have a strong backing, her journey to the top of the showbiz would beset with difficulties.

“Thank you.” Yan Huan lowered her head and continued eating without saying a word.

“You’re welcome, you’ve saved me.” Lu Yi said faintly, he had received her gratitude twice today.

“You know all about it?” Yan Huan wasn’t surprised. She could understand actually. But why didn’t he thank her? It seemed that she had forgotten, she ignored him. He saved her last time and she ran away without expressing her gratitude. Then they pretended to be strangers when they met again, so they couldn’t have a good chat, could they?

“Can I stay here today?” Yan Huan spoke in a low voice. Otherwise, she had to find a place to stay. She didn’t bring her ID card along and she only had the phone with her, so could she stay in the hotel?

“Sure.” Lu Yi would not drive her away, “I’ll leave the house with you. I’m going to my home and not coming back tonight.”

Yan Huan knew the home he said was the house of Lu family, and she also knew that he made things convenient for her. The man believed her, and he was not afraid that she would empty his house. Nor did she. She was not poor enough to be a thief.

Lu Yi rose to his feet, then he got his things and went out. It was so silent that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

She picked up the bowl and finished the congee, then she headed to the kitchen and washed the bowl. Lu Yi already washed the pot, and the kitchen was well-equipped, presumably, he would cook some dishes sometimes. He was a weirdo among the children of officials. For example, Lu Qin just waited on his hand and foot besides acting; as for the second generation rich, some of them would do business, and some of them did nothing. And Lu Yi was the only one who joined the army, went into politics and became a prosecutor. He did well in his career, everyone was afraid of him but they could do nothing about him.

Perhaps he was born to be a prosecutor.

He wasn’t afraid of offending people and he could take on the duty not because of the Lu family but his great ability.

She opened the door of the refrigerator, it was almost full and had everything inside.

Indeed, he did the cooking.

He was a family man and a fighter, but the pity was he had a lover.

She was jealous. She pursed her lips and came out of the kitchen. She slept with her underclothes as she had got no pajamas to change. Though she didn’t feel the pain, she felt uncomfortable with the wounds on her body.

She tucked herself in the blanket which did not give off much smell. It was warm, soft and comfortable, with the smell of the man, the smell of kapok and the smell of the sunlight.

She fell asleep soon as if she was sleeping in her room without any strangeness and restless.

She heard the sound of the door opened early in the morning, but she was still in a daze which she thought she was sleeping on the bed in her room. She wormed out of the blanket, then she opened the door and walked out. She didn’t notice as she thought she was wearing pajamas.

“Yiyi, what are you doing out there? I’m hungry, “She squinted her eyes, she wanted to sleep but she was hungry.

Lu Yi set the things in his hand down, he walked to the heater and turned it up. Then he came over and draped his clothes over her shoulders.

Yan Huan opened her eyes, she was awake when she saw Lu Yi with his impassive face, but she did not shout at him or give him a slap like other women.

“Lu Yi…” She sniffed and she felt so hurt.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Yi wrapped her with the coat properly, he didn’t conceive a lustful intent when he saw a naked woman, but he was quiet and even calm.

“I am hurt.” She broke out into tears suddenly. She was afraid of pain. She was afraid of someone would stab her from her back with a knife and stab her in the viscera, and she would bleed to death.

She felt hurt, she felt badly hurts, she missed her mother but her mother was no longer around.

She reached out her arms and hugged his waist. As if in the previous life, she leaned on his arms and blocked him from all of the pain and danger. She gave her life to repay his favour.

“I’ll help you to apply ointment later on, and it won’t hurt anymore.” Lu Yi did not push her away, he caressed her hair gently like comforting a young girl. She was a young girl at the age of 21, and she was unlike others who grew up in parental love.

They could act like a spoiled child and get angry with their parents, but she went through all kinds of hardships alone, and she even jumped from the apartment in order to protect herself.

“Go and take a nap.” Lu Yi touched the top of her head. He didn’t know why he havhade such great patience as if he had known her for a long time. Did they knew each other in the previous life?

“I don’t want to sleep.” Yan Huan shook her head and hugged him tightly. She liked the smell of his body, without the smell of cigarettes and the stink of sweat. He gave off the faint scent like the fragrance of kapok which accompanied her all night. She felt secure and safe.

As he said, he would protect her, they had agreed about it and he couldn’t back out.

Lu Yi stood straight and let her hugged him. The woman in his arms had not moved for a while, and he could hear her even breathing. She fell asleep again.

He sighed and carried the woman. She was as light as a feather. Did she rarely eat a meal or that actors couldn’t eat much?

He set her down on the bed and tucked her in the blanket, but he touched her body inadvertently. He quickly moved his fingers and breathed rapidly, and he even felt a bit thirsty.
