Sweet Wife in My Arms

At this moment, the two of them were intimate and inseparable, like conjoined infants.

Her blood ran within his body, their intimacy could be represented by flesh and blood, inseparable for life.

The steam from the water gushed against Yan Huan's skin, and scorched her heart. This was the most intense that they have ever had, without any exchange of words, only movements. They were like two fish out of water, urgently needing one another's breath. Perhaps it was their long-awaited reunion, or they were roused by a certain couple. Their affection towards one another resembled the kinship between fish and water. They cherished their tender love and it was almost driving them mad.

Rising and falling like particles floating on the surface of the ocean, she felt as if she was in paradise.

His actions were akin to a general on the battlefield, it conquered her senses, her soul and her very existence.

They knew neither how much time passed nor after how many times, until Yan Huan began to feel drowsy, as if her entire body was engulfed by a feeling of warmth, which also seemed like she was an embryo inside her mother's womb, unborn.

"Mother..."

She uttered groggily. Truthfully, she still missed her mother.

But she was already orphaned.

Although at first Lu Yi dare not touch her, he placed his wide palm on her forehead. While her face was mostly spared, there were plenty of injuries all over her body. The countless wounds and bruises were shocking to see, more so with their obvious contrast against her fair skin.

He carefully lifted Yan Huan's arm and gently placed the blanket over her body, hoping that she could get a little more sleep.

Most of the time, for the past one year of training, she had been unable to get any proper sleep. When she was in the army, she constantly had to stay alert, eventually she had become used to the monotonous lifestyle and training. In fact, she might even need to readapt to her life after returning home.

He pulled out his phone, displayed on the screen were notifications of several missed calls. They were from his grandfather, his father, as well as his mother.

He walked out onto the balcony, closing the door behind him to reduce the volume of his voice.

"Hey mom, it's me, what's the matter?"

Ye Shuyun almost leaped up from the sofa, frightening Fei Douzi, who was lying on her lap, before it quickly jumped off and ran to snuggle in its nest.

"Son, you've finally returned my call."

Ye Shuyun let out a sigh of relief. He knew that her son went to the army because Yan Huan was there. Yet, up until now, she still could not believe that the person her son married was not just anyone, it was actually Yan Huan, it was her dearest Yan Huan.

"Mom, I just got back." Lu Yi leaned his back against the balcony behind him.

"Back--When did you get back?" Once again, Ye Shuyun raised her pitch. Even Lu Jin was startled, running out from inside.

Ye Shuyun reached her finger up and placed it by her lips, signaling Lu Jin to be quiet. Lu Jin understood so he just stood there in silence.

Right then, Fei Douzi ran over and rubbed itself against Lu Jin's leg. Bending down, Lu Jin picked up this new addition to the family. It was no wonder that Ye Shuyun loved it, he too felt the same way.

This cat was not only smart and gorgeous looking, it was also clean, potty-trained and well behaved. Besides that, it was well-versed in flirting for human attention.

"And her, has she returned?" Ye Shuyun asked quietly.

"Yeah, she's back." Lu Yi turned and glanced behind at the door that was shut. She would not wake up for another few hours so she should sleep a little while longer.

"Son, can we come and visit you two?"

Ye Shuyun did not dare bring this up to her son. Before, she had really wanted her son to get married, but no matter what he just wouldn't. Now that he was married, she instead felt that it was unreal. Because it truly was way too unreal that her son actually married Yan Huan.

That newly born national goddess who was young and beautiful. Now she knew why her son had went and invested in films, it was all for her. She also realized why her son would spend so much money, it was also all for her.

If that was truly the case, Yan Huan has saved the entire Ye family, not to mention the fate of her son.

"Come over tomorrow then." Lu Yi thought about it. Eventually they will have to meet, and while his parents are currently still at home. Even an ugly daughter-in-law will have to face her parents-in-law eventually.

"Also," Lu Yi continued and asked, "Grandfather called, did he need anything?"

"I don't know about it." Ye Shuyun was clueless, but perhaps Lu Jin may know something, although he was reluctant to tell her. Saying that there was no point for her to know, and anyway it could only be those few things when the old man looks for Lu Yi.

Except that it was a little odd for him to constantly pestering Lu Yi.

Forget it, tomorrow I'm going to go meet my daughter-in-law first.

She hung up the phone and rushed to Lu Jin's side, frantically tugging at his sleeve.

"What now, we are going to meet our daughter-in-law tomorrow, what do you think we should get for her?"

Lu Jin's arm was shaking from being wrung about. He twitched his mouth, his face was as sullen as Lu Yi's, with few facial expressions. He looked to be in his forties, maybe even younger as he had dyed his hair so that no white hair was showing. His appearance could be described as a handsome middle-aged uncle, he was not balding nor did he have a beer belly. In fact, his back was as straight as a ruler.

To think about it, this was probably what Lu Yi would look like when he reaches Lu Jin's age.

"Why are you worried about this? It's just like how an ugly daughter-in-law would eventually have to face her parents-in-law, but you've got it the other way around, the ugly-parents-in-law have to face their daughter-in-law."

"I am nervous."

Ye Shuyun was nervous, although she had not wanted it to be so. "You don't know, she's my idol. I am a fan of hers, I wanted to have a daughter like her, but I could only bear a son. What do you say now that she had became our daughter-in-law, even I still can't believe it. Oh God, my head is spinning..."

Lu Jin quickly held on to Ye Shuyun, "You're crazy, usually young girls would idolize a star, you're an old lady, why are you still idolizing stars?"

The moment he said the words, old lady Ye Shuyun's face darkened.

For women, age was a touchy subject, and it was the same for women of all ages. When she was 18 years old, she liked it when people would say that she is 18 years old. When she was 28 years old, she would also like to be 18 years old. When she is 48 years old, similarly, she would still like for people to say that she is 18 years old.

Currently, Ye Shuyun was approximately 48 years old. She had always maintained her appearance properly, her body figure was also not bad. She was not fat, she had nice skin and she was also good at dressing up herself. Although she may not look like an 18 year old, she could definitely pass for a 38 year old.

Right now, she was being called an old lady. And it made her want to resort to domestic violence.

At the same time in Lu Yi's room, Yi Ling was constantly looking down at her fingers, like a child who had done something wrong. It was her first time doing something naughty yet she ended up getting caught by others.

Yan Huan was holding a cup and drinking milk from it. Half was hers and another half was Lu Yi's.
