Sweet Wife in My Arms

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the wind kissing her face, as if a soft feather was caressing her gently. It was so comfortable.

In the blink of an eye, the beauty has turned old, and her face had shriveled.

Soon after, when she opened her eyes again, she found that her body was covered by a coat. It had a familiar smell, like the scent of freshly-washed cotton. However, it did not smell pure as it used to be. She sat up and stared down at the coat. It was black, which was one of the most common colors. The coat was very soft as it was made from wool. Yan Huan was not unfamiliar this coat. It was custom tailored for Lu Yi according to his height and waistline when she was shooting a movie in a foreign country. It was Lu Yi's favorite all along. He even insisted on wearing this throughout the winter months, leaving all of his other coats untouched in the wardrobe. As a result, many of them had never been worn by him.

She bundled up the coat and put it aside.

Then, she fixed her clothes before turning around to leave.

Soon after, Lu Yi came around again and picked up his coat. He then shook his head lightly.

She was still bad tempered as before.

"So? She's not there again?"

Old Master Lu rolled his eyes at his grandson. "You have to endure the consequences yourself since you made the wrong choice."

Lu Yi buttoned up his shirt. "Grandpa, when did you start to like her? You used to treat her badly."

"It's none of your business," Old Master Lu snorted coldly. He had the liberty to hate or like anyone. Do I need someone else to decide that for me?

Lu Yi did not want to argue with Old Master Lu. Therefore, he straightened his clothes before going out.

Old Master Lu rapped on the table with his knuckles. "Don't you come over tomorrow."

Lu Yi paused in his steps and remained silent.

Yan Huan was balancing a load of items in her arms as she walked toward a bungalow. Then, she freed a hand to knock on the door. Soon, someone came over to open the door. Once the person saw that it was Yan Huan, they let her in at once.

Yan Huan walked inside and took off her shoes at the doorway. She did not put on any slippers, instead choosing to go inside bare-footed. It was not chilly outside, but it was much warmer inside. The floor was layered with a thick carpet. At this moment, a young chubby girl walked out, swaying left and right. The little girl sped up happily when she saw Yan Huan.

She threw herself into Yan Huan's arm and raised her little face. Her chubby face was so bouncy and tender, her eyes were round and big, and her tiny lips were ruddy. She was such a pretty girl!

"Au... Aun..."

The little girl opened her mouth and tried to say something, but what she managed was just two syllables that sounded like 'Aunt'.

Nevertheless, Yan Huan knew what she was trying to say.

Yan Huan picked up the chubby little girl. Only then did she notice that the little girl had put on some weight. She pinched the little girl's face as she spoke, "Mengmeng, did you miss me?"

"Yes!" As if to emphasize her point, the little girl nodded her little head vigorously. Perhaps the girl liked beautiful women too, so she liked Yan Huan very much.

"Oh, she missed you very much as she loves beautiful things! She really likes your face," Liang Chen laughed as she walked out with a bottle in her hand.

The little girl extended her chubby hands, wordlessly asking her mother to pick her up when she saw the feeding bottle.

"It's feeding time!"

Liang Chen put aside the feeding bottle and picked up her daughter before tucking the feeding bottle into her little hands. The little girl had fair skin and was very good-looking. Such a pretty child must have inherited her mother's beauty.

As she drank, her long eyelashes quivered slightly, making them look like shimmering stars due to the light reflecting off of them. Children were indeed adorable, as they must be little angels from the heavens.

Yan Huan followed her into the living room and sat down, reaching out to play with the girl's little feet. They were chubby as well. It seemed like she was chubby everywhere, and there was not a skinny part on her body.

Liang Chen asked Yan Huan, "Don't you want to return to your acting career? Won't you feel sad seeing those newcomers approach your level gradually?"

"How about you?" Yan Huan did not answer her, but replied with a question. "Were you sad when you met me back then?"

"Yes," Liang Chen admitted as she pinched her daughter's chubby face, before giving it a kiss. "How could I not? I was about to be replaced by you. I wanted to kick you off the crew. But after coming to the revelation that an old actress like me would be replaced sooner or later, someone else would take my place, even if it wasn't you. Well, I'm quite satisfied with you. Luckily I didn't kick you off the crew back then. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to lead a peaceful life now. And it wouldn't be possible for me to have such an adorable daughter!"

The little girl did realize that her mother was talking about her, so her mouth widened to a smile. She was just a little over one year old. Other than her pretty appearance, she was smart and lovable. She had also learned to walk and talk recently, and started to bite her little hands.

Liang Chen played with her daughter for awhile, but the little girl was tired. She rubbed her eyes and curled up in her mother's embrace.

Yan Huan knew what a child's schedule looked like, therefore she knew that the girl must have gotten sleepy after drinking milk. Then, she would fall asleep for a long time. Children are usually asleep more than they are awake. Liang Chen wanted to play with the little girl for a little while, but the toddler was too tired.

Therefore, Liang Chen brought the little girl into the bedroom and covered her with a blanket, before returning to the living room.

How much a woman could change depended on the person who was changing her.

Perhaps even Liang Chen herself never imagined that she would give up on her passion and turn into a good wife and loving mother, holding her daughter everyday, showering her with an unlimited amount of love.

When she came out again, Yan Huan was holding a cup while staring out of the window in a trance, not knowing what she was gazing at. It was March right now, but the flowers had yet to blossom, so there was nothing to see and to think about.

"Did she sleep?" Yan Huan asked Liang Chen. Every time she visited, the little girl would be sleeping. But she was lucky today as she managed to play with her for awhile.

"Yes. She spends a lot of time sleeping every day. Basically, she would sleep right after eating." Thinking of her fair and chubby daughter, Liang Chen's heart melted like marshmallows in hot chocolate.

"By the way, your name is cleared." Liang Chen picked up the cup and brought it to her lips. She turned her eyes to wherever Yan Huan was staring at, but there was nothing there. Perhaps there was something that Yan Huan could see, but not her.

"I know."

As if Yan Huan cared much about this. It did not matter to her whether her name was cleared or not, as she did not plan to go back to showbiz.
