Sweet Wife in My Arms

She filled another bowl of rice for Yan Huan, who took it over and ate it with chopsticks. She was still hungry. The first and biggest change that she experienced after she got pregnant was the increase in her appetite. She could not help it. The housekeeper said that it was very common as she was not only eating for herself. The babies in her belly needed nutrients as well. If she did not have enough nutrients, how were the babies supposed to grow? If it was not because of her surprisingly big appetite, her belly would not have grown so big.

Therefore, those who had never become a mother before would never know how difficult it was during the 10 months of pregnancy.

Yan Huan almost ate all the dishes on the table. Even Lu Yi dare not steal the food, he only ate the leftover dishes after she finished eating.

After finishing her meal, Yan Huan opened the door and went out to the garden for a walk, putting her hand on her stomach which was as big as a watermelon. She wanted to boost her digestion as well as take in some fresh air. She touched her belly while walking, looking as if she was talking to her babies. She had gotten rid of all her impetuosity and arrogance, and became much purer and simpler now.

All her attention went to her unborn babies and she could not care less about anything else. She wished for them to grow faster and be safely born and that they could grow up healthily in the future.

Lu Yi stood at the door and remained silent. Yan Huan did not show interest in talking to him at all.

Lu Yi frowned slightly as he stared at Yan Huan's belly. Her belly has become so much bigger in a month. But why is her belly the only part that has become bigger? She didn't gain weight on her face and other parts of her body at all, unlike others who gain a lot of weight during pregnancy. She ate so much every day but where does the nutrient go? Did the babies really absorb all the nutrients and she didn't get any nutrients at all?

Then, they stared at each other in consternation. Yan Huan grabbed the snacks near her and started to eat.

Was she going to eat again after her meal just now?

Lu Yi did not know much about Yan Huan's current living habits. Actually, even Yan Huan had only started getting used to it recently, let alone Lu Yi. She must have four or five meals a day. Sometimes she would wake up for a bite in the middle of the night.

Lu Yi reached out his palm and put it on her head, but Yan Huan lowered her head and did not pay attention to him.

"Let's go home." He could not help but worry about her if she continued to stay here. There were many people who could take care of her at home. For instance, Ye Shuyun, Mother Lei, as well as Yi Ling who had experience of giving birth before, and also some professional doctors. It would be better for her to stay at home instead of staying here.

"No!" Yan Huan rejected him firmly.

"You will kill my babies!" She pulled over the blanket, putting it on her belly as she covered it up.

"I won't." Lu Yi stroked her hair gently. "I never said anything about abortion. Where did you hear it from? Miss Yan, you're an actress. When have you become so imaginative?"

Yan Huan was unable to come back to her senses. Could it be that she really has turned dull because of pregnancy?

"I've clearly heard it when you were talking to He Yibin. You were talking about killing my babies." She clutched the blanket in a tight grip, so tight that she could feel the pain on her fingers.

As expected, Lu Yi knew that she overheard their conversations.

He pressed the middle of his brows slightly, feeling a slight pain in his forehead. He then helped her to tidy up her messy hair. She was still pretty even though her hair was messy.

"Have you ever heard that I agree with it?" He questioned Yan Huan as he did not recall saying the word 'agree' from the beginning until the end of the conversation. Did she really think that he would simply give up his own children because of what He Yibin said?

Yan Huan's mind went blank for a moment. No, he didn't. It was true that he had never said anything from the beginning until the end of the conversation. He remained silent and did not say anything else. Most of the words she heard were actually from He Yibin.

He just said that he understood. But the word 'understood' merely indicated that he comprehended it, it did not necessarily mean that he agreed with He Yibin.

"Don't worry," Lu Yi answered her in a serious tone, word by word. Then, he tucked her in the blanket.

"I've never thought of aborting any one of them. I've talked to the experts. Regardless of anyhow or anyone, nobody has the authority to decide one's death with a simple sentence."

As for now, he could not blame her. However, he still needed to teach her a lesson. "Do you know how dangerous it is for you to do so? If you simply left without saying anything, the babies are probably going to get hurt in the end."

Yan Huan pulled over the blanket and lay in bed. She turned over gently and kept silent. She did not admit her mistake as she was ashamed. She only trusted herself.

"Huanhuan, you have to trust me." Lu Yi walked over and sat in front of her.

"I'm the person closest to you. No matter what happens, I will never hurt you."

"You don't want me to abort the babies?" Yan Huan sniffled and asked if he would hurt her babies.

"No, I promise," Lu Yi replied.

"You swear?" Yan Huan still doubted him.

"I swear," Lu Yi answered accordingly.

"So, anything else?"

"And..." Yan Huan blinked her eyes as she was tired.

"Hmm... and I want to sleep."

After that, she pulled her blanket upward, closed her eyes and fell asleep. Lu Yi sat by her side. He was finally relieved after a month. He remained the same posture and stared at her without blinking his eyes. He was afraid that she would leave him again and go to a place where they could not find her.

He took out his mobile phone and called someone.

"Mom, it's me. Don't worry, I've found her. She's fine, so are the babies."

He reached out his hand and put it on Yan Huan's slightly messy hair while making the call. He could not help but curl the corners of his lips into a small smile. He had become thinner, but she still looked the same. No, her belly became bigger.

He put his hand on her belly across the blanket, he could feel the curve on her belly. It was bigger compared to a month ago. He felt like it was more than doubled in size.

There were two babies here, and they were his children. No matter what happened, he could not bear to lose any of them, just like Yan Huan.

When Yan Huan opened her eyes again, Lu Yi was still there, leaning on the chair with his eyes tightly closed. She never noticed that he was way thinner compared to a month ago. His cheek had sunken and his brows were always tightly knitted together. His eyes were full of fine red veins.
