Sweet Wife in My Arms

Lu Yi stopped the car and stroked his little daughter's cheek carefully. She was sound asleep and was much better looking than her two brothers. There was a close resemblance to Yan Huan, especially when she puckered her little lips. However, when she smiled, her eyes would look like two beautiful crescent moons. Her long eyelashes made her seem doll-like, and it made one wonder where she inherited her two dimples from. Nonetheless, it made her lovelier.

At this very moment, Yan Huan was sitting by the table drinking herbal soup. She had not much of a role to play in taking care of the babies at home as Ye Shuyun was constantly attending to the two baby boys, mainly because they were tame and easy- going. They were already sound asleep, and when they slept, they would go into an uninterrupted deep sleep for about five to six hours. As they slept, they were unlikely to be awakened by anyone.

The door opened, and Lu Yi carried a baby in.

Ye Shuyun stood up and pointed at the baby in Lu Yi's arms.

"Lu Yi, whose baby are you holding?"

Weren't both her grandsons already asleep? She couldn't believe her eyes and went over to check. Yes, they were indeed sleeping soundly in their cradle and snoring gently in slumberland.

Ye Shuyun ran out of the room. Lu Yi was still standing in the living room with the baby in his arms. She ran over to him and saw that there was indeed a beautiful child in his arms.

"Whose baby is this?" Ye Shuyun wondered as she reached out for the infant, and weighed her in her arms, "Why is she so light? Was she born very recently?"

Yan Huan put down her bowl and stood up. She walked over lightly toward the infant and gently touched her cheek.

Lu Yi walked next to Yan Huan and held her by the shoulders tightly.

"Your daughter."

"My daughter?" Yan Huan gawked, as her fingers quivered. She went blank for quite a while before recovering from the shock and reached out carefully for the tiny baby from Ye Shuyun's arms.

All of a sudden, her eyes blinked a few times. Then the tears at the corner of her eyes started to roll down along her cheek and chin, which then dripped onto the baby's little face.

The baby had such a close resemblance to her.

Yan Huan gently caressed the child's face. Perhaps it caused discomfort to the baby, for she then twitched her pink little lips while grabbing her tiny shirt. Her long eyelashes blinked several times, and yet she remained asleep.

This was… her daughter?

She raised her head and looked questioningly at Lu Yi.

This was her daughter, but how could this be her daughter? However, the feeling she got from the infant in her arms was identical to Lu Qi and Lu Guang. This feeling of blood connection could not be wrong.

Lu Yi carefully touched his daughter's little face, "She is Xunxun. Grandfather nicknamed her that. Her official name is Lu Wei, and she is our daughter. You were pregnant with triplets instead of twins. So, when Xunxun was born, she was too small. Weighing less than two pounds, she was kept in the incubator for two months. That's how she grew." He did not spare further details because there were many dangerous incidents in between. There were a few times when Xunxun completely lost her breath. For her to pull through was a rare case.

Yan Huan carefully held her daughter tightly and gently pressed her face against her baby's tender cheeks.

"Thank you, thank you…" She did not know who she was saying it to. Was she thanking herself, Lu Yi or the Heavens?

This child was like her lost daughter in her past life. That's right, it must be. In this life, she must take good care of her daughter.

She could not say a word as she was tearing up.

Ye Shuyun was dumbfounded.

Gosh, triplets! Also a granddaughter, her little granddaughter.

"Has my granddaughter returned?" Lu Jin strode in from outside. As he stepped in, he was impatiently looking for his granddaughter. Originally, he wanted to visit her at the hospital, but he was informed that Xunxun has been discharged and sent home.

"You knew it all along and didn't inform me?" Ye Shuyun pinched Lu Jin at his waist sharply.

"Isn't it the same that you know now?" Lu Jin did not want to worry her. Before this, Xunxun almost gave in to death a few times. To have this little life rescued was indeed rare.

Finally, what turned out to be a little mouse of fewer than two pounds had transformed into a fair and tender baby.

Yan Huan carefully cradled the child from her bosom to Ye Shuyun. Although she wanted to nestle her daughter for a little while, she knew that Ye Shuyun wanted to hold her granddaughter too. On the other hand, Lu Jin kept sweating because of his nervousness.

"Yeah, she looks like Huanhuan." Ye Shuyun was astonished the moment she saw her granddaughter's looks.

She was truly like Yan Huan, her little complexion was delicate. It was such a huge contrast when compared to the other two boys who were well-fed and fast asleep. This one's dainty and feminine. Truly beautiful.

The Lu family was particularly fond of girls instead of boys. This was no surprise as it has been nearly two hundred years since they last had a girl. The birth of this child had officially broken the Lu family's curse of being unable to bear a baby girl for more than 100 years.

On top of that, this child was only delivered home after two months. No one knew about the existence of this child.

Old Master Lu smiled widely after seeing his granddaughter. Next, he reached for the drawer and took out a telephone book, flipping through it.

He passed the phone and began to dial.

"Hi, is this Xu Sr. This is Lu Sr.... On the ninth of next month, do pop by our home for the hundredth-day celebration of our grandchildren. What, twins? No, the doctor had diagnosed incorrectly.''"Ah…" He lowered his head and heaved a long sigh. "You mean, just one? Nah. If only it was just one, I could have worried less. But it was three. That's right… Triplets. Two boys and a little girl. My great-granddaughter is truly a beauty!"

Old Master Lu's eyes glistened and he was overjoyed at the same time. He then searched for the next number and dialed accordingly.

"Hi Old Chang, it's me here, Old Lu… given birth. Yes, already given birth. All thanks to your auspicious words. Everyone is in good hands. Oh right, your son isn't married? Don't worry, it's just a small matter. I do remember that your grandson is a few years younger than my Lu Yi. Lu Yi only had children when he turned thirty. He's getting married this year. By next year, you should be expecting a grandchild. Who knows? Maybe you would also get both grandson and granddaughter. Not to worry, now that they have grown a little, each one of them gibbers a lot. Haha… Not fraternal twins but triplets. Two boys and a girl. My granddaughter is very good-looking. Do come over to my house when we host the hundredth-day feast, you will get to see my little granddaughter."
