Chapter 313 : Things Will Be Fine Lu Yi squinted. He was a little disagreeable and it was a warning.
“Yan Huan, don’t play with fire.”
Of course Yan Huan knew she was playing with fire. Teasing and seducing a man in front of him, any normal man would have pounced on her a long time ago. But Lu Yi didn’t. Even though he very much wanted to, he had a limit. His rationality was unimaginably scary at times.
She extended her hand before hugging his neck tightly. She then lifted her face and buried it on his shoulders.
“Lu Yi...”
“Yes?” Lu Yi lightly tapped her shoulders. They were almost on top of one another now. Just a little more and a spark might emerge and the situation would go out of hand. But they didn’t do anything. This wasn’t a good place nor the right time for it.
“Do you not want to try? It is my first time,” she didn’t think the fire was strong enough and her voice was so soft that it almost stirred something in his heart.
“Yan Huan!” Lu Yi’s clenched his jaw.
He then carried Yan Huan up and threw her into Yi Ling’s room.
With a bang, he closed the door.
Yan Huan laid sprawled on the bed as she gnawed on the pillow.
She flipped around on the bed a few times before she touched her red lips. She still felt a slight tinge within her but it was a different feeling from the one Lu Qin had given her. Such a trembling and awakening of her soul, she had only experienced it from Lu Yi in both her lifetimes.
She wanted to try again but she knew it was impossible.
Lu Yi would definitely throw her out.
In actual fact, she had no idea if she were to try again, whether Attorney Lu would be forced down by her. A man’s self-control is limited. Lu Yi is a man and there will come a time when his self-control breaks down.
However she doesn’t know this and of course, Lu Yi wasn’t about to tell her.
When Yi Ling and Luo Lin retuned, Yan Huan was long asleep. She was hugging the pillow and sleeping soundly.
Yi Ling covered the blanket over her as she nagged. “You are already so old but you still don’t know how to use a blanket. You were just like this when you were young, small and tender, you have always been this beautiful. Back then, you would still hug your doll to bed and look for your mother when you wake up. Now that you’re old, you have found a boyfriend for yourself too.”
She said a little despondingly, “Sigh, my kid has grown up and doesn’t need me anymore. Right, Mother Yan?”
“But don’t worry, I will help keep a watch over Huanhuan, she will not marry any random jerk. Not many people can match our Huanhuan but of course, Lu Yi is one of them.”
She touched her round stomach before taking a shower and rest for the night. When they wake up early tomorrow, they can prepare to go back home and earn more money. At the thought of them going back to take up endorsement with all the money entering into their pockets, she got too excited to fall asleep. When Yan Huan wasn’t famous, money wouldn’t come their way no matter what. Even in her dreams, money didn’t fall into her pocket. Now that Yan Huan was famous, money was falling everywhere even outside of her dreams. Even though it was cliché to bring up money, Yi Ling was just like anyone else.
What does everyone like? Of course it is money.
Hence, she wanted to earn more money, as much as she could. She wanted to buy a house, a car, good clothes. She wanted to drink soy milk every day, bowl by bowl. She wanted to eat seafood delicacies, splurge on clothing...
After that, even before she could spend all her money, she had fallen asleep.
The next morning, Yan Huan was already awake. No one was rushing her to go anywhere and her time was her own to manage. She could wake up whenever she wanted to but recently, she had been working from dawn to dusk. Hence, when she woke up it was already bright. She didn’t have a good sleep too and only Yi Ling was still in a deep sleep. She laid sprawled across the bed and it was unlikely that she would be awake now. Of course, Yan Huan wasn’t about to wake her.
When she went out, Lu Yi was already awake and he had placed breakfast on the table. This man was fantastic at getting around and even though it was his first day here yesterday, he already knew where to get breakfast.
Yan Huan touched her belly, after eating so much yesterday, she was still hungry this early.
“What are you looking at, go wash up and have breakfast.” Lu Yi came over and helped her with her messy hair. He then pushed her into the bathroom. He had already set up breakfast nicely, the chopsticks were placed neatly and when they came out, they could eat.
Yan Huan went into the bathroom. She hadn’t combed her hair, brush her teeth nor washed her face. She was a shabby woman. However, she still felt pretty; she had a likeable face.
After staring at herself in the mirror, she opened the tap and started brushing her teeth and washing her face. When she came out, she was refreshed. She was thinking if she could enjoy like this for the rest of her life, her life would be perfect. She stared quietly at him.
At this moment, he turned around and looked at her too. Even though he wasn’t smiling, one could make out streaks of happiness in his eyes.
Yan Huan ran over and hugged him at his waist. She buried her face in his embrace.
Lu Yi tapped her shoulder lightly. He wanted to push her away to eat first but she heard a quiet protest from her.
Were all women like this?
But Fang Zhu wasn’t.
Hence, men were more rational and less emotional.
Women are more emotional but less rational than men.
At the end of the day, in most cases, emotions outweigh rationale, rationale would never be above emotions.
It was time to eat. It almost seemed as if Lu Yi was cajoling a kid as he rubbed Yan Huan’s head.
Yan Huan lifted her face and didn’t look as if she was crying. But only she knew that in that moment, she really did not want to let go. She was afraid that if she did, she might not find it back. She was afraid that if she did, she was going to lose him.
She quietly ate her own portion: soy milk and dough fritters. They were her favorite and her mum used to make them for her. She ate them again recently and it was a similar taste, together with the longing that was slowly fading away.
Mum, do you believe it? I will be better in this life.
I will not be like my past life, ruining the life that you gave me. I will live well this time, forever.
She smiled but under her eyes, there were streaks of pain.
She placed one hand on her face.
Lifting her face, she smiled.
Lu Yi scratched her face, “Don’t think so much while eating. Eat more, say less, think less.”
