Sweet Wife in My Arms

He was quite sensitive with numbers. He would not forget any number as long as he had contacted the person before. Although he could not recall exactly whose number it was, he was quite certain that he knew that person.

He put the phone next to his ear again, but the call had been disconnected.

Before long, his phone rang again. Luckily, he had put his phone on silent. Otherwise, Yan Huan would have already been woken up by the ringtone. Furthermore, it had not been 10 minutes since she fell asleep.

The number displayed on the phone was the same number from before, the number he remembered, but could not recall whom it belonged to.

There were only two possible situations where this would happen.

. 

The person was either an acquaintance or someone he hated.

He did not know which situation he was in. More precisely, he did not know who the person was.

“Who are you?”

Right after he answered the call, Lu Yi asked with a nonchalant tone. He had seen this number for multiple times, and now he only wanted to find out who that person was.

“I am…”

Su Qingdong did not know how to introduce himself. Should he say that he was Yan Huan’s enemy, and he needed Yan Huan’s blood to save his daughter now? Or, should he cut to the chase and say that he wanted Yan Huan’s blood?

This person on the other end sounds familiar.

Is he…

Lu Yi?

“Is this Lu Yi?” Su Qingdong asked carefully. As he was very nervous just now, he failed to recognize Lu Yi’s voice. However, now that he had recomposed himself, he knew that the person was none other than Lu Yi. Save her manager, Lu Yi was the only person who could take Yan Huan’s phone. On top of that, the person on the other end was a man. It did not take Su Qingdong much effort to figure out the identity of the person, the answer was buried in his subconscious. In the public’s eyes, Yan Huan had always had a good reputation as she was never involved in any scandal. She did not bother to lay an eye on the myriad world. She remained innocent and loyal. Both her eyes and her mind had always been fixed only on Lu Yi.

“I’m Lu Yi.” Lu Yi leaned to one side, his legs crossed.

“Anything?”

“I’m…” Su Qingdong briefly gritted his teeth before he continued, “I’m Su Qingdong. Lu Yi, something has happened to my daughter. Right now, they are trying to resuscitate her at the hospital. You and Yan Huan have the same blood type as her. At this moment, the blood bank doesn’t have sufficient blood and they don’t have the type of blood my daughter needs. Lu Yi, I don’t need too much. I only need a little bit of blood from you and Yan Huan, then my daughter can be saved.”

Neither did Lu Yi answer him, nor he wanted to answer him.

Even after Su Qingdong finished his words in one breath, Lu Yi did not utter a word.

“Lu Yi,” Su Qingdong called Lu Yi’s name again. “Please come to the hospital now. My daughter really needs your blood.”

Lu Yi leaned his body slightly forward.

“Mister Su.”

At the balcony, he took a deep breath of the fresh air. His voice was laced with a hint of coldness.

“How are we linked to your daughter? Why do we need to donate our blood to her? Also, why does she need both of our blood?”

He wanted to know what right did Su Qingdong think he had to make such a request. He thinks of Yan Huan and I as Su Muran’s pet, and expects us to be there whenever Su Muran needs us.

When I was in need of blood, did Su Muran donate her blood to me? Is he taking advantage of us just because Yan Huan and I appear amiable? Do we really have to provide our blood to Su Muran? Then, do we need to give our lives to Su Muran?

Su Qingdong was still mumbling when Lu Yi hung up. Then, he returned to his room.

Yan Huan was still asleep. She was just as skinny as usual, all skins and bones. Yet, they said that she looked the best like this on the camera.

Set aside looking good on the camera, as long as she could grow some meat, Lu Yi would be extremely thankful. It was very difficult for Yan Huan to gain weight.

He grabbed his clothes and put them on, expecting to receive another call soon.

He was right. The phone rang again before he could finish buttoning up his shirt. This time, the call came from Ye Chuji.

Why would uncle call me? Lu Yi did not expect to receive a call from Ye Chuji of all people. Logically speaking, Ye Chuji could not be bothered by such matters. Why is he calling?

Perhaps, Ye Chuji is calling for something else, but not for Su Muran.

“Lu Yi, it’s your uncle.” Ye Chuji did not sound good. He sounded weary and irritated.

“Uncle, what’s up?” Lu Yi worte Yan Huan a note and placed it by her bed. Then, he carefully opened the door and left the room.

“Sigh…” Ye Chuji heaved a sigh of absolute disappointment. He had cleaned up tons of messy situations for that outsider, but it was not enough. He had to continue to bail the girl out. His sister was undoubtedly a well-behaved and considerate girl. How did she give birth to such a troublemaker?

“Now, Sun Yuhan and the daughter of the Su family are in the hospital. Sun Yuhan’s situation is not that bad, but Su Muran is in the hot seat. She has the same blood type as you, and she needs your blood now. I understand that you’re unwilling to save her, so am I. However, I’ve checked the surveillance system, the video they took at the set. Su Muran is stuck in this situation only because Sun Yuhan accidently pulled her off the wire. Her well being certainly doesn’t bother us, but it involves both the Ye family and the Su family. The Su family and Lu family have already been arch-enemies since the very beginning. If the Su family decides to bite on this and not let go, the Ye family will be in big trouble. If they can’t keep Su Muran alive, considering how protective your grandfather is toward Sun Yuhan, no one knows what he will do to the Su family.”

“This is not some minor issue that can be settled with pennies. Su Muran is the only child of the Su family. No matter how wealthy the Ye family is, they can’t afford to bear the consequences of cutting off their network.”

“Even if that happens, the Su family, for first, will not let Sun Yuhan off the hook. Although the Su family doesn’t have a family business as strong as the Ye family, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Who knows if the ancestors of the Su family left some a trump card for them, just like the Ye family and Lu family. I suppose that the Su family will not allow Sun Yuhan to go without being punished even if they have to wreak havoc.”

Ye Chuji did not care whether Sun Yuhan could stay alive. He had his mind all on Ye Jianguo. Judging from how Ye Jianguo cosseted Sun Yuhan, this incident had certainly given Ye Jianguo a good scare.

Therefore, Sun Yuhan should not die.

Su Muran’s life was even more precious.

“I understand. I’m going there right now.” Lu Yi kept his phone before he strode out. He knew this issue would not be resolved easily. The Su family would do everything they could to keep Su Muran alive. It was true.

When he arrived at the hospital, the medical staff were trying to resuscitate Su Muran and Sun Yuhan. Su Muran was suffering from severe blood loss, and her head had violently hit the ground. Meanwhile, they were not clear about Sun Yuhan’s condition yet. She might appear to be fine, but in fact, she was badly injured, and apparently was in a more critical condition than Su Muran.
