Chapter 825 - Marriage Application
Chapter 825: Marriage Application
Yan Huan opened her heavy eyes.
She accepted the pen and signed her name on it. She did not ask Lu Yi what she had signed. She was sure that based on Lu Yi’s character, he would definitely not sell her off.
Once again, Lu Yi pulled her hands out of the quilt. Then, he pulled her finger over and pressed it on something.
“What did you let me sign? ” Yan Huan asked in a daze. Although she was not completely awake, she still had some rationality. She was not a fool. Even if she was not as smart as Lu Yi, she was not too dumb herself.
“Marriage application.”
Lu Yi kept the documents and tucked her in. He was prepared to get it certified later.
The members of the Lu family never had the thought of divorcing. Even if he had gone through the divorce, he would marry her again. He sat down and picked up a pillow. Then, he slid the pillow properly behind her to prevent her from having a stiff neck when she wakes up tomorrow.
Yan Huan curled up into herself, but she could still sense the man’s presence next to her; just like before. It still made her feel relieved and calm.
So, after running in circles, they finally got back together again.
She had lived for two lives. Perhaps this was what she had actually wanted to pursue. She wanted to catch up with his pace, his shadow. She would follow his shadows; she would go wherever he went.
They got together because of love.
It was also because of love that they had to separate.
If they could get together once more because of love, why not?
Yan Huan was a woman who was easily appeased, but she also had an aggressive side. Meanwhile, Lu Yi was extremely fortunate that she did not get into a dead end because this matter. Or else, she really did not know how to pull herself out from the dead end.
After all, Yan Huan was too stubborn.
When Lu Yi came home, Yan Huan was already busy in the kitchen. At this moment, she was making dumplings in her cartoon apron. The dumplings were shrimp-flavored. They were Lu Yi’s favorite; it was hers too.
Upon recalling the dumplings’ taste, Lu Yi could not help but to swallow his saliva.
He kept the documents in a safe in his house. This time, nobody else could force them to divorce, even Yan Huan or himself.
He walked into the kitchen and washed his hands. He then made dumplings together with Yan Huan.
“Your cooking skills are better than before.” Yan Huan could sense that. Lu Yi had known how to cook in the past, but it was nothing astounding. He made sure that the food was cooked, but the taste of the food ranged from being delicious to unpalatable. In other words, it was merely edible and filling. However, it did not look appetizing.
However, presently, his cooking skills had improved. In fact, he could be considered skillful. For instance, wrapping dumplings. The dumplings that he made in the past were disfigured. He could win fights against gangsters, beat up scoundrels and catch thieves; but he could not wrap dumplings well.
Maybe he did not exert his strength properly. Every dumpling he made was not delicious and it would disintegrate upon cooking. However, his technique had improved. The dumplings that he wrapped looked nice.
“Yeah, I have been making dumplings in River Xun.”
Lu Yi was not willing to elaborate about his life in River Xun. Meanwhile, Yan Huan would pout every time he mentioned the term ‘River Xun’. “Making dumplings for another woman? She must be quite influential.”
Lu Yi reached out to stroke her head. He explained, “At that time, I just woke up and was in a complete muddle. Then, I was clear-headed but I could not recall anything. I also did not know that what can I do. I didn’t even have an identity certificate. So, I could only get a meager salary by doing odd-jobs.”
“And…” He tucked her messy hair behind her ears. “Don’t worry. Nothing happened between Sun Yuhan and me, from the beginning to the end.” This was what he felt most thankful for. Whether or not he regained his memory, he had been keeping a safe distance between him and Sun Yuhan. The boundary between them had always been cautiously maintained with great respect; he had never crossed the line. Even if he had promised to marry Sun Yuhan, nothing had ever happened between them.
“After that, we had an accident on that day…” he spoke. He was explaining to Yan Huan instead of bringing up the past. He knew that Yan Huan would have a chip on her shoulder if he did not explain himself properly. This matter would become a barrier between them. Even after a long time, when they both thought that they had forgotten about it, the matter would still exist; whether they liked it or not.
“Sun Yuhan pushed me away,” he continued as he continued to wrap the dumplings. “Her legs suffered from a severe bone fracture. The doctor even said that she might have to amputate her legs. All of this happened because of me. After consulting a few orthopaedic specialists, she had to undergo a surgery on her legs. As for the outcome of the surgery, it could be good, or she might still require to go through an amputation.”
“Sun Yuhan refused to go through the surgery. She could not bear with the fact that she might have to amputate her legs. She wanted me to promise her that, if she agreed to do this surgery, I have to…”
“Marry her?” Yan Huan answered for him. Although Yan Huan felt that the act of cornering someone into marriage was very disgraceful, she could understand the thought process of a woman who was desperately clutching onto her one and only saving grace. Naturally, she would not want to let go of it.
“Yes.” Lu Yi put a dumpling on the plate. “My memory had not fully recovered yet, so I agreed. After all, there was a direct link between the injuries on Sun Yuhan’s legs and me.”
Yan Huan made a dumpling and put hers beside Lu Yi’s before comparing them.
Lu Yi did make a good dumpling. She had suffered for the past two years, so did Lu Yi. He, as a prosecutor, was an extremely influential figure in Sea City. Unexpectedly, he had to become a house-husband for two years.
If this news were to be exposed to the public, nobody would believe it. However, everything was fine; it was really fine.
He was still here. He was still alive.
She turned around to start the stove and waited for the water to boil.
Meanwhile, her body was suddenly wrapped into a warm embrace from behind.
Yan Huan held his big hands that were wrapped around her waist tightly and pulled herself closer to him.
“Actually, I’m not that angry. After all…” She pinched Lu Yi’s fingers. I am very grateful to God. “You are now standing right in front of me. You are alive. What’s that got to do with the things that happened throughout these two years?”
“Thank you,” Lu Yi rested his chin on Yan Huan’s shoulder and breathed in her scent. She had a breathtaking appearance, but she truly had an aggressive character.
Yan Huan lifted the pot lid and put the dumplings inside one by one. She then waited for them to be cooked.
