Chapter 827: A Nationwide Disgrace
He pinched his glabella and massaged his temples gently with his fingers. He then put his notebook aside before he lowered his head to have a look at the lady who was in a deep sleep.
She was always quiet when she fell asleep, she had always been like that.
He dimmed the lamp next to the bed and laid down on the bed next to her. Then, he reached out and hugged her gently. They could feel each other’s warmth; and each other’s breaths.
Then, he closed his eyes too and gradually fell asleep.
Perhaps he and Yan Huan were the same. It had been a while since they were able to sleep peacefully.
When Yan Huan opened her eyes, it was already dawn. She reached out to her side to feel the remnants of his warmth on the bed. It was still slightly warm. Evidently, Lu Yi had just left not long ago. There was a note beside the pillow.
Lu Yi still had the same habits as before. He used to leave notes instead of sending messages or contacting her via WeChat.
“I’m off to work now. Breakfast is ready. Heat it up yourself before eating it.”
Yan Huan hugged the blanket, happy that the blanket was still filled with his scent. This was real, he was back. Her Lu Yi had come back. She did not care about the past, neither would she talk about it anymore.
If she was given a chance to choose again, her choice would always be the same.
She walked out of the room. There was a covered plate of food on the table. She touched the plate, realizing that it was still warm. She sat down and removed the cover from the plate. She then started to eat it with chopsticks.
It was a dish from River Xun, but it had the taste of local cuisines. Perhaps it was because Lu Yi had lived there for two years; thus, the dishes that he cooked now carried the taste from that place.
She had actually eaten the dishes from River Xun for quite a while and it suited her taste. This seemed great. She did not have to go to River Xun now as she could enjoy authentic River Xun dishes in the comfort of her own home; especially since there was a chef at home who could make authentic tasting River Xun dishes.
She did not eat much. However, she ate her breakfast respectfully and finished the whole plate. She changed her clothes and decided to go back to the Classical Garden. She was not sure whether Old Master Lu would kill her for not going back home for a few days.
She bundled herself up with a coat. She looked thin and frail. Even if she wore loose clothing, she still looked pitifully thin and seemed rather vulnerable.
This was why people always said that skinny people looked better in clothes. This was because they would not look fat and swollen even when they wore thick layers of clothing during winter.
She took out her phone and took a selfie of herself in front of the mirror. As a matter of fact, the best actress, Miss Yan still had the elegance from her younger days. Her beauty was comparable to the young actresses.
Besides, she was not really that old, right?
She posed cutely in front of the mirror and sent it to Lu Yi.
At this moment, Lu Yi was listening to his secretary’s report. His phone chimed consequently. He took out his phone and gestured for his secretary to pause for a minute, who immediately stopped speaking. His eyes were trying hard to glimpse at Lu Yi’s phone screen. Based on the situation from the past, Prosecutor Lu would never return any messages when he was working. This was an exception. Whose message could it be? Was it a woman? Could it possibly be a woman?
Lu Yi stood up all of a sudden, startling his secretary who almost fell backward. Lu Yi had no choice but to reach out to grab his collar and dust off his clothes. “If you are hungry, go and grab some food, I bet you must be starving. ”
The secretary was taken aback.
Prosecutor, if you want to go out, you can just say so. There is no point for you to drop hints like this. He had no choice but to leave hesitantly. Meanwhile, Lu Yi leaned against the table, and held the phone out in front of him.
He unlocked the phone, and a photo popped up in his messages.
It was from Yan Huan.
Undoubtedly, she was truly deserving of the ‘best actress’ title. Even though she was wearing a simple coat, she wore it with great style. As a conclusion, she was just simply gorgeous.
“How is it?” Yan Huan sent him a message again.
“Hmm.” Lu Yi replied with a single word.
“What does ‘Hmm’ mean? ” Yan Huan glared at her phone. She fixed her hair, and put on a hat as she was ready to go out.
“Nothing?” Lu Yi smiled. The corner of his mouth curled up, “You look better naked.”
Yan Huan was stunned, her pale cheeks blushing immediately.
She threw her phone into her bag hastily and shut the door.
She was driving for a short while before she bumped into someone whom she had not met for a long time.
Sun Yuhan? Where is she going?
Yan Huan frowned. Sun Yuhan was walking right ahead. She was dressed in branded items from top to toe; her hair was also dyed in this season’s trendiest color. She looked more fashionable than before, and of course, she looked prettier.
However, why is she not with Lu Qin? Why is she headed toward the direction of the Ye family?
Perhaps she had figured it out. Yan Huan let out a sigh of relief. She once again tidied up her hair, and continue to drive her car.
Of course, she did not let the matter of Sun Yuhan get to her since it was something that could ruin her mood. She would not do that. In fact, she was absolutely not interested in any matters relating to Lu Qin.
What she did not know was that Sun Yuhan was indeed heading to the Ye family. Evidently, the person whom she was looking for was indeed from the Ye family.
Yan Huan parked her car at the gate of the Classical Garden. She then went in.
Old Master Lu saw her coming. He opened his eyes lazily as he asked, “Where have you been?”
“Where…? I did not go anywhere.” Yan Huan lied to him. Evidently, she was shameless enough to lie without blinking, or even faintly flushed.
She was too ashamed to tell him that, I stayed with your grandson and did whatever couples do. She was a prideful person; and she was willing to hide her marriage with Lu Yi once again. If someone were to find out about it, she would feel as if she was a nationwide disgrace.
“Hmph… ” Old Master Lu stood up and ignored Yan Huan. However, when he turned around again, he pointed at the shoes on his feet. “Get me a few pairs of these, I have no more shoes to wear.”
Yan Huan lowered her head and stared at Old Master Lu’s shoes. It still looked brand new. It did not look like it needed to be changed. In addition, he had two pairs of it. How could it be that he had no more shoes to wear? It was obvious that he wanted to hoard it, but this was not food.
“Did you hear me?” Old Master Lu seemed to be embarrassed as his lies had been revealed. He immediately raised his voice; he was in complete anger. It looked as if he would explode anytime now and yell at anyone in his sight.
“I hear you,” Yan Huan replied nonchalantly. She then turned around and was ready to go back to her room.
