Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 320: Glass Ring

There was the taste of mum.

It was a taste in memory, a special taste from both her lives.

“If you want to eat in the future, I will get my mum to make some for you. You can have them any time, don’t cry now.” Lu Yi handed her a tissue to wipe her face dry. “Alright”, he patted her face. “Eat the dumplings. Once today is over, it will be a new year and your new movie will be released tomorrow. I will bring people to watch it.”

“Alright,” Yan Huan blew her nose as she agreed. She lowered her head to continue eating the dumplings.

This was indeed a dumpling made by a mum. Ye Shuyun had made them and it was her aunt in her previous life that made it. Despite staying at the Lu house for such a long time, she had no idea that Lu Yi’s mother whom she hates the most in the past was able to make dumplings just like the ones her mum used to make.

All the feelings were right.

All the tastes were right.

That’s right.

She almost finished the entire plate of dumplings and she loved the taste of it. It was delicious.

But what she liked even more was the mother and son that had made and delivered her the dumplings.

She really felt as if she was blind. In her past life, she had given her everything for Lu Qin and his mother only to lead a life for those few years that wasn’t human-like at all.

The sound of firecrackers sounded from outside again as Yan Huan sat on the balcony and watched the thousands of lights outside. The fireworks were being lighted up one by one too.

The fireworks burst in a short time but it left a permanent beauty in one’s heart.

Lu Yi stood behind her as he took off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. At this moment, he was only wearing a single t-shirt as he allowed the wind to blow. He didn’t budge at all.

He started tidying up her hair that had been messed up by the wind.

Yan Huan turned around and saw a smile etched on his face. His smile was filled with warmth.

This was the Lunar’s New Year and was one of the most warmth-filled ones that Yan Huan had experienced. She received many red packets and she got to eat dumplings that were like the ones that her mother made.

At night, Lu Yi only left after Yan Huan fell asleep. He gently closed the door as he took a look outside. The firecrackers had stopped and the sounds had faded. Another year passed.

At night, Yan Huan had a dream. She dreamt that she was little and was carrying a small plate. On the plate were the dumplings that her mum had made.

A young and pretty woman pinched her daughter’s face.

“Huanhuan, are the dumplings nice?”

“Yes,” Little Yan Huan nodded.

“Shall we make more to eat tomorrow?”

The little girl nodded hard again. With her bright and big eyes and her fat face, she looked almost the same as how Yan Huan looked now. Except there were no worries on that small face of hers that still had baby fat on the cheeks.

She was really innocent then. She was still under her mother’s wings and was fighting hard to grow up.

But when she grew up, everything changed.

Her mother is no longer around, the dumplings were no longer around.

Nothing was left.

“Huanhuan, wake up, wake up...”

A loud voice from a mad man sounded by her ear.

She opened her eyes and realized that the corner of her eyes was sour. She lifted her head at the familiar ceiling. It was a dream. She had a dream and it had been a long time since she last dreamt of her mother.

Her mother seemed to be smiling at her. In her past life, her mother was always crying in her dreams. She knew it was because her mother pitied her; she pitied that she was being cheated by others. She pitied that her blood was taken away from her bag by bag. She pitied that her stomach was split open by others and she pitied that 6-month-old child.

But in this life, her mother was smiling.

Mum, don’t worry. I will lead a good life, I will.

She placed her hand in front of her chest before turning her head. She saw the red packet on the table in front of her. She picked up the red packet; it was from Lu Yi and it was pretty thick. She had no idea how much money there was inside.

She placed the red packet in her hands before opening it and taking out the contents.

There was a stack of hundred-dollar notes inside. She estimated there were around a thousand dollars inside.

Attorney Lu was this magnanimous and had so much money for her. She happily laid down on the bed to count the money. They had to go for a movie premiere soon and her movie was at night while Three Kingdoms was in the early morning. This was one step ahead of Uncle and the Flower but she wasn’t upset by it. After all, it was from a famous director and he needed face.

She counted one by one and got happier as she counted. There really was a thousand dollars inside. She took over the red packet and was about to stuff the money back inside the red packet when she felt as if there was something else inside.

She sat up and shook the empty red packet. Indeed there was something inside as it made some noise.

She placed the thing inside the red packet on her hand; it turned out to be a ring. It was an exquisite ring.

Suddenly, she covered her mouth and in an instant, she felt her nose turning sour. The sourness enveloped her eyes as she felt a few hot tears emerging. They fell into her palms.

She put on the ring on her ring finger; it fitted exactly.

“Alright, it will be you in the future, I won’t take it off.”

“Huanhuan, are you awake?” Yi Ling knocked on the door from outside, “Are you not hungry? I am dying of hunger. I want dumplings, dumplings.”

Yan Huan wore her shoes and when she walked out, Yi ling was lying on the sofa waiting. One of the shoes was kicked somewhere else. She kept shouting that she was hungry and how she was dying of hunger.

Yan Huan walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge before taking out the dumplings inside. She cooked 2 bowls, one for herself and the other for Yi Ling. She had hired a nanny for the house but she had to celebrate the new year too and would only come over after.

Hence, they still had to do everything themselves these few days.

When Yan Huan placed the dumplings on the table, Yi Ling’s dog nose was very sensitive indeed. She sniffed with her nose before rushing to sit down. She took up her chopsticks and stuffed one dumpling into her mouth. Of course one had to eat dumplings during the new year. If not what new year was it?

Yi Ling’s eyes were incredibly observant as she grabbed Yan Huan’s hand. “This ring is really pretty.”

Yan Huan winked but before she could say anything, she heard Yi Ling rambling on.

“The glass looks exactly like a diamond. I want to go get one soon too.”

Yan Huan only laughed as she lightly twisted the ring on her finger.

Yi Ling called Lei Qingyi at night to tell him. She asked him where she could find a large glass ring.
