Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 531 - Sigh, Men

Chapter 531: Sigh, Men

“Go to sleep.” Lu Yi gently patted her shoulders, trying to put her to sleep. Soon enough, Yan Huan was fast asleep. Lu Yi covered her with a blanket as he shut his eyes and went to sleep too.

When Yan Huan opened her eyes once again, Lu Yi was already awake. He was sitting upright while the book Yan Huan brought was placed on his lap. She had no idea when he woke up but she knew that it was rather early.

“Why don’t you sleep in for a little longer?” Lu Yi knew she was awake due to the change in her breathing. He reached for his watch to check the time. It was merely six o’clock and was considerably early to be awake at this hour.

Yan Huan sat up. Then, she made a turn and sat on Lu Yi’s lap before she kissed him on the cheek.

“I’m going for a jog.”

“But,” She hugged Lu Yi’s waist tight, “I don’t feel like jogging today.” She did not want to leave her husband as it had been ages since they last met. It could take another couple of months, or longer, before they could meet again.

Lu Yi pulled her into his arms, “Get up. I’ll go with you. Also, I’ll be staying for about 10 days.”

“Really?” Yan Huan’s eyes sparkled. 10 days, that long?

“Yes.” Lu Yi pinched her face. However, his eyes deepened. Where Yan Huan was not watching, a chilling light flashed across his eyes. Someone was still lingering within this compound. It was impossible for him to leave his beautiful wife alone and create opportunity for others.

Although he knew that Yan Huan was innocent, but someone else was not. And that was enough to perturb him.

No man could endure it when their wives were constantly on someone else’s mind.

This was one of the concerns he had about having a celebrity wife. He was helpless about it, but he was enjoying it as he suffered.

Yan Huan lazed around in bed for a little longer together with Lu Yi before they headed to the bathroom. Yan Huan made Lu Yi wash up beside her before they went for a jog.

As the sunlight gradually lit up the sky, the couple had lost count of how many times they had jogged around in the yard.

When Luo Lin opened the door, she saw the couple who were running around the yard. She leaned on her back, feeling worn out and intended to go back to sleep. When she was about to turn around, she heard Liang Chen’s manager walking out of the room, yawning as she said,

“Didn’t they say that they wanted to hustle all night long? What’s wrong with his stamina? My husband can do it all night long without fail.”

Luo Lin rolled her eyes, “Lu Yi’s physique is muscular and strong. What he has is self-control.”

“Let’s go.” She nudged Liang Chen’s manager, “Let’s join them.”

“No, thank you,” said Liang Chen’s manager as she yawned once again. “I’m not running, I am not an actress, neither am I fat,” She said proudly, stuck her chin out as she touched her firm and thin waist. She had such a nice body. Instead of a jog, it was better for her to sleep in.

The corner of Luo Lin’s eyes twitched. Is she making fun of me? She’s so mean.

Forget it, I will jog by myself. Let’s see who will eventually be the fat one.

The crowd began to grow at the yard as more people joined Yan Huan for the morning jog. Yan Huan and Lu Yi both had experiences in the military. Therefore, they were excellent at endurance running. Despite having jogged for dozens of rounds, their breathing remained steady.

They had breakfast before Yan Huan proceeded to do her makeup and shootings. Lu Yi was able to understand the flow of movie production only after he stepped into a set. He also realized how challenging it was to be an actor, especially when they had to wear thin layers of clothing despite the cold weather.

Wearing short-sleeved attire during the winter and wearing clothing made of cotton during the summer time were common for them.

As Yan Huan walked over, Lu Yi covered her with a coat and gently stroked her cheek. Her cheeks were cold from the freezing weather.

“Are you tired?”

“It’s alright. I’m used to it,” Yan Huan said as she grinned with her squinted eyes. “I’m hungry.” She touched her stomach. She had been suspended by wires for an entire day and shot an action scene that required a lot of energy. Hence, she was quickly worn out and was starving.

“Have some meat,” Lu Yi said in a low and stern voice, warning her not to be picky with her food. This seemed to be more tiring than the days in the army camp.

Yan Huan thought to herself. Fine, let’s have some meat then.

“You’re fired,” Liang Chen’s manager poked Luo Lin’s waist. “Look at your actress. She’s eating meat. Why does she not want to take any meat when you’re around?”

Luo Lin rolled her eyes. She had now been doing this more frequently than ever.

In fact, Luo Lin should not be blamed. Yan Huan was never afraid of her. Instead, she was scared of Lu Y. She was completely obedient to Lu Yi. However, Luo Lin feared that she was going to lose her job as Yan Huan seemed to not need her management anymore.

Luo Lin had the urge to confront Lu Yi. Prosecutor Lu, when are you leaving this place? Have you been dismissed from your role at the procuratorate? The more Lu Yi spoiled Yan Huan, the more Yan Huan disobeyed Luo Lin.

“Great,” Director Jin said as he shook Song Xihua’s hand, “Although this is your first job, but you have rather decent acting skills. I look forward to working with you again in the future.”

“Of course,” Song Xihua said as he returned Director Jin’s handshake. Even if he had a chance to work with him in the future, he believed that he was not meant to be an actor as he was unable to perfectly portray the feelings of the characters. Things might get better in a few years time, but seemingly not anytime soon.

Song Xihua’s manager and assistant had already packed their belongings and were ready to head home. However, Song Xihua longed to meet a special someone. He had been looking for her all day, but to no avail. He was rather disappointed. Nonetheless, when he passed by Liang Chen’s room, he saw four of them playing mahjong in the room. The rattling sound of the mahjong pieces against the table seemed to have thudded into his heart painfully.

He gently pursed his lips. The next time he turned to look at them, the man in the room stared calmly at him. His gaze carried no emotions but it was intimidating and ruthless, resembling the northern wind that blew on his face and hurt his skin.

Song Xihua forced a smile until the corner of his lips hurt before he turned and left the scene.

Qi Haolin stared at Lu Yi as he tried to suppress his laughter.

Sigh, men...

Nevertheless, he knew Lu Yi’s character very well. It was very likely that Song Xihua was the reason Lu Yi stayed. However, it was nice for the four of them to gather and spend time together by playing mahjong and poker. This had brought them much closer.

People always said that their lifestyles were lavish and they were arrogant. But in reality, they were no different from the common men and they wished to live a simple life.
