Chapter 634: Because Of Love

Advertisement modelling requests could be declined, and her social media updates could be paused, as Linlang had already earned enough money for her. Now, she did not need to be too hardworking. Lu Yi was not Lu Qin, therefore even if she did not contribute anything, she believed that he would still not treat her like how Lu Qin did.

In this lifetime, she was still able to believe in a man, a man named Lu Yi, which was also a man of the ‘Lu’ family.

“The movie queen Yan is different from what the rumors say,” a woman remarked as she tilted her chin and mused to herself.

“How is it different? Isn’t she just human like all of us?” A man jibed as he sat down. These words were tinged with envy, no matter how it was conveyed. Some people were just arrogant, due to their family background, career, or looks; even when marrying a bride, they would be the cream of the crop. However, what was so good about being an actor? One would be so busy everyday that they would neglect their household affairs.

“Yes, she is still human,” said the woman as she raised her eyelids lazily. “With the level of her beauty, do you stand a chance of marrying her?”

“Beautiful, but uncontrollable. The possibility of her having an affair is very high,” the man argued distastefully.

“That’s because you’re incompetent,” retorted the woman as she curled her lips. “Our world has become so dull and full of negativity because of people like you, who claim that all grapes are sour just because you can’t reach the vine that bears them.”

“Her beauty is her own business, her virtue is still her own business. Her ability to earn billions through films is still her own business. She had donated thousands of millions to disaster-stricken areas once. Can you do that? His wife is willing to give up her job, just to accompany her busy husband. Do you think the one in your house can do the same?”

These words really put the man to shame. Exactly, he was unwilling to accept it. He felt that it was unfair! How was it possible for a man like Lu Yi, who was not a ladies’ man and should be someone that would get dumped by everyone, to marry a wife that was so beautiful and virtuous, knew how to earn money, and was so well known?

This simply was a slap in the face for all men.

Inside, Lu Yi stood up and grabbed his coat to drape it over Yan Huan’s body. Currently, Yan Huan had curled up on the couch and fell asleep.

She had always been petite, therefore sleeping on the couch would not strain her body. She had lost quite a bit of weight when she broke her arm some time before. Now, after such a long recovery period, she had gained back some weight, but she was still pitifully thin.

He bent down and stretched out his hand to caress Yan Huan’s face softly. Through his fingertips, he could feel that her skin was cool and smooth. Due to the fact that she had not seen the sun for almost a month, he could see the blue veins that stood out visibly on her skin, and a layer of soft and fine hair.

Sometimes, Lu Yi did not dare to touch her with excessive force. It felt like if he used a little more force, he would actually break her.

He gazed at her for a long time, just like this. He wished that this moment would imprint itself upon his soul. He wanted to get lost in time, to forget about his work and everything else.

When he stood up again, he lifted his wrist to check the time on his watch. Lu Yi decided that he would leave earlier than his usual time today, so he had only two more hours of work to go. As for the workload that he did not get to settle, he would attend to them later at night if his insomnia struck again.

He went to sit in front of his computer, followed by his fingers flying all over the keyboard. The laptop that was gifted by Yan Huan was indeed quite useful. Once he got used to the impeccable performance and the feel of the keyboard, it would feel awkward and unsuitable if he were to change to another laptop.

At half past five in the evening, even the guards started to leave work one after another. Not many of them stayed back to work overtime, as most of them did not have as much work as Lu Yi did.

His sensitivity toward numbers and his meticulous attitude were not common traits to have, so not everyone was able to handle this kind of work. It was exactly because this fact that he was so busy with work. In that previous lifetime, he had become a very unapproachable person because of this. Even after getting married, his relationship with his wife was courteous but distanced, lacking any intimacy to speak of. Therefore, they never had any kids.

If he had not met Yan Huan in this lifetime, he would have followed his previous path and remained the same in this life, unable to change.

He tucked his laptop into his bag. Then, he walked toward Yan Huan and crouched down to pat her face.

“Huanhuan, wake up, let’s go home.”

Yan Huan rubbed her eyes as she woke up, wondering where she was. She turned and hugged Lu Yi’s waist, burying her face into his arms, reluctant to wake up as she had slept for too long. The more she slept, the more tired she felt.

After getting home, Lu Yi caressed her head as he made a mental note to not to let her sleep for too long again. However, he was often reluctant to wake her up when she fell asleep, therefore she usually slept until she woke up naturally. The consequences of waking up naturally was just like how she was right now, feeling sleepier the more she slept. Fortunately, she could still sleep well at night. No matter how long she slept during the day, she would still have a good night’s sleep, slumbering uninterrupted until daybreak. Or else, he would never have allowed her to continue napping throughout the day.

Yan Huan yawned and sat up properly, allowing Lu Yi to take her shoes and help her slip them on.

At that exact moment, there were people walking past Lu Yi’s office, who peeked at them through the window. After seeing what was happening, they finally understood the reason behind the tight-knit relationship between the couple.

It was not because of anything else.

It was only because of love.

In the spectator’s mind, he was pondering. What was he supposed to do? He was starting to believe in love again. He did not want to settle for just anything, he did not want to put up with just a tolerable relationship anymore. He wanted to find a woman whom he would also be willing to put on her shoes for her.

After Lu Yi slipped her shoes on securely, Yan Huan stood up. However, she was hesitant to leave him.

She was still hugging Lu Yi’s waist.

“My dear Lu Yi...”

“Yes?” Lu Yi smiled, which was a rare thing. The corner of his lips formed a perfect but subtle curve, and his eyes were filled with warmth. This was in contrast to the current weather, as his smile felt like the warmth of the autumn sun.

When she saw his smile, that springlike warmth in it warmed her from the inside out.

Yan Huan then again nestled herself in his arms, with an ear pressing on his heart.

“Darling, I love you. I will love you for as long as I live, forever and always. If you’re not here with me, I would rather not live too.”

“Don’t speak nonsense,” Lu Yi hushed as he grabbed her shoulders. “I will not die, and you will not too. Well, at least in a couple of decades to come, neither of us will not.”

“If there was ever a day where both of us are not here anymore, then it must be after we are covered with silvery hair.”

Yan Huan touched her face and said, “I must be ugly by then.”

“Not at all. In my heart, you are the most beautiful of all,” murmured Lu Yi tenderly as he leaned his forehead against hers. She was truly the most beautiful and delicate woman he had ever met.
