Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
She was fine now and would not go out unnecessarily. No one knew of the fact that she was back. In fact, not many knew that she was still alive at the moment. She spent most of her days cooped up in the house, so whenever she was bored she would try her hand at some of the tasty recipes she had learned for Lu Yi and the three children.
These days, her culinary skills had improved the most among others.
“Su Muran is back.”
Lu Yi accidentally let slip while tending to the three children’s meals.
Yan Huan’s fingers lightly paused for a moment, then she lowered her head and continued her meal. “Why, isn’t she dead yet?”
“Hmm, not yet.” Lu Yi did not notice her reaction because Xiao Qi dropped some grains of rice on the table and he was cleaning it up. “I heard that she was lucky when she was overseas and found a suitable donor, so she managed to survive.”
“She was indeed lucky.” Yan Huan lowered her head and picked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks. This woman had enough luck to last her two lifetimes, but the excuse that they came up with this time was pretty good. Finding bone marrow overseas, sure. This way, no one would ever know nor question how they managed to cure Su Muran’s disease.
By the time Lu Yi looked up, Yan Huan had returned to her normal self as she fed Xunxun. With her mouth wide open, Xunxun obediently ate the rice that her mother gave her.
Nonetheless, when Yan Huan fed a small spoonful of cut meat to Xunxun, her little face turned sour after she tasted it. While shaking her head, she pursed her tiny lips and refused to eat anymore.
“Is meat that scary?”
Yan Huan scooped another spoonful and held it in front of her daughter’s face.
Xunxun lifted her small face and stared at her mother, her tiny mouth still pouting. She then turned her face away, not willing to eat.
Yan Huan was powerless against her daughter when she was acting up like that. Would meat kill her? She put on a questioning glance toward Lu Yi, and the only reply she got was the sight of Lu Yi faintly smiling at her.
Yan Huan suddenly understood something and retrieved the spoon. I better feed my daughter something else.
This was exactly as the golden rule preached, do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.
It seemed like Xunxun’s temperament came after her. She had somehow become a bad mother who insisted that her daughter should eat meat while she herself would not take any.
Yan Huan waited until all three children had finally slept, only then did she gently rub her shoulders and let out a sigh of relief. Her shoulders were sore and tired just by carrying only Xunxun around every day.
“Why, tired?”
Lu Yi walked over and put his hands on her shoulders, massaging it gently.
Yan Huan had always known that his hands were strong and so was his technique, every touch from his fingers were right on the pressure points of her shoulders. She sat quietly and enjoyed Prosecutor Lu’s special service.
“I found the person you requested.”
Lu Yi helped to sit Yan Huan up properly. Only then did he remember what Yan Huan had requested of him, a person she was looking for.
“Do you want to meet him?”
“Has he been well?” Yan Huan put her hands on her knees, gently grasping them with her fingers. She tried asking for Lu Qin’s help. After all, Sea City was huge, searching for just one single person was not easy, but she never did expect that he actually managed to find him.
Liu Hao was Liu Fang and Liu Hua’s brother, and also the loved one of this identification card she was holding onto.
“Not bad, my sources said that he was living comfortably, his circumstances aren’t too bad either.”
Lu Yi was unaware of the things that happened to Yan Huan’s throughout the year. Just like before, if she did not mention anything, he would never pry. She would tell him everything when she was ready. If she was unwilling to share, no matter how much he asked, she would never open up. In fact, it would probably rip some of her old wounds and hurt her.
Plus this Liu Hao, whom Yan Huan wanted to find, was currently working as a kitchen helper in a hotel in Sea City. He was a hardworking person, in fact, he was working his way up to the position of a head chef, just as many others who had come over to Sea City for work. They were all living in this city, struggling to live, striving for a better life and building up their wealth.
“I would like to meet him.” Yan Huan touched her fingers, the frostbite on them was slowly healing. It was part of the reason she stayed cooped up at home and did not want to go out.
“I will arrange for it.”
Lu Yi stood up straight and walked over to face Yan Huan. He crouched down till he was on the same eye level as hers. Meanwhile, Yan Huan turned her face away, not wanting to keep in contact with his reckoning and prying eyes.
There were things that needed to be said but now was not the right time.
“Don’t be scared.” Lu Yi stroked her hair which had grown out so much. She had also grown chubbier. At least, her face was no longer just skin and bones, not like back when she was so thin and looked like a ghost.
“I won’t press you for answers, I will wait until you are ready to share, will that be alright? But can you at least tell me, have you been well out there?”
The phrase ‘Have you been well?’ was actually laced with bitterness. How well could it be? If she really was well, would her face have ended up like this? If she really was well, would she have become so thin?
“It was okay.” Yan Huan felt a twinge of forlorn hit her, all she wanted to do at the moment was to blurt out everything. However, in the end, she held them all back because there was no proof except pure accusations now. She knew that Lu Yi would trust her, but there was only him. The Su family had always been meticulous. That old fox Su Qingdong would have calculated and thought everything through already. How would there be any sort of evidence left for them to catch?
So, for now, she would not say anything as she was waiting for her chance. She would find evidence, every single one of those who have framed and harmed her before would definitely pay and get what they deserved.
This was how the world should work. You reap what you sow, it was just not the right timing yet.
In one of the franchised hotels in Sea City, although it was not the best one there, it was located in a nice area within Sea City. The hotel’s ambiance and service was not bad at all. Plus, their flavors provided in the restaurant were rather unique, so it was rather popular in that area of Sea City. Customers would flood in every day after 5 p.m. In fact, the place would always be packed and seats were barely enough.
At the moment, the kitchen crews in the restaurant were busy bustling their workload. In other words, aside from the patrons waiting to be seated, the next most hectic corner of the restaurant was the kitchen. It was currently the season for warm fur coats, but everyone in here was dressed in short-sleeved clothing, and precisely at that time, a man in a white chef’s uniform was standing there. He tugged at the towel draped around his neck and wiped off the sweat threatening to fall from his forehead. Veins were protruding from his left forearm. It was evident that this limb was stronger than his right forearm.
“Liu Hao, someone’s calling for you.”
A person called out his name from outside of the kitchen doors.
“Right away.” Liu Hao finished up his last dish and did not even bother to change. He would be back soon to continue anyway. No matter what, he just could not figure out who would be out there looking for him.
