“But…” Yan Huan frowned. “Didn’t you notice, your father and your grandfather do not look alike, neither do you look like him. Say, could it be that your father was picked up from a dumpster?”
Lu Yi quickly covered her mouth, “Don’t talk nonsense.” Yan Huan blinked her eyes. She truly felt that it was really strange; it couldn’t be that he was actually adopted?
What is she doing, thinking about nonsense all the time. Lu Yi pulled his hand away to let her sit up straight.
But Yan Huan could not help feeling suspicious. She leaned her chin against Lu Yi’s shoulder. “Look at how nice your grandfather treated that Miao. You were almost killed by that Miao, yet he did not care. In addition, he lashed out at you twice because of that Miao, you were wounded and bruised; don’t tell me that his beatings and scoldings were out of love. No one loves their grandson in such a way?”
“Say, could it be that that Miao is an illegitimate child of your grandfather with someone else, and your father was just like worthless freebies to him, unwanted and unneeded because he wasn’t his own child?”
As Lu Yi wanted to speak, the door outside opened.
Yan Huan immediately covered her mouth with her hands. Just great, how awkward.
Outside stood Ye Shuyun and Lu Jin, who felt way more awkward than her.
Ye Shuyun glanced at her husband, “See, what I said was reasonable. Everyone thought so.”
Lu Jin was showing a long face.
He thought to himself: it can’t be true that he was adopted?
“Dad, Mom, you are here.” Lu Yi stood up, his injuries were recovering well. Such insane ability to heal was certainly a rare sight: young, thick-skinned and resistant to beatings.
“Dad, Mom,” Yan Huan also pretended to be well-behaved.
“I came to see the two of you. I have brought some food as well.”
Ye Shuyun quickly let herself in. She proceeded to put the food she brought on the table.
“Nice timing,” Lu Yi said with the intention of giving her face, “I’m hungry.” With that, he was already picking up the lunch box on the table. As he opened it, it was filled with meat and vegetable dishes prepared by the Lu family’s nanny. Every dish was freshly made, separated and still warm.
Yan Huan lowered her head and quietly touched her stomach. She felt that by the time she recovered, she would have gained several pounds of weight for sure.
Lu Yi took the chopsticks, filled a bowl with rice, then sat down and ate with Yan Huan. Yan Huan was injured in her right hand, of course, she was no lefty. She could only hold a spoon in her left hand and could not use chopsticks.
Lu Yi fed her a meatball.
Honestly, Yan Huan did not feel like eating. She did not want to eat meat, she wanted to eat vegetables, she wanted to eat vegetarian food.
“It’s not like it’s poison, eat.”
Lu Yi put the chopsticks by her mouth, Yan Huan had no choice but to take a bite. Her eyes darted around in surprise, it was rather delicious.
She chewed a few times and swallowed it in a few bites.
Lu Yi saw that she liked it and fed her another one. Obviously he also remembered it as the dish she liked. It seems that while she did not like eating meat, she liked these red-braised meatballs made by the Lu family’s nanny.
Yan Huan ate another one, and upon seeing that the Lu Jin couple was still standing by the door, she almost choked on her own food.
Ye Shuyun rushed to pour a glass of water, before bringing it to Yan Huan, saying, “Why don’t you eat slowly? If you like it, I will ask the nanny at home to make it for you again tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Mom.” Yan Huan took the cup and had a sip of water.
“That’s right.” She just remembered something, something that she had almost forgotten.
“Mom, the day after tomorrow is the premiere of Hello Uncle, the second movie of The Uncle and The Flower. Would you like to go?”
Ye Shuyun’s eyes lit up.
She knew that there would be many artists attending the movie premiere.
“Can I go?” She really wanted to go.
“Why yes, I’ll get you some tickets.” Yan Huan nodded, it was entirely possible for her to get a few tickets.
“May I request for a few more tickets?” Ye Shuyun recalled about her close friends. Some tickets could not be bought with money, because they were all determined by the organizer.
“Certainly,” Yan Huan replied without any hint of reluctance in her voice.
“Would it be a little far-fetched?” Ye Shuyun was afraid of adding unnecessary burdens for her daughter-in-law.
“No worries, Mom.” Lu Yi again fed Yan Huan with a steamed bun. Let her eat, he himself was not hungry. Huanhuan was the main investor of Hello, Uncle!, so she would definitely attend.
That’s good. As soon as Ye Shuyun heard that she would be able to get tickets to the live event, she could no longer sit still. Impatiently, she grabbed Lu Jin and left.
Lu Jin was rather confused about the situation. “Why are we leaving so suddenly?”
“Come on,” Ye Shuyun gave Lu Jin a quick pinch. “The young people are here to be lovey-dovey. What are you doing here?”
“Oh…” Lu Jin understood, in fact, he had long wanted to leave. Just that, right now he felt sort of wronged, “You know, when you were young, why didn’t you treat me nicer?”
“Well, you never fed me any meatballs, have you?” Ye Shuyun retorted.
“I fed you bones,” Lu Jin was dissatisfied with her argument.
“Luckily the bone that you fed me did not choke me to death, we still had to visit the hospital to get it out,” Ye Shuyun raised her voice and Lu Jin dared not speak anymore.
“Have one more,” Lu Yi picked up more meatballs for Yan Huan.
Yan Huan liked it especially. She lowered her head and ate the meatball.
“Tomorrow, I’ll get nanny to make some for you again.” Lu Yi saw that Yan Huan enjoyed her meal, and she was more satisfied eating than he was.
“Alright, I’m going to have an entire plate tomorrow.” She ate contentedly. Her eyes were beaming. At the moment, she was cute and behaved, just like an obedient child. To be honest, sometimes Lu Yi gets a headache just by dealing with her stubborn nature, he wished he could knock some sense into her.
Yan Huan took out her phone from Lu Yi’s pocket and dialed Luo Lin’s phone.
“Luo Lin, help me get 10 tickets.”
Luo Lin agreed from the other side, delivering the promised tickets over first thing in the following day. Now, even Yi Ling was going to become Mrs. Lei. Although she did not become a gold rank manager, it was far from a bad thing to become Mrs. Lei. To be able to find someone who loved her was much better than any gold or silver ranking. This was winning in life.
Therefore, Luo Lin was now the full-time celebrity manager of Yan Huan.
“How is your hand?” Seeing Yan Huan’s hand which was wrapped up like a fat dumpling gave Luo Lin a headache. “I’ve postponed a few of your advertisement shoots. We’ll discuss about it when that paw of yours heals.” Nevertheless, her injury must not leave too many scars. After all, people wanted a perfect Yan Huan, not Yan Huan with a ruined hand. It was not difficult to pick up the grumbling tone in her voice. As an actress, how could she get her fans to love her if she did not cherish her own body in the first place?
“It’s alright,” Yan Huan raised her fingers. It was agonizing everytime she moved, but it was still bearable for her.
“My bones weren’t injured, so don’t worry, I will not be treated as a cripple.”
Luo Lin really wanted to pinch Yan Huan’s face. “Remember to hide that paw of yours during the premiere of Hello, Uncle!”
