Sweet Wife in My Arms Chapter 705

Chapter 705 - It’s Almost Been Two Years

Yan Huan picked up the bowl. She had been drinking this soup for a few years and she had never missed it in any of her meals. Although her fingers seemed to be frozen again this year, but it was not that serious. It was not as bad as when she was filming last year. At the very least, her fingers did not turn into red carrots.

There was nobody at home now, as Ye Shuyun and Lu Jin had gone abroad to spend their winter in a warmer country. Ye Shuyun was not in good health recently, and the doctor had warned them that she might feel worse during the winter, so Lu Jin took some time off to accompany her to go abroad. They would miss the entire winter season of Sea City when they return next year at the start of spring.

Anyway, the winter at Sea City was particularly cold this year. Yan Huan had forgotten whether Sea City had ever been this cold before, so cold that it was freezing out there. She placed the empty bowl on the table, relishing the warmth in the house.

Right when she stood up, she heard her mobile phone’s ringtone went off. She picked up the phone and saw that it was Liang Chen who was calling her. Liang Chen had rarely appeared in public this year, citing the fact that she was not in good health, which meant that she had to recuperate away from the public’s eyes. But in fact, Yan Huan was the only one who knew that Liang Chen had found out that she was pregnant not long ago.

“Come over and visit me,” Liang Chen demanded. She sounded slightly annoyed.

“Okay, sure.” Yan Huan checked the time and said, “I’ll leave soon.” She hung up with a click and set down her phone, going back to her room to change her clothes.

She had always been on good terms with Liang Chen, especially when Liang Chen got pregnant not long after she finished filming the drama. Liang Chen credited Yan Huan for the joyous news, saying that it was all because she drank the soup brewed by the nanny employed by Yan Huan that she was pregnant with this child now.

Yan Huan just smiled in response instead of saying anything.

If it really was that great, then she had been drinking it for far longer, but she had never conceived a child with Lu Yi. She had been drinking it for several years now, but she needed to have her man with her if she wanted to get pregnant.

She was greeted by the cold wind outside when she opened the door. It was so cold that she could not help turning her face away from the wind. Her first stop was a baby supplies shop as she wanted to get something for Liang Chen’s baby.

Although Liang Chen might not need these as there were a lot of people who could buy whatever things she wanted for her, these were the tokens of her love with best wishes.

She bought a set of baby supplies, consisting of several pairs of tiny clothes, tiny socks and of the like. She tilted her head as she counted the months that Liang Chen had been pregnant, noting that she was already at the seventh month. The day of birth should be close.

However, what she did not know was that a camera had already taken a few shots of her when she was choosing the clothes. She was totally unaware of it.

When she arrived at Liang Chen’s house, she presented her gifts to Liang Chen and said, “I’ve gotten these for your daughter.”

“Thank you.” Liang Chen accepted the bag and took out the tiny clothes inside, trying to imagine her baby in these outfits. With her stubby limbs, she would look so cute in these clothes that people would want to take a nibble out of her.

“By the way, how do you know that it’s a girl?”

Even Liang Chen herself did not know about it, so how would Yan Huan know?

“Didn’t my nanny come over and boil the soup for you? She said that it should be a girl, and she will be as beautiful as you are in the future.”

Yan Huan picked up a cup and poured some water for herself. She could not possibly ask a pregnant woman to serve her.

“The nanny that you hired is really a gem. Is it okay if you lend me your nanny for a few months after I go into labor?” Liang Chen wished to have Yan Huan’s nanny at her side. Not only did she know how to cook well, she also knew how to nurse a woman’s body.

“No problem, but you have to pay for her salary though. You know that I am not taking any acting jobs nowadays, so I have no money.” Yan Huan sat down with the cup held gingerly in her hand. Of course she agreed. In fact, she felt that Liang Chen was too superstitious. In her opinion, there was no such thing as miracles. It was her own body, so she had to start loving and caring for it. You could not possibly fix a broken body just by ingesting a few medicines or drinking some soups. It took time and patience to condition the body.

However, it seemed like Liang Chen truly believed in the miraculous effects of the soup. Yan Huan let her have the nanny since she believed it. It was really not a big deal for her. It was just a few months anyway, she could just drink other soups.

“You have no money?” Liang Chen really wanted to pinch Yan Huan. “Your Linlang is making so much profit, yet you say that you have no money? Not to mention that there are so many endorsements for you pick up, some of them are even big international brands.”

Liang Chen could not understand Yan Huan. She had so many useful resources and connections on her hands, yet she refused to make use of them. Instead, she dared to complain about her so-called poverty in front of her. This was too absurd. Although she had disappeared for a year or so, her reputation as the best actress was still unbeatable.

In the past few days, she was ranked fifth in the chart of the most beautiful faces in Asia. As for the person who was ranked first, Liang Chen had thought that she was not even as pretty as Yan Huan. However, she won because she was an international best actress, and Yan Huan was not.

Nevertheless, she felt that Yan Huan deserved to be the first. How could she be ranked the fifth? That woman had always exuded an indescribable aura that accumulated with time and temperance. It was Yan Huan’s unique charm and something that no one else had, a natural feeling of melancholy and mystery.

“By the way,” Liang Chen reached out and held Yan Huan’s shoulders gently. “You still did not gain much weight. It has been so long since you stopped filming, you don’t have to deliberately keep your body in shape.”

“Well, no, I just do not get fat easily.” Yan Huan had never been on a diet. She was not a big eater, as her appetite had been small since young. She was around 35 kilograms when she was at her lightest weight, and she had never exceeded 50 kilograms even when she was at her heaviest.

What else could Liang Chen do? That was an uncontrollable difference between people after all. Meanwhile, she was too afraid to even look at her own body, worrying that she would feel depressed by how out of shape she must be.

She was so envious of Yan Huan’s slim figure. When she was at Yan Huan’s age, there was a lot of food that she did not dare to eat. But look at Yan Huan! She drank a few bowls of soup every day, her skin always looked healthy and radiant with rosy skin, but she had never seen her getting fat before. This is so unfair.

“What do you want to tell me?” Yan Huan turned around and asked Liang Chen. Truth be told, she envied Liang Chen. How great would it be if she had a child with Lu Yi? Mom and Dad would have something to look forward to, and she could admire the child who would look like Lu Yi every day. She could look after the child forever. However, they did not have a child.

“Oh dear, look at my memory, I have forgotten.” Liang Chen had been so caught up with being jealous of Yan Huan that she had forgotten about something important.

“Lu Yi had been gone for almost two years now,” Liang Chen said carefully. Yan Huan seemed calm at that admission, as if she had come to terms with that. However, it was not actually the case. The wound in her heart was so deep that it might be impossible for it to heal her entire life.

“Yes, it’s almost been two years.” Yan Huan raised the cup to her mouth and took a sip. She took her feet out of the slippers, stepping barefoot on the ground. She looked as though she was setting herself free, or maybe she was abusing herself.

“Are you really going to remain a widow for Lu Yi forever?”
