Chapter 777: The Reason
Otherwise, the more a woman wanted, the larger her disappointment would be.
“I’m not leaving,” Sun Yuhan turned her head away and refused to accept the bowl placed in front of her. If she left the hospital, would he still come and keep her company? Of course not, Lu Yi had a job. He was usually extremely busy at work. Furthermore, with a nanny at home, there was no need for him to return home daily.
As for her leg, she wished that it would never recover.
She felt that she might lose something once she recovered.
Lu Yi set the bowl down on the table and pulled a chair over to sit down.
“It is impossible for you to remain in the hospital forever. If you do not want to stay at my house, I can arrange for you to stay somewhere else.”
Sun Yuhan shivered. There was an awkward feeling that she was being seen through. She had to admit that she could not accept the Lu family nor did she like their house. She did not want Lu Yi to know about her feelings, yet he had figured it out anyway.
She reached out to accept the bowl and ate the rice in it absentmindedly. She felt like she was sipping some unknown poison, a few more mouthfuls might cause her death.
“I’ll help you get discharged in a while. Where do you want to stay?” Lu Yi asked Sun Yuhan again. Since she was recovered, why remain in the hospital? He Yibin had urged her to leave several times.
“I understand.” Sun Yuhan answered softly, but she did not raise her head.
By afternoon, the discharge procedure was complete. Lu Yi helped Sun Yuhan pack up and by nightfall, they were already at the Lu family’s house.
When the door opened, Sun Yuhan felt an unexplainable surge of stress press down on here, although there was no one inside. No, apart from Yan Huan; Ye Shuyun and Lu Jin had their own places to stay. Nobody wanted to come back here.
Sun Yuhan clenched her fingers around a corner of her shirt. When she finally loosened her grip, her clothes were wrinkled. No matter what happened, she would not admit defeat. Even if none of the Lu family members accepted or liked her.
After helping her settle in, Lu Yi took out his laptop and went into his room. This was his private space. He was not going to allow anyone in here, including Sun Yuhan.
However, when he switched on his laptop, something skittered across his mind.
He opened up a hidden folder on his laptop, which contained hundreds of photos. They were all photos from recent years, documenting the growth, success and maturity of a certain woman.
Some were a result of his involvement and some were not.
It was not certain what he saw, but his lips curled up all of a sudden. In contrast to his ice-cold demeanour when facing others, there was a soft and gentle feeling in his heart, like the falling of a feather as it brushed against him lightly.
Now he finally understood why he married her before, even though he could not recall it and had eventually forgotten her. In his heart, there was still a space that he could not locate, which did not belong to him.
He leaned back and pinched the space between his brows. It had been hectic at work lately, so he had no time to himself at all, as he had to visit the hospital daily to take care of Sun Yuhan. He had spent several restless days and sleepless nights in front of his laptop. He had been so busy that he had no time to tune in to the recent news.
Opening up the news site online, he sat down comfortably and started browsing through it. However one of the headlines made him sit up abruptly.
Movie Queen Yan Huan had been spotted in an extramarital affair with Song Xihua, and the two had been living together for quite a while. Apart from that, there were a few photos attached to the article. Although the pictures were sneakily taken, both of their faces could be seen clearly.
The trending news across the internet right now was regarding Yan Huan’s affair. An actress who was known to be virtuous and gossip-free could be destroyed completely by this affair. Of course, no one was to blame for this. After all, Lu Yi’s resurrection was the catalyst.
Nonetheless, irregardless of Lu Yi’s two-year absence, the news was already out and Yan Huan’s cheating was now a fact.
Lu Yi switched off his computer. Now he finally understood why those people from the procuratorate were giving him odd looks that held unknown meanings. They were either sympathetic or they were laughing at him behind his back. He felt like a specimen in a museum, like someone had put horns on his head.
He walked over to the window, drew the curtains and just stood there.
Just like an oak tree, he stood firm and tough.
He had never allowed a single flaw to remain in his work, that was how his character was. Even though he had been absent for two years, every single thing that happened in the procuratorate did not escape his eyes. However, his personal life was a mess.
This was probably his first time being in such a dilemma.
Before the rest of his memories came back, he did not know how to face her. This wife he had wed and had deeply loved. The gap in his memory and the lost memories were all hurtful to her.
He thought they would eventually meet after some time, but it was unexpected that they would encounter each other under such circumstances.
Yan Huan had no idea who was outside, but she knew that it was someone familiar who knew to visit here. This was not a publicly known place. Otherwise, those reporters who wanted to dig into her ‘affair’ and make headlines would have been all over her by now.
As she opened the door, the sight of the man standing outside caused some light refractions in her eyes that eventually transformed into a calmness.
She turned, walked toward the couch and sat down. One must say that she was indeed a very good actress, as she could easily disguise herself as someone that was not her. She could have many personalities, but only few could see through her.
No wonder Old Master Lu had always said that all prostitutes are heartless, just like how all performers are deceitful.
That old man must be very happy now as his words had finally came true.
Lu Yi stood outside for quite some time before he stepped into the house. With his long legs and big footsteps, he only took a few steps to face Yan Huan on the couch.
“I want to know the reason.”
He stared at the woman in front of him. She was ravishing with a delicate and stunning face. Men were after all sensual creatures, this he would never deny. Gorgeous women were a sight for sore eyes and would attract all kinds of men.
Lu Yi had to admit that this was true.
“Reason?” Yan Huan was like a stranger to Lu Yi at this point.
