Sweet Wife in My Arms Chapter 458 - Back Home

Chapter 458: Back Ho

Lu Yi took off his jacket and put it over her. “Sleep. We’ll be ho by the ti you wake up. Back to Sea City. Back ho.”

“Liar,” pouted Yan Huan. “I’m not stupid and don’t have a poor sense of direction. It won’t be that fast.”

“I can knock you out if you want,” said Lu Yi, putting her hand on her neck and massaging her stiff muscles. Yes, if he did that, she would really be at ho by the ti she wakes up.

Yan Huan closed her eyes and pulled his jacket closer to his chin.

The jacket slled like Lu Yi, though mixed with a strange odor, which was to be expected after going through a few days without washing. However, that sll put Yan Huan at ease and made her feel safe.

Yan Huan’s breathing gradually beca balanced as she fell asleep before long. Lu Yi put her to a sitting position so that she was comfortable enough to continue sleeping.

“It’s all thanks to her this ti,” sighed Lu Jin. These few days had been like a dream, a dream he could still scarcely believe. He was that close to death.

Lu Yi pondered over what he ant by that. He had considered many possibilities, and the one he found most likely was Yan Huan inviting Lu Jin to have dinner with her, which corresponds with what Yan Huan said. She was most likely paying Dad a visit, and they both happened to be outside, perhaps close to the entrance. That would explain why they were the lucky survivors of the earthquake and how they got out almost unscathed.

“Sigh...” The ntion of it made Lu Jin realize how lucky the Lu Family had been to have such a good daughter-in-law.

“Huanhuan saved my life.”

Even now, rembering the situation sent chills down his spine. Even at his age and after all those close encounters with death, this was the first ti where he nearly faced off against death. He was rely 5 seconds away from death.

“I was showering at that ti, with no intention to go out. I had just arrived after all, so I wanted to get so rest. That was when I heard soone rapping at the door, and I thought to myself, ‘Who could that be?’”

“And when I opened it, Huanhuan was right there. The next mont she was dragging along the corridor, and by the ti we reached the hall, she told that she felt a tremor in the ground and that it might be an earthquake. She then turned around and shouted at the interior of the hotel. When we went out of the hotel, there were so others who followed us. And by Jove! The quake struck only a few seconds after we were out, collapsing the hotel to rubbles.”

Lu Jin made a ntal calculation. If Huanhuan had not dragged him out, he would have been dead by now. Recently, he had been occupied with saving others so the math didn’t cross his mind. Now that he thought about it, given the position and level he was staying at, as well as what he was doing at that ti, he would one hundred-percent be dead after the first quake. He would have been squashed before he could react.

Therefore, he owed his life to Yan Huan, as well as the people he saved. He could not rember how many lives they saved, but he did rember pulling out one person after the others with the group of healthy survivors. So were alive, so dead, and those who were alive added to their efforts. Even though they were at the epicenter of the quake and suffered the worst impact, they had saved the most people too.

“Still...” wondered Lu Jin. “I have asked many people whether they felt the quake coming, but most of them said no. I myself felt nothing too.”

“Perhaps Huanhuan saved due to so kind of luck.”

“This kid, she’s tough,” Lu Jin looked down at Yan Huan, sleeping soundly on Lu Yi’s legs. “Your mother and I will treat her like our own daughter. You have married the best wife in the world. She single-handedly saved our entire family.”

Lu Yi put his hand on Yan Huan’s hair and brushed it gently. His fingers moved briskly and lightly, afraid to wake her up even though he knew that wouldn’t be easy. She was exhausted beyond words.

The scenery outside was receding, and what was reflected in the car window glass was his thoughtful eyes.

Yan Huan was very mysterious.

He had realized that way back.

It was as though she knew many things that could not be explained easily, and that was reflected through her actions as well.

She seed to know him well, but she pretended that he was a stranger.

She donated blood to him, but how did she know that he needed a blood transfusion, or that he was Rh-negative AB blood?

She also knew about the troubles that would descend upon the Ye Family, which was why she invested all that money she earned from acting into the Ye Family’s business. The exact amount they needed. And this ti, she even saved Lu Jin’s life. It’s as though she knew what was going to happen in the future.

These thoughts have always rested in the back of his mind, but he never told anyone about it.

He took out his phone, but found it black-screened and drained of battery. It seed like it would be necessary for him to do more research. He hoped that her predictions were wrong—he didn’t want any potential danger to co to Yan Huan, and he had to find out more about those lurking threats she talked about.

The car zood past the blockades, aning that they had finally left the most dangerous spot in Serene City.

Many cars belonging to volunteers and reporters were parked not far away. For every car that parked there, there was a flashing cara and people who wanted to know what was happening there. Were they alright now? Was the rescue mission still ongoing? Was everyone safe? Until now, all they captured were cars racing past them, and that included Lu Jin’s vehicle.

No one knew that Yan Huan was actually in that car.

The car was at full speed, and had soon left everything else in its dust.

Yan Huan rubbed her eyes. Lu Yi was bluffing her after all. There was no way for her to be ho after waking up. The distance between Serene City and Sea City could not be covered by the mileage of a tour bus. They had to take the plane.

Which they, of course, did not take in the end.

They took a military plane.

This was the first ti Yan Huan had been on a military plane. Yes, a military plane that was only for the use of the army, awash with policen.

Upon arrival, Lu Jin heard of his promotion to Supre Commander, a great leap from his initial rank of vice-supre commander.
