Chapter 426: Ready To Announce It?

“You sure about this?” asked Lu Yi, playing with the card in his hand. “Smells like a botched investment to me.”

“No,” Yan Huan shook her phone. “I’m certain it’ll work out. I have always been right about these things, no?”

“Very sure?” Lu Yi gently rubbed her finger joint with his finger. Her fingers were fine. The injury had left some scars, but they were mostly light scars on the inside of her palm.

“Very. You can’t make money without taking risks. It’s a necessary investment.”

Yes, that had always been Yan Huan’s intention. The only use she had for all this money was to invest in the airport.

Remembering Yi Ling’s bulging tummy, Yan Huan felt a little envious. But she’ll keep that to herself. Maybe it’s destined for her not to have a child, whether it was in her previous or current life. Otherwise, why would her child die at 6 months?

If so, she won’t force things.

This was fine too. She had already lived one more life than anyone else, what’s there to be discontent about?

Lowering his head, Lu Yi saw his quivering lashes. He could roughly guess what was on her mind. However, there were some burdens he wanted to carry by himself. If she really wanted a child, there was always the option of adoption.

On the next day, Lu Yi paid a visit to the Ye Family. Right now, Ye Chuji was still bummed by the lack of money. Everything would be solved if he had another billion…but where? He didn’t even know where to find half a billion.

The airport matter had nearly crushed the Ye Family. Thankfully, everything worked out and things would get better once they tough it out.

“Here, Uncle, take this,” said Lu Yi, handing a card over to Ye Chuji.

“Could this be…” asked Ye Chuji as he took the card. A bank card. Could it really be…?!

“There’s six billion in it. You need it, right, Uncle?” said Lu Yi bluntly. He explained everything he wanted to know so that he wouldn’t overthink.

“Six…billion?” asked Ye Chuji. The words somehow made his throat sore.

“Lu Yi, be honest now, did you get this through corruption?”

“What makes you think I can get 6 billion through corruption, Uncle?”

How could a prosecutor like him break the law knowingly? Plus, even if he wanted to, he would have needed a place to supply him six billion.

It was six billion, and not six million or six hundred-thousand after all.

“But this…” Ye Chuji realized how stupid he sounded too. However, six billion was a heavy gift, in spite of it being stored in a thin card. Six billion cash in that tiny card. This wasn’t something anyone could get their hands on. With this, he could rest easy for the rest of the year, instead of running around seeking for investors.

“Huanhuan earned it through movie investments. She said this is an investment as well.”

“You got a good eye for investments,” Ye Chuji patted him on the shoulders. “And for people, too. When the airport is built, I’ll cut the best bonuses for you. And for her too, of course.”

Lu Yi trusted him. His grandfather and uncle, with their insight, weren’t the kind that would drive themselves into a corner. They only took on the tough project because there were profits to be gained. Profits that would benefit the latter generations.

And they’ll do anything for their children and grandchildren.

At night, Yan Huan had a craving for hotpot. Lying on her stomach on the bed, she pressed her chin against Lu Yi’s shoulders. Lu Yi was busy with work, tapping away on a laptop on his lap.

Yan Huan knew nothing about his job.

However, he liked it when she spent time with him, occasionally interrupting him.

“Lu Yi…”

“Hmm?” said Lu Yi, putting his hand around her exposed feet. “Cover your feet with the blanket. It’s cold.”

Yan Huan did as she was told obediently and hooped her hands around Lu Yi’s neck.

“Can we eat hotpot? I’m craving for it,” she pointed at Lu Yi’s laptop. Lu Yi shut his laptop together.

“Aren’t you afraid of someone sneaking a photo of you?”

“Nope,” Yan Huan shook her head. Fans are a lot more forgiving these days.

“Do you want the whole world to know about it?” asked Lu Yi, putting his laptop aside. He turned and looked into Yan Huan’s pretty eyes. Is it time for the great revelation?

“You don’t want to?” Yan Huan pouted. “Could it be that you think it’s embarrassing for you?”

“Nonsense.”

Lu Yi put on a serious face, but he didn’t look threatening at all.

He took Yan Huan’s clothes and put it on for her, then spruced up her hair and put a hat on her head. It was a white hat made from rabbit fur, which made her skin even more white and clear. She looked more rabbit than human.

Lu Yi took Yan Huan to a famous hotpot restaurant in town. Yan Huan wasn’t wearing any disguise or makeup. Her youthful face, pretty and energetic, was like a freshly-bloomed flower.

Yan Huan realized that someone had been tailing them from the moment she stepped out of the car, but she didn’t care. Still, she felt a little sorry for Lu Yi.

People from the Lu Family don’t get married secretly—other than that scum Lu Qin.

It has been a long time since Yan Huan could go out without having to be mindful of anything.

Lu Yi piled her bowl up with food, knowing that she would eat whatever he put in there. How picky could she get with his “force-feeding”?

It was the best hotpot she ever had.

And it had the largest serving to top it off.

Yi Ling had finally found a home—a husband, a family, parents that loved her, and even her own child. Even though Yan Huan could never have her own child, she had Lu Yi. It was a little disappointing, but she was content. She shouldn’t be greedy. This was good enough. Good enough.

Her eyes turned misty. She blinked gently, pushing out a drop of tear.

Lu Yi wiped at the corner of her eyes with his finger.

“What’s wrong, baby?”

“Nothing?” Yan Huan wiped the tear away. “I’m just thinking about how lucky I am to have you in this life.”

Lu Yi smiled, but the soft spot of his heart ached.
