Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 625: Getting Ready

“Just sleep,” Lu Yi patted her gently on the shoulder again and again.
His voice was so soothing that it could make one feel relieved, just like a lullaby without the music.

Yan Huan felt her eyelids get heavier and heavier, eventually causing her to fall asleep.
If she was asked whether she had nightmares, she would not remember.
After all, she did feel much more at ease after pouring out all of her worries.

Perhaps she really should have just voiced it all since the start.

History would not change, the floods would still come, but the number of deaths might be reduced.
As such, maybe their comrades in the military would still be alive.

She grasped her right arm with her left hand, but she sensed nothing was wrong.
He Yibin had told her to avoid stressing this arm, so Yan Huan had listened to him and took it easy.

Like the saying ‘sharpening your axe will not delay the chopping of wood’, it was better for her to rest at the moment.

“I will not attend as I have not recovered yet,” Yan Huan held a glass in one hand and her phone in the other as she sat on the sofa, talking to Luo Lin who was on the line.

“Are you sure?” Luo Lin asked again, “You just have to show up for a bit, and maybe shoot a few brief cameos.
Your company is investing in that movie, and you are a public figure, yet you are unwilling to attend? Aren’t you afraid that the movie will be a flop?”

“With or without me, the movie will not fail.” Yan Huan reckoned that her appearance or lack thereof would not influence the ratings of the movie.
Those who wanted to watch it would still watch no matter what, and the same was true for the reverse.

The television drama Sound Of Wind was invested in and produced by Linlang, and consisted of 50 episodes in total.
It would be honored as the best drama of the year along with its exceptional ratings.
The drama would neither hit the peak nor plummet to its death just because of Yan Huan’s presence or absence.

The audience would only recognize and acknowledge spectacular and impressive dramas.

Those who make up the bulk of the audience were ordinary people, not the actors themselves.
It all depended on the performance of the actors and the endeavours of the film crew to attract and captivate the viewers.

True gold will shine sooner or later.

Owing to a good start in her career and the resources that Yan Huan had fought to earn for herself in recent years, Linlang had now ascended to a new level.
Now, she could compete with the Su family with her extraordinary achievements.
Even though Su Muran could not escape her fatal disease at the end, the Su family still would not be able to do anything to Yan Huan.

“Do you mean that we need to activate the civil defence alarm there?” Lei Qingyi stood up suddenly.
Isn’t the timing kind of weird?

“Safety drill,” Lu Yi explained as he lowered his gaze and clenched his fists on the table.
“Every student from all elementary and high schools must be present.
I believe you can handle it.”

“Erm…” Lei Qingyi scratched his head, “It is not that hard, I think it can be done.” However, it’s a lot easier to just submit a request to his superior.
Why did he insist on planning all of this by himself? Does he have nothing better to do?

“That shall be the plan for the moment,” Lu Yi stood up and grabbed his coat from the chair at the side.
“I’m going home.
You can come see me personally if you encounter any problems.”

“Why would I need to see you?” asked Lei Qingyi while patting his chest proudly.

“I can handle this one myself.
Don’t you look down on me, I am the head of the National Security Department after all.”

“Oh yeah, by the way,” Lei Qingyi thought about something and smiled like an idiot.

“Lu Yi, my son learned how to to walk.
My mother told me that his chubby hands and legs are as sturdy as mine when I was a toddler.
She said that he must be a healthy baby as well.”

“Is he?” Lu Yi remembered Lei Qingyi’s son.
Now that his friend mentioned it, he did miss that chubby little thing.
Huanhuan was in a bad mood recently, so maybe he could bring her to visit Little Lei.
She doted on Little Lei the most.

There was still a month left and he needed to figure out the best way to minimize the loss.
He hoped that the fortune teller was talking nonsense.
In fact, he had tried to look for the fortune teller again, wanting to ask for any possible methods to alleviate the problem.

However, to his disappointment, he could not find the person anymore.
He might need to wait for another temple festival before he could ask him about the ways to resolve the hardships.
He hoped that everything was going to turn out fine.

He sincerely hoped so.

Once again, he drove back to the procuratorate to pick up a map before he went back home.

At home, Yan Huan glanced at the unfurled map and found that the map was drawn with precision.

“This is a diagram that shows the distribution of the river bank from the sea.
Take a look and try to figure out where are the problems.”

Yan Huan was handed a pen.
Actually, she had no idea where to draw because she only knew that the flood would hit Sea City from her previous life, but Sea City was so huge that she did not know which part of it would be destroyed.

She focused and tried to remember where the flood came from.

She bit the top of the pen and started to circle out some possible locations on the map.

She tried her best to gather her scattered memories and jotted down everything she could recall.

“That’s all that I know.
I do not remember any others.” She passed the map back to Lu Yi, who took the map and scanned through it quickly.
Then, he cupped Yan Huan’s face and said, “I’m going to be a bit busy so you’re on your own today.
Don’t go anywhere, I will bring you to visit Yi Ling and Little Lei tomorrow.”

“Lei Qingyi said that Little Lei had learned how to call him daddy.”

“That’s good,” Yan Huan stood up and prepared to watch tv by herself.
She had forgotten that the new episode of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils would be broadcasted the day before.
She had felt so gloomy recently so she had forgotten about it.
She decided to watch the drama as it starred Su Muran and Lu Qin.

She had heard that the filming location was vast and magnificent.
Besides that, she knew that the drama had a star-studded cast but she was unsure about its ratings.

Of course, the ratings of the drama could be a disaster with the existence of Su Muran, who was known as the box office poison.

The ratings of the drama would not be too good unless the reputation of the drama itself could save it.
After all, the story of Demi-gods and Semi-Devils had been adapted several times.
The audiences could watch the other versions despite the existence of the newest.

She switched on the television and searched for the drama.
She found that it had already broadcasted two episodes.

She wrapped her arms around a pillow after switching on the television.
Then, she sat back and relaxed, feeling so lazy that she was reluctant to move.

Director Yan’s productions were always artistically appealing.
It was undeniable that the scenes from the drama were shot beautifully and gracefully, not to mention that all the actors and actresses were eye candies.
However, the goddess of the drama had yet to appear.
Nevertheless, the drama seemed to have a good start.

Yan Huan began to fast forward to the scene where the character named Duan Yu who was played by Lu Qin would show up.
In her opinion, Lu Qin’s performance was lacking compared to the previous versions of the drama.
His acting skills were stiff and his eyes were too shifty.
Yan Huan knew Lu Qin’s weakness in acting.
In this life, Lu Qin did not have anyone to help him sharpen his acting skill, hence his improvement was slow.
She had forgotten that she was the one who had shaped him into the success he had become.
