Sweet Wife in My Arms Chapter 760 - Murderous Intents

Chapter 760: Murderous Intents

“Sleep well. Treat this as your own home.”

He told her nothing; he couldn’t. It had taken a lot of effort to preserve Sun Yuhan’s legs, and he wasn’t about to let all that go to waste. Neither could he toss her aside just because he discovered some things.

After all, she had saved him, and he had made the promise. If anybody was in the wrong, it was him.

He thought it best to not mention anything before her leg recovers.

“Jiu Yue. You are not going to leave me, are you?” she tightened her hand around his. That was her greatest fear. She could no longer do without him.

“I won’t,” said Lu Yi comfortingly. Yet his heart felt heavier than before.

He wasn’t a romantic person, and rarely had any luck with women. He used to believe that he would marry an ordinary woman and live an ordinary life together, like what ordinary couples do. He would never have foreseen a day when he would be caught between two women.

To someone else, this might have been a normal occurrence, but to him it was a disaster.

He didn’t like this type of stuff, but now he was forced to pick a side. He had never met Yan Huan, so he didn’t know what she was like. At present, he was clearly more worried about Sun Yuhan.

It was a military marriage, so he couldn’t file a divorce if the other party did not do anything wrong. Neither did he have any plans to do that. According to his mother, he had married her on his own accord, even at the cost of a nasty beating from his grandfather. If that was true, then he was the one in the wrong, not her.

Lu Yi left the room after Sun Yuhan truly fell asleep. He encountered Lu Jin in the living room.

Lu Jin was nowhere as fervid as when he had first returned. His voice was distant, icy even.

“If you choose to break your marriage oaths for another woman, you are not my son. You can take her and leave, and I will pretend as if you died two years ago.”

With that, he shot up and left without giving him so much as a glance.

A married man having an affair and remarrying? His son wouldn’t do such a thing. And if he does have such plans, he can scram right then and there. Neither he nor the Lu Family can afford to bear such shame.

“Enough already,” said Ye Shuyun, pulling him into the room. “Haven’t you said enough?”

“Said enough?” Lu Jin was rarely this angry. “Do you even know what he plans on doing? He wants to remarry. That’s a crime.”

Ye Shuyun pinched his arm. “You can’t blame him. He doesn’t remember! He had forgotten everything.”

“Forgotten? And that justifies what he’s doing?”

Lu Jin sat down. He wasn’t being very loud and the room had good soundproofing, so they couldn’t hear him from outside, but inside Ye Shuyun was almost going deaf.

“I’m finally sure of something now,” said Ye Shuyun, clamping her hands over her ears.

“And what’s that?” asked Lu Jin. He was so angry his chest hurt.

Ye Shuyun shook her head, her ears still buzzing. “I take back what I said about you being adopted. Your temper is becoming more and more like him.”

Lu Jin’s face went still. The adoption joke had followed him for years, and even at some point, it even made him doubt his own birth.

Hearing it again made him unsure if he should laugh or cry. That calmed him down a little.

Even so, he couldn’t stomach what had become of Lu Yi. If this was how it was going to be, he would rather have him die in the flood two years ago. He would have died saving someone. He would have died after living a worthy life.

If the alive Lu Yi had forgotten his vows and integrity, he could do with one less son.

“Enough, enough,” said Ye Shuyun pacifyingly. His explosive temper was exactly the same as Old Master Lu. Forget what she had said about him being adopted. He would probably beat his grandson when he’s at that age.

“I believe our son wouldn’t do such a thing. He might have lost his integrity, but not his feelings.”

Lu Jin said nothing, but he agreed with Ye Shuyun inwardly.

But they forgot about one thing.

It did not matter whether Lu Yi had lost his memories when he had an affair. Cheating was cheating. Nothing could justify the betrayal.

Yan Huan was not someone to forgive such betrayals. Lu Yi was the only one in the world who knew about her rebirth. But now was taking Lu Qin’s path.

She wouldn’t forgive betrayals, even if it was Lu Yi.

That was who she was. She would rather die like an elegant jade than live like a shabby vase.

Initially, Lu Yi’s return had been the biggest surprise and comfort to all of them. But who would have expected a Sun Yuhan to pop out of nowhere? Who was she, and what kind of relations.h.i.+p did she share with Lu Yi?

When Yi Ling learned about her existence, she had gone straight into the kitchen to arm herself with a chopper.

“What are you doing?” asked Lei Qingyi anxiously as he s.n.a.t.c.hed the chopper away, fearing that she would lose her senses and commit murder.

“Can’t you see for yourself?” said Yi Ling, extending her hand. “Give it back. I’m gonna kill this cheater myself.”

“How dare he abandon my Huanhuan for another woman! I’m going to geld this son of a b.i.t.c.h.”

“Are you hearing yourself?” said Lei Qingyi, tossing the knife back into its container. “We don’t even know the whole story yet! You want to kill him? Fine! Go ahead! But have you thought about what will happen to me and Little Lei? Even if Lu Yi did cheat and you did kill him, who would be there for Yan Huan in the future?”

He knew what Yi Ling’s greatest concern was.

It wasn’t him or Little Lei. It was Yan Huan. He felt terrible when he learned that. Neither he nor their son took the most important place in her heart.

As expected, the fire went out of Yi Ling’s eyes at the mention of Yan Huan’s name. Yes, she couldn’t do such a thing. If she murdered him, she would be given a life sentence. What would happen to Little Lei then? Lei Qingyi would have to find a new mother for her. What follows a stepmother could only be a stepfather.
