Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 280: She Has Backing Too

She placed the script on the table before picking Little Bean up. Then, she carefully caressed his soft fur. Little Bean yawned and lied lazily on its owner’s legs, allowing her to caress its fur.

“You are taking this up?” Luo Lin was a little surprised. She had a feeling that Yan Huan was in fact a prideful woman and had just won the best newcomer award. She was supposed to be the best female lead but had been stopped by others and was now the second female lead. She was the evil supporting actress.

This wasn’t something any actress who was getting famous would be able to take the lying. Yan Huan’s idea now was to continue acting in this show as the second female lead, as the evil supporting actress?

“Yes, why not?” Yan Huan pinched Little Bean’s ears. Who do you think will win? The wife or the mistress?

Luo Lin eyes lit up, she understood. Yan Huan’s acting was indeed incredible and not many people in this industry could compete against her. Su Muran had just returned from overseas and wants to make Yan Huan her supporting actress. Then, she would need to figure out if she was able to suppress Yan Huan’s acting. Not many people are able to do so.

“But have you thought about it, if you offend the Su family, what will they do to you? Will they get someone to kill you off?”

She didn’t believe that if Yan Huan really suppressed Su Muran, the Su family wouldn’t do anything.

“Don’t worry about this, I will think of a way,” Yan Huan carried Little Bean and stood up. She had never had any interaction with anyone from the Su family before but she knew every family were very protective of their own. Su Muran managed to get anything she wanted but at the end of the day she still fell ill with Thalassaemia.

Su Muran good days will come to an end soon, as for how she would fend herself off the troubles that the Su family will give her.

As for this…

She still wasn’t very sure about this.

She took out her phone and decided to give that person a call.

“Lu Yi, it’s me.”

“What’s wrong?” Lu Yi put down the pen in his hand, he wasn’t able to multitask.

“You said you will protect me, is it true?” Yan Huan carried Little Bean in one hand and walked to the balcony. Everything seemed small as she looked down from here. If she wasn’t careful, she would smash into smithereens, there would be no chance of survival.

“For the rest of my life,” Lu Yi leaned back, “this promise will be in effect.”

“Who have you offended?” He was starting to understand Yan Huan. She wouldn’t look for him usually and when she does, she was about to cause trouble.

Yan Huan pouted, “Not yet, but soon enough.”

“Okay,” Lu Yi waited for her answer.

“I have been replaced as the first female lead; I am the second female lead now. I want to suppress her.” Yan Huan squatted and placed Little Bean on the floor. Little Bean quickly ran away, ignoring its owner.

“Their family background isn’t simple.”

Lu Yi replied, “Who is it?”

“Su Muran from the Su family,” Yan Huan was honest. She couldn’t hide anything from him; she needed him from now on.

“Su Muran?” Lu Yi was surprised. Ah, it is the Su family.

“Go suppress her,” Lu Yi said calmly, there was no tone in his voice. “With me around, even those from the Su family need skills to enter the entertainment industry. If they don’t and only gain success through opportunities granted to them, they must be able to take it lying down too.”

“You don’t like her?”

Yan Huan understood Lu Yi. The Lu and Su family had some tensions and weren’t as good as she imagined. However, the Su family were wealthy and Lu Qin had something with their family back then because he was attracted to their wealth. Did Lu Yi not eye that before?

“Why must I like them?” Lu Yi didn’t have a very good impression of Su family and Su Muran.

He still remembered at a gathering when he was young, Su Muran tried to blame Lei Qingyi even though she had fell down herself. Lei Qingyi was punished severely by his father. He knew then that he would never like this girl in his life. She had many scheming ideas from a young age; she couldn’t be any better when she grew up.

The Su family weren’t saint; they all had rather mediocre characters.

“That’s right,” Lu Yi leaned forward again and tapped on his phone, “I want to eat dumplings tonight.”

“Okay, I will make for you.” Yan Huan smiled happily. She felt the sun especially warm today. She would go buy the groceries in a while, some fresh prawns to make prawn dumplings.

Lu Yi loved them the most.

She hung up and went out to get the groceries. She wanted to buy them herself and she needed to choose the prawns too.

Who said she couldn’t get her own groceries after becoming famous?

She wore her cap and a mask with a pair of shades. No one would recognize her like this. Now that she was fully disguised, she could set off.

She went to buy prawns at the market and she chose the big prawns one by one on her own. She had no idea that even though she was fully disguised, people had recognized her and had taken many photos of her secretly.

Only when those photos were uploaded online did she know that she had been filmed. However, those photo angles were decent and she looked pretty good in them. The news was positive too.

Famous actress Yan Huan looking pretty and good at cooking. It was a pity they couldn’t eat them. The photos of her were good.

Yan Huan finished buying the groceries and went home to make the dumplings.

Back home, she cleaned the prawns and removed their heads before taking out their intestines. She then chopped them out and added mushrooms and eggs to them. She was busy the whole time and made the dumplings alone without asking for help. No one in this house could make them as good as her. She could forget about Yi Ling. She only knew how to eat and if she let her make the dumplings, they wouldn’t be dumplings. They would be buns.

She did a head count. Her, Yi Ling, Luo Lin, Lu Yi and of course, Lei Qingyi. Lei Qingyi had a huge appetite and he was taller and stronger than everyone else. Of course, he needed twice the amount of what the rest ate.

Yan Huan looked at the plate of dumplings that she had made and couldn’t help but sigh from tiredness. Her entire face had flour.

She really felt that all these dumplings alone weren’t even enough for Lei Qingyi.

Alright, she would make more. Luckily she had bought enough prawns or else she wouldn’t have anything to make the dumplings with.

She almost made a whole freezer of dumplings. She was pretty sure they would be enough. She would cook these dumplings when they arrived later.
