Sweet Wife in My Arms

is is what menopause does to people.”

Lu Yi was speechless.

Yan Huan made sure that her clothes were in order before walking out.
She took the lift down and walked outside alone.
The sky was gloomy.
She paused and raised her head, noticing that it was already drizzling.

The rain under this weather was not that cold.
However, it still felt cold as the rain fell on her.
She wrapped herself up tightly in her clothes and continued to walk with her head down, until the rain seemed to have stopped.
She paused in her steps and raised her head.
She realized that there was an umbrella above her head.

She knew who was holding that umbrella, without a sense of doubt.

She did not speak a word.
She kept moving forward instead.
Meanwhile, the person behind her continued to follow her.
The umbrella was still held above her head.
The rain started to get heavier; some raindrops fell onto her face.
The raindrops on the ground looked as if they were dancing; the rain creating a mud splatter.
The petrichor was accompanied by a gush of cold air.

There were ripples at places where the rain dropped.

She walked to a mall to take shelter from the rain.
However, she noticed that the man was still holding the umbrella as he stood in the rain.
He had been standing behind her all along.

Yan Huan walked up the steps and stood there without saying a word.
Meanwhile, the rain was getting heavier.
It almost turned into a downpour in the end.
She could still sense the chill of the rain, splashing on her even though she was sheltered.

As for that man, he stood upright all this while, without even moving a single inch.

The distance between them right now was not merely a few steps away; it seemed to be greater and further than that.

It was still raining, and the people on the streets were dwindling.
The breeze smelled like petrichor; it felt cold and desolate.
The sky gradually became darker.

The street lights lit up, casting bright pools of light under the fine drizzle.
There were cars passing along the street.
Many pedestrians seemed to be drenched from the rainwater which was occasionally splashed up by the cars.
Yan Huan held her handphone in front of her.
Actually, she was not even taking a picture of anything; she was merely recording a video of how the rain turned from a mere drizzle into a heavy downpour.
At this moment, it had almost turned into a torrential rain.

Once again, she tugged her coat tighter around herself and walked away.

Meanwhile, that man stepped forward at the same time and held the umbrella above her head.

Yan Huan raised her head and looked at the umbrella above her.
All of a sudden, tears started to well up in her eyes.

That person, do you still remember the man who was holding the umbrella?

That person, do you still remember that woman who was completely drenched in the rain?

However, things had changed over time.
In fact, so many years had passed.

She turned around and lowered her head.
She stepped on the puddles from time to time, creating one hole after another.

She had come out for a stroll.
However, when it was time to go home, she did not know where to go.

Yes, where should she go? Although she had a net worth of over 100 million, she did not even have her own person space.
Thus, she made up her mind.
She would clean up her personal space tomorrow.
However, it was currently occupied by Yi Ling’s junk.

She stepped into the water again.
There were many puddles on the ground, too many to be avoided.

Her shoes were soaked; so were her socks.

As for where she should go, it seemed like she had nowhere to go.
The only place that she could go was Lu Yi’s.
She did not even bring her identity card along with her; thus, she could not check-in at a hotel.
Furthermore, her clothes were completely drenched.
She did not even have any spare clothes to change into.
