Sweet Wife in My Arms

slam of door from outside startled her.
She immediately cut the light and hid in the bathroom.

 The door opened into darkness with the lights shut, where the footsteps could be heard clearly at the door.
But they didn’t leave.

 “What do you plan to do with this woman? I warned you.
They say not to expect actors and bitches to have a heart for a reason.
Now this woman is going to haunt you for the rest of her life.”

 “Mother, you know why I married her,” Lu Qin groaned.
“With our position in the family, being a movie star is my only chance to turn this around.
A Lu as I am, it’s not easy to get family support.
If it wasn’t for this stupid woman, how could I possibly have achieved what I have today?”

 “She is quite stupid,” the woman chuckled.
“Otherwise she wouldn’t have helped you out of her own pocket.
But what now? You just saved Su Muran and did the Sus a huge favor, plus that chick was all about you now.
Once we hook up with her family, we can embrace our golden era.
It’s just… what if she finds out that you’re married?”

 “Who says I’m married?” Lu Qin scoffed.
“As long as I don’t admit it, nobody dares to say I am.
It’s no more than a divorce paper, I got it.”

 “What now, then?” His mother was still not placated.
“She’s still Mrs.
Lu.”

 “Easy, Mom, listen,” Lu Qin leaned over and closed the door behind them so as not to be heard.
They had no idea, however, that the one they thought was deep asleep was wide awake and heard it all.

 The door creaked again.
The mother and son left.

 Yan Huan walked out of the bathroom soaked in her own sweat, her face gloomier than ever.
