Sweet Wife in My Arms

all corner out of the entire king-sized bed.

He walked toward her and sat on the bed.
He rested his hand against her forehead.
Her body temperature was lower than normal, and her face was pale.

“You’re back,” Yan Huan opened her eyes, still not willing to move.
She held onto his big hands tightly.
He found that both her hands were cold.

“Why are your hands so cold?” Lu Yi held Yan Huan’s hands tightly and pulled them under the blanket in an attempt to warm them up.

“I’m fine,” Yan Huan snorted.
“My stomach is cramping though.”

“Stomach?” A thought suddenly came to Lu Yi’s mind.
He reached through the blanket and placed his big hand on Yan Huan’s abdomen.
In a jiffy, it was as if the warmth from his hand had seeped through her skin, spreading to the depths of her stomach.

“Is the pain unbearable?” He was thinking if he should let He Yibin come over.
If the pain was too much, he would not let her suffer to this extent anymore.

“It is okay.
It’s only a slight pain,” Yan Huan lied before sitting up straight carefully.
Then, she felt a warm stream of blood flow down her thigh.

She pulled off the blanket immediately and walked toward the toilet.
She was worried that her blood would wet her shorts.

Her body was just like what the housekeeper had said.
She had indeed mistreated her body when she was younger.
However, this was not totally her fault as she used to act as a stunt double in films.
This was the only way to earn more money as she was poor.
She would wrap herself in a thick cotton coat during spring and soak in cold water during winter.
Regardless of whether she was on her period, she had to subject herself to extreme conditions if it was requested of her.

There were some times where electricity and hot water were not available at home.
In that case, she was forced to shower with ice-cold water.
This was how she survived for all those years.
She did not take proper care of her health.
Now, her body was giving her a taste of her own medicine.

When she walked out of the toilet, she looked so weak that it seemed like she was going to faint anytime.

Lu Yi immediately went to support her and helped her sit down.
After that, he served her a glass of warm water.

“Why are you so weak every time during your menstrual period?” He sat cross-legged in front of her and put her legs on his, rubbing her hands and legs alternately as not only were her hands cold, but her legs as well.

“I was used to ignoring it,” Yan Huan explained as she held the glass and drank in greedy gulps.
Her legs were in Lu Yi’s hands and she felt so warm.
Gradually, she felt the pain in her abdomen recede.

“There was a time when we soaked in cold water during winter.
Yiyi and I were so poor.
There was neither hot water nor a radiator in the house.
We had to put up with cold water to bathe with during winter.
That was what we had to go through during hard times.
That was the reason why I am suffering now, I brought this upon myself.”

Lu Yi took Yan Huan’s slippers and put it on her feet.

“Let’s go and eat first.
Aunty made black-boned chicken soup, you should drink more of it.”

“Okay,” Yan Huan agreed.
She rubbed her stomach, feeling much better now.
The brown sugar ginger soup that Aunty served her today had finally worked its wonders.

Lu Yi brought Yan Huan to the washroom to wash her hands.

“Use warm water.
Don’t even think of using cold water.” If Lu Yi was at home, he would never let her use cold water again.
This was because he already knew of her condition.
It would be beneficial to her body if she stopped using cold water.
If she had continued to do so, then she might end up crying from the pain.

“Oh, I recalled something,” Yan Huan put her fingers under the flush of hot water, which brought her unfathomable comfort.
