Chapter 458: Back Home

Lu Yi took off his jacket and put it over her. “Sleep. We’ll be home by the time you wake up. Back to Sea City. Back home.”

“Liar,” pouted Yan Huan. “I’m not stupid and don’t have a poor sense of direction. It won’t be that fast.”

“I can knock you out if you want,” said Lu Yi, putting her hand on her neck and massaging her stiff muscles. Yes, if he did that, she would really be at home by the time she wakes up.

Yan Huan closed her eyes and pulled his jacket closer to his chin.

The jacket smelled like Lu Yi, though mixed with a strange odor, which was to be expected after going through a few days without washing. However, that smell put Yan Huan at ease and made her feel safe.

Yan Huan’s breathing gradually became balanced as she fell asleep before long. Lu Yi put her to a sitting position so that she was comfortable enough to continue sleeping.

“It’s all thanks to her this time,” sighed Lu Jin. These few days had been like a dream, a dream he could still scarcely believe. He was that close to death.

Lu Yi pondered over what he meant by that. He had considered many possibilities, and the one he found most likely was Yan Huan inviting Lu Jin to have dinner with her, which corresponds with what Yan Huan said. She was most likely paying Dad a visit, and they both happened to be outside, perhaps close to the entrance. That would explain why they were the lucky survivors of the earthquake and how they got out almost unscathed.

“Sigh…” The mention of it made Lu Jin realize how lucky the Lu Family had been to have such a good daughter-in-law.

“Huanhuan saved my life.”

Even now, remembering the situation sent chills down his spine. Even at his age and after all those close encounters with death, this was the first time where he nearly faced off against death. He was merely 5 seconds away from death.

“I was showering at that time, with no intention to go out. I had just arrived after all, so I wanted to get some rest. That was when I heard someone rapping at the door, and I thought to myself, ‘Who could that be?’”

“And when I opened it, Huanhuan was right there. The next moment she was dragging me along the corridor, and by the time we reached the hall, she told me that she felt a tremor in the ground and that it might be an earthquake. She then turned around and shouted at the interior of the hotel. When we went out of the hotel, there were some others who followed us. And by Jove! The quake struck only a few seconds after we were out, collapsing the hotel to rubbles.”

Lu Jin made a mental calculation. If Huanhuan had not dragged him out, he would have been dead by now. Recently, he had been occupied with saving others so the math didn’t cross his mind. Now that he thought about it, given the position and level he was staying at, as well as what he was doing at that time, he would one hundred-percent be dead after the first quake. He would have been squashed before he could react.

Therefore, he owed his life to Yan Huan, as well as the people he saved. He could not remember how many lives they saved, but he did remember pulling out one person after the others with the group of healthy survivors. Some were alive, some dead, and those who were alive added to their efforts. Even though they were at the epicenter of the quake and suffered the worst impact, they had saved the most people too.

“Still…” wondered Lu Jin. “I have asked many people whether they felt the quake coming, but most of them said no. I myself felt nothing too.”

“Perhaps Huanhuan saved me due to some kind of luck.”

“This kid, she’s tough,” Lu Jin looked down at Yan Huan, sleeping soundly on Lu Yi’s legs. “Your mother and I will treat her like our own daughter. You have married the best wife in the world. She single-handedly saved our entire family.”

Lu Yi put his hand on Yan Huan’s hair and brushed it gently. His fingers moved briskly and lightly, afraid to wake her up even though he knew that wouldn’t be easy. She was exhausted beyond words.

The scenery outside was receding, and what was reflected in the car window glass was his thoughtful eyes.

Yan Huan was very mysterious.

He had realized that way back.

It was as though she knew many things that could not be explained easily, and that was reflected through her actions as well.

She seemed to know him well, but she pretended that he was a stranger.

She donated blood to him, but how did she know that he needed a blood transfusion, or that he was Rh-negative AB blood?

She also knew about the troubles that would descend upon the Ye Family, which was why she invested all that money she earned from acting into the Ye Family’s business. The exact amount they needed. And this time, she even saved Lu Jin’s life. It’s as though she knew what was going to happen in the future.

These thoughts have always rested in the back of his mind, but he never told anyone about it.

He took out his phone, but found it black-screened and drained of battery. It seemed like it would be necessary for him to do more research. He hoped that her predictions were wrong—he didn’t want any potential danger to come to Yan Huan, and he had to find out more about those lurking threats she talked about.

The car zoomed past the blockades, meaning that they had finally left the most dangerous spot in Serene City.

Many cars belonging to volunteers and reporters were parked not far away. For every car that parked there, there was a flashing camera and people who wanted to know what was happening there. Were they alright now? Was the rescue mission still ongoing? Was everyone safe? Until now, all they captured were cars racing past them, and that included Lu Jin’s vehicle.

No one knew that Yan Huan was actually in that car.

The car was at full speed, and had soon left everything else in its dust.

Yan Huan rubbed her eyes. Lu Yi was bluffing her after all. There was no way for her to be home after waking up. The distance between Serene City and Sea City could not be covered by the mileage of a tour bus. They had to take the plane.

Which they, of course, did not take in the end.

They took a military plane.

This was the first time Yan Huan had been on a military plane. Yes, a military plane that was only for the use of the army, awash with policemen.

Upon arrival, Lu Jin heard of his promotion to Supreme Commander, a great leap from his initial rank of vice-supreme commander.
