Sweet Wife in My Arms

No socks, so typical of her.

 “What are you looking at?” Yi Ling slurped up a strand of noodle and put the bowl down to touch Yan Huan’s face.
“Don’t fall for me, baby.
As handsome as I look, I got boobs and I’m a woman who likes men, you know.
And you don’t want to come out of the closet if you want to make a name for yourself, got it?”

 Yan Huan shoved her hand off.
“Stop it, I just feel like you gained some weight lately.”

 “No way,” Yi Ling touched her own face, sucking her cheeks in.
“I didn’t! I lost some, actually.” Despite her denial, she suddenly lost her appetite for the three bowls of noodles on the table.

 Yan Huan went back to the kitchen to cook something for herself, her eyes falling on Yi Ling outside, blurred.

 Yi Ling, this is great.
I’m alive.
You’re alive.

 Yi Ling was an orphan Yan Huan had met at ten and she had been staying with her since then.
Yi Ling saw Yan Huan’s mother as her own and Yan Huan as her sister.
She used to be an ordinary girl no different than others, but she became more masculine as she grew up.
Because Yi Ling knew that only she could protect her family, her vulnerable mother and little sister, she stepped up to a man’s position.

 1When Yan Huan first launched her career in showbiz, Yi Ling took on the job of agent, even though she didn’t like it, and started looking for opportunities for her.
Just when their lives started to get better after Yan Huan had earned some celebrity status, Yi Ling met a man who then played her, just like how Lu Qin played Yan Huan, and died after jumping from the 25th floor.
