The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 137 Just for today



Xia Meilin maintained her distance for the following days. Meanwhile, Lu Yifeng did the same for her. He was not going to force her to him since he knows it will frighten her. Other than that, he tightened the securities around her for her safety since he knows that someone was after her.

In the end, Xia Meilin decided to stay in that villa. The way Lu Yifeng treated her made her good memories overwhelmed her bad ones. Despite that, she was still wary of him that’s why she was sleeping in a different room and she rarely talked with him.

Her feelings for him were mixed. Xia Meilin knows that he was a dangerous man and yet, he made her feel safe. He was different, he was patient and kind with her, he was treating her really well. This was bringing confusion to her, whenever she thinks that she wants to leave the place, another feeling would well up which made her stay.

It’ll be easy to continue hating him, it’ll be easy to make herself kill him if he was the Lu Yifeng of her past but the man in front of her was different.

The place she was staying was a place where she experienced horrible things in her past life but in this present life, this house was filled with nothing but happiness and warmth. Such diffence between her past and present, what made it turn this way?

Lu Yifeng raped her, and he still forced her to marry him but... he didn’t destroy her family. In fact, he proved himself to her grandparents. He didn’t do anything that can make her hate him after they got married.

He raped her? She suddenly recalled the time where she spoke with Li Bingbing.

Weren’t they both victims? But still... Lu Yifeng in the past forced her after they got married. Even if the first night was a mistake, the nights after they got married wasn’t, because of that, he’s still a rapist for her. He was forceful and horrible to her in her past life.

’We should never be a prisoner of our past.’ She said those words to Li Bingbing and yet here she was, her past keeps on haunting her as she looked at Lu Yifeng but at the same time, the good memories she made with him were contradicting the bad ones. He was not the Lu Yifeng she knows, he was really different.

Xia Meilin was sitting on a sofa, reading a book, while Lu Yifeng was on his laptop. They didn’t say anything since both were doing something of their own.

Lu Yifeng was wearing a simple shirt and pants with a cashmere coat on. Meanwhile, Xia Meilin was wearing a maternity dress with a floral design. Her baby bump was growing and at that moment, she was already three months pregnant.

Little Melon entered the room. He was wearing the same suit and there was holding a plastic pumpkin basket. "Momma! Dada! Let’s go!"

Xia Meilin and Lu Yifeng turned their heads to look at their son and they couldn’t help but be surprised at it. They took a glance at each other. Xia Meilin was the first to break contact.

"You’re supposed to wear a Halloween costume, right?"

Little Melon nodded cutely. "Mello is dressed like dada. Mello’s gonna haunt the monsters and ghosts with dada. We will defeat them!"

"You’re going to a Halloween party." Xia Meilin said. She closed her book and stared at her son. The Little Melon of this world loves Lu Yifeng a lot, it was different from her past life.

"Then Mello and dada will haunt them while we’re on the way, right dada?" Little Melon beamed happily. "Mello has gun too!"

He took out his toy gun. When he pressed it, it shoots out water. "See~?!"

Lu Yifeng chuckled at this. He went and picked his son up. He turned to Xia Meilin, "Let’s go."

She took her coat and wore it befor she walked towards them.

"Are you sure you want to go with us?" Lu Yifeng asked worriedly.

Xia Meilin nodded. "I want to meet uncle Yong." This was something that never changed. Yong Wei Qing never appeared in her past life, she even didn’t know that he actually existed. She wants to know more about her mother’s family.

Lu Yifeng sighed in defeat. He reached out and offered his hand to her.

Xia Meilin turned and frowned when she saw this. She ignored it and walked ahead but what made her stop was when Lu Yifeng grab her hand. She turned to him and glared. "Don’t touch me."

"Bear with it for now. I don’t want you to step on something and suddenly slip when we get out."

She pursed her lips and looked away. "Just for today."

Little Melon stared at his parents and blinked a few times, "Are momma and dada fighting?"

"No, we’re not." Lu Yifeng smiled. "I didn’t allow her to eat another apple candy so she’s mad."

"Candies are delicious, dada."

"Yes, they are. But they have sugar in them, too much sugar can be bad." He explained. "You don’t want your mother to get sick do you?"

Little Melon turned to Xia Meilin. "Momma, you should listen to dada. Too much candies can make you sick."

Xia Meilin huffed in response and decided to ignore the father and son duo. "We’re going to be late if we won’t leave now."
