The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

With the way Xia Meilin’s voice sounded, Lu Yifeng was pretty sure that she’ll be asking him a couple of questions concerning the their stay in Sicily.

He pulled the blanket until Little Melon’s shoulder. "We can talk tomorrow. It’s getting late, you need to rest."

Xia Meilin’s lips stretched out into a thin line as she stared at him in annoyance. She walked towards the bathroom and entered it.

She looked at the bathtub. It was big and from the size of it, five people can fit in. She filled the tub with a warm water before she took off her clothes. She sat on the stool and washed her body clean. By the time she was done, the tub was already full. She carefully entered it and sat inside.

The warm bath helped her lighten her mood that’s why the annoyance she felt earlier instantly faded.

The bathroom door went open and Lu Yifeng entered. His eyes fell down on his wife.

Xia Meilin ignored him, she rested her head on the side and closed her eyes.

Lu Yifeng sighed. What did he do wrong this time? He took off his clothes and washed himself before he entered the tub and sat in front of her.

She opened her eyes and looked at him with a glare. "Who said you can join?"

"I did, now come here."

Xia Meilin pursed her lips and looked at his sexy body. She bit her lower lip. She turned away with her face red. She just realized that they were actually naked together inside a tub.

"Meilin."

She pursed her lips and went to him. She sat in front of him and rested her bare back on his hard chest. Lu Yifeng snaked his arms around her and touched her tummy. "Xingyan and Weichun."

"Huh?" She slightly turned her head to look at him.

"Let’s name our girls Lu Xingyan and Lu Weichun." He smiled.

Xingyan and Weichun. Xia Meilin couldn’t help but smile at names he suggested, the names were beautiful and lovely.

"Xiao Xing (Little Star) and Xiao Chun (Little Spring)... I think it will suit them well." She rested her head on his shoulder as she placed her hands on top of his.

His lips curled up, he kissed her by her temple. "I’m glad you did."

"Though, I prefer naming them after food." She chuckled softly.

"It’s my turn to name our children, you can name our next child."

"Okay!" She grinned happily.

Lu Yifeng was glad to see that her face brightened up. He inwardly sighed in relief when he was able to pacify his wife. Her sudden mood swings were too dangerous for him. She was like a ticking time bomb, one wrong word and she’ll explode.

"Oh yeah, I actually have something to tell you.." The smile on her face disappeared when she suddenly remembered the reason on why she followed him to Italy.

Just when Lu Yifeng thought everything was going well, she just have to ruin the moment by bring something up again. He sighed inwardly at this. "I’m listening."

"Remember the day when I told you that Feng Ning came to visit me?" Xia Meilin squeezed his hand lightly. "He told something to me."

Lu Yifeng’s eyes darkened at the mention of Feng Ning’s name, but he stayed still and didn’t say anything. He continued listening on what she was about to say.

"He told me that... my real mother, Yong Biqi is after the Xia family."

Lu Yifeng’s eyes went wide in surprise. Feng Ning knows? How did he know about her? Lu Yifeng found out about her because of Yong Wei Qing.

"He said that his parents are helping her in her revenge against the Xia family. Grandpa told me about it all; what happened between her and my parents. After giving it a careful thought, I know that both sides are wrong. Yong Biqi should have stayed away from a married man, especially her sister’s own husband. My grandparents shouldn’t have switched me... I-"

"What’s done is done." Lu Yifeng interrupted her. "It’s your grandparents problems, let them deal with her."

Xia Meilin frowned at Lu Yifeng’s cold words, she turned her body and fully faced him. She glared angrily at him. "Yong Biqi is a dangerous woman! I can’t let them deal with her alone! They are MY grandparents! Do you know what she did to my innocent mother? She tortured her! Her own sister that has no fault! I know that it was my father’s fault for lying to her but how can she be so cruel to her own sister? Even if Yong Biqi’s the one who gave birth to me, I will not consider her as my mother! Yong Sining is my mother!"

Xia Meilin panted after she said those words angrily. How can Lu Yifeng say that? Will he just sit and do nothing about it?!

"This isn’t your problem." Lu Yifeng calmly said while looking at her with a blank expression on his face.

Because of this, Xia Meilin’s face became black. "Not my problem? It’s obviously my problem! Yong Biqi is after my family!" She growled angrily. Seeing the lazy look in his eyes, she snapped out. "That’s it! I’m not talking with you anymore!"

Xia Meilin went out of the tub and dried herself. She took her bathrobe and went out of the bathroom, slamming the door shut.
