The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

That night, the media was in uproar because of what happened earlier that day in the airport. A few photos of Little Melon was started to be compared from Lu Yifeng’s photos.

[Oh gosh! They look so alike!]

[Are they really married?]

[Mr. Lu and Ms Xia must have married each other in secret, right? Right?]

[Yes! That must be it! Look at those strong genes! Mello is soooo handsome like his father!]

[Ms. Xia’s beauty and Mr. Lu’s handsomeness, I wish I can see them together! It will surely be a candy for my eyes!]

Everyone knows that Xia Meiren has a son, so everyone thought that she was married, the only question is with who? She would always find a way to avoid such questions whenever she was interviewed but now that Little Melon and Lu Yifeng’s photos were being compared, everyone started doubting that he must be her husband.

Xia Meiren sighed as she turned off her phone. Reading the news and comments made her head ache that’s why it is better if she can ignore it instead.

The following day, Xia Meiren went to meet up with Lu Yifeng in a restaurant. She entered the room that was reserved for them and when she did, she saw Lu Yifeng inside.

She was hesitant to be in the same room as him since her lawyer didn’t arrive yet.

Lu Yifeng looked at her with calm eyes, watching her come inside and sit before him.

Xia Meiren tried her best to remain calm, making her guards up on him.

The room was quiet for a short while until Lu Yifeng opened his mouth, "Do you want to order something?"

She looked at him before she took out some files from the brown envelope that she brought, "No thanks, I’m good. While we’re waiting for my lawyer, lets discuss the conditions I prepared."

She handed him a copy of the contract she prepared.

Lu Yifeng took the file and started reading it. It was quiet for a while as he reads through the file.

They will not share a room. He is not allowed to touch her intimately. She will behave and follow him whenever they are in public, in return, he has to make sure that he will do the same for her.

While he was reading, they heard a knock before the hostess announced, "Ms. Xia, Mr. Lu, someone seeks your presence."

"Let them in." Xia Meiren said as she continued on staring at Lu Yifeng who didn’t seem to be bothered by what he was reading.

"I apologize for my tardiness, Ms. Xia." Xia Meiren’s lawyer apologized as he entered and bowed at them.

"It’s okay."

"Good morning, Mr. Lu, I am Ms. Xia Meiren’s lawyer, Zhang Wei." The man, wearing a suit went and bowed at him before he went sat on the vacant seat that was prepared for him.

"So, lets discuss about the contract, shall we?" Zhang Wei opened his briefcase and pulled out the original copy of the terms and conditions Xia Meiren sent him.

"No need to discuss, I have agreed to it." Lu Yifeng said.

Xia Meiren and Zhang Wei was surprised by what he suddenly said.

"Give it to me." Lu Yifeng said.

Zhang Wei took a glance at Xia Meiren, she nodded her head, giving him the permission. She was actually relieved that Lu Yifeng agreed to every terms she placed.

"Please sign here, Mr. Lu." Zhang Wei gave him the contract and a pen before he pointed at the spot on where he must sign.

After signing the contract, Zhang Wei kept it back in his briefcase. "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Lu." He then turned to Xia Meiren. "May I take my leave now?"

"Yes, thank you for the trouble, Mr. Zhang." Xia Meiren smiled.

When Zhang Wei left, Lu Yifeng turned to look at her, "Lets go to the Civil Affairs office to get married. After that, my assistant will release an official statement about our marriage."

Since she already agreed in marrying him, she expected this to happen.

"Okay." It really didn’t matter to her now that everything has been decided, marrying him now or later will still be the same for her. She has decided to continue on her plan against him.

They went to the Civil Affairs office together without talking at each other the whole way.

The couple’s marriage procedure was processed quickly and by the end of it, they were holding their marriage certificates.

Xia Meiren still couldn’t believe that she married Lu Yifeng. She could only feel sorry for herself. Whatever happens now, she has to deal with it by herself.

While she was in his car as they were heading back to the Xia family manor, Xia Meiren’s phone started ringing. Her grandma was calling.

"Momma! When are you and Dada coming home?" Little Melon’s small voice was heard from the other line as soon as she answered it.

Because of Lu Yifeng’s sharp hearing sense, he was able to hear what Little Melon said and this made his chest fill with an indescribable feelings. The heavy air around the car since earlier started fading out because of Little Melon’s call.

Xia Meiren took a glance at Lu Yifeng before she answered, "We’re on our way home, baby."

"Okay! Tell Dada not to forget the amusement park!"

Xia Meiren gulped nervously before she faced Lu Yifeng. "H-He said not to forget the amusement park."

"Mm." Lu Yifeng nodded. "That’s why I’m on my way to pick him up."
