The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 136 - Going Back

Surprisingly, Little Peanut didn't cry out, and instead, he kept on staring at the woman before him.

Lu Mengjie wanted to cry when she saw that her son did not dislike Bella Qin's touch. She was her savior. She did not have to worry about leaving her son alone in the house when someone she fully trusted was going to watch over him.

Everyone, including steward Fang, was surprised. Little Peanut has always been picky when it comes to people touching him. Even he, himself, did not pass the test, in fact, no one in the house did.

"You should try carrying him," the old butler suggested.

Bella Qin turned to look at Lu Mengjie, waiting for her to give her permission.

Lu Mengjie nodded, she was trying her best to suppress her smile. She wanted to give the other woman a hug for coming into the place. She was not expecting that she would end up staying longer in the country. Bella Qin owned a food factory. As for why she was here, Lu Mengjie was clueless but she didn't care. Gluttony's division had the most members and she was sure that a capable man… if she remembered correctly, her first-in-command should be handling most of her work.

…

(Present)

"Do you remember the woman we met in the department store?" Lu Mengjie asked, looking at the man beside her with a small smile on her lips.

"Yes, I do." That woman was not easy to forget. She was someone who Lu Mengjie knew after all so it was only right for him to remember the people who may have a connection with his wife. "Madam G."

"She is one of my people. G, for Gluttony. Her name is Bella Qin," she informed.

He ended up blinking a few times. "Do you remember her?"

She nodded and continued, "she visited me at the hospital after you left…." She began telling him what happened until the point where she hired Madam G as their son's nanny. Lu Mengjie even took out her phone just so she could show the photos of Little Peanut, there were photos where he was together, being carried by Bella Qin.

Now that the baby was 1 month and a week old, the physical resemblance was starting to show but not enough to tell whether he resembled Han Yizhou or not. They needed to wait for a few more weeks to see.

"He only allows me and madam Bella to carry him." She grinned at him after showing the last photo.

He chuckled a bit. "I wonder if he'll recognize me as his father."

She just smiled at him since she also couldn't tell after all, Little Peanut was very picky. Aside from that, he was gone for a while. She simply didn't have an idea. She could only hope.

The car finally stopped at the place where Lu Mengjie would meet Nine. A black car was already waiting for her there and she saw the man standing beside it, leaning against the door. 

"I should get going." She sighed inwardly at the thought of being separated from him once again. "Make sure to unblock me, okay? I want you to call me tonight."

He took out his phone and unblocked her contact. "There, it's done," he said, showing his phone's screen to her.

She smiled in satisfaction after glancing at it. "How long will you be staying here?"

"This time, I won't go back without you and our son," he declared. 

Her eyes glimmered at the thought that she was finally going back to the mainland. That also meant that she didn't have to play the part of a damsel in distress anymore. She was waiting for this day. It was time for her to make a move. She was already planning on helping Bai Jingye to gather evidence against his grandfather and to do that… she would only need her computer. She was the daughter of one of the best hackers in the country. She already has most of her memories back. At least that was what she thought. It was time for her to stop sitting around. She has to solve her problems, with or without others' help.

"So, Mr. Han, how do you plan on kidnapping us?"

"That is something you'll find out soon enough." He leaned forward and planted a peck on her lips. 

"I look forward to that day." She kept her phone in her bag, together with her copy of the marriage certificate. "I will be keeping the original. Liwei might end up burning this if he came out," she said, kiddingly.

"Ah yes… I can already imagine him doing that." Aside from burning it, he might end up preparing the divorce papers in advance.

She chuckled in reply to his remark. "Anyway, I'll see you…" she paused as she was suddenly unsure when they would meet again. She was only allowed to go out thrice a week.

"Tomorrow," he continued for her.

"Tomorrow?" She pursed her lips. "How about next week?"

"Why?"

"You see… I kinda have a limitation on leaving the house right now. If I went out tomorrow, I'm sure Bai Keran's men would stop me."

"Would you let them stop you from seeing me?"

"What? Of course now!" She huffed. "If it was just me then I'm not going to allow them to keep me in. But you have to remember our son. Even if Madam Bella is with him, I don't think she'll be able to handle a large group of men.

"I guess we don't have a choice." It was not like Han Yizhou minded waiting for a few days just to see her again. What he was worried about was Yong Liwei switching in and taking advantage by leaving the country. That was what happened last time after he left Lu Mengjie in the hospital. It was also then that he realized that whenever he was not by her side, his control in the body against Yong Liwei was weak.
