The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 268 - Demon Twins

Lu Mengjie was looking at her husband, blinking a few times. Well, she also noticed that their life has been peaceful lately after Bai Keran died but upon hearing from her husband that Si Guanlin had gone quiet, did it mean that he was actually behind that old man? She had her doubts about it but Yong Liwei looked so sure of it.

"When are you going to leave?" Lu Mengjie asked as she watched her husband take off his shirt.

"By the end of the week." He placed his shirt on a small stand near his bed before he turned off the main lights of the room. After doing so, he got on the bed.

Lu Mengjie moved close to him. She rested her head on his arm and placed her hand on his broad shoulder. Yong Liwei preferred to sleep half-naked to which she didn't mind at all. "How long will you be staying there?"

He stared at the ceiling to think. "I think it would be better for us if I stayed until the coronation.."

She got up and instantly frowned at him. "You'll be leaving me for HOW LONG?" She asked once again. If he was going to stay until his coronation, he might end up staying there for so long that was why she wanted to get a specific number from him.

He chuckled as he watched her workup. "Until you miss me?"

She rolled her eyes. "You had only been gone from me for a day and I'm already missing you so is it just for a day?"

As he gazed at her with enjoyment, the side of his mouth twitched up. "It'll take more than a day for me to arrive in Azure."

Lu Mengjie pouted. She already knew about that but she couldn't help it. She sighed heavily. She knew that she shouldn't stop him. Lu XIngyan was right. Han Qinshan was a persistent man so he wouldn't easily give the throne to his other sons. 

She sighed heavily and laid back down, resting her head on his arm. "You're not allowed to stay in the same room with another girl, alright?"

He raised a brow at her and smirked. "Since when have I cheated on you?"

It was not like he cheated on her. Lu Mengjie trusted her husband even if the one with her right now was Yong Liwei since he had already confessed his feelings for her. "When was the last time did you have sex with another woman?"

Now that he thought about it, he had not slept with another girl ever since he shared the night in the cave with her. It was not because he had been busy lately but he couldn't bring himself to do it, especially when he had Han Yizhou ringing in his head. "More than a year."

"Don't lie!" She pouted, refusing to believe that he was someone who had avoided having sex for so long.

"I'm not lying. I promised you, didn't I? I will never lie to you anymore." He gently brushed her hair with his fingers.

She pursed her lips as she looked into his eyes as if she was trying to see through him. Well, it seemed like he was not lying at all.

"You should move back to your parent's house once I leave for the Azure Republic," he suggested. "You'll be safer than living here by yourself."

"I won't be alone, our son will be with me."

He cast his eyes at the empty crib. "Your father will try to keep on stealing him from us tho."

"Ah…" That, she couldn't deny. 

That day, after she had dropped Little Peanut at her parent's place, her father, Lu Xian Yu, was always so delighted whenever she left her son there. Unlike him, her mother had a normal reaction although she didn't seem to mind having Little Peanut with them especially when he had always been behaving.

Earlier that afternoon when Lu Mengjie and Yong Liwei went to pick him up, Lu Xian Yu asked them if Little Peanut could stay the night with them. He enjoyed having his grandson's presence in the house. Since had pumped enough bottled milk while she was at work, she left them there since breast milk was the most essential food her son needed at his age,

"It will save you the trouble too." Yong Liwei's deep voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Very well…" She couldn't deny that it was a good idea indeed. Unlike this place, her parents' place, the Lu family residential homes in Beijing was one of the luxurious and secured Estates. Aside from that, her father's men, the members of the Twelve Stars, except for Pride and Sloth, had already moved there. No one in their right mind would dare to attack the family.

Unlike them, her uncle, Lu Xian Yu's twin brother, Lu Yifeng lived in the main house in Guangzhou so the whole forces of the Lu family were divided into half. Imagine if they combined. Even the Wolf King himself wouldn't dare to offend them both. That was the main reason why Han Qinshan wanted to have one of his sons to marry at least one of the Lu family princesses.

Among the seven families in the Azure Republic, the Lu family was the family that went on par when it came to the Han family's strength. After the war against the Murong family, the Lu family had decided to leave that country to avoid future conflict, and instead, they resided in the motherland, China. According to the Lu family's history, for some unknown reason, the family had been given immunity by the government as soon as they entered the country.

Who would have guessed that Han Qinshan would end up having the Lu family's two most powerful forces on his palms? If Han Xukun married Lu Xingyan, he would be able to mobilize the forces from Lu Yifeng's side through his daughter. Meanwhile, Lu Mengjie married the firstborn son, Yong Liwei. If her husband asked for Lu Xian Yu's help, Lu Mengjie was there to help him convince her father to mobilize the other half of the Lu family's forces.

The twins, Lu Yifeng and Lu Xian Yu were not to be underestimated even if they looked like decent men. Lu Yifeng was crafty and ruthless against his enemies while Lu Xian Yu wouldn't blink an eye in getting his hands dirtied with blood. They were the demon twins who not even the Wolf King dared to confront.
