The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 285 - Mama's Sandwich

Yong Liwei and his family had their picnic at a park to admire the Fall Foliage.

The park was filled with guests and tourists but they were able to find the perfect spot to have a picnic. The golden and crimson fall leaves dropped like confetti whenever a gentle breeze blew and it was a magical sight to behold.

Back then, Lu Mengjie had spent a spring date with Han Yizhou in Japan. She was still pregnant with Little Peanut at that time and they admired the beauty of Autumn. There was nothing more beautiful than the scarlet maple hands and golden leaves. Season of quiet and gentle stoicism imprinted with memories. She had never thought that she would be able to have such a serene family outing with Yong Liwei.

Their bodyguards were in disguise and had been keeping an eye on the people around them, especially towards the people who had their cameras on as instructed by their boss.

The family of three was a sight to behold. A very handsome father, a beautiful mother, and an adorable baby. It was a perfect sight for the people who saw them. Whenever someone would try to take a photo, one of the bodyguards would approach and stop them.

While Yong Liwei had been following his son within reach as he slowly got a hang of walking, the toddler's attention was distracted when he saw his mother eating a sandwich. 

"Ma!" Little Peanut exclaimed as he slid one of his hands from his father's hold just so he could stretch it out to his mother.

"If you want one, you have to come here and get it." She chuckled softly.

As Little Peanut began heading his mother's way, he was like a cute penguin when he walked. He slowly began gaining his pace, rushing towards her until he lost balance.

Before he could even fall on the ground, Yong Liwei was quick to catch him. "Slow down, little guy."

"Bwu du!" He was pointing at the sandwich in his mother's hand while looking at his father as if telling him to steal his mother's food for him.

Yong Liwei raised a brow. "Do you think you can order me around?"

Little Peanut ended up staring at his father with his big, adorable eyes, attacking his father with his cuteness just to have his way on him.

The man sighed helplessly. He picked up his son and carried him in his arms. Yong Liwei strutted his way towards his wife and stopped in front of her. "He demands for your bread."

As he asked this, Little Peanut showed his palm to his mother as he continued to ask for the food from her.

Lu Mengjie chuckled as she looked up at her husband and son combo. She was able to see the resemblance in their features, especially the domineering gaze they both had. Except, Little Peanut looked more adorable than his father because of his chubby cheeks and starry eyes.

"Here you go, sweetie." She took an untouched sandwich from the container and gave it to him.

Instead of accepting it, Little Peanut ignored the food she offered. He landed his eyes on her half-eaten peanut butter sandwich.

"He wants YOUR food." Yong Liwei spoke out for his son.

This time, Little Peanut nodded his head. "Ma da!"

She sighed, a helpless smile slinking out of her lips. "I don't know why you would prefer to have mine but here, it's all yours, cupcake." She finally gave the bread to her son to which he happily took it.

Yong Liwei sat on the ground, beside his wife. He made his son sit on his lap as he did so. 

Once in a while, he thought that it was nice to spend time as a family just like this. He may not look like a family man but he was with the two people that he cared for the most in the world. 

The sunset blossomed upon the cloud just like how a sweet wild clover flourished across the field. The evening came in palatial fashion, with all the elegance of a breeze in still.

Since they were in the field side of the park, it was easy to view the beautiful starry night sky until the sight of fireworks lit up the night sky. 

Lu Mengjie had always loved the sight of the sparklers, especially when it reminded her of her time sweet moment with Xia Sinian during her childhood days. Her favorite part of the firework was its brightness, which rivaled that of any star in the magnificent black night.

They were not the only families and couples in the place who admired the view. The park had always been such a sight even during the night.

"Woooo!" Just like the night sky, Little Peanut's eyes were sparkling in delight while watching the fireworks above him.

"I know, right? Woah." Lu Mengjie chuckled softly. When she looked at her son, he reminded her of her childhood. She probably had that same reaction back then when she first saw the beauty of the colorful sparklers. 

"They're beautiful."

"Boo fwuu!"

While the mother and son duo admired flowers in the sky, Yong Liwei couldn't help but admire the sight of the two instead. Before he knew it, the side of his lips had already curled up into a gentle smile. His gaze softened at them. "Beautiful indeed," he whispered.

"I didn't know that there was going to be a firework show tonight," Lu Mengjie said while her eyes were still locked at the sky-filled fireworks. From simple colors to animal shapes, the fireworks above them only got better as every second passed.

Yong Liwei chuckled. He had actually messaged one of his men to prepare such a show for that night. It was the reason why he had never asked her about going home yet. "I guess today's our lucky day."

His wife finally turned to him, only to see him staring at her. She raised a brow. "You didn't have a hand on this?"

He chuckled. "I wonder about that." He lifted his gaze to watch the fireworks show. "I may have. I may have not."

She scoffed. It was pretty obvious that he did.. He may not always say that he loves her but he never failed to show it and made her feel like she was the most precious woman in his life.
