The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 10 A Common Mistake

"Ning-ge, thank you for the help. I will have to leave now since it’s getting late for Xia Gua. Tell Sinian-ge that I messaged him my address, he can stay with us while he’s here in the country." Xia Meiren said as calm as she could.

Feng Ning nodded. "Okay. Do you want me to drop you?"

She shook her head. "I have a car." She smiled as she gently stroked Little Melon’s hair.

Little Melon was resting his head on her shoulder while he was being carried. Because of his salty eyes and tired body, Little Melon was able to fall fast asleep.

"I see... I am happy to see you again. Maybe we can go out for a lunch some time?"

"Mm. I would love that." When she noticed Lu Xian Yu enter the hall, her heart became restless. "I-I will leave now. See you later, Ning-ge."

She hurriedly turned and left him. Feng Ning wondered why she suddenly looked so nervous? He wanted to spend more time with her but it looks like it needs to wait.

Xia Sinian noticed his sister leaving, he was about to call her out but he stopped upon seeing a certain guy. His eyes went wide in realization when he saw him. Is it possible that Little Melon’s father is someone from the Lu family?

----

When Xia Meiren arrived home, she went and placed Little Melon gently on the bed, making sure that he won’t wake up.

She leans down and kissed his forehead, "Good night, my love." She whispered softly after putting the blanket on him.

She returned to her room and took a quick shower. She went out in her pajamas and bare face. Xia Meiren laid down on her bed as she gave a long and heavy sigh, thinking of what happened earlier.

Did Lu Yifeng noticed his resemblance with Little Melon? He did right?

She clenched her fists. What will she do now? Will he come after her to ask her about Little Melon or will he ignore this? She was hoping that it would be the latter one.

Xia Meiren couldn’t blink a sleep that’s why she went to the living room to watch some TV show.

It was not long before she got a call from her brother. Her eyes darkened upon remembering what he did to Little Melon earlier. Despite that, she answered the call, "Hello?"

"I’m in front of your place."

"Okay." She ended the call after.

She went out of the living room and went to open the door for him.

Xia Sinian looked at her for a while before he entered her house. "I need to talk with you about something."

"Same here." Xia Meiren closed the door behind her before she followed her brother in the living room.

As soon as they sat, the air around them became heavy. She was glaring daggers at him as she asked him straightly, "Tell me brother, do you still hate Xia Gua?"

"I do. I will never accept in the family, he’s a son of a criminal."

"Oh? Are you saying that I’m a criminal then?" She crossed her arms.

"That’s not what I mean." Xia Sinian finally looked at her. "You are my sister and I know that you gave birth to him but I cannot accept him, Meiren. I will never forgive what his father did to you." Especially when his father is actually a part of the underground world, it was only right to label him as a criminal.

She shook her head, "You can hate his father but you are not allowed to hate Xia Gua. He is innocent of his father’s faults. Xia Gua is my son, if you can’t accept him because of his father then at least accept him for me. I really love Xia Gua, brother. I never hated him since I know that Xia Gua is innocent, it was not his fault that his father is... a criminal. He was born into this world without knowing anything."

Xia Sinian lowered his head in guilt since what Xia Meiren said was true. He gave out a long sigh. "Well then... the father of that boy... is he Lu Xian Yu?"

Regardless of the hate Xia Sinian started feeling for Lu Xian Yu, he knows that he will not be able to do anything to him because of his strong and dark background. Xia Sinian is an intelligent man that’s why he knows that if he deals with the Lu family, he will only bring danger to his family.

... But it would be nice if Xia Sinian can beat Lu Xian Yu one day.

Xia Meiren’s eyes went wide when she heard his words. "Lu... Xian Yu? Was he not Lu Yifeng?"

He furrowed his brows. "Is it Lu Yifeng? Not Lu Xian Yu?" How can his beloved sister get in trouble with someone more dangerous than Lu Xian Yu?

Lu Yifeng was Xia Sinian’s business partner, if not for Lu Yifeng’s help, the Xia Corporation won’t be able to stand on where it is now, this was one of the reasons why Xia Sinian has no choice but to keep quiet.

"That guy in the banquet, is he not Lu Yifeng?" She continued asking.

Xia Sinian nodded. "Yes, he’s not. That man is his brother, Lu Xian Yu. I will be able to understand if he’s the one who made you pregnant but Lu Yifeng? That’s... impossible." Everyone in the business world knows that he’s a gay.

Xia Meiren was confused. Why did her brother say that? "Lu Xian Yu is the stoic man while Lu Yifeng is the casanova, right?"

Xia Sinian sighed as he shook his head. "You’ve got it all wrong. That’s what the rumors said but it’s actually the opposite. That is why I wouldn’t be surprised if Lu Xian Yu was able to get his hands on you but Lu Yifeng? That’s not possible." He leaned against the sofa. "Since Lu Yifeng and Lu Xian Yu are twins, other than their business partners, the media and the people outside of work will always mistake them for being the other."
