The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

’My husband’ She said these words a couple of times today which delighted him. The side of his lips slightly curled up because of this. Was she finally accepting him as her husband?

Xia Meilin was staring at Lu Yifeng the whole time and when she saw the slightest reaction his face made, it made her think if he was finally in a good mood.

She stood up and walked towards her. "Yifeng, have you forgiven me?"

Xia Meilin waited for his response but he didn’t even take a glance at her.

Did she think that he will easily forgive her even if she made him happy with her words? Lu Yifeng wanted to see how far she will go to make him notice her. He will continue to drag this on until tonight.

There’s only one way that Xia Meilin can think of that will make him forgive her.

She walked and hugged him from behind. "Mr. Lu, don’t ignore your wife."

He was tempted by her soft hug but he won’t fall for it. He will not let her go so easily.

Xia Meilin pursed her lips as she didn’t receive any reaction from him. She leaned back and clenched her fists. "Fine! If you don’t want to forgive me then so be it! You’re so petty! You’re making my small mistake a big deal! It’s not like I was cheating on you! Shouldn’t you be glad that I didn’t leave with Feng Ning? You’re so annoying! How about Bai Xiu Ying? Why was she here? Is she always visiting you every day? Maybe it’s actually you, the one cheating behind my back! Lu Yifeng, I swear if you’re cheating -

She was cut off from her ranting when he suddenly turned his chair and pulled her wrist, making her sit on his lap. He placed his hand on her nape and crushed his lips on hers. His kiss was rough and hard... the kiss that was just like that night where he got angry at her.

Xia Meilin was surprised by this, she tried pushing him away but her hands were losing its strength. She was starting to get drunk by his kiss and by the intoxicating smell around him. Xia Meilin couldn’t do anything at that moment, his lips were so addicting. She could only give in and let him kiss her.

After a while, they finally pulled away. Xia Meilin was panting, her face was red and she felt dizzy because of the kiss they shared. She ended up burying her embarrassed face on his shoulder.

Lu Yifeng let go of her hands and turned his chair back to face the table while she was still sitting on his lap.

"Y-you’re so cruel!" She finally turned to him after calming her heart that was racing wildly. "At least warn me first before you kiss me!"

"Will you let me kiss you if I warned you?"

She bit her lower lip as she lowered her head, her whole face was red, her ears as well. "Maybe..."

He wrapped his arms around her waist. "I will never cheat on you, Meilin. You’re the only woman I will love in this life until the next."

Xia Meilin couldn’t help but shrink into his arms as she tried to hide her blushing face from him. "I may not return your feelings right now since I don’t love you... yet. But even if... this is the case, I will not cheat on you."

She was supposed to be sad and hurt after she ended things with Feng Ning, after all, feelings don’t disappear so easily. But what surprised her was the pain she was expecting to have wasn’t that painful for her. When Lu Yifeng arrived earlier, the tears that were about to be released from her eyes were stopped. Xia Meilin was supposed to cry her heart out but she was distracted by Lu Yifeng.

She realized that Lu Yifeng was affecting her this much. Her feelings, her emotions... She was so affected by his mere presence. "We’re married, we’re together because it’s for the sake of our son... I accepted you because I want to do it for our son. I want to give him the family he wants..."

Lu Yifeng knows that well. He knows that she’s doing this for their son. He knows that she’s staying right now because of Little Melon. Even if he can’t be the reason why she will stay, as long as she was by his side, he doesn’t mind it. But even if he says that he doesn’t mind it, he can feel his chest tightening. He can feel his heart was bleeding in pain.

"To be honest, you are not that hard to love." She faced him this time. She was hesitating if she should tell him the next words she has in mind, but since she wanted to be an honest person to him, she will say it. She placed her hand on his cheek. "I want to try to love you. Today, I have ended my love for Ning-ge... but it is also today that I will start a new one. I may not have the same feelings as you have for me right now but... one day, I will surely reciprocate it. Do you know what I have told Ning-ge? I told him that I value my family more than I do to him. Lu Yifeng, as my husband... I am starting to consider you a part of my family now."

Lu Yifeng never interrupted her once. He patiently listened to her. After listening to her words, he was moved by it. The pain that was inflicted in his heart by what she said was replaced by happiness. He has always waited for this day to come. A day where she will finally accept his feelings. "I’m going to kiss you now."

Xia Meilin blushed lightly at his warning. She turned away as she clenched his shirt tight. Even if they shared a few kisses already, she was still not used with it.

This was going to be her first relationship ever. She never dated anyone. Even if she was now married, she still has set restrictions between them. But now that everything was going well, she wanted to try to have a relationship with him. Hopefully, things will work out between them.

Lu Yifeng held her chin and made her face him. He inched closer, "Can I?"

She looked into his clear eyes. Her heart was starting to become so restless. "Okay." She closed her eyes and waited for him to kiss her.

He smiled at this, his wife was being adorable right now. He wants to eat her up but he knows that this wasn’t the right time to do it.

This time, the kiss they shared was different from earlier. He was now kissing her in a gentle and loving way.
