The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

"Momma, Mello can’t wait to see dada!" Little Melon grinned happily.

"Me too, sweetheart." She chuckled. Xia Meilin took the blanket and placed it on her tummy to keep it warm.

"Does momma knows where dada is?" Little Melon asked before he turned to his parfait and continued eating it.

"Why of course, I know." Xia Meilin chuckled. She patted his head before she rested her back against her seat.

Xia Meilin has already gave Su Lei a message on their way earlier. She asked for the location of Lu Yifeng. It wasn’t long before Su Lei gave her the address. He was quiet about it too, because of Xia Meilin’s order on not to tell Lu Yifeng about it.

She was eager to see Lu Yifeng because of the stress she felt. Wherever she goes, it seemed like a problem would arise so she wanted to be in a stress-free environment for her children.

Just like Feng Ning suggested, she needs to be out of the country since Yong Biqi will ne arriving soon. She was pregnant and she was not going to put her children at risk. Since Lu Yifeng was currently out of the country, why not go to him?

Xia Meilin closed her eyes since she was feeling drowsy from all the thoughts she had in mind. She needs to calm herself down and try to forget about her problems in the meantime.

Meanwhile, Little Melon was wide awake at that time. He played chess with Dong Hua and when Little Melon repeatedly defeat him, Dong Hua taught him how to play the card game.

The three other bodyguards joined them in the card game but in the end, Little Melon keeps on winning.

"Are you cheating?" Zhao Junxu couldn’t help but complain.

"No way. Mello doesn’t cheat. It’s all about statistics, uncle Zhao. If you have the right calculations, you can get the right cards and win."

Statistics... a young boy like him... how can he know about such things?

Ever since Little Melon learned how to read, Little Melon started reading the books in his father’s library. The little boy found out that he loves math so from simple math, he started moving on the next problem step by step until his knowledge about math was more than a normal kid should know.

Instead of watching cartoons, he started watching videos about math problems and because of the videos, his knowledge about math expanded.

The four grownups ended up looking at each other. Was it because of his luck or was it really about having the right calculations? The latter made their head ached so they rather believe that Little Melon was just lucky.

It took less than ten hours to fly from China to Italy using the private jet plane of the Xia family. They arrived in Italy by noon because of the smooth trip.

When they went down of the plane, a black Maybach car was waiting for them. It was the car that Su Lei prepared for them. It took a few hours to reach the hotel on where Lu Yifeng was staying.

The person that Su Lei assigned was waiting for them by the lobby and when he saw them, Xia Meilin was given a copy of Lu Yifeng’s hotel room card.

Dong Hua and his companions were given a room that was on the same floor as Lu Yifeng’s room for security.

When Xia Meilin and Little Melon entered Lu Yifeng’s suite, they couldn’t help but be amazed at what they saw. With all luxurious looking items inside, the suite looked like a palace.

They could see through the huge glass window the beautiful scene of the place. Different kind of buildings were seen and since it was sunset, the view looked so serene and . It was like Lu Yifeng chose the best room in the hotel.

"This place is so beautiful!" Little Melon’s eyes sparkled in delight. He started running around the place before he walked towards the huge glass window. He stared down and saw the cars going here and there, people walking at the side of the street. As it started to become dark, the city started lighting up and when he saw this, he was stunned at the sight since it looked magical.

Meanwhile, Xia Meilin entered the bedroom, a king-sized bed was placed in the middle.

Lu Yifeng wasn’t around at that time since he was still on a business meeting with someone.

Xia Meilin opened the suitcase she brought. She came well prepared for this, that’s why everything she needed, including Little Melon’s clothes and his other stuffs were brought. She started unpacking the things, placing the clothes in the closet.

"Momma, where is dada?" Little Melon asked while he was jumping on the bed.

"He’ll be here soon." After she arranged their clothes and stuffs, she kept the suitcase on the side. By the time she did, her phone vibrated.

She took it out of her pocket and opened her WeChat to look at who messaged her. It was Su Lei.

"Sweetheart, we’re giving daddy a surprise so let’s hide in the bathroom, okay?"

----

While in the car, Lu Yifeng noticed that Su Lei has been peeking on his phone since earlier. He looked like he was distracted by something.

Su Lei suddenly felt the cold look that Lu Yifeng was giving him. He gulped nervously, "Please... excuse me. My mother keeps on sending me some messages... I can’t help but reply her so that she won’t get worried."

Lu Yifeng narrowed his eyes, "Your mother’s dead."

"What I mean is... a woman who’s like a mother to me, boss." Su Lei quickly said.

Lu Yifeng turned away from him and ignored him instead. He turned back to the file he was reading.

Just then, Lu Yifeng’s phone lit up and it started ringing. His ringtone was Xia Meilin and Little Melon’s piano duet, ’Tender Love’.

He looked at the caller ID and sighed. It was a call from his cousin. He answered the call and placed it against his ear.

"Yifeng! Are you free tonight? Why don’t you come visit us here and join us for dinner?"
