The Devil's Sleeping Beauty-Chapter 12 Biggest wall between them

Lu Yifeng took a glance at Xia Meiren, he has to admit that when he saw her earlier, he was stunned by her beauty, just like that first night they shared together. He turned back to Little Melon and carried him, he made the boy sit on his lap. His gaze was soft and gentle towards the little boy. "I am not your uncle Xian Yu, I am his twin brother, Lu Yifeng."

Little Melon blinked a few times as he stared at Lu Yifeng's face before he grinned, he reached out and touched the small, almost unnoticeable beauty mole under his left eye. "Okay! Uncle Xian Yu doesn't have mole here so Mello believes uncle Yifeng!"

Xia Meiren felt like her heart was going to explode, she wanted to grab her son away from Lu Yifeng but she was too scared!

Meanwhile, Xia Sinian was internally panicking because of this as well.

"I am not your uncle. I am your father." Lu Yifeng was a straightforward person so he didn't hesitate on telling Little Melon that he was his father.

"No way! Dada is in heaven! Mello has only one dada!" He pouted as he crossed his arms.

Lu Yifeng's eyes darkened dangerously as he turned his head to Xia Meiren. "Will you believe it if it came from your mother's mouth?"

"Yup!" Little Melon nodded cutely before he looked at Xia Meiren as well. "Momma said dada is in heaven, right?

"Come here and sit with us." Lu Yifeng said as he stared at her.

Xia Meiren was hesitant. The last thing she wants was to be sitting beside him.

"Momma..." Little Melon reached out his hands to her as if wanting her to come close.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Xia Sinian whispered to her.

The nervousness that Xia Meiren felt was lessen knowing that her older brother was there for her. She went and sat on Lu Yifeng's side with enough space between them.

"Momma, is uncle Yifeng Mello's dada?" Little Melon asked as he looked at his mother.

"He's... h-he's..." Xia Meiren started panicking when she saw how Lu Yifeng was looking at her, he was glaring at her. Although it was just Xia Meiren's imagination since this was Lu Yifeng's resting face. "Y-yes... he is..."

Little Melon started tearing up, "Why did momma lied to Mello?"

Lu Yifeng gently patted his head. "Your mother didn't lie. What she means is that I am here in another country."

Little Melon looked up to him. "R-Really?"

He nodded. Lu Yifeng couldn't help but soften his heart to this small kid on his lap. "Yes. Didn't you fly in the heaven earlier? I was so busy with work that's why I will apologize to you for not being able to spend time with you... I will make up for it."

Lu Yifeng couldn't help but be frustrated upon learning that he missed three years and a half of his son's life. Lu Yifeng couldn't help but hug Little Melon in his arms. Just like his brother, Lu Yifeng was a man who would soften up whenever it comes to children.

"Dadaaa..." Little Melon hugged him as he started crying. To be honest, Little Melon was envious of seeing the other kids with their fathers. Back then, Little Melon would always ask for his father but as he grew older, he stopped asking after Xia Meiren said that he is in heaven. Little Melon always yearned for a father's love.

Xia Sinian was surprised to see the gentleness that Lu Yifeng was showing to Little Melon. He never imagined that a cold person can show a gentle side in him.

Xia Meiren lowered her head and clenched her fists tight. This was the last thing that she wants. She knows that Little Melon will be able to accept Lu Yifeng at once. Growing up without a father makes Little Melon yearn for one. She knows that feeling well since it was the same thing for her. Growing up without her parents made her yearn for one.

"Don't worry, I will make up for the time we weren't together." This was another side of Lu Yifeng that no one will ever expect to see.

Being embraced by the strong arms of his father made Little Melon feel safe, it was different from Xia Meiren's warm and gentle motherly hug. He easily opened up to him because of this.

Lu Yifeng finally faced Xia Meiren. "I will take responsibility for our son and for you."

'Our son', this words made Xia Meiren's heart race. She hates him so why is she reacting this way?

Lu Yifeng was the cold and ruthless twin but why is he acting so nice right now? He was a man that is supposed to belittle others but he doesn't look like he is belittling her and Little Melon, in fact, the gentleness in his eyes made her doubt the rumors about him.

'Not all rumors are true', this was what her brother told her once.

Despite all of this, Xia Meiren couldn't forget the fact that he raped her, he touched her without her permission. He was the person that violated her. He was her rapist and she was his victim. This was the biggest wall between her and Lu Yifeng.
