The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Xia Meilin hesitated. This is a good opportunity for her since Lu Yifeng is in the bathroom.

She stood up and looked around his room. But the moment she took a step forward, she suddenly remembered Lu Yifeng's apology.

He's regretting his actions so... should she still continue with her revenge?

Yes! She told herself that she should stick with her plan. She needs something to blackmail him in case he'll try to threaten her again!

She went to his cabinet and started looking through his clothes. He must be keeping something around here, right?

But in the end, she couldn't find anything that she can use against him.

Xia Meilin decided to check his drawers. When she opened the first drawer, the first thing she saw was a red card... it was their marriage certificate.

She took it from the drawer and stared at it for a while. They were really married. The certificate is not fake. She is a married woman now and the man she hated was her husband.

Hated... Does she still hate him? How can she bring herself to hate a man who's actually been good to her?

When Lu Yifeng went out of the bathroom, he stood there, shirtless. His body was really well-built and sexy that can make any woman drool but the only flaw on his body was the wounds that were stitched.

As he stood there, he saw Xia Meilin looking at his stuff.

Back then, this would always anger him since what he hated the most are the people who try to rummage through his stuff without his permission.

Although, now that he was looking at her, he didn't get angry. He was a foolish man back then. Getting angry because of a simple thing? He suddenly has the urge to punch himself for being a d*ck.

He walked towards her and stood behind her. Since he was tall enough, he was able to see what she was holding. Seeing the marriage certificate in her hands made him smile. "I've been keeping it well, how about you?"

She was startled by his voice. She quickly turned and faced him, she was caught red-handed by him, "I-I wasn't-

He patted her head. "You have all the right to touch what you want, you are my wife."

She avoided his gaze, her heart was beating fast. She realized that he was actually standing close to her and seeing that he was shirtless, she became nervous. "I... I'm sorry."

"It's fine. If you want to look for something, tell me. I don't have anything to hide from you anyway." He went to sit on the side of the bed.

She was embarrassed. She looked like a bad person trying to rob a good man.

When she took a glance at him, she saw him holding an ointment for his wound. He was applying it on his wounds but there were parts where he couldn't reach and see.

Feeling sorry for him, she went and stood in front of him. "Let me help you."

Her offer surprised him a bit but nonetheless, it brightens his face. He didn't argue with her and instead, he handed her the ointment.

She started applying the ointment on the wounds where he couldn't reach. Seeing no reaction from him as she gently applied the ointment made her wonder how high his pain tolerance was.

"Doesn't it hurt?" She was curious to know his answer.

"It's okay, I can still tolerate it." He said with a calm tone on his voice, his eyes closed. Feeling her soft touch on his body ignited the fire inside him.

She raised an eyebrow. He can tolerate it?

A small, playful smirk crept up on her lips. She placed a little pressure when she applied the ointment on the wound that was on his shoulder.

This made him flinch. He opened his eyes and looked at her darkly. "Now it really hurts."

For some reason, she didn't get scared when he looked at her that way. Why was it? Is it because the other half of herself was convinced that he was actually a good man?

"Oh, sorry."

He didn't say anything anymore. When he turned his head, he ended up staring at her chest since she was bending in front of him.

He can see her cleavage through the V-neck of her shirt. So when she bends, it wasn't really hard for him to see her breasts. Her chest wasn't small, it wasn't too large as well, it was just right.

Was she trying to seduce him? Staring at them made him want to touch them. But of course, he tried resisting the urge to do so.

After applying the ointment, when she turned to look at him, she realized that he was staring at her chest.

"Y-You!" She quickly covered her chest. "Pervert!"

He looked at her with a straight face. "Not my fault. Tell your breasts to stop staring at my eyes."

After he said that with a serious face, he stood up and went to the cabinet to get a shirt. Although while his back was facing her, a small, almost unnoticeable smile formed his lips.

Xia Meilin's face was as red as a tomato. She couldn't believe that he just put the blame on her!

She was about to say something to scold him but a small voice was suddenly heard.

"Mommaaa..."

Little Melon just woke up. He sat up while rubbing his eyes for a short while.

When he saw his mother standing by the bedside, he reached out his hands to her as if wanting to be carried, "Hungry..."

"Breakfast should be ready by now, let's go." Lu Yifeng said after he put on his necktie.
