The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 16: Ball of Energy

Little Melon couldn't help smile happily when he heard his father's voice from the other line, "Don't be late Dada!"

Little Melon was really excited since it was going to be the first time where he would be spending his time with his father.

Xia Meilin could only go on with them, if not for her son, she wouldn't even dare give Lu Yifeng her attention. She handed him her phone so that they could talk properly but since Lu Yifeng was doing something on his laptop, Xia Meilin could only hold the phone against his ear instead.

"En. I won't be late." Lu Yifeng said as the side of his lips slightly curled up.

Xia Meilin couldn't help but admire Lu Yifeng's gentle face, but then, she told herself not to be deceived. Under that gentle face was a ferocious and ruthless man. That's why she ended up having a straight face while holding the phone.

A cute giggle was heard from the other line. "Mello can't wait, Dada! Drive fast-Oh! but carefully too, okay?"

"Yes, I will." He closed his laptop after saving what he did, putting all his focus on his son.

"Tell momma, I love you."

Lu Yifeng turned to Xia Meilin, "I love you."

Xia Meilin was surprised with what he suddenly said which made her heart jump. "W-wha..."

"... said Xiao Gua," added he after a short pause.

"O-Oh..." She turned away with an embarrassed face as she placed her phone against her ear, "Mommy loves you too."

"Mm! Mello loves Dada too."

"I'll end the call now, okay? We are near the house."

"Okay! Bye Momma! Bye Dada!"

"Bye." After that Xia Meilin kept her phone.

The mood in the car lightened up after the call which made the driver sigh in relief. A call from Little Melon made the suffocating atmosphere disappear.

Entering the gate of the Xia Manor, the car stopped in front of the mansion.

The moment the door was opened, Little Melon, who was wearing a jumper and carrying a small bag, went running towards his parents. Ji Ruo followed him from behind with a helpless smile.

"Momma! Dada!" He pounced unto Xia Meilin who bent down to catch him in her arms.

Ji Ruo heaved out a sigh."He's been waiting since earlier."

"I'm sorry if he troubled you, grandma." Xia Meilin said with a small smile as she stood straight after scooping her son in her arms.

"Troubled me? No way~ Xiao Gua has been a behaved all this time," chuckled Ji Ruo.

Little Melon nodded a few times, grinning. "Mello is a good boy."

Lu Yifeng gently patted his head, "Mm, you are."

Little Melon was so happy when Lu Yifeng patted his head. It was so different to have a father around and he was enjoying having him around. "Dada, lets go! Lets go!"

Seeing Little Melon so hyper made Xia Meilin sigh in defeat. She was actually planning to cancel their outing but since Little Melon was looking forward to it, Xia Meilin couldn't bring herself to do it. She can't bear to see her son's hopeful face being crushed.

She looked at her grandma and smiled a bit. "We'll be going now, grandma. Xiao Gua, say goodbye to grandma."

"Won't grandma come with us?" He blinked a few times.

Ji Ruo chuckled, "No, dear. Grandma is old, I won't be able to catch-up with all the fun you'll about to have. How about you enjoy the amusement park for grandma? I would love to hear all the stories you'll have once you return."

"Okay!" Little Melon grinned happily, "Bye bye, grandma!" He waved his small hands to her.

"Don't worry, I will take care and watch over them the whole way." Lu Yifeng said, reassuring Ji Ruo that he wouldn't let anything happen to Xia Meilin and Little Melon.

Ji Ruo's gaze became cold when she looked at Lu Yifeng. "You better should."

"We'll take our leave now, grandma. We'll try to come back before dinner."

They went out and entered the black Rolls-Royce car. While in the car, Little Melon sat on Lu Yifeng's lap before he took one of his bottled milk from his bag and started drinking it. Lu Yifeng opened his laptop and made him watch some cartoons while they were on their way.

For the sake of Little Melon, Lu Yifeng actually downloaded some educational cartoons in his laptop that's why he was busy with his laptop earlier.

Little Melon was quietly enjoying the cartoon he was watching while drinking his milk. He was recharging for the fun they would be having later that day.
