The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 29: Family Dinner

"Dada!" Little Melon went and hugged his leg. "Mello saw you down the stage!"

Lu Yifeng patted his son's head, "You did well."

The Little Melon grinned happily when he got a praise from his father.

Their attention was caught when they heard a female clear her throat. The three of them looked towards the woman.

Jing Yue was looking at her son as if trying to remind him to introduce her.

Lu Yifeng didn't forget his mother, he actually wanted to show his mother how much his new family meant to him. "Oh yeah, Meilin, Xiao Gua, meet my mother, Jing Yue."

Xia Meilin turned to his mother and noticed the similar features between them. Lu Yifeng's mother looked young, it wasn't even obvious that she was actually his mother! She looked like she was Lu Yifeng's sister instead!

"It's nice to finally meet you, Madam Lu." Xia Meilin said with a polite smile on her lips. "My husband told me that you would be coming to my concert. I am happy to finally meet you, Madam Lu.

Jing Yue raised a brow at her, " Oh really? Happy? You don't look like one. Are my eyes deceiving me?"

Xia Meilin gulped nervously when she received a piercing gaze from Jing Yue and this made her shrunk to Lu Yifeng's side.

Lu Yifeng noticed this that was why he turned to his mother and was about to say something but he was interrupted by Xia Meilin's soft voice.

"I'm sorry if it didn't look that way, madam." She straightened her back while she was standing close to Lu Yifeng, "It's because I am feeling nervous, after all, you are my husband's mother."

Jing Yue scanned her face and when she saw that she was telling the truth. Jing Yue turned to Lu Yifeng, "Have you been telling her bad things about me?"

Lu Yifeng's mood lightened up and what added to that was whenever Xia Meilin addressed him as her husband. His blank face softened up and a small smile was seen on his lips, "No, I didn't."

"Oh yeah, I prepared a small gift for you." Xia Meilin went and took a box from her bag before she handed it to Jing Yue.

Jing Yue looked at the box that Xia Meilin gave her before she accepted it with a small smile, a smile that was similar to Lu Yifeng's. "Thank you."

"You will love it." Lu Yifeng was smiling at his mother.

Seeing how her son was smiling with his eyes sparkling, Jing Yue couldn't help but sigh in defeat. He really loved that woman. She was actually hoping to convince him into a divorce but as a mother who has a soft spot for her son, she couldn't help but give Xia Meilin a chance and see what kind of woman she was.

Xia Meilin may look so fragile and weak but that didn't convince Jing Yue that she was one. The look on Xia Meilin's eyes was different and being a granddaughter of a former general, there was more to Xia Meilin than what meets the eyes.
