The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Xia Meilin couldn't do anything, she can only give Lu Yifeng a glare before she went and carried Little Melon in her arms.

Little Melon snuggled close to her chest as his eyes were still a bit sleepy. "Mello has a nice sleep."

She was helpless whenever it comes to Little Melon. She still couldn't believe she has an adorable little angel in her arms. "I'm glad you did."

Lu Yifeng walked towards them before he leaned and kissed his son on his chubby, soft cheek. "Good morning."

Little Melon giggled softly before he opened his eyes and looked at his father. He reached out his hands to him. "Dadaaa"

Although her heart skipped a beat when Lu Yifeng came close, Xia Meilin ended up frowning when she saw Little Melon's actions. Does he want to be carried by Lu Yifeng? Na-uh. She's not going to allow Lu Yifeng to steal her son early in the morning.

She turned a blind eye to Little Melon's action as she walked out of the room while carrying him in her arms.

Little Melon turned to look at his mother's face with a cute pout on his lips. Didn't his mother see that he wanted to be carried by his father?

"Momma."

Xia Meilin turned to him with a bright smile. "Yes, baby?"

"..." Why does he feel like he will be making his mother sad if he tells her his thoughts?

Lu Yifeng was following them from behind, his face was gentle as he watched them in front of him.

As they entered the dining room, they saw Jing Yue placing the food on the table.

When Jing Yue raised her head and looked at them, she greeted them with a smile. "Just in time for breakfast. I just finished cooking some of your favorite meals."

"Mami!"

Xia Meilin placed Little Melon on the ground and as soon as she did, Little Melon started running towards Jing Yue. He hugged her by her legs. "Good morning, mami!"

"Good morning, sweetheart." Jing Yue said with a bright smile plastered on her face. She carried Little Melon and kissed him on his forehead. "How was your sleep?"

"Mello dream of ghosts! Mello defeated all of them with dada's help! Dada and Mello are heroes!" He punched his fist in the air after he said that.

Xia Meilin pouted, "You didn't dream of me?"

"Mello did! Momma is the princess we saved in the dream!" Little Melon grinned happily.

Jing Yue placed Little Melon on his baby chair before she sat beside him. She smiled at him. "That is sure a nice dream." She turned to Xia Meilin and her son. "Come, let's eat."

They went to their seats and started eating. Since Jing Yue was the one helping Little Melon in eating, Xia Meilin was eating peacefully.

Little Melon turned to his father when he suddenly remembered something. "Will dada come home early?"

"Do you want me to?"

Little Melon nodded a couple of times. "Mello wants dada to come home early."

Xia Meilin sighed. She feels so defeated whenever Lu Yifeng would always end up getting Little Melon's attention. She tried changing the topic instead. "Xiao Gua, starting next week, you will be entering preschool. Are you excited?"

Little Melon's eyes sparkled. He was easily distracted by it. "Yes! Mello will make lots of friends!"

According to Little Melon's knowledge, a school is where kids go, make friends and play. Since he doesn't have friends yet, Little Melon was excited to play with kids like him.

Normal children would have been scared to enter a new environment but with Little Melon, it was the opposite. He was just like his mother when she was at his age.

When Xia Meilin was a kid, she was a very extroverted girl.

Jing Yue chuckled upon seeing how happy Little Melon was. "Can you give me an example on how you'll introduce yourself in front of everyone?"

Little Melon nodded his head excitedly before he cleared his throat and put on a serious face, this time. "Mello's name is Xia Mello. Mello loves cupcakes. Mello loves dada and momma. Mello loves cats."

Lu Yifeng, who was sitting beside Xia Meilin, took a glance at her. Xia Meilin did the same and their eyes met.

Xia Meilin knows what his look means that's why she turned to Little Melon. "Xiao Gua, Mello is your English name... although I really don't mind if you prefer it, however, from now on, your surname is Lu, okay? It's supposed to be Lu Gua or Lu Mello."

Little Melon's family name was already changed by Su Lei when he was ordered by Lu Yifeng to do it. It was done on the same day where he got married to Xia Meilin.

Although Su Lei thought that 'Mello' was Little Melon's actual name that's why he registered the name 'Lu Mello' instead.

"Your mother is right, Gua'er. From now on, you will carry your father's name with you." Jing Yue patted his head. "You are a member of the Lu family."

Little Melon didn't really care about his name. He just preferred 'Mello' since it sounded cooler for him. Everyone called him 'Mello' that's why he got used to it when he was in London.

When Jing Yue mentioned that he'll be carrying his father's name, he grinned happily. "Okay! Mello will remember!"

Xia Meilin wanted to cry. Little Melon, why does he looks like he loves his father more than her?
