The Devil's Sleeping Beauty-Chapter 57 Liars go to hell EDITED

They entered the car and were driven back to Little Melon's school.

"Are you free tomorrow?" He asked as he looked at her.

"I guess so, why do you ask?"

He rested his back against the seat. "I want you to attend the Charity gala with me tomorrow night."

She blinked a few times as she turned to look at him, "Charity gala?"

"Mm."

"Okay... will we be bringing Xiao Gua?"

"No. He needs to sleep early as he has class the following day, he would be too tired if we bring him."

"I see... Then, I will let him know about this." Even if she wanted to bring him, Lu Yifeng was right. Little Melon was going to school now, she can't allow him to accompany her and let him stay up late.

When they arrived at the school gate and got down from the car, everyone was looking their way. They entered the school and saw Little Melon waiting by the school's entrance.

Little Melon was happily chatting with his new friends and there were a couple of them, even a few little girls who would smile with a blush on their cheeks when they got noticed by Little Melon.

When he saw his parents, Little Melon waved goodbye to his new friends before he rushed to his parents. "Momma! Dada!"

Xia Meilin bent down and caught Little Melon in her arms. "You look like you had a fun day."

"Yes! Mello made a lot of friends!" He grinned happily.

Xia Meilin scooped him up, "I'm so happy for you." She smiled back at him.

"Look dada! Mello has three stars on either hand!" He proudly showed his hands with red stars on it.

Lu Yifeng patted his head, with a small smile on his lips he said, "Good job."

The other kids who were waiting for their parents and the parents of the other children couldn't help but take a glance at the beautiful family of three.

"Mello's mama and papa look good too."

"His papa looks like Mello."

"I wish my papa and mama look as pretty as them."

While they were walking out of the school grounds, Little Melon kept on talking to his parents about what happened during his first day of school. He even mentioned all his new friends' names to them until they entered the car.

Lu Yifeng and Xia Meilin were listening patiently to him and would sometimes insert comments.

It wasn't long before they arrived at their place, Lu Residence.

"Welcome back, master, madam, young master." Mo Jing greeted with a smile. "The dinner will be ready soon."

"Thank you, Auntiee Mo Jing." Little Melon smiled at her before he entered the house with his parents.

"Call us once it's ready." Xia Meilin told Mo Jing.

"Yes, madam."

Xia Meilin accompanied Little Melon to his room and helped him change his clothes while Lu Yifeng headed straight to his study. It was just then that her phone vibrated. When she took a peek on it, she saw that received a message from her WeChat.

[Hey. It's me, Feng Ning. I will be coming back to China on Wednesday. I just wanted to let you know.]

Xia Meilin's face brightened up when she read his message that's why she instantly gave him a reply, [I'm free on Wednesday. I can pick you up if you want.]

Feng Ning: [Really? That would be great. I can't wait to see you, Xiao Mei.]

A faint blush appeared on her cheeks when she saw his reply. Feng Ning was her first love and she couldn't help but smile every time she thought about him. [Me too.]

She kept her phone down after that, her mood all better. When she turned her head, she met Little Melon's judgmental gaze.

Little Melon had just finished changing into his cute panda onesie, "Why is Momma smiling at her phone?"

Xia Meilin couldn't help but feel guilty with the way Little Melon was looking at her. She was already married to his father and yet, she was thinking about another man.

"I was just looking at your photos. Let's go, baby."

Seeing his mother's nose twitched, Little Melon knew that Xia Meilin was lying. "Liars go to hell, Momma."

"I'm not-

They were interrupted by sudden a knock at the door. When Xia Meilin went to open the door, she saw Lu Yifeng, wearing a plain T-shirt and slacks.

"Time for dinner."

"Y-yes. Let's go, baby." Xia Meilin held Little Melon's hand and walked out of his room.

Little Melon was pouting the whole way, he doesn't like it when his mother was lying to him.

Lu Yifeng noticed that Little Melon wasn't in a good mood that's why he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

"Momma is lying to Mello." Little Melon puffed out his chubby cheeks before he turned to look up at his mother.

Xia Meilin inwardly panicked. How can her son tell that she was lying? "I'm not!"

Lu Yifeng saw how her nose twitched, hence he was able to know that she was. He learned this during his previous life.

As they reached the dining room, Lu Yifeng carried Little Melon and placed him on his usual seat before he sat beside him. "Why do you think your mother is lying?"

"Momma was smiling at her phone. Momma said she was looking at Mello's photos but she's lying."

Ever since the day Lu Yifeng told Little Melon the truth about being his father, Little Melon started becoming observant of his mother.

Lu Yifeng turned to Xia Meilin and this made her nervous. She wasn't cheating or anything, right? So... she doesn't really have to hide it from them, but... Little Melon doesn't like her conversing with other men and... Lu Yifeng might discover that the man she'll be meeting was actually the man she loved.

She knew it wasn't right to love another man because she was a married woman now, but she was forced into this marriage and the man she really loved was her childhood friend.

For him, she was willing to divorce Lu Yifeng but she knew that was impossible; she doesn't want her son to have a broken family.

Was she not allowed to experience the love and happiness from the man she loved? But Xia Meilin could only sacrifice everything and let go of her old love. Little Melon was one of the best things that happened to her and as a mother, she wanted her beloved son to be happy.

"Nothing, it was just a message from a friend. I am going to pick him up from the airport on Wednesday."

"Him?" Lu Yifeng and Little Melon questioned simultaneously.

Xia Meilin wanted to cry, how could the father and son duo treat her this way?
