The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Lu Yifeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when Xia Meilin told him that they should start as friends... FRIENDS!

From being her husband, his position was degraded to being her friend. How did their relationship end up sinking as low as that! They're married!

He leaned back and massaged his temple, the word 'friend' was making his head ache.

Xia Meilin turned and saw him massaging his temple which suddenly made her worried, "Are you alright?"

She touched his forehead to check his temperature but it was normal.

He held her wrist and looked at her. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure? Maybe you should go home and get some rest if you don't feel well."

He couldn't let her know that her own words were the one that brought headache to him, right? "I'm really fine. Anyway, you should go now."

She was hesitant to leave him but since he said that he was okay, she decided to believe him. "Okay... see you later."

She was about to leave when Lu Yifeng stopped her, "Wait, you forgot something."

She turned to him. "What-"

Xia Meilin was cut off when Lu Yifeng leaned and placed a soft kiss on her lips. "Take care."

Her face instantly became red as she moved away from him, "Y-Y-You! I told you that we should start as friends!"

He blinked a few times before he spoke with a straight face, "Yes, I know. It was just a friendly kiss, what's wrong with that?"

Xia Meilin glared at him. How dare he use that as an excuse?! "You're unbelievable!"

"You can always return it if you don't like it."

How is she going to return it? By kissing him back?! No way! She would not be fooled by him!

Lu Yifeng's lips curled up. "Oh, so you like it?"

"Shut up! Why would I like it?! Hmpf!" She quickly went out of the car.

"Then return it."

She gave him a cold glare before she slammed the door and stomped her way to her studio.

A smirk finally found its way on his lips. Be friends? He'd make her regret using those words to him.

Li Bingbing left her place and started heading to the supermarket, using her bicycle. As she reached the place, she took a shopping cart and started getting the things that were on her list.

She paused and turned to look at the man behind her. "You know, if you're trying to stalk me in secret, please try wearing a disguise."

Lu Xian Yu was standing tall before her with a playful smile on his lips.

Kozu was the one who notified Li Bingbing through her phone about Lu Xian Yu's presence since he was using the supermarket's surveillance to watch over her.

He smiled at her, "Why would I wear a disguise? I'm not even trying to hide."

She shrugged and turned away, she continued pushing her cart. Li Bingbing was confident that Lu Xian Yu won't try anything bad to her since they were in public.

Lu Xian Yu followed her and went to walk beside her. "I'm pretty surprised that you're this calm."

"How are your eggs, babe? Are they doing well?" She smirked as she tried taunting him.

His eyes darkened with her question. "Don't worry, my doctor said that my eggs are doing well, honey."

Li Bingbing paused and looked at his pants. "I would love to inspect that but sadly, I can't do it here."

She sighed before she took a box of cereals, "So, how are you going to make me pay for hurting your eggs and face? I would love to know."

"It's pretty simple. I'll make you pay by locking you in a room filled with snakes." He smirked. "You hate snakes, right?"

Just by the mention of snakes, she felt chills run down her spines. She looked at him with a serious face. "You wouldn't dare."

He leaned down to her level, their faces just inches away from each other. "Want to check if I would?"

Having all the information about him, Li Bingbing knew that Lu Xian Yu has the ability to do what he said. He was a ruthless person who wouldn't even show mercy to anyone even if that person was a woman.

"How did you know that I hate snakes?" She asked while glaring at him.

"I have my ways." He grinned before he leaned away and started walking ahead of her.

This time, Li Bingbing started to become nervous. She was afraid that the moment she left the supermarket, he might abduct her and bring her to a room filled with snakes! She has to do something to escape that! She was willing to face anything but snakes!

She gritted her teeth as she pushed her cart towards the cashier. She would look at the entrance of the supermarket from time to time while she was thinking of some plans of. escape in her mind.

"That would be 891.63," The cashier said while looking at her.

"I'll pay for that." Lu Xian Yu said with a smile as he handed the cashier a thousand yuan note.

The woman blushed when she saw Lu Xian Yu. The other girls that are around were stealing glances at him as well.

"Keep the change." He winked before he carried the plastic bags. He turned to Li Bingbing and smiled. "Let's go."

Li Bingbing hesitated. She refused to back down and allow someone like him to take the upper hand in this second round, she would never allow him to do whatever he wanted without a fight.

She let out a bright smile before she clung on his arm. "Thank you, babe. You're the best."
