The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

"I think this necktie looks better on you," Xia Meilin said as she shows him the navy blue necktie she was holding.

Lu Yifeng looked at the necktie. He placed his hand on her waist, "Can you put it on for me?"

Xia Meilin grinned. "Sure!" She started fixing the necktie around his neck.

By the time she finished tying his necktie, a knock was heard. "Master Lu, your brother is looking for you." The maid announced from outside.

"I think he’ll be asking you for Li Bingbing’s whereabouts." Xia Meilin said as she handed him his black coat.

"What do you want me to do?" Lu Yifeng asked.

"Don’t tell him." Xia Meilin clearly knows that Li Bingbing has feelings for her brother and she would probably do something to get Xia Sinian back. Not wanting Lu Xian Yu to come in between, Xia Meilin can only ask for her husband’s help. "Bingbing loves someone else. Besides, she did tell him that they’re just ’friends’ so he has no right to be with Bingbing unless they love each other."

Lu Yifeng cupped her cheek and bowed his head to kiss her lips softly. "Leave everything to me."

Xia Meilin smiled. "Okay. Thank you, dear."

Even if Xia Meilin wouldn’t ask Lu Yifeng for help, Lu Yifeng would still go and talk to Lu Xian Yu. After finding out that his brother was after Li Bingbing, he needs to do something to separate them.

Lu Xian Yu was waiting by the living room with Little Melon who was waiting for his parents. Both of them were staring at each other.

"Uncle Xian Yu, why do you look like dada? Except for your hair, why is it gray?" Little Melon asked as he stared cutely at his uncle.

Lu Xian Yu chuckled at his question. "I’m your father’s brother. I need to look like him." He raked his fingers through his hair. "And this? My hair is beautiful isn’t it?"

"They look like an old man’s hair. Just a bit darker. Uncle Xian Yu has an old man’s hair." Little Melon had a blank look on his face while he continued staring at him.

Lu Xian Yu smiled at what he said. He stood up and sat in front of Little Melon before he reached out and lightly pinched his cheek. "I feel like I’m being bullied for my hair."

Little Melon pouted when Lu Xian Yu started poking his cheek. "Mello’s telling the truth. Old man’s hair is no good for uncle Xian Yu."

"Really? Do you think this might be the reason why your sister Bingbing won’t date me? Should I change the color?"

Little Melon nodded a few times before he grinned cutely, "Make it green or red or blue! If it’s eye-catching, sister Bingbing will notice uncle Xian Yu!"

"Okay, that’s enough you two." Xia Meilin chuckled as she entered the living room. "Come, Xiao Gua, I’m going to drop you off to school today. Daddy has something else to do so he won’t be coming with us."

"Okay, momma!" Little Melon jumped down from the sofa and took his bag. "Bye bye uncle Xian Yu!"

Lu Xian Yu grinned and waved at the little boy as he watched him leave the living room with his mother.

After bidding goodbye to Little Melon, Lu Yifeng went to see his brother.

"Brother, where did you keep Li Bingbing?" Lu Xian Yu asked directly, his playful face becoming serious.

Lu Yifeng didn’t give him a quick reply, instead, he took his time and went to sit on the couch. "Tell me, why are you into her, Xian Yu? Do you love her?"

Lu Xian Yu frowned, "That question again. Do I need to love her just to have her?"

Lu Yifeng took a glance at his wrist watch, he still has two hours to speak with Lu Xian Yu before he’ll leave for his work. He will make use of this time to discipline his brother. He will not allow him to do the same mistake he made. "If you don’t love her, then why are you so persistent in having her?"

"She’s my type." Lu Xian Yu casually answered. "She’s like one of the limited edition cars that I must have."

"If it’s like that, then just give up."

The look on Lu Yifeng’s face was blank, his eyes were cold. Lu Xian Yu knows that Lu Yifeng was being serious right now but despite that, he laughed at this. "I can’t. I will make her mine whether she likes it or not."

"She has someone else she loves."

"So what?" Lu Xian Yu already knows this so this wasn’t something new to him. But for some reason, there’s some strange pain welling up in his chest. "Come on, brother. Just tell me where she is. This is my business so let me handle it."

"She is my worker. I can’t do that."

"Lu Yifeng." Lu Xian Yu started glaring at his brother but Lu Yifeng didn’t mind it.

"Are you sure you don’t love her? You’re acting as you do."

"Bullsh*t! I already told you that I don’t love her!"

"Why don’t you try googling your feelings? I’m pretty sure ’love’ will be the first result in google." Lu Yifeng sighed. He rested his back against the couch and crossed his legs.

Lu Xian Yu’s lips were stretched into a thin line. He was quiet for a while, glaring at his brother. He broke their eye contact when he took his phone out and started searching in Google the signs and symptoms of being in love. He clicked on the first result.

’11 signs you’re in love’

"Do you feel the same way to your wife?"

"Read it out loud."

Lu Xian Yu sighed. He can’t believe that he’s doing this. "You can’t stop staring at them."

"Mm. I agree." Lu Yifeng said with a serious tone in his voice.

Lu Xian Yu couldn’t help but think of the times where he would always stare at Li Bingbing whenever she’s around. Does this mean that he really loves her? No. This was just the first sign. He needs to have everything checked.

"You feel like you’re on high. You always think of her. You want them to be happy with you. You’ve been stressed lately. You’re trying new things to impress her. Your heart rate increases. You easily get jealous of others. You’re okay with the gross stuff. You start planning for your future with them." He read it in one go.

Lu Xian Yu’s face darkened when everything wrote was what he was feeling for Li Bingbing. "So... I actually love her?"

Lu Yifeng shrugged. Since he was too lazy to explain what love is to Lu Xian Yu, he made him search for it. "That’s what Google says on what being in love is."

Mo Jing, who was quietly there the whole time couldn’t help but facepalm. There are two mature men in the room and yet they’re acting like kids. She has been with them since they were little and the twins are still so clueless when it comes in things like feelings. She doesn’t know whether she should laugh or cry when she saw this scene.

She cleared her throat to get their attention, "Master, Second master, can I say something in this?"
