The Devil who devoured Snow White

"What are you doing here?" Lu Mengjie asked the moment she saw her brother sitting at the driver's seat. His shoulder-length hair was tied into a half ponytail and he was in his casual attire, a black hoodie with a white paw print in the middle.

"I got notified that you wanted to be picked up so I've come and decided to be Jiejie's driver for today."

"Ugh…" His sister-complex was getting worse. "And how about work?"

"Don't worry, I've cleared my schedule for today." Xia Liqin had actually planned it out ever since she had told him that she was coming back to the country. He was a lazy man, yes, but he would never waste his chance to spend it with his sister.

"Bring me back, Lu Mengjie," Wei Sianqi's voice caught the sibling's attention.

"Who is she?" Xia Liqin asked, raising a brow at the bespectacled younger female. His eyes narrowed as he ended up staring at her from head to toe. She looked like a sweet girl but he knew best not to judge a book by its cover. His sister may look nice but he knew best that she was a spawn from hell just like Shi Enxi. 

"Yong Liwei's baby," Lu Mengjie replied rather casually.

His eyes widened in surprise, baffled at the information he received. "He cheated on you on your first day together?!" 

"No, of course not. My husband's baby is my baby," she replied with a grin.

"I am not anyone's baby," she hissed.

"Whatever you say, sweetie." She turned to her brother and flashed him a smile. "Qinqing, help me get her in the car."

A groan was heard. As much as he loved his sister, he didn't like doing things that would make him sweat. Just seeing Wei Sianqi in the wheelchair and at the thought of carrying her just to transfer in the car was already draining him.

"Liqin."

He heaved out a sigh. "Coming." He went out of the car and began approaching the girl in the wheelchair.

"I don't want to go with you! Take me back!" She demanded.

Xia Liqin stopped a few feet away just to look at his sister with a tired gaze. "She doesn't want to go with us, Jiejie. Can't we just leave her?"

"No, can't do." She was not planning on leaving the girl alone, not when she knew that she has suicidal tendencies. It may not be her duty to watch over her but Wei Sianqi was someone Yong Liwei cared for. Even if jealousy was burning in her chest, she didn't want it to cloud her judgment. She didn't want her emotions to cloud her but… she was not perfect. She also has her limitations. As long as Wei Sianqi did not bite her first, then Lu Mengjie would continue to treat her with kindness for the sake of her husband. It was better to make more friends than enemies but if ever she turned out to be someone who could threaten her and the people she loved, Lu Mengjie would never hesitate on retaliating. Just like as the saying went, 'keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer'.

Wei Sianqi was placed in the backseat while Lu Mengjie took the shotgun seat. After folding the wheelchair and putting it in the trunk, the man went back to the driver's seat. He already looked so drained just by doing simple work. Since he was always in his room, he wasn't able to work on his stamina at all.

"Where are you taking me?" The girl at the back inquired the moment Xia Liqin began driving away from the place.

"To wherever I go."

"Oh, so now you're babysitting me?"

"I'm glad to see you admit that you're being a baby right now, sweetie," Lu Mengjie retorted with a small chuckle.

Wei Sianqi could only glare at her from behind as a response. She could only give up and follow them to wherever they were taking her.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce you to my brother. Wei Sianqi, meet Xia Liqin."

They both ignored each other even after they were introduced together by Lu Mengjie. They were obviously not in the mood to get friendly with each other.

On the other hand, Lu Mengjie eyed her brother from his body to his head. He was handsome alright. His features were almost similar to their papa. The only difference was that her brother didn't have gentleness on his face. He would either have a poker face, look bored, or look tired. The only times his expression differed was whenever he was at home or in front of his computer, playing games. Now that she thought of it, he has never introduced any girlfriends to her. 

"Qinqing, are you currently dating someone?" His sister ended up asking, making the poor man shot his gaze at her. It was a good thing that there was a red light and the car was currently at pause.

Deep lines appeared between his brow as he looked at her with a scowl.

Seeing his reaction was already enough for her. "No, I guess."

"Why are you suddenly asking me such weird questions?"

"Because I'm your sister. I care for you," she replied with a kind smile, hiding her schemes under it. "I am now married. You're next and soon it will be Jinjin's turn."

He shot her a disgusted look before he turned his gaze back at the road. "I'm not interested."

She blinked a few times in confusion. She suddenly remembered Bai Jingye's case. "Do you not believe in love?"

"Only a stupid person won't do, Jiejie. Who won't believe in love when it already exists? Just because I'm not interested in dating doesn't mean that I don't believe in love."

"So you're planning to die a virgin then?"

Lu Mengjie's question caught him off guard that even the conservative Wei Sianqi ended up blushing.

"I know that there's no one who can compare to me but you should try and give other women a chance, Qinqing. As long as the girl has a good personality then I don't have complaints," she continued. 

"…"
