The Devil who devoured Snow White

Yong Liwei's penthouse...

"I really want to move today," Wei Sianqi said as they entered the living room. 

"Sweetie, don't make it too obvious," Lu Mengjie chuckled in reply. "Once he starts falling for you, you better make sure to play it hard before giving in. Also, you better start your rehabilitation. You will need your feet to stalk him around the house."

"Actually," she paused and arched her neck to look at the older woman with a sheepish smile on her lips.

"Don't tell me…"

Wei Sianqi landed her right foot on the land before she pushed her body up. She stood in front of her with a grin. "I can walk."

"You lying bitch."

"Teehee~"

Lu Mengjie raised a brow and crossed her arms. "Teehee? What the fuck is teehee? You gave us a hard time!"

"But I was able to experience being carried by Qinqing-gege." She sighed dreamily when she recalled the way he carried her out of the car. He had broad shoulders and strong arms. He was such a bishounen! He smelt so good too. She could sniff him all day and never get tired of it.

Lu Mengjie rolled her eyes when she saw her new friend enter a world of her own. She decided to ignore her and head to her room to work on her assignment. She took out her laptop and a silhouette of a cat's paw appeared.

"Welcome back, young miss." An android-like voice was heard. He was a program that her mother created- a multifunctional assistant, an advanced artificial intelligence. The future of technology. His specialty was gathering information and controlling any tech that was connected to him. He was in charge of the Lu family's defense and has been upgraded since then. His main body, a supercomputer, was located in her mother's basement.

"How may I help you?"

"Thank you, Kuro. Can you help me gather all the information related to Bai Kai? Dig deep into him. Also, I want you to give me the list of places he recently and usually visited and the schedule for it."

"As you wish."

"How long will it take?"

"I can give you the list of places he visits after an hour. As for the other information related to him, it will take 72 hours and 4 minutes."

"Very well, I will wait for the list then. Send the details to my phone." She sighed. While waiting for the rest of the information to be gathered by Kuro, she could check out the places once she was given the list. In the meantime, Lu Mengjie decided to check out her son. She contacted Bella Qin and when the call went through, as usual, she was scolded for how she left her son with her. After that, she was finally able to see her son. The video call ended shortly after she made sure that her son was well taken care of. 

Ping! It was a message notification that came from Kuro. There she finally had the list of places Bai Jingye's father usually and recently visited. His schedule was included too.

"Thanks, Kuro."

"Always my pleasure, young miss."

She finally turned off her laptop and checked out the list from his most visited places to his rarely visited ones. She could not visit the place that day, nor can she visit it tomorrow since she had something in her schedule. She had to start her work at her company. She may just be just a CEO in name but visiting the place from time to time was already a routine. Besides, if she started working, she would have the advantage of meeting the people she wants. It was the best way to capture the attention of her enemies as well.

A knock stole her attention from her thoughts.

"Jiejie, can I come in?" Wei Sianqi's soft voice was heard from outside.

Lu Mengjie sighed. She was not in the mood to entertain her, especially when she needed to plan what kind of move she would make. She got off the bed and went to open the door and as she did, the young girl looked up at her with a sweet smile. "We haven't had our lunch yet so I prepared something."

Now that she mentioned it, the older woman felt her stomach empty. She didn't notice that she was hungry because of all the things she was thinking. "Ah… thank you."

"You must be hungry. Come, I'm sure you'll like what I made!" Wei Sianqi snaked her arm around hers and began dragging her to the dining room.

When Lu Mengjie saw the food the other girl prepared for her, her eyes widened. It was her favorite— Szechwan chili chicken!

"How did you…?" She could not even finish her question since she was still in a state of shock.

"I kind of… messaged Gege." She smiled shyly. She took out her phone and showed Xia Liqin's name in her contacts.

"You used me?"

"Not totally. I only told him that we haven't eaten lunch yet so I asked for his suggestion." She has been itching to message him ever since she got his contact.

Earlier, she paid for the drink he bought for her and thanked him as a conversation starter. After that, she went on and used Lu Mengjie to her advantage since she knew that the man wasn't interested in her yet. She could only use her resources to get his attention since she could already tell that he was not the type to enjoy being pestered with no reason.

Lu Mengjie ended up chuckling. She reached out and even patted the other girl's head as she flashed her an amused smile. "You're smart. I'll give you that." At first, she was worried that Wei Sianqi would stop liking her brother once she found out about his real attitude but that didn't seem to be the case. She was handling him too. "I can't wait for the moment when you'll become an official member of the Lu family."
