The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

When Lu Xian Yu woke up, he found himself inside a strange room. A beeping sound was heard near him.

"You’re awake."

He turned his head and saw Li Bingbing getting the lunchbox that she brought.

When he saw her, his lips curled up. "You’re here."

"I won’t be staying long here, I have somewhere else I should be." She said with a blank look on her face. She adjusted his bed and opened the lunchbox for him. "Here’s your breakfast."

"Feed me?"

She raised a brow as she looked at him.

"I took the bullet for you, come on, feed me." He pouted.

Li Bingbing pursed her lips and ended up feeding him instead. When he finished the food, she placed the lunchbox aside before she faced him. "Thank you... for saving me."

"It was my fault that you ended up being kidnapped by those men." He said.

"What that man said... you stole his woman and killed her... Is that true?"

"Yes." He didn’t deny it. That was what made Huang Xiubo come after him. "She was a spy in my team."

"I see..." She sighed. "No wonder he came after you."

"Li Bingbing."

"Hm?"

Lu Xian Yu clenched his fists tight, "You’re dating Xia Sinian again?"

She nodded. "Yes."

"If I steal you away from him, will you love me back?"

His words made her frown. "He’s the man I love. What we have before is... something we did for fun. We don’t have anything between us."

"I love you."

Her eyes went wide in surprise. "W-what?"

"Go as far as you can, honey. The next time we meet, I will definitely make you mine whether you like it or not. Since I’m currently bedridden, I’m afraid I can’t steal you right now." He smiled at her but for some reason it was stiff.

She stared at him for a while before she smirked. "Oh, are we going to play hide and seek?"

He laughed lightly, "You can put it that way. But I’m serious, even if you’re with someone else, the moment I find you, I will take you away."

"I have someone else I love, Lu Xian Yu." She seriously said.

He smirked, "So? I don’t care about that. That’s why it’s called ’stealing’, sweetheart."

She chuckled a bit. Lu Xian Yu is one crazy man. "Then I guess I have to hide well."

"You should. You can hide anywhere you want, this world is our playground." He held his hand. "And this game will start today."

Li Bingbing stared at their hands. Even though Lu Xian Yu was saying those words in a playful manner, she knows that he was serious, she knows that he was threatening her. "Is there a time limit?"

"Hm... how about ten years?" He grinned at her.

She frowned, "That’s a really long time."

"Come on, I’ll be searching for you all around the world so shouldn’t that be enough?" He raised her hand and kissed the back of it. "It’s your fault for making me fall for you."

She snickered. "My fault? You just don’t know how to play the game, Mr. Lu. That’s why you lose."

He laughed lightly, "Then I guess you’re just a good player."

Li Bingbing raised an eyebrow, " ’Good’? I am not just ’good’. I’m an amazing player."

He smirked, "Yeah, and amazing on bed too."

"That, I won’t deny." She grinned shamelessly.

"I guess this is our round two. I will surely defeat you this time."

"We’ll see about that, baby." She pulled her hand away and stood up. "But I’m just going to let you know that... I will always have one man in my heart and he will never be you."

"Then I will just have to kick him out of there." He playfully smiled.

Li Bingbing didn’t say anything, instead, she turned and was about to leave but she stopped when she heard Lu Xian Yu say; "Won’t you give me a kiss before you go?"

"I’m sorry, I’m currently in a relationship. You see, I’m loyal to my man. If I am still single, then I would have given you one unforgettable kiss. " After saying that she left him there.

"You’re leaving tonight?" Xia Meilin was surprised with what Xia Sinian said.

They were outside the private ICU room that Little Melon was in.

"Yes. Li Bingbing and I decided to go tonight. The earlier I get my treatment, the better chance I will have, right?" He held her hands together. "I have left the business in your husband’s hands. Give me report about it from time to time, okay?"

Xia Meilin lowered her head and pursed her lips. Her tears were threatening to fall but she tried her best not to cry. She raised her head and forced out a smile. "Okay. Don’t forget to call me everyday, okay?"

He smiled and nodded. He leaned and hugged her close. "I’m going to miss you."

Tears rolled down her cheeks because of the hug he gave her. "Me too... I love you, brother."

He gently stroked her hair. "I love you too, Xiao Mei."

They hugged each other for a while. Xia Sinian was the first to break it. He touched her cheeks and wiped her tears away before he leaned and kissed her forehead.

"You don’t have to worry, Meimei, I’ll make sure to watch him 24/7 for you." Li Bingbing said with a smile as she walked towards them.
