The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

"Are you going to attend and watch the fashion show next week?" Ren Shiyuan asked as he walked beside Nian Jiezhen.

They were currently walking towards the bus stop.

"I’ll try." Nian Jiezhen replied. Even if she wanted to go, she would be going back to work next week.

"If you’re going to come, wear one of those dresses that I chose for you, okay?" He said with a charming smile on his face.

Nian Jiezhen ended up smiling a bit, "Okay."

Since she witnessed Ren Shiyuan’s talent in choosing the perfect clothes for others, she didn’t mind wearing one of the dresses that he chose for her. But right now, Nian Jiezhen wasn’t in the mood to admire him. She was feeling so sad and depressed that she just wanted to drink it away. She turned to Ren Shiyuan. "Xiao Xi."

Ren Shiyuan turned to look at her when he noticed the sudden change in her voice. "Yes?"

She forced out a smile, "Let’s pass by a bar and go get some drink."

He blinked a few times, "Huh?"

"It’s okay if you don’t want to." She chuckled a bit when she suddenly remembered that Ren Shiyuan was a model. "I’ll invite someone else instead after I drop you."

Ren Shiyuan narrowed his eyes, "I can’t allow a girl to go into a bar without a companion."

"You can’t go drinking, Xiao Xi, you’re a model. I’m pretty sure that your manager won’t like it if he or she finds out that you got yourself drunk."

"Who said that I’ll go get myself drunk?" He lightly flicked her forehead. "I’m just going to accompany you."

Nian Jiezhen pouted as she rubbed her forehead lightly.

"Besides, I’m pretty sure that I’m a better drinker than you." Ren Shiyuan grinned.

She huffed, "Oh really? I don’t think so."

"Ah, are you challenging me, princess?" He smirked playfully at her.

"I would love to have a drinking contest with you but sadly, you’re not allowed to get yourself drunk, or else who would bring us home?" She lightly laughed. "Besides, you’re not allowed to drink, remember?"

Ren Shiyuan crossed his arms and pouted. He was a good drinker and his alcohol tolerance was high but since he was in his female disguise, he needs to get his act together.

Nian Jiezhen chuckled when she saw him pout. He looked so adorable when he did. She hugged his arm and started dragging him to another direction instead. "I’m going to get myself drunk so take care of me after, okay?"

Ren Shiyuan chuckled lightly at this. "Why do you suddenly want to go for a drink?"

"Drinking will mend my broken heart."

He raised a brow, "Broken heart? A beautiful girl like you got dumped by someone?"

She smiled a bit. "Yeah... the man I love is married so... I basically got dumped by him even if he didn’t say those words."

When he heard her words, he realized who she was talking about. "The man you love... is it Lu Yifeng?"

----

While on their way home, Lu Yifeng decided to pass by a restaurant to have their dinner there.

"That guy earlier, he’s your friend?" Lu Yifeng asked after they ordered their food.

Xia Meilin ended up being surprised by what he said. Lu Yifeng was able to easily know Ren Shiyuan’s real gender just by looking? His observation skills were definitely good!

"Yes, he’s a friend of mine."

Hearing their conversation, Little Melon was confused. They didn’t have a guy with them except for his mother’s bodyguards so who was his father talking about?

Xia Meilin noticed the confused look on Little Melon’s face so she decided to tell him the truth. "Yunxi’s real name is Ren Shiyuan, he is a man."

Little Melon’s eyes went wide as he gasped out loud. Sister Yunxi was a MAN?! "But she’s too pretty, momma! That’s impossible!"

Xia Meilin ended laughing lightly when she saw Little Melon’s reaction. "He’s a man." She took out her phone and started looking up on Ren Shiyuan’s male photo before she showed it to Little Melon.

Another gasp was heard from the little boy. The man on the photo was so handsome and his features were the same as the woman Little Melon talked to earlier... except in the photo, he looked so manly. "He looks like sister Yunxi!"

"That’s because it’s him." Xia Meilin grinned.

It was as if Little Melon’s soul went out of his body when he learned about the truth. He can’t believe that he was deceived by Ren Shiyuan!

"Xiao Gua, keep this a secret, okay?" Xia Meilin patted his head and smiled. "Sister Jiezhen needs to find this out herself."

Little Melon tilted his head to the side in an adorable manner as he stared up at her. "Why keep it a secret from sister Jiezhen?"

"That’s because I want to give her a surprise." She grinned playfully at him.

Lu Yifeng ended up sighing at this. Just by the way she grinned; he knew that Xia Meilin was up to something. As time goes on, Xia Meilin was getting bolder and more mischievous. Was this the effect of her being pregnant?

"Momma, if sister- um... brother Shiyuan is really a man, then does that means that he has fake boobies?"

Xia Meilin ended up laughing out loud, finding his question really funny.

Little Melon pursed his lips. "What’s so funny, momma?" He was confused at this. What was wrong with his question?

He turned his head and looked at his father for answers. Although Lu Yifeng’s lips were curled up too, a small laugh was heard from him. "Dada?"

Xia Meilin wiped off the tears that formed on the side of her eyes before she turned to Little Melon to answer her question. "Yes, his boobies are fake, baby. For others to believe that he’s a woman, he needs to have boobies, right?"

"Ooh! Mello understands now!"

Just then, the waitress arrived with the food they ordered. She placed them on the table before she said in English: "Enjoy your meal."
