The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

She chuckled, "I know a way but you need to do what I say, okay?"

Lu Yifeng couldn’t help but wonder what she has in mind, "So we’re still going to do it?"

She blushed shyly, "Tonight..."

He smiled and hugged her waist, "Tonight it is then."

"By the way, didn’t you have a surprise for me? Can you still show it to me?" Xia Meilin asked as she tried changing the topic.

Remembering his own surprise, Lu Yifeng smiled. "It doesn’t matter where we are. I just need a dark place."

She gulped nervously at what he said, "A... dark place?"

He held her hand and started dragging her to his study. He closed the curtains before he took a rectangular box from his desk.

When he opened it, a necklace was seen. "I just need to give you this. A necklace with 100 languages of how to say ’I love you’."

He removed it from the container and took his phone, using the phone’s flashlight, he placed the necklace in front and a projection was shown against the wall. It was just like what he said, it was ’I love you’ in 100 different languages.

This was the famous necklace that was been going around the social media but Lu Yifeng was still able to customize it. The tiny diamonds that surround the nanotechnology were real. On the silver side, Xia Meilin and Lu Yifeng’s names were engraved on it.

Xia Meilin couldn’t help but be touched with his surprise. It was definitely something sweet of him do. She couldn’t help but fall deeper for him.

"I know that I am a person who is not capable of being loved...-"

"Don’t say that." Xia Meilin said with a frown. She took the necklace from him and wore it around her neck, her gaze never left him while she did. After successfully putting on the necklace, she held his hand. "Don’t say that you aren’t capable of being loved when everyone is capable of doing so. Everyone has the chance to experience love and you are one of them."

Lu Yifeng smiled but the way he smiled was different from what he showed earlier, it was a smile full of pain. "You’re really kind, do you know that? I wonder... if... " the past her will say the same thing.

"Why are you suddenly saying something like this, Yifeng?" Xia Meilin couldn’t help but get worried. They were supposed to have a lovely moment, right? Why does it feel different?

"I have committed great sins against you."

"I have already forgiven you for it. I know that we didn’t have a good start but that’s okay, we’re already working things between us, right? That’s all in the past."

Lu Yifeng lowered his head. He knows that she was only saying that because she has no memories of the things he did to her in the previous life. Will she still be able to forgive him if she learns that he was the one who caused her death? Will she still forgive him if she remembered all the torture he gave her?

Because of the dream he had earlier, Lu Yifeng was reminded of his past and that past was like a knife that was stabbed deeply in his chest. He knows that his past will always haunt him. "Do you know that... I am willing to take any measure just to have you?"

"You already have me, we’re already married. You’re my husband and I’m your wife." Xia Meilin couldn’t understand why he was being like this, one moment they were doing fine and the next moment something feels wrong.

"You don’t know how far I can go just to have what I want. But this time, I want to do it properly... To make you feel my love."

"I don’t understand you, Yifeng. You’re confusing me."

He reached out and took her in his arms, "Meilin, I really am sorry."

Xia Meilin didn’t know what to do. She doesn’t know what he was talking about and why he kept on apologizing even if she already forgave him. She sighed and hugged him back, she gently patted his back. "You’re already making up for your mistakes, right? That’s what matters. I am happy to be with you, Yifeng. Back then, I am here because of Xiao Gua’s sake, but that reason has change. Right now, I am clearly staying because of you and our son. Mr. Lu, let’s not be a prisoner of our past, okay? We’re living in the present and we’re making our future together, that’s what matters."
