In the middle of the night, s.h.i.+ Enxi who was sleeping was sweating a lot and her brows were furrowed together as if she was having a nightmare.
"No!" Her eyes snapped open and she got up all at once. She was panting as if she ran a hundred miles.
What was that dream about?
Even if she was awake she could clearly remember how her dream went. It was flas.h.i.+ng clearly in front of her eyes.
"I... killed them..." She whispered to herself. It was only a dream but why did it felt so real?
She killed her brother, then her relatives. In her dream, she married Lu Mello for the sake of ruining Fan Xiao Yao. She was pregnant with Huang Li"s child and lied to her husband.
She did so many terrible things in her dream. She even successfully killed s.h.i.+ Anhao but then, she had to kill Huang Li since he was blackmailing her about their secret relations.h.i.+p. If she didn"t want Lu Mello to hate her, she willingly went to see Huang Li behind Lu Mello"s back.
What kind of nightmare did she just had? Her heart was pounding fast.
At the end of her dream, she killed herself by jumping off the cliff but... Lu Mello jumped with her.
As she recalled that part of her dream, tears started streaming down her cheeks. Even after everything she did to him... Lu Mello was willing to die for her.
It was just a dream but why is she crying like everything really happened?
"It"s my fault... I"m sorry for giving you a hard time, Xi"er..." Those were his last words in her dream.
She shook her head as if disagreeing with his words. Why was he saying that? it wasn"t his fault, she was the one who gave him a hard time!
Why? What"s with this nightmare? Why was it bringing pain in her chest?
She was so ruthless... and cruel to Lu Mello... but even after she betrayed him... He still loved her...
She was snapped back from her thoughts when Lu Mello"s phone began to ring.
It was then she noticed that she was alone in the room. Where was he?
She wiped her tears dry before she reached out and check on who was calling Lu Mello this late at night.
She rubbed her eyes and looked again. It really was her brother and he was calling Lu Mello.
Why was he calling him when he could have called her first? Did Lu Mello know her brother"s whereabouts all this time?
She answered the call but didn"t say a thing.
"Mello, I found Weichun." s.h.i.+ Yi"s voice was heard from the other line. "I"m sorry for not contacting you for a while but I"ll explain everything to you. I"ll send you the address."
"My husband is not here." s.h.i.+ Enxi finally spoke up.
"Xiao Xi?"
s.h.i.+ Enxi"s lips quivered as she tried her best to stop from crying. d.a.m.n hormones. Her emotions were becoming unstable than ever.
"I"ve been worried sick you know! You haven"t contacted me even once! Where the h.e.l.l are you? Why didn"t you call me? Why are you calling my husband instead of calling me? Stupid brother, stop making me worry!"
It was quiet in s.h.i.+ Yi"s line for a while. Who knows what he was thinking.
"I"m glad that you"re doing fine, Xiao Xi." The gentleness in his tone was suddenly heard.
"s.h.i.+thead..." She wiped her tears with her sleeves. "Where are you, I"m going to your place right now."
"No, you can"t come here. They are probably waiting for you to lead the way to me."
"What do you mean?"
"It"s a long story. You have to let Mello know about this, Xiao Xi."
Just then, Lu Mello entered the room. He was surprised to see s.h.i.+ Enxi awake and was talking to someone on his phone.
"Alright. You better have a good explanation for disappearing without a word." She turned to her husband and gave him the phone. "It"s my brother, he wanted to talk to you."
"s.h.i.+ Yi?" Why was s.h.i.+ Yi calling him?
"He said that he found your sister."
Hearing her words, Lu Mello grabbed his phone back and talked to s.h.i.+ Yi.
While Lu Mello was speaking with her brother, she got off the bed and went to him, giving him a hug as if to find comfort from him.
Lu Mello didn"t realize the change in s.h.i.+ Enxi, he just thought that just like usual, she wanted a hug from him.
He wrapped an arm around her, hugging her close while he continued to get the details from s.h.i.+ Yi.
Just like what she thought, hugging Lu Mello was making her feel better.
That was just a dream, right? It was just a nightmare... none of those happened. Her brother is alive, her relations.h.i.+p with Fan Xiao Yao is good and Huang Li was not acting like an over-possessive Yandere 1 who loved her so much. In fact, he likes Fan Xiao Yao.
Maybe her hatred can run so deep to the point of wanting to kill her relatives but with Lu Mello beside her, she was not a person who is driven by hatred and revenge anymore.
s.h.i.+ Enxi was quietly listening to their conversation and the more she listened, the more her mind started thinking of the possibility that the men who tried to kill Lu Weichun could be after her brother too... Is that the reason why he suddenly disappeared?
What if her brother found out that someone was actually after him as well?
No matter how she thought of it... what if the real target was actually her?
She pulled away from the hug and went to sit at the bedside.
If she gave it a careful thought, she realized that someone was actually targeting her. They tried to kill Lu Weichun and by doing that, they managed to frame s.h.i.+ Enxi. If Lu Mello didn"t intervene with the case, the police would have long taken her for interrogation, right? After all, she was the last person to have talked with Lu Weichun.
Her relations.h.i.+p with Lu Mello was almost severed. If he didn"t take her to see the dead body that was found, and if they didn"t found out that it was actually the body of another person, her relations.h.i.+p with Lu Mello will be severed completely.
Now... those people are after s.h.i.+ Yi. If they killed him, the company will be handed to her and who knows, she might be framed by those people again. They might make it look like she ordered her brother to be killed just to have the company.
Ah... in the end, they were after her, right? She was their main target...
After ending the call, Lu Mello felt a sudden chill. The temperature of the room was akin to an ice room.
He turned to s.h.i.+ Enxi who has a bone-chilling smile on her lips. He never saw her smile like that. It made all the hair in his body stand!
Her emotions were not easily hidden on her face. Her golden curls and fair skin against the white nightdress made her look heavenly but with the way she smiled, she was like an angel who turned into a devil.
This smile was so similar... almost similar to Li Bingbing"s smile whenever she was about to ruin someone. Well, they were actually the women who tried to cling to his uncle Lu Xian Yu.
The only difference between Li Bingbing and s.h.i.+ Enxi"s smiles was that... s.h.i.+ Enxi"s smile was a smile of ice and fury. It was as if she was ready to tear someone to pieces.
It was just a smile but it made Lu Mello unconsciously put his guards up.
"Darling... they wanted to play with me. How cute."
H... Huh? What does she mean? A yandere is often sweet, caring, and innocent before switching into someone who displays an extreme, often violent or psychotic, level of devotion to a love interest.
