s.h.i.+ Enxi wasn"t grumpy anymore after she had the melon that Lu Mello brought for her. Aside from that, she was very comfy with the new seat and a warm blanket on her thighs.
It was a success in Lu Mello"s part. He knew that if he was going to pick her up that way, she would surely get mad to him so to make it up, he planned everything ahead of time.
"Those culprits have already seen through your disguise. Allowing others to know who you really are will help in having more eyes around you, those people will have a hard time trying to make a move on you." Lu Mello explained. "From now on, have more people around you and don"t let anyone strange approach you."
She scoffed, "I can handle them all by myself. If they attacked me altogether, it will be easier for me to beat them up."
"That may be true if you aren"t pregnant, but you are. You have to be more careful for the sake of our child." Lu Mello seriously said.
s.h.i.+ Enxi"s lips were stretched into a thin line since she couldn"t argue back to him. What he was saying was true. She shouldn"t act careless anymore.
What happened earlier that lunch was proof that anything could happen. If it weren"t for Fan Xiao Yao and Qiao Nuan, she would have fallen hard on the ground and ended up having a miscarriage.
If she wasn"t pregnant, falling down wasn"t an issue but at that moment, she felt her heart jump on her throat, her palms were sweating at the thought of falling. She instinctively tried to protect her child from the impact in case if she really did fell.
"Do you understand what I am trying to say now?" Lu Mello held her hand and caressed the back of it with his thumb. "Please be more careful. Our child"s life is also in the line."
"Alright." She leaned and rested her head on his shoulder. "I will be careful."
Lu Mello was relieved that s.h.i.+ Enxi was listening to him this time.
"Mr. Lu." Liu Ying"s voice was heard from the front seat.
"What is it? Are we being followed?"
"No, no one is following us. The car that was on our watch has changed its route. Should we send men to follow them?" Liu Ying asked.
"No need. Let them leave. If they noticed that they are being watched, they might try to disappear from our radar."
Those men well-trained and were a group of experts. It was already hard to keep track of them. If not for having s.h.i.+ Enxi act as prey, they might still be looking for them.
Lu Mello was about to ask s.h.i.+ Enxi about her parents" death when he suddenly noticed that she has fallen fast asleep.
He smiled helplessly upon seeing her innocent sleeping face. He placed a hand on her tummy, gently rubbing it. "I wonder... Will you turn out to be a little villain?"
s.h.i.+ Enxi was the type of villain who didn"t like to strike with her own hands unless it was necessary. She liked to stand in dark places where people couldn"t find her and execute crafty plots. She destroyed people through subtle means and set them up for a hard fall.
In the past, she only ordered Huang Li to do the dirty work The only people that she killed with her own hands were s.h.i.+ Yi, s.h.i.+ Anhao and Huang Li, after he betrayed her.
The saying "A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fist" was perfect for s.h.i.+ Enxi. It was just... She wasn"t a man.
Although Lu Mello agreed with that saying. He didn"t like to use his fist as much as possible, especially when he was set on destroying someone.
He preferred scheming and let others do the work. Maybe that was one thing he had in common with s.h.i.+ Enxi.
Upon reaching their place, s.h.i.+ Enxi was wakened up by Lu Mello.
Mo Jing greeted the two together with the other servants.
"The dinner is already prepared. After you changed your clothes, come down and eat." Mo Jing invited with a gentle smile on her lips.
s.h.i.+ Enxi smiled back at her, "Thank you, Nanny Mo."
"Mello, your mother called. She said that she will be visiting us tomorrow." Mo Jing said, turning to Lu Mello. "She said that she"ll be coming here with your aunt Bingbing."
s.h.i.+ Enxi blinked a few times, "Jiejie is going to visit too?"
"Yes."
Lu Mello frowned inside. What was his mother trying to do? Didn"t he already tell her that telling the truth to Li Bingbing will be s.h.i.+ Enxi"s job?
He knew that his mother was just trying to help. She was close to s.h.i.+ Enxi"s mother, Mu Xijiu. It was only normal to feel concerned but he just couldn"t help but think that she was meddling, especially when he has already told to leave everything to him.
His mother was really a worrywart whenever it came to important matters such as these.
Lu Mello brought s.h.i.+ Enxi in his room. Should he tell her about the possible reason why they were going to visit her tomorrow?
s.h.i.+ Enxi turned to Lu Mello and narrowed her eyes, "Was it your doing?"
Ah... His wife is really sharp. Having a quick-minded woman as his wife was also scary.
"I think so."
"What did you told them?" s.h.i.+ Enxi crossed her arms.
He averted his gaze from her, "Err... I only told my parents about it. I haven"t said anything to your sister."
"What did you told them?" She repeated.
"I told them that... Your parents didn"t die because of an accident and that there could be a possibility that the people who killed them may also be the people who are now after you and s.h.i.+ Yi."
Just like what he expected, the latter part of what he said was new so s.h.i.+ Enxi was surprised by what he said.
"They could be... The people who killed my parents?"
