My Evil Cinderella: Taming a Villainous Wife Chapter 107 - I cannot unlove you

No matter how bone-chilling her smile was, Lu Mello reached out and patted her head, he was doing it as if he was petting a cat.

The evilness of his wife was showing up again so he has to contain it by giving her head pats. The air around them became lighter and Shi Enxi's devilish smile disappeared. She was looking at him like an innocent kitten, wondering why he was patting her head.

Although he couldn't help but wonder who the unlucky person was... To be able to get into his wife's danger zone, he must be tired of his life, right?

He sat beside her. As if speaking to a child, he asked, "Tell me, who are you planning to bully?"

"I'm not going to bully anyone." She pouted, leaning and hugging him from the side.

"I'm going to ruin someone's life!"

"..." Uh... Aren't they the same thing?

"I just realized that... The people that are after Weichun and Gege are actually targeting me. Their backer must be Shi Anhao or one of their daughters!"

He blinked a few times, "How can you say that?"

"They're trying to frame me and ruin my life! If they killed Weichun, you will surely start hating me. If they killed my brother, the company will be given to me and then they will surely do something to make it look like I killed my brother just to get the company! Did they think that I will not realize all of these? They are a bunch of idiots! Fucking ugly shitheads! Those old farts are going to get it!"

He stroked her head, trying to calm her down. "Calm down, Xi'er. If you stressed yourself this much, it will be bad for our baby."

She puffed out her cheeks and obediently became quiet beside him. 

Lu Mello had already thought about the same possibility so he wasn't surprised when Shi Enxi said her thoughts. If it was really Shi Anhao or her daughters, then catching them in action will be hard.

 "If you have come up with a plan against them, you have to tell me, okay?"

She turned to him and replied, "I'm planning to kidnap them and feed them to the sharks. We can also feed them to Timmy but I'm afraid that Timmy might have an upset stomach so I guess sharks will do."

No matter how he thought of it, Shi Enxi can't be serious of it, right?

"I'm really itching to beat them up."

"Me too." He nodded in agreement. After all, who wouldn't want to do it after they tried to kill his sister?

He held her hand and kissed the back of it. "I will be going tomorrow to see my sister, do you want to come?"

"Should we set a trap for that group of killers?" Shi Enxi smirked.

He chuckled a bit, "A trap? As long as it won't endanger you, then sure. I'll work with you. Tell me all about it first thing in the morning, for now, you have to rest."

She nodded obediently and went to lie down, "You should go to sleep too."

When she woke up earlier and found him gone, she thought that he might be in his study room, busy working.

She snuggled close to him the moment he lied down beside her.

As she was reminded of her nightmare, she somehow felt a bit scared of falling asleep again. What if she dreamed of it again?

"Go to sleep, Xi'er."

Instead of closing her eyes, she turned her gaze to him. "Mello... What do you think of me?"

"Huh?"

"How did you fall for someone like me?"

His lips curled up into a smile, "I wonder... How did I fall for you? I think that's one of the biggest mysteries in my life."

"Mello, I'm being serious right now." 

"Let's see... I have always thought that you were an angel when I fell in love with you." They were already married in the past when he began falling in love with her.

During that time, her 'caring and sweet' nature made him fall for her. She was a 'loving wife' who was always there for him.

Even if Shi Enxi was the reason why his relationship with Fan Xiao Yao was broken back then, he didn't blame Shi Enxi for it. He has always thought that he was also at fault.

Maybe his kindness was also to be blamed. He should hate Shi Enxi but he didn't. 

After she gave birth, they became closer to each other. Taking care of the baby brought them closer. That was when his feelings started growing for her.

"But who would have thought that you are actually a devil in disguise?" He chuckled lightly. "It was already too late for me. I cannot unlove you."

Shi Enxi lowered her head. Why was it a certain scene in her dream was appearing in her mind after hearing what Lu Mello said?

She tricked him into taking care of someone else's child, she even acted like a good wife to him just to get close with him.

She never once thought that she would end up falling for Lu Mello instead. He was a caring husband in her dream.

The moment Lu Mello fell in love with her, he started showering her with love and because of that, the happiness she never thought of having was given to her by him.

"Knowing you better made me fall deeper for you so I guess, there's really no turning back now." He smiled, resting his chin on top of her head.

She was quiet for a while, her face was buried on his chest.

Lu Mello thought that she must have fallen asleep already until she spoke up again.

"If I was a cruel and ruthless liar, will you still love me?"

Huh?

He turned to her, he couldn't see her face since it was buried on his chest.

"I am not a good woman..."

"So?" He smiled, hugging her close. "Do you have to be a good woman for me to love you?"

She pursed her lips right. She finally looked at him, the pain in her eyes was seen. "I... I think that you deserve someone better."

"Whether I deserve someone better or not is my choice. You're the perfect woman for me so I can't ask for more." His gentle gaze caressed the pain that was on her chest. 

"You're so good with flattery!"

He chuckled lightly, "If I can't convey my feelings with words, do I need to show it to you?"

Shi Enxi felt him stroke her waist. She gave his hand a slap before she glared at him. "I'm pregnant."

"That doesn't mean we can't do it, right?"

She turned and faced her back on him, "I'm not in the mood."

He leaned and kissed the crook of her neck. "Come on, sweetheart. It's been so long."

The light kisses he was making on her neck was giving her goosebumps. She tried to push his head away from her neck. "Mello, stop it!"

"If you want me to stop, go to sleep."

"How can I fall asleep if you're disturbing me?!"

He smirked mischievously, "Ah... That's too bad then, I guess I have no choice but to continue. Besides, didn't you tell me earlier that I should love and pamper you more?"

"This is not what I mean! Mello!!!"
