The Devil who devoured Snow White

Both the women in the room were speechless when they heard his reply. He even took out his wallet!

"Y-you…"

The side of his lips slowly curled up into a smug smirk. "Well?"

Bella Qin took out the handheld fan from her pocket but before she could open it, Lu Mengjie quickly opened her mouth to rescue the man. "Madam, you should see my son!"

She was able to successfully steal her attention when the other woman withdrew her weapon.

"Son…"

"Yes. His name is Han Xiumin. He's sleeping over there."

Strange. They have been talking for quite a while and yet, the baby continued to sleep peacefully as if he didn't care about the people around him. He only cared about his sleep.

Bella Qin stared at Bai Jingye for quite a while. Oh, how she wished she could wipe off the smirk from his lips but… that was not going to happen right at that moment.

"I'll teach you how to properly respect the elderly next time."

"I look forward to your lessons," he said, sarcastically.

He was successfully getting into her nerves but she held back, after all, he was still Lu Mengjie's friend. If it was someone else, she would have cut off their tongues a long time ago.

Bella Qin ignored Bai Jingye and instead, she turned and went to look at the baby that was inside the incubator. The instant she saw the newborn, her heart melted. Such a beautiful child was sleeping inside a glass-like container, looking like a mini Snow White. Oh, how she wished she could carry him in her arms but she didn't want to disturb him in his sleep so she has to hold back her desires again.

"From now on, I'll become Xiao Xiumin's godparent," she proclaimed.

Lu Mengjie chuckled. "I was already planning on making you as his godparent."

Just then another knock was heard which made the trio turn their heads towards the door and there entered Xu Chen. She seemed to be surprised to see her son there. "Jingye, you're here. You should have told me that you were coming."

"I just arrived earlier." He began walking towards Lu Mengjie to start his act as her husband.

His mother ignored Bella Qin since she thought that she was just a nurse.

"I should be taking my leave now. Do excuse me." The woman said politely.

Lu Mengjie could only flash her a small smile and watched her leave. After she did, she greeted her mother-in-law to which she was ignored. She was already used to it so instead of troubling herself to talk with her, she began eating the food that Bella Qin brought earlier instead.

…

After a few days, Lu Mengjie and her son were discharged from the hospital, ever since what happened and after receiving Han Yizhou's 'threat', she has been restricted from leaving the house. Even Bai Jingye couldn't change the old man's mind after he arrived in the country.

"Do a DNA test with the baby," said Bai Keran while looking sternly at his grandson.

"DNA test?" He furrowed his brows together. "Why should I? Are you doubting that the baby is not mine?"

"Yes. I don't trust you," he replied straightforwardly. 

Lu Mengjie who was standing beside Bai Jingye was trying her best to stay calm. If Bai Keran found out that Little Peanut was not his grandson's child then things would get worse for them.

"Fine." Bai Jingye spat, glaring at the old man. "I'll take the DNA test together with my son."

Was he planning on creating a fake result? Lu Mengjie thought. If it was faking a test result, she was confident that Bai Jingye could easily do it. The only problem was… what if Bai Keran would find out about it?

The old man's lips were pressed into a thin line as he scrutinized his grandson's face. Even Lu Mengjie looked so calm about it. Yes, he was assessing them. There was no sign of panic on their faces which only meant that they were confident that the child was theirs. At least that was what he thought.

"Even if Jingye will take the test together with our son, the result will still be the same. It will prove that Xiao Huasheng is our son."

"I don't think there's no need to do that, father." Surprisingly, the words came from Xu Chen.

"I heard that Mengxi has been craving peanuts since she was pregnant of Min'er. Jingye likes eating peanuts, you know that well, father."

Lu Mengjie eyed Bai Jingye. What a coincidence. A good coincidence.

Bai Keran sighed. That was proof but not enough. It was not like his grandson was the only man who liked eating peanuts. Peanuts were one of the best snacks out there, especially in drinking.

"Alright. If that's the case then we won't have to do that." He turned his gaze at Lu Mengjie and continued, "but from now on, you are not allowed to go out."

She frowned deeply at his sudden decision. "But grandpa, that's too much."

"This is for your sake. We don't know when that stalker of yours might appear so we need to take precautions."

"Even if you say so… can't I at least visit my favorite cafe? It's just nearby. I also need a bit of freedom. Besides, as long as I won't bring Xiao Huasheng outside, everything should be fine, right?"

"I will have my men keep an eye on her." Bai Jingye backed her up. "I don't want my wife to be suffocated in this place. I will have to go back and I know that you will have to as well, grandfather."

"Very well. You will be allowed to go out once a week."

"Thrice!" She bargained.

He raised a brow at her. "Thrice?"

"It's my favorite cafe and they have books there. Besides, the ambiance is nice to start writing a book."

"Ah… book?"

She nodded and grinned. "Yup! I'm actually planning to start writing a children's book of my own as a pastime."
