章 18: Amusement Park (EDITED)
While the father and son duo was watching a cartoon, Xia Meilin was looking at her phone.
So it seems that Lu Yifeng's assistant had already released an official statement that she was married to Lu Yifeng for four years. She sneered as she looked at the words '4 years'.
Xia Meilin didn't think of it that much and decided that after this day, she needed to prepare for her first concert in the country. It was actually one of the reasons why she returned. After that, she was planning to go back to London.
"We're here." Lu Yifeng said as he closed his laptop and placed it aside. Although Little Melon has fallen fast asleep when he looked at the boy.
"..." Lu Yifeng and Xia Meilin ended up looking at each other.
"Should I wake him up?" Lu Yifeng asked with a soft and low voice, making sure it was soft enough not to wake Little Melon.
Xia Meilin looked outside through the glass window and saw how sunny it was. She looked at her wristwatch and saw that it was just 3:30 in the afternoon.
"Let him sleep for a bit more." She whispered softly. "The sun is still high."
Lu Yifeng nodded, he gently adjusted Little Melon's position to make him have a comfortable sleeping position.
The car was in the parking lot and it was so quiet inside. Just like earlier, Xia Meilin didn't speak to Lu Yifeng afterward.
It was until Lu Yifeng spoke up in a soft whispering tone. "Thank you for giving birth to Xiao Gua..."
Xia Meilin didn't expect him to say something like that, that's why she turned to him in surprise.
Lu Yifeng's eyes were filled with gentleness. He look so warm, and yet, so sexy. It was different from the cold and sharp gaze he would give others. This made Xia Meilin's heart skip a beat.
"What happened back then... I know that whatever excuse I will say won't be enough for you to forgive me. I have no excuse to say since it was my fault... I can only apologize to you for giving you a horrible experience..." He looked so sincere with the words he said to her. "I am sorry for what happened that night."
Xia Meilin's heart wavered a bit when she heard him apologize. First, he thanked her for giving birth to Little Melon, next he apologized to her? She never expected him to say those words to her since from what she knew, he was a prideful man.
She clenched her fists as she turned away from him, "A sorry cannot change what happened that night. If a simple sorry can fix everything then this world's prison cells will be empty."
Her voice was smooth and soft but her words were sharp like a sword and it stabbed his heart. That night was the greatest mistake he ever did. He didn't know that she was drugged. It wasn't totally his fault and yet he took all the blame since it was still rape even if he was clueless about it.
He knew that it was hard for Xia Meilin's part since he did something that was against her wishes. All her actions, the way she responded that night was actually because of the drug inside her. It may be not serious for him, losing his virginity to her but it was another matter for a woman like her, especially when she lost it with a stranger like him. Would things turn out well for them if things went different that night?
"Just because I married you doesn't mean I have forgiven you. Have you forgotten? You used my family to force me to marry you. I allowed you to be a father to my son but I will never be a wife to you. I'm only here because of my son and my family."
She felt her chest tightening as she spat those cold words to him. Xia Meilin was not willing to give in so easily even when his apology made her heart shake a bit. She stayed firm with her plan, she would definitely bring him down herself.
The car became quiet again. Lu Yifeng knew that whatever words he would say, it won't change Xia Meilin's mind that's why he could only show his sincerity by his actions.
After an hour and a half, Little Melon woke up, he was rubbing his eyes as he sat up. "Momma... are we there yet?"
Xia Meilin looked at her son and wiped his drool away. "Yes, we're here."
The sleepiness Little Melon felt instantly disappeared as he exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go! Let's go!"
Lu Yifeng opened the door and went out of the car, Little Melon and Xia Meilin followed.
The three went and started going to whatever rides Little Melon pointed. The people around them noticed the family of three and because of the current headlines about Lu Yifeng and Xia Meilin, the people around them were able to recognize them quickly, some even started taking some stolen photos of them.
The three looked like they were one happy family especially when they joined Little Melon in the kiddie rides. They never thought that there would be a day where they would be blessed by Lu Yifeng's presence. Xia Meilin was happily smiling as she watched Little Melon while Lu Yifeng was staring at him with a gentle gaze. He should have treated his son better back then...
The three even tried out some shooting booths where Lu Yifeng showed his shooting skills to both Little Melon and Xia Meilin. He ended up winning the large black cat plushie which was bigger than the size of Little Melon.
Lu Yifeng ended up carrying the plushie as he followed the mother and son duo to the Carousel.
After the ride, Xia Meilin noticed the gazes of the people around them which made her worried, "It's a mistake to go out without a disguise..."
"If we did, Xiao Gua wouldn't have enjoyed it. Don't worry, they won't disturb us." Lu Yifeng was sure of it since no one would dare to approach an aloof looking man like him.
"Momma, Dada, can we try that?" Little Melon pointed to a haunted house.
"I don't think that's good for you, Xiao Gua. That place is filled with scary ghosts." Xia Meilin said worriedly.
"Mello is not afraid!" Little Melon said as he puffed out his chest. "Dada is here and Momma too!"
Xia Meilin wasn't worried about that, she was actually the one who was scared of entering such a dark place.
