The Devil who devoured Snow White

"That's why I told you to let her be. Our daughter is not a child anymore. She can handle herself," a woman's voice was heard.

Lu Mengjie turned her head and grinned upon seeing the bispectacled woman.

Li Bingbing's hair was short, and yet, curly. She was beautiful, with a small oval-shaped face and big eyes that has both mischief and yet, intellegence seen in them. She didn't look like her age at all but she looked more matured than those from her photos of her youth.

She stood up and went to her mother's side, clinging to her arm before she looked at her father. "Dad, you should listen to mom." She flipped off her hair from her shoulder and grinned at him. "I am no longer a child you know. I'm a young adult."

"You will always be a kid in my eyes, Mengmeng," he sighed heavily. He took out his phone from his pocket and tapped on the screen. "I should give Shi Enxi a call just to make sure."

"You won't get anything from Xiao Xi even if you give her a call," Li Bingbing said to her husband before she looked at her daughter and patted her head. She was about to say something when she suddenly noticed a small mark on her daughter's shoulder. She narrowed her eyes and muttered just enough for the girl to hear, "you have to give me the details later."

Lu Mengjie blinked her eyes in confusion, wondering what her mother was suddenly talking about.

The woman reached out just to fix her daughter's hair, covering her shoulder again before the man on the sofa could even notice.

"Eh? Details for what?" Lu Mengjie asked, puzzled at her mother's words. What was she talking about?

Li Bingbing leaned close to her ear and whispered, "that mosquito bite on your shoulder."

"Ah shit…" she mumbled under her breath, a small blush appearing on her cheeks. So that's why her mother fixed her hair and rested it on her shoulder! The marks that the man she slept with left on her body were in places that could be hidden by her clothes so she was not worried but who would have thought that Yong Liwei would be so sneaky. She remembered him placing a kiss on her shoulder and it stayed there for a while. Who would have thought that he would actually mark her in such an obvious place?

She should have double-checked! What if her father saw it? She would be a dead meat for sure! It was a good thing that luck was on her side when she was sitting at her father's side earlier. He was not able to see the hickey thanks to her long hair that covered her shoulder. She was sure that her father would surely hunt the man, not caring on who he was. It was going to be dangerous for the both of them!

"Since you have violated your curfew time, you are grounded until the end of this week." Her father's voice was heard, bringing her back to reality from her thoughts.

She looked at her father and pouted. "Eh? Why? I was only with Xixi-jiejie!"

"It's impossible to learn if you are lying or not through her so this is the best decision I have come up to. You should be grateful that you're only grounded for five days."

"..." Her lips were stretched into a thin line. She was hoping to meet Yong Liwei again the next day, maybe he was still staying at that hotel or maybe she could meet him at the bar again but now that she was grounded, it seemed like she had to delay whatever plans she had in mind.

"Did you have your lunch yet?" Her father asked, bringing back his eyes on her.

"Yeah, I have already eaten."

"Oh I bet you had your fill," her mother said with a teasing smirk as she looked at her with a meaningful gaze.

Lu Mengjie's face instantly became red. "I-I'm going to my room!" She rushed out just to escape her mother. She knew that if she stayed any longer, her mother would have surely continued with her teases and that would end up making her father notice that she was up to something. She was not going to take that chance.
