The Devil who devoured Snow White

Twenty minutes ago…

Lu Mengjie picked up her fork and knife but before they could even land on the steak she ordered, Yong Liwei stole her plate and began slicing the meat for her instead.

"I can do it myself, you know," she pouted.

"I know," he replied with a small chuckle. After successfully slicing the steak, he gave the plate back to her. 

"Thank you."

"By the way, do you know the woman who has been following us since earlier?" Yong Liwei asked, glancing at her.

She blinked a few times in confusion and asked, "what woman?"

"Three o'clock. The red-haired who only ordered a strawberry shake."

Lu Mengjie could easily pick the woman he was talking about since her flaming red hair was noticeable enough. Aside from being noticeable, she felt like she had already seen her somewhere lately. She just couldn't put a finger on where and when.

"I'm not sure…"

"I don't think she's leaving anytime soon so eat up. Don't make it too obvious that we have already discovered her," he instructed.

She quickly turned away and landed her eyes on her food instead. As she began eating, after chewing and gulping down a piece, she asked, "since when have you noticed her?"

"Since we left the hospital. At first, I thought that I must have made a mistake but… it doesn't look like that," he replied before he jabbed the meat with his fork and then brought it to his mouth, eating it.

Lu Mengjie took a quick glance at the red-haired woman before she continued, "she's talking with someone else."

"Who do you think it is?"

"Bai Keran… or maybe someone else?" But she really thought that she had already seen that girl somewhere else. 

Just then, she recalled the face of the boy she met in the chocolate factory. If she remembered correctly, he addressed himself as Lust.

She lowered her fork and knife, her eyes glint in realization. "Wait here."

"Mengjie, she could be someone dangerous," Yong Liwei warned, trying to stop her.

"I don't think so. He… she looks like she knows me." She stood up and began walking towards the woman who has been stalking them. To her surprise, the girl was so distracted by the person on her phone that she wasn't able to realize her presence up to the point where she was sitting down in front of her.

"How about her father?" She heard the woman asking whoever she was talking with on her phone.

Her father? Lu Mengjie blinked a few times in confusion. Could this woman be connected to her real father?

Chun Hua a.k.a Lust, chuckled lightly as she asked, "he's that scary?"

Scary… She did remember Bai Jingye telling her that her father, Lu Xian Yu was a person who should never be offended.

A small smile appeared on Lust's lips as she gently said, "you must be relieved that your student is still alive, right?"

Student? Then what she speculated was correct. Whoever the girl was talking with was someone she knew.

The other woman was about to open her mouth when she suddenly felt someone staring at her. 

Lu Mengjie watched as she slowly lifted her head only to look at her in surprise. She was obviously startled to suddenly see her sitting in front of her.

"S-sister Bai Xue…"

Ah… so once again, she was right. This girl was the same boy that she has met in the chocolate factory. No wonder the boy looked a bit feminine. His real gender was a girl. Now then, who was she talking with?

While Lust was in a daze, she picked up the phone just to see the other person who was talking with all this time.

The moment she saw him, a certain memory flashed in front of her. It was a memory of her childhood, asking a teacher about what he was watching then excusing herself. The memory didn't stop there. Another scene entered her mind. It was a familiar hall with the man she once saw through her memories. The man, who was sitting on a throne-like chair. Han Xukun's father.

"How about it, Little Miss? I will spare your family, I will even give you my protection, in return, you have to marry my son in the future," the man tried to convince the little girl, Mengmeng.

"Han Qinshan, my decision is final." Lu Xian Yu took a step forward. His murderous glare shot towards the man sitting at the end of the hall. "I will not give my daughter to your son."

"The decision is not for you to make." He turned to Mengmeng. "What can you say about this, little miss?"

Since Mengmeng was young, he was trying to trick her innocent mind into it.

Mengmeng looked at Han Xukun and frowned. "Except for daddy and Qinqing and teacher Qiang Wei, other boys are a headache!"

Han Qinshan raised a brow in amusement. "Oh? Are they now?"

Mengmeng nodded a few times and continued, "even if he's a prince, I don't want him. I will only marry teacher Qiang Wei!"

Qiang Wei: "..."

Lu Xian Yu turned to Qiang Wei with a murderous look on his face. "I didn't know that you were busy seducing my daughter, Qiang Wei."

Qiang Wei gulped nervously. He adjusted his glasses and tried to speak in his defense, "T-there must be a misunderstanding…"

Han Qinshan's gaze landed on Qiang Wei. "Oho? You're 'teacher Qiang Wei'? Aren't you one of the famous Twelve Stars? If I am correct, you must be Jade Star, right?"

"Y-yes… that's me."

Qiang Wei looked like he wanted to dig a hole and hide. He didn't sign up for this at all. He didn't have an enmity with the young miss so why was she so cruel to do something like this?

"I will deal with you later," said Lu Xian Yu, coldly.

"Teacher Qiang Wei is smart and quiet." Mengmeng continued, crossing her arms. "Mengmeng likes smart and quiet!"

"My son is smart and quiet as well, he's even better looking than that man. That man is too old for you, little miss. Besides, don't you want to be a princess?"

"Mengmeng likes old men so it's fine!"

Both her father and everyone looked at her in disbelief. Soon, they turned their gaze to the man she was pertaining to, Qiang Wei.

"I-I'm not a pedophile!" 

The little girl blinked a few times, tilting her head to the side in confusion as she asked, "what's a pedophile?"

Before anyone could even answer her, her teacher quickly replied, "it means that I'm not interested in young girls like you!"

Instead of being hurt, a wide grin spread on her lips, and retorted, "that's fine! Mengmeng is still growing! Mengmeng will become grown-up too!"

Everyone: "..."

The child turned her gaze back at Han Qinshan and said, thankfully changing the topic and stealing their attention once again, "if the prince can change and have good manners, then it's fine."

"Mengjie." Lu Xian Yu turned to his daughter with a serious look on his face.

"Daddy, it's okay, don't worry."

"See? That wasn't hard. Mr. Lu, I will spare your daughter and your family." Han Qinshan turned to a servant and ordered, "give them the card and announce it to everyone."

Han Xukun was quietly staring at Mengmeng, thinking that she was smart. She didn't give his father a definite answer. If in the future she decided that he didn't change, she could just reject him.

"Sister Bai Xue, do you remember brother Sloth? Your teacher?"

Lust's voice snapped Lu Mengjie from recalling her memories.

"Teacher Wei…" She mumbled.
