As Little Melon became quiet, Xia Meilin opened her eyes to see if he had fallen asleep. Although, she was unable able to know since he's facing his back to her.
Little Melon was not sleeping, he was wide awake. He could not stop thinking of having a baby sister.
Xia Meilin turned and looked at Lu Yifeng's 'sleeping' face. As she recalled what happened last night, she decided to try her best not to make things hard for them since both of them were trying to get along with one another. As long as he will not cross the boundaries she has set for both of them, then she would not create any problems for him.
While she continued staring at him, Lu Yifeng finally opened his eyes and stared back at her.
She was surprised when she saw him wake up, she instantly turned away in embarrassment.
A minuscule smile appeared on his lips. He was really glad that he wasn't going to start all over again in earning back her trust. He will make sure that this time, he will not allow his anger to control him anymore.
"I will... prepare breakfast for us." She whispered before she held his hand and removed it from her waist.
He did not stop her. Instead, he quietly watched her get out of bed.
Little Melon had fallen fast asleep while snuggling to his father.
She looked at them and smiled a bit. "Just stay with him for a while... wake him up once it is quarter to six."
"Okay."
She turned away and took her clothes from the cabinet before she went and used the bathroom in her room. After taking a bath, she wore her clothes inside the bathroom before she left.
She walked towards the vanity table and sat on the chair before she took the hairdryer from one of the drawers. She was about to dry her hair when she suddenly noticed Lu Yifeng through the mirror.
He was sitting on the bed and was staring at her. She couldn't help but feel her cheeks burn when she saw him looking at her with his eagle-like eyes.
Lu Yifeng got off the bed and walked towards her. He grabbed the hairdryer from her hand and said, "Let me do it."
She nodded a bit at this, "You already have it, I can't say no now, can I?"
He chuckled lightly. "Mm."
He started drying her hair while brushing it. Her dark brown hair was soft and smooth like fine silk. He could smell the faint smell of vanilla from it.
"The shampoo you use, is it a vanilla scented shampoo?" He asked as he looked at her through the mirror.
Her eyes were closed and she was enjoying the feeling of having her hair dry by him. "Yes. I love the scent of vanilla that's why most of the products I choose to buy has this scent."
"How long have you been using those?"
"Since high school." She smiled. She opened her eyes and looked at him from the mirror. "Do you want to try using these products?"
He raised an eyebrow and smiled at her with an amused look in his eyes, "I don't think that scent would suit me."
She giggled softly, "Yeah, it's too girly for you."
After drying her hair, he placed the dryer on the table.
"Thank you."
"Mm." He went back to the bed and sat beside Little Melon's sleeping figure. He started stroking his hair.
Xia Meilin applied two sprays of her perfume on her pulse points before she stood up. "I'll send the maid to call the two of you once it's time for breakfast."
"Okay."
She left the room and went to the kitchen to start preparing their breakfast.
Xia Meilin could only make simple dishes. Her specialty was baking desserts, not cooking, that's why she had to ask for assistance from the chef.
"You really should leave everything to me, Madam." The chef was an elderly man. His white hair was long and was tied into a low ponytail.
Chen Xian had been working for the Lu family for almost half of his age. He was transferred to Beijing to assist his master at this residence by preparing healthy meals for him and his family. He was the oldest servant inside the villa.
"Just allow me this one time, grandpa Xian." Xia Meilin smiled.
Chen Xian sighed. She was his boss so he couldn't really say no to her, right? That's why he decided to assist her cook.
By the time they were done preparing food for everyone, Lu Yifeng came down the stairs with Little Melon in his arms.
Little Melon was already dressed up and his hair was neatly combed. Lu Yifeng was carrying his bag on his shoulder before he gave it to the maid.
Xia Meilin couldn't help but wonder as she looked at them. She was supposed to be the one who would help Little Melon in preparing for school but from the looks of it, Lu Yifeng already did that for her.
Lu Yifeng placed his son down on the chair that had a pillow on it before he sat at his usual seat.
