The Devil who devoured Snow White

Favorite? Lust did say that she was like the mother of the group. No wonder she felt a sense of familiarity from that woman. 

After the call ended, she kept her phone and placed her hand on top of her baby bump. At the reminder that Han Yizhou was infertile, she couldn't help but think of the possibility that someone else could be the father. She felt a pang in her chest when she had that thought.

"Yizhou… what if-"

"Let's not think of that, Mengjie," he interrupted. He could already see what she was trying to say. He stretched out his harm to place his hand on top of hers. "Mine or not, I don't care. This child will always be mine."

She felt a tingling warmth replacing the ache inside her. Those words were all she needed to hear. There was no point in distressing about whatever happened to her when she was kidnapped. She rather not remember any of it. She was satisfied with having Han Yizhou with her.

He ran his hair through his raven hair to fix them. This time, he was going to have this date with her with no disguise that was why he took them off earlier after they dropped Bai Jingye and his mother. "Shall we continue with our date?" He asked with a kind smile on his lips.

She looked at him in awe. She could never get tired of seeing his gorgeous billion-dollar face. She smiled back at him and nodded. "I can't wait to see the cherry blossoms."

…

The cherry blossom trees were seen, lining up at the side of the pathway that was leading to the Haradani-en garden. It is a private garden with 24 different sakura varieties. The place was also filled with other spring flowers like azaleas, apples, and rhododendron which creates the magnificent view with cherry blossoms. Whenever a soft gust of air blew, the pink petals fell like confetti, gently landing on the ground, creating a pink flowery path for them. It was such a magical sight to behold. There were couples like them seen in the place, aside from that, there were also tourists seen, admiring the beautiful, peaceful place.

Lu Mengjie and Han Yizhou were walking hand in hand while they were admiring the view. From time to time, the pregnant woman would capture some moments with her phone's camera. There were times when she would force her lover to take a selfie with her. There were times when Han Yizhou, himself, would capture a photo of her whenever she posed under a tree or beside some spring flowers.

Her smile was the loveliest, prettier than the flowers around them. Her raven black hair that was tied into a ponytail with an eye-catch red ribbon contrasted against the soft colors around them. Whenever she smiled for the camera, her smile would always reach her eyes, his heart raced when he witnessed such a moment.

'This is a mistake. You're making a huge mistake.' It was a voice in his head.

He knew who it belonged to. It may feel like his subconscious was talking to him but no, it was his other identity, Yong Liwei.

'You have to stop this.'

Han Yizhou smiled inwardly. If he was making a mistake then it must be the most beautiful mistake he has ever had. Nothing could compare to it.

"Yizhou! Over there, there's a stall!" Lu Mengjie began dragging him to a food stall that was created for visitors. They were just simple Japanese snacks to eat while the guests in the place were taking a rest after walking around the place.

"I want some Dango!" She looked at him with a wide grin the moment they got in the short line.

A helpless smile appeared on the man's lip. "Dango it is."

When it was their turn to buy, he began speaking in Japanese, ordering food in that language.

After getting the food they ordered, they went to an empty bench and sat there. They began eating their food but as they did, Lu Mengjie ended up looking at the food he ordered and asked curiously, "what's that?"

"Dorayaki."

"Dorayaki?" She tilted her head in confusion.

Upon seeing her adorable reaction, he chuckled lightly. "It is a Japanese sweet pancake. You can choose whatever flavor you want to put inside."

"What's inside yours then?"

"Peanut butter."

At the mention of the flavor, Lu Mengjie's eyes sparkled in delight. She offered the container of Dango to him. "Let's exchange!"

"..." He ended up looking at her in disbelief. There was only a piece of Dango left on the container while the pancake he was holding was barely half-eaten, he was, after all, a slow eater.

Lu Mengjie didn't wait for his answer. Instead, she brazenly took the food he was holding and began eating it like a chipmunk. Aside from that, she never handed the last dango to him. 

Han Yizhou was in a daze. He watched the woman beside him consume the food.

"I want another one! Dakoyaki!"

He sighed heavily and instead of complaining, he corrected, "it's Dorayaki."

"Peanut butter flavor please!" She flashed him a wide grin.

He looked helplessly at her. He reached out to wipe the side of her lips with his thumb. When Lu Mengjie licked the thumb he used after, she ended up blushing. The man looked so sexy… so yummy.

Han Yizhou noticed the way she looked at him, a sly smirk creeping its way on his lips. "What?"

"I'd like to see you covered in peanut butter," she replied, rather honestly.

"..." The smirk on his lips disappeared as soon as he heard her words. 

This girl… was seriously unpredictable.

"Covering my body with peanut butter is troublesome."

She pouted in disappointment. "Ah… that's true… we might end up making a mess on our bed."

"Then we can just discard it and buy a new one after."

She turned to him, looking as if she was considering his suggestion. "Well… it's your money we're spending, not mine to begin with."

He laughed lightly. She was not a bashful girl, instead, he could clearly see that she was slowly reverting who she really was.
