The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 162 - I've Come To Pick My Wife



Entering the mainland, the moment Lu Mengjie and Xia Liqin entered the airport, a group of reporters began heading their way.

Xia Liqin has already planned things out together with his sister. The reason why the media was aiming at them was not just because of his popularity but also because he has ordered his assistant to reveal Lu Mengjie's identity as the new CEO of the famous lipstick brand 'Poisoned Apple'. It may only be by name since the real person taking care of the company was her brother but it was all to gain the attention of the media. Just like what she told Bai Jingye, she was going to go back as Lu Mengjie. Using the media was just her way of announcing that she was back with her memories.

With the bodyguards blocking the group of reporters inquiring about the company and her identity as the new CEO of the famous brand as they exited the airport, the two noticed a familiar man, standing beside the black Maybach car which seemed to be waiting for them. The man was known to be Han Yizhou's assistant, Niu Jiachen.

When he saw the siblings, he opened the car's door.

Lu Mengjie stopped in her tracks as she saw the man she yearned to see come out of the car.

The intensity of the man's gaze was searing. He was wearing one of his tailored, black suits. Even through the layers of clothing, his biceps were like stones. She sucked in a sharp breath when she saw him begin walking towards them.

"Shit. What's he doing here?" She heard her overprotective brother mumble beside her.

On the other hand, she had a different question playing in her mind. Didn't he get into an accident? His assistant told her about it four days ago. He should be resting instead of greeting her arrival with his overwhelming charisma.

The man stopped in front of her. The media around them had confused looks on their faces when they saw the overly handsome man's appearance. They all knew who he was. Recently, his face was known on Weibo because of the recent news about him saving someone. 

"Hello again." The vibration of his voice was making her ache all over. 

Lu Mengjie wanted to jump into his arms. Hug him right there and then but she held back. She tried her best to. She could only clench her fists on the side, digging her nails on her palms. It was then that she noticed a different glint in his eyes. The way he brought himself, the air surrounding him.

"Yong Liwei," she said as if saying his name with another intention. That's right, the man before her was the man she hated.

"Always a pleasure running into you, Lu Mengjie." A sweet, sarcastic smile was plastered on his face.

The women who saw his godly face, smiling that way, couldn't help but blush. It sure was a panty-dropping smile.

"Mr. Yong, are you acquainted with Ms. Lu?" One of the male reporters asked. Depending on his answer, any of his words could definitely make it to the headlines so the reporter was smart enough to take the opportunity.

As if not hearing the other man's question, Yong Liwei's attention was solely on her. His hard body was scorching that striking impression of powerful demand.

It was a good thing that as usual, the man was wearing his black leather gloves to hide their wedding ring. Lu Mengjie was not planning on revealing her real relationship with him yet so she opened her mouth and replied, "we're good friends."

Yong Liwei ended up raising his brow when he heard her words, he was looking as if it was an answer that he was not expecting.

Xia Liqin eyed her sister, his face brightened up when she heard her answer. He decided to cover up her relationship with the other man by distracting the people around them when he addressed, "Uncle Yong, it's so nice to see you. Are you here to pick us up?"

Yong Liwei cast his sharp gaze on his nephew before landing them back on the woman beside him. "I've come to pick my wife."

A crease ended up forming in between Lu Mengjie's brows. And here she thought that he would play along with her, knowing that he didn't like her but who would have thought that he would do the opposite thing? Was it to infatuate her? This guy… he sure knew how to get to her nerves!

Even her brother's face became pale when he heard his brother-in-law's words. He shouldn't have sneered at him!

"Wife? What do you mean wife, Mr. Yong? Where is she?" 

It was news for the media that all their attention was stolen by the domineering man. This was a rare chance to know more about Yong Liwei's private life. He was known to be a bachelor but revealing that he has a wife? The reporters were in it for more!

"Mrs. Yong, shall we get going?" He reached out his hand to Lu Mengjie with a subtle, devilish smile displayed on his other-worldly beauty.

The news was an uproar to the reporters. Yong Liwei with one of the Lu family princesses?! It was definitely going to be a hot topic!

Lu Mengjie's cheeks flushed red and her heart somehow raced at the way he called her. Damn that face! Why did he have to use Han Yizhou's charms against her? She didn't have a choice now that her relationship with him was exposed. She ended up taking his hand.

As the media began bombarding them with questions, Yong Liwei protected his wife and led her to the car.

Xia Liqin followed the couple from behind and was about to get in the car but he was stopped by none other than his brother-in-law. 

"I believe that's your ride." Yong Liwei said as he turned his gaze to a grey Rolls-Royce.

"I'm going with my sister." He didn't want to leave her alone with this woman-eating devil!

Yong Liwei only flashed him a smirk before he went inside the car but just before Xia Liqin could come in, the other man pulled the door close.

Niu Jiachen bowed once to Lu Mengjie's brother before he entered and sat at the passenger seat.

"H-Hey!" Xia Liqin wanted to complain. He wanted to bang on the car's window but with eyes looking at them, he couldn't do it. In the end, he had to watch his sister leave with another man.
