The Devil's Sleeping Beauty Chapter 237 - Free Spirit

Chapter 237 - Free Spirit

Of course, it was not going to be easy for Lu Mello to calm down but Lu Xingyan wasn't going to give him more information if he was going to act that way.
In the end, Lu Mello was forced to behave.
"Since I'm worried about Xiao Chun, I've been planning to stay and study in the same school she'll choose instead of going to another school." Lu Xingyan said, looking at her brother. She was willing to sacrifice her desires just for her sister. Besides, once she was sure that Fan Jingli is someone she can trust, she can just study in a different school in college. They were going to graduate soon so spending another year with her sister was fine with her.
"If you try to keep them away, Xiao Chun will only rebel more you know." Lu Xingyan sighed. It will be harder for them to keep her in control if that happens. Who knows what she'll do? She might leave home just because of that Fan Jingli guy!
Lu Mello lowered his head and thought about it. His sister was right but even if she's right, he was still worried about Lu Weichun. "Xiao Xing..."
"Gege, we are not kids anymore. We know how to differentiate what's wrong from what's right. The only problem with Xiao Chun is that... She's easily blended with 'love' but I know for sure that her feelings are genuine and because it's genuine, she's willing to fight for it. I really hope that her boyfriend is a good guy. Right now, I suggest that we should let her relationship continue." She was only doing that for her sister. She knew that only experience will be the best teacher for Lu Weichun.
"What kind of man is he?" He looked at her, clenching his fists tight because of the thought of giving his sister to another man.
"I don't know... I have never met him yet. But... I will keep my watch on them. You don't have to worry about anything, gege. I will make sure to help Xiao Chun and guide her in her relationship."
Lu Xingyan may be the younger twin but her mind was more mature than girls her age.
Lu Mello couldn't really do anything about it when his sister put it that way. Even he knows how it is to be in love. He has been courting Fan Xiao Yao for years and yet, she wasn't giving him any answer yet. He was fine with it since they both were busy with their studies. They already have less time for each other and if they began dating, it will only turn into a long-distance relationship since they were studying in different cities.
"You know, children, you should lower your voices. You don't want your father to hear this discussion, right?"
Lu Mello and Lu Xingyan turned their heads towards the door and there they saw Xia Meilin standing.
"M-mom..."
"Mom..."
Both the children looked at her with surprised and nervous looks in their eyes.
Lu Mello gulped nervously, "S-since when are you standing there?"
"Since the part where you asked Xing'er 'what kind of man is he?'" Xia Meilin closed the door behind her. "You should be careful. It's a good thing that I was the only one who heard it."
"Please don't tell dad." Lu Xingyan said anxiously.
"Don't worry dear, I can also keep a secret from your father." She chuckled. "Now then, I heard that our Chun'er is dating someone."
Lu Xingyan pursed her lips. There was no use pretending. If it was their mother, then she was sure that she will definitely take their side as long as they will not be doing anything wrong. Besides, the more people on her side, the better. Their mother is basically her biggest ally if ever their dad found out.
"His name is Fan Jingli." Lu Xingyan began telling them about what she knew about him. "I have yet to meet him so I can't tell much except what I heard from Xiao Chun."
Xia Meilin chuckled lightly, "Ah, our Chun'er is dating huh? She's really growing up fast."
She has already expected that base from her daughter's personality. Lu Weichun is a girl with a free spirit, even Lu Yifeng can't stop her from soaring to the place where she wanted to go.
"I think we should just allow Chun'er to do what she wants. Everyone is free to love and Chun'er is doing that. There's nothing wrong with that." Their mother said as she approached them.
"But mom... What if that guy is not serious with her?" Lu Mello frowned. He knew the cruel reality when it comes to other people. A person's greed can be scary.
"Loving and hurting are part of a relationship. No relationship is perfect. We don't know if the person we will be dating will be fated for us or not. Only time can tell. I once loved another guy you know. Your father isn't my first love you know."
Lu Mello blinked in confusion, "Eh? Dad is not your first love."
"No, he's not. In fact... Back then, I didn't marry him out of love." She turned her head towards the balcony as she recalled the time where she was still loving Feng Ning. "I was loving another man but I sacrificed it because I married your father."
Lu Mello and Lu Xingyan didn't know that so it was a shocking revelation for them.
She turned her gaze back to her children and smiled, "Can you actually believe it? I once hated your father but look at me now, I'm hopelessly in love with him."
"Why did you hate father back then, mom?" Lu Xingyan curiously asked.
"Why?" Xia Meilin reached out and held her hand. She gently stroked her daughter's hand with her thumb. "Your father and I had a huge misunderstanding, dear. I also once saw him as an overbearing iceberg and a jerk who forced his way into stuff when things don't go his way. I saw him as a sc.u.mbag, a vile creature who should be locked behind bars. I once hated him to the bones."
