The Devil's Sleeping Beauty Chapter 71 This is my husband, Lu Yifeng

She stared at him for a while. She loves him, she really does, but... "I'm sorry, Ning-ge. I just want to let you know my feelings for you for the last time... because this is where I will end it."

Xia Meilin held his hand and put it away. "Even if I love you, I still love my family more. I will not run away with you. I will not divorce my husband because of my feelings for you."

Feng Ning felt the heavens falling on his shoulders when he heard her words. "W-What are you saying? Didn't you say that you love me? You're lying right now. Stop lying to me, Meilin!"

Even if her eyes were blurry, she wiped her own tears away and looked at him straight in his eyes. "Am I?"

Her nose never twitched and because of this, Feng Ning was able to tell that she was really saying the truth.

"I love you... but I want to end this feeling because it's wrong... It is wrong to love another man when I already have a man waiting for me at home. I am admitting my feelings for you since I want to let you know that I have loved you once. I am letting this feeling go now. I am married, Ning-ge. I know that it will be hard for us to stop our feelings for each other but let's do this. My family is more important than you. I love them more than you, so I can't be with you."

Xia Meilin already decided this last night. She knows that she already started opening up to Lu Yifeng, if not, why would she allow him to kiss her? She knows that Lu Yifeng has feelings for her and by allowing him to kiss her, she was giving him hope. Xia Meilin already told Lu Yifeng the other night that, she will not close her heart to him. She will give him a chance... but if Feng Ning was here, how can she give him a chance? She needs to give her feelings some closure.

The man she married to is to Lu Yifeng. She wants Little Melon to have one happy family and because of her son, she was willing to give him this. Xia Meilin was willing to make his dream come true. She will do anything for her son... that's why she has given Lu Yifeng a chance.

Her words were always straight to the point whenever she tries to explain things. She still knows how to differentiate the right from wrong. Because of this, her words were always like a sword for others. "I hope that you will respect my decision. It's better if... we don't meet each other. I don't want my husband to misunderstand. Since I am now a married woman, I can only grow feelings for my husband."

If this happened a few weeks ago where Xia Meilin was still hating Lu Yifeng so much, she would definitely take up Feng Ning's offer and leave everything for him... but after learning more about Lu Yifeng, she found out he was actually a good guy who treated her well, so how can she repay him by leaving him? How can she repay him by faking the words she told him?

Feng Ning wanted to say something but the words he was about to say were stopped when he realized that a tall man was standing behind Xia Meilin. The man was wearing black business attire and he was glaring coldly at him.

Lu Yifeng's majestic presence was something that sent s.h.i.+vers to everyone's spines, making them break into a cold sweat.

"Meilin."

Hearing the cold and deep voice, Xia Meilin instantly turned her head to him. What was he doing here?!

She hurriedly stood up. With Lu Yifeng's presence, it made her feel guilty. She still went to see Feng Ning without telling him...

She went to his side and held his arm. Xia Meilin didn't want Lu Yifeng to misunderstand things so she casually turned to Feng Ning. "This is my husband, Lu Yifeng."

Who wouldn't know this name? Every businessman in the country, even in some parts of the world knows the name 'Lu Yifeng'! Although his face was rarely seen in social media, because Lu Xian Yu was famous, everyone was given an idea of how Lu Yifeng may look.

"Yifeng, this is my childhood friend, Feng Ning." She introduced them to each other.

Who would have thought that the mighty Lu Yifeng was Xia Meilin's husband! Can he go against him? No way! If he does, he's only wis.h.i.+ng for his death!

Although Lu Yifeng was burning in fury, it subsided when Xia Meilin introduced him as her husband. This was one way of letting them know their positions in her life.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Mr. Feng." With the iciness in his voice, Xia Meilin knows that Lu Yifeng was still mad.

With this said the food they ordered just arrive in time.

"Do... do you want to join us, Mr. Lu?" Feng Ning tried his best to give out a calm smile.

"Yes, you should join us." Xia Meilin pulled Lu Yifeng and allowed him to sit beside her.

Under the table, Xia Meilin placed her hand on top of his, as if trying to calm him down.

Lu Yifeng was touched by this. He actually heard the last words she said, that's why he didn't go all out and punch Feng Ning.

She doesn't want him to misunderstand... She can only grow feelings for him. These words were something that warmed his heart. With this, Lu Yifeng ignored Feng Ning's presence, as if he was not there in the first place.

It was quiet as they started eating. Lu Yifeng was placing some food on Xia Meilin's plate while Xia Meilin accepted it. She was eating quietly.

One wrong move, Xia Meilin was afraid that Lu Yifeng will explode and try to hit Feng Ning so she decided to behave.

Feng Ning couldn't tolerate the sweet actions of the couple in front of him. His heart was being torn to pieces when he saw them like this.

With this, he took out his phone, acting like he received a message. He pressed a few keys before he kept his phone and looked at them. "I need to go. My a.s.sistant needs my help with something."

"Oh, okay. Take care on your way back, Ning-gege." Xia Meilin didn't stop him. She doesn't want him to stay longer as well since her heart was being wrung in pain when she saw the look in his eyes. She can't bear to see the hurt in the eyes of the man she loves... but she already made up her mind.

She has to let him go. This was her purpose. She wanted to end things with him after they have their lunch but who would have thought that things will happen earlier.
