The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 253
Advertisement
Lu Mengjie tried to call Tian Ruyi a few more times and when she realized that it was not going to be answered, she messaged Bai Zichen again.
[She's not answering my calls. Can you go back and check on her?]
[Bai Zichen: I'm currently in the airport with my mother.]
She knew that Bai Zichen was only prioritizing his mother at that moment but she couldn't help but get frustrated. She messaged her mother that her friends could still be in Bai Keran's place. She didn't want them to be caught up in the fight that might happen later.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Mengjie was startled by the deep voice, she turned to the man by the door. Yong Liwei had an electric wheelchair so it wouldn't be hard for him to go around.
Since she didn't close the door of the bathroom, it surprised her when she saw him outside. The man's eyes landed on the pumps that were attached to the bra around her chest.
Her face flushed when she caught him looking at her chest. She decided to ignore his gaze and instead told him about what happened.
"They could be in danger…"
"You have already informed your parents, right?" As he asked that question, his eyes were still watching the two bottles filled with her milk.
"Yes, I have." Her brow twitched as he continued to stare, it only made her more conscious. "Also, I believe my face should be above my chest, mister."
"Do you need help?" He asked instead before finally moving his gaze up to her face.
"No, thanks. I'm almost done." She huffed. "Were you even listening to me right now?"
He nodded a bit. "Hn. I'm sure that your parents will be able to help them. They look reliable enough."

"But still… I can't reach Yiyi at all. What if she's in danger?" She looked at her phone once again. She had the urge to call Tian Ruyi again but she knew that the result would still be the same. The call might not go through. "What if they're in trouble?"
"We'll find out once your parents get there."
Lu Mengjie pursed her lips. He looked so unbothered by what she just said. He didn't have an ounce of care towards them. "They're my friends, Liwei. I can't just sit still knowing that they could be in danger."
He looked at her and raised a brow. "So? Do you have any plan in mind to bring them out of there?"
She was slapped by his words. Her lips were stretched into a thin line as she averted her gaze from him. She knew that she couldn't just head there without a plan. Bai Keran knew that she already had her memories back. He even sent those mercenaries!
Lu Mengjie glared at him and exclaimed, "You love me, right? Why are you still being so mean to me!?"
He raised a brow. "Am I supposed to blindly do what you want just because you said so then?"
"That's… that's not what I mean…" she mumbled as her shoulders sank. "You just woke up and yet here you are, already fighting with me!"
"I'm just being honest. They are no one to me so why should I care?"
"Can't you at least pretend to care for my friends and comfort me instead?"
"I am not Han Yizhou." He used the joystick attached to the armrest to head out of the bathroom.
Lu Mengjie felt something struck her heart upon hearing the words he threw at her. She lowered her head and clenched her jaw. She regretted saying those words that, for some reason, made her feel guilty.

Upon noticing that the timer was up, she removed the pump bra and placed it on the side. She covered the two bottles and placed everything in the bag.
She wrapped a towel around her chest before she went out. She saw Yong Liwei by the crib, staring down at their sleeping son.
"Liwei…" she muttered. She somehow wanted to apologize to him but she held back her tongue. Why should she apologize? It was not like she said something wrong.
Despite having those thoughts, the guilt inside her continued to well up.
"What… What did Spider tell you?" She asked instead, trying to distract themselves from the tense atmosphere that was growing between them.
He was quiet again. It took him a few seconds before he finally opened his mouth to say, "Si Guanlin may have recruited some members of the old group, Arachnid. He could be the person who suggested those mercenaries to Bai Keran."
"Aguuu…" Little Peanut groaned in his sleep as he turned and hugged his plushie.
"We should discuss this outside." Yong Liwei's voice became softer.
Lu Mengjie nodded in agreement. "I'll just take a bath." She placed the bag on the bed before she went back to the bathroom.
"Mind if I join?"
His words made her stop in her tracks. She slowly turned to look at him. "The doctor specifically said not to wet your wounds."
"Then I can just order someone to buy a wound protector."
"..." Ah yes, there was that option too. "Then I can take a bath ahead while you wait for that wound protector of yours."
Just like the previous days, she couldn't help but avoid getting intimate with him. She knew that it wasn't going to be a simple shower if she allowed him to join her. Even after she told him that she forgave him, she didn't forget what he did. He still has to tell her everything if he wants to mend this part of their relationship. Trust.
Yong Liwei moved his joystick forward, his wheelchair approaching her. "I'll tell you everything."
She blinked a few times as she looked at him in confusion. "Just for a bath with me?"
"Yes, just for a bath with you."
"..." If she knew that bathing with him would make him speak everything, she would have long agreed already.
"Fine. A bath then." She went behind him and began pushing the wheelchair towards the bathroom.
