12 Biggest wall between them (EDITED)

The car's door was opened by a man in a suit and Lu Yifeng emerged out of the car. This was so unexpected! Xia Meilin was in shock when she saw him there.

Lu Yifeng was wearing a black business suit. His eyes were dark, his lips were pale and thin and his nose slender. A prominent jaw curved gracefully around and the strength of his neck showed in the twining cords of muscle that shaped his entire body. His face was void of emotions but for some reason, a glint of longingness flashed in his eyes when he saw Xia Meilin and Little Melon but it soon disappeared and was replaced by his usual blank look.

Other men paled in comparison to him. One look and both women and men swooned at the sight of him no matter their sexual preferences. His handsome features were captivating everyone.

The majestic air around him made everyone hold their breath. Lu Yifeng looked so different in person. It wasn't easy to get a hold of him and he rarely showed himself in front of others but right at that moment, they were blessed by his presence!

Xia Meilin stood still as she looked at Lu Yifeng's tall figure that was approaching her.

Xia Sinian went in front of his sister to block her from Lu Yifeng as he took off his sunglasses. "Mr. Lu, what a surprise to see you here."

Lu Yifeng eyed Little Melon before he calmly looked at Xia Sinian. "I've come to pick you up and MY family."

The reporters were surprised to hear the words that came out of Lu Yifeng's mouth. They quickly snapped back to reality.

"Mr. Lu, are you married to Ms. Xia? Is Xia Mello your son?"

"Mr. Lu, what is your relationship with Ms. Xia?"

"Ms. Xia, are you with Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yifeng didn't answer them, he was quietly staring at Xia Meilin.

Since there were so many eyes that were watching them, Xia Sinian couldn't do anything that would ruin his sister.

"Let's go."

Xia Meilin may look calm outside but she was in turmoil inside. When Xia Sinian held her hand, he was able to feel how cold her palm was. He gave her hand a squeeze as if he was letting her know that he was with her before they followed Lu Yifeng in the car.

...

It was quiet inside the car. Lu Yifeng was staring at Xia Meilin when she took off her sunglasses. She didn't look at him even once but instead focused her gaze on her son.

Little Melon smiled when he saw Lu Yifeng. He wriggled free from Xia Sinian's hold before he instantly went to Lu Yifeng side. This surprised Xia Meilin and her brother.

"X-Xiao Gua..."

Little Melon removed his mask and looked up at him. "Uncle Xian Yu, why are you here? Did uncle Xian Yu fly too?" He asked in his cute voice.

Uncle Xian Yu? Lu Yifeng furrowed his brows. He was told by Lu Xian Yu about Xia Meilin. That Lu Xian Yu was getting ahead of himself! How could his son call him that way when Little Melon hasn't even call him 'father' yet?

Seeing Lu Yifeng's reaction made Xia Meilin nervous. She frantically reached out her hand to Little Melon. "C-Come here, Xiao Gua..."

Lu Yifeng took a glance at Xia Meilin. He had to admit that when he saw her he was captivated by her beauty like the first night they shared 4 years ago. He turned to Little Melon and carried him unto his lap, his gaze became soft and gentle, "I am not your Uncle Xian Yu, I am his twin brother, Lu Yifeng."

Little Melon blinked a few times. He stared at Lu Yifeng's face before he grinned and reached out to the almost unnoticeable beauty mole under his left eye. "Okay! Uncle Xian Yu doesn't have a mole here so Mello believes Uncle Yifeng!"

As Xia Meilin witnessed their interaction she felt her heart shuttered, she wanted to grab her son away from Lu Yifeng but she was afraid! Meanwhile, Xia Sinian was starting to get alarmed. What should he do? If he said something that would displease Lu Yifeng, the Xia company might be placed in danger for his recklessness.

"I am not your uncle. I am your father." Lu Yifeng didn't bat an eye when he told Little Melon the truth.

"No way! Dada is in heaven! Mello only had one dada!" He pouted as he crossed his arms.

Lu Yifeng was indignant with what his son said but he tried not to show it on his face. He looked at Xia Meilin. "Will you believe it if it is said by your Mother?"

"Yup!" Little Melon nodded cutely before he looked at Xia Meilin as well. "Momma said Dada is in heaven, right?

"Come here." Lu Yifeng said as he offered he patted the space beside him.

Xia Meilin was hesitant, she didn't want to go near him at all, she was scared of him.

"Momma..." Little Melon noticed the uneasiness in Xia Meilin's face, "What's wrong?"

It was not the time to be scared of him! A dangerous man was holding her son! She sat on Lu Yifeng's side with enough space in between. She gathered all her courage to pull Little Melon away from his father.

"Momma, is Uncle Yifeng Mello's Dada?" Little Melon asked curiously.

"He's... h-he's..." Xia Meilin jittered when she saw the glare that Lu Yifeng was giving her. She was hesitant but sensing the danger in his eyes left her with no choice. Although it was just her misapprehension since that was his usual resting face. "Y-yes... he is..." She admitted.

Little Melon gasped was heard throughout the car. His eyes started to become misty, "Why did momma lie to Mello?"

When he saw that Little Melon was on the verge of crying, Lu Yifeng reached out and gently patted his head. "Your mother didn't lie. What she meant was that I was in another country."

Little Melon turned to him with his tearful gaze, "Really?

Lu Yifeng nodded his head, "Yes. Didn't you fly in heaven earlier? I was very busy with work that's why I apologize for not accompanying you... I will make up for it."

Little Melon was an innocent child, he has always thought that he didn't have a father but now that Lu Yifeng was there, telling him that he was his father and with Xia Meilin's confirmation, Little Melon's heart trembled. "Dada... Mello has dada..."

The little boy reached out to his father, making Xia Meilin clench her fists tight. She didn't want Little Melon to go to him but she didn't have a choice. Even if she wanted to push Lu Yifeng away from her son, the moment she saw her son's longing gaze, she couldn't bring herself to stop him.

Once again, Lu Yifeng held Little Melon in his arms and as he did, he couldn't help but soften his heart to Little Melon. When was the last time he gave him a proper hug again?

He hugged him and felt frustrated upon knowing that he missed three years and a half of his son's life... No, it wasn't just three years, it was actually more than that if he were to include the years he wasted during his previous life.

"Dadaaa..." Little Melon cried as he hugged him close. He always yearned for paternal love. There were times where he would be envious whenever he saw other kids with their fathers. Back then, he would always ask Xia Meilin for his father but he stopped after Xia Meilin said that he was in heaven.

Xia Sinian was astounded to see the gentleness of Lu Yifeng towards Little Melon. He never imagined that a frigid man like him had a tender side.

Xia Meilin lowered her head and clenched her fist. She never wanted this to happen, she didn't want Little Melon to accept Lu Yifeng just like that but based on Little Melon's reaction she deduced that he would easily accept him as his father. Growing up without a father made one longed for it. She knew that feeling well since it was the same for her.

"Don't worry, I will make amends to catch up with you." This was another unexpected side of Lu Yifeng. There was no hint of coldness in him while he was holding his son.

The warm sensation that Little Melon felt lingered around his father's strong arms. It was different from his mother's gentle embrace nonetheless it only made him give in.

Lu Yifeng finally faced Xia Meilin. "I will take responsibility for our son."

'Our son', the phrase made Xia Meilin's stomach turn, she didn't want to hear those words from him. She still couldn't believe that Lu Yifeng has this side on him.

Lu Yifeng was the cold and ruthless twin; a man that shouldn't see others eye to eye yet he was being nice right now? He doesn't even condemn her. In fact, his gentleness made her doubt the rumors about him.

'Not all rumors are true', that was what her brother reminded her.

Still, she wouldn't let go of the fact that he raped her; he was the person who violated her. He was her rapist and she was his victim. This was the biggest wall that drew them apart.
