9 Something was fishy! (EDITED)

When Little Melon ran off, he ended up going to the elevator. He just sat inside and cried. People who went in and out of the elevator couldn't help but glance at him. They tried speaking to Little Melon but he ignored them. He stayed there until he reached the ground floor, though he didn't go out, he just remained there.

It was until a man went in and heard Little Melon's sobs. Since the man was very fond of kids, seeing a kid cry made him worried.

"Little boy, what's wrong?" The guy sat beside him.

"U-Uncle said that... that momma doesn't love Mello!" He cried out while burying his face on his knees.

"No way. Every mother loves their kids you know," said the man in a gentle manner.

Hearing what he said, Little Melon finally raised her head to look at the man with his tearful eyes. "R-Really? Momma loves Mello?"

Upon seeing Little Melon's face, the man's eyes went wide. Little Melon looked exactly like him... except for his eyes and hair color!

Little Melon has chubby cheeks that tempted people to pinch them. He has brown hair was wavy and has adorable almond-shaped eyes. The Little boy's cute features reminded the man of his childhood days... but for some reason, the boy looked more like his brother.

A face like Little Melon... Did he impregnate some woman without his knowledge? But he always used protection so how could that be?!

"Momma loves Mello?"

The man snapped out of his trance and nodded. "Yes! Yes! Of course, your mother loves you so don't cry, okay? Boys like us shouldn't cry." He patted his head. "Is your name Mello?"

"Yes... Mello's name is Xia Mello..." Little Melon said while wiping his tears.

Xia? Xia was a common family name in his country. However, seeing how the boy is all dressed up and was inside a five stars hotel, could he be a member of the rich Xia family? He didn't remember sleeping with a woman from the Xia family.

"My name is Lu Xian Yu. Let me help you look for your mother, I bet she's really worried of you." If he saw the woman that gave birth to this angel-like child, he would be able to remember if she was one of the women he slept with. After all, he would never forget the face of the women he has slept with, although none of them ever mattered to him.

"Momma said not to talk to strangers..." Little Melon said cutely as he was suddenly reminded of his mother's words.

"You're already talking to me."

"..."

Lu Xian Yu chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm a good guy. Anyway, which floor did you come from?"

Little Melon stared at him with his red and puffy eyes, he was hesitant but seeing the man was giving him such a friendly smile, Little Melon couldn't help but trust him a little. "Fourteen..."

"Oh, are you attending the banquet too? I'm on my way there." Lu Xian Yu stood up and pressed the 14th button.

"Here." He reached out his hand to Little Melon. "Why don't you tell me more about your mom while we go up?"

Little Melon looked at his hand before he held it and stood up. "Momma's a pianist. Mello loves momma a lot."

Lu Xian Yu nodded. "Yes, yes, I can see that little Mello loves her a lot. A pianist? What's her name?"

Since Little Melon was still doubting Lu Xian Yu, he was not going to sell his mother out to him. "Momma's name is momma."

"..."

----

The moment the elevator door slid open, Lu Xian Yu watched Little Melon reconcile with Xia Meilin.

Of course, Lu Xian Yu was able to recognize the woman in front of him since Xia Meilin was a famous pianist.

Nope, he surely didn't sleep with her. If he was able to seduce her, he would definitely date her for a few months since he was fond of her music, and since Xia Meilin herself was a great beauty.

But since he was absolutely sure it wasn't him who touched her, it could only mean that his twin brother, Lu Yifeng was the culprit behind it. There was no way that someone else could create Little Melon with the Lu features on. If someone else did then that person might be his brother from another mother!

No way... his older twin brother wasn't fond of women. He knew that Lu Yifeng is definitely gay! Then could it be that he has another brother that his mother was keeping from him?

It was until Xia Meilin looked up at him in surprise. "Y-You... You're... L-Lu Yifeng?"

Xia Meilin's heart was beating so fast since she was so nervous. She thought that he is Lu Yifeng.

Lu Xian Yu was Lu Yifeng's younger twin. Like his twin, most of the features were the same as his brother except for his eyes and lips; they were from his mother while Lu Yifeng inherited most of his father's features.

He was wearing a black tuxedo and his ash grey hair was eye-catching. Unlike Lu Yifeng, he didn't have a stoic look on his face. The playfulness in his eyes and his usual smile was something that made him look like a mischievous fox.

But those features weren't noticed by Xia Meilin, she was in a panic because of the thought that he was the man who defiled her.

"..." Did his brother really sleep with her? How did she know him? But that can't be, right? Lu Yifeng would always decline all the women that Lu Xian Yu would send to him. How did he end up sleeping with her? Was he really straight?

"Momma, this is Uncle Xian Yu... he helped Mello return here." Little Melon's cute voice was heard.

Xian Yu?

Lu Xian Yu gave his charming smile. "My name is Lu Xian Yu, it's an honor to finally meet my idol in person."

Was he not Lu Yifeng? Just like the rumors, Xia Meilin believed that Lu Xian Yu was a cold and stoic man while Lu Yifeng was the opposite - the playful womanizer. According to how the man before her was acting, she could only think of Lu Yifeng!

Xia Meilin narrowed her eyes. "I see. Thank you for bringing my son back."

She didn't dare ask him anything since what she wanted the most at that moment was to avoid him as much as possible! She couldn't risk the Lu family, especially Lu Yifeng finding out about her son. She didn't need anyone coming to disrupt the peaceful life she has build with Xia Gua.

"I'm really grateful but I have to go. My friends are waiting. If you'll excuse me." Xia Meilin turned to leave him.

Lu Xian Yu's eyes were sharp, so he noticed her hostility towards him. Something was fishy about her action! Was Little Melon really related to his brother? He must be, right? Was his brother keeping a child and a woman from him?

Lu Xian Yu watched as Xia Meilin walked away in a hurry leaving him behind. He didn't stop her. He had a feeling that they will be seeing each other again... It would surely be soon and in that time, he would find out the truth from his brother.
