My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife
Chapter 174
Lu Mello''s features may be more on his father''s side but his personality was more on her mother. His patience and kindness were always there in him especially when it came to the person he loves; seeing the goodness in them.
"Here, drink this." He handed a glass of water after Shi Enxi finally calmed down.
She took the glass and sipped a few of its contents. She became quiet after letting out the heaviness inside her by crying.
"Are you... still angry?" She softly asked with a bit of hesitation heard in her voice.
He chuckled a bit at her question, "Yes, I am." Although it was hard to believe when he was acting this caring to her.
"Then why are you smiling?" She couldn''t help but ask.
"It''s because I''m angry." He took the glass from her and placed it on the table before he fixed the blanket over her. "Now go to sleep, it''s late. I''ll wake you up once we arrive."
It was then that the flight attendant went to inform them, "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, we''ll be landing soon."
Shi Enxi chuckled at what she said. She looked at her husband, "I''ll sleep later."
...
As the plane landed on the ground, a black Maybach was waiting for them outside together with Lu Mello''s men who were all dressed in black suits.
Shi Enxi entered the car and was followed by her husband.
"How do you plan on capturing Shi Anhao?" Shi Enxi asked Lu Mello while they were inside the car.
"By taking her by surprise." He said while looking at the scenery they passed by through the car''s window. "I will be working together with the local PD."
She lowered her head and pursed her lips, not liking his plans at all. She closed her eyes and remained quiet as she rested her back against her seat.
"When do you plan on doing that?" She asked again.
"Within this week." He replied, not giving her a specific time. This time, he was only being careful in case his wife might try to get ahead of him again.
This time, Shi Enxi didn''t say a thing as her mind began on flying off somewhere while her eyes were close.
When he noticed how quiet she became, he turned to her and saw her that way. "Let me handle this, Enxi."
It was not like she has a choice. The men around them were all loyal to him. "Hm."
He reached out and made her head rest on his shoulder, "I''ll wake you up once we get there.''"
"Okay." She snuggled close against his warmth and hugged him from the side, seeking comfort in him but for some reason, it wasn''t enough with how things were at that moment.
Things were still not good for them despite how they were at the moment. It was as if even with how close they were right now, there was an invisible wall building up between them and they both could feel it but they remained quiet, not saying a word about it. There were so many things that bothered their mind and their focus should be there first, especially when those things were all about how to get back their son.
...
The next day, Shi Enxi was studying the blueprints of the mansion that Zi Xuan sent while Lu Mello was away.
With the evidence Lu Mello obtained, he began working together with the local police department, planning on how to capture Shi Anhao and her men.
Meanwhile, Shi Enxi had other plans that were why she contacted Zi Xuan. She didn''t want Shi Anhao to use her son as a hostage that was why it was better if he could get her son out of the place before the operation started.
She was in a disguise whenever she went out since she didn''t want Shi Anhao''s men to see her there. What was surprising tho was when she saw Huang Li in town.
She remembered what Fan Xiao Yao said that Huang Li was trying to find Shi Anhao and end her.
The men that Lu Mello brought were all loyal to him and if she asked one of them help with the plans she has in mind, she was sure that they were going to tell her husband about it. Having Huang Li there was an opportunity for her. He was someone who can help her.
She stood up from her seat and left the cafe just to follow Huang Li to the parking lot.
"Huang Li-" She paused from calling him when she saw a familiar face. It was a face she could never forget especially when there are times when she would dream of her together with her father.
There was no mistaking it, that woman was her mother. Mu Xijiu was sitting at the backseat of the car.
What is the meaning of this? How is this possible?
She rushed towards the car before it could even leave. If that woman was really her mother then why did Huang Li keep it from her?
Noticing someone approaching, Huang Li turned and knitted her brows upon seeing a man approaching them.
Why does he look familiar? He thought as he looked at Shi Enxi''s disguise.
Shi Enxi was wearing men''s clothes and her short, black hair was tied into a low ponytail, a few loose strands shaping her face. She was wearing glasses and because of her makeup skills, she was able to make herself look more like a man.
"May I help you?" Huang Li asked in English upon seeing her stand beside the car.
She took off her glasses and raised a brow, "Gege, I think you need some explanation to do." She turned her longing gaze at her mother after saying that to him.
Mu Xijiu''s eyes slowly went wide in realization, "Xi''er..."
Huang Li was surprised to see her there as well. No wonder he looked familiar, he was actually Shi Enxi in disguise!
Shi Enxi''s lips trembled, she felt a lump in her throat as she forcefully said out, "Mom..."
It was really her, right? She really was alive?
