She truly was her mother''s daughter. Mu Xijiu used her own son as a spy without even thinking of the risk that surrounded her child. It was not something she could be proud of.

    Even if her mother was to justify it by saying that Shi Zhou was an intelligent boy, the fact that he still was a child was there.

    Discussing things with her mother further opened her eyes to what she did. She was just not a horrible mother, she was a monster for using her own baby.

    Shi Enxi was horrified at the thought but that was the truth and it only made her decision firm.

    After discussing the plans with her mother, Shi Enxi went to see Huang Li.

    "Xiao Xi... I''m sorry for keeping it from you." Huang Li apologized, his head down.

    "What''s done is done." She replied, unfazed. "I''m here because I have something else I want to discuss with you."

    He turned his head to her, looking at her serious gaze.

    ...

    After meeting with her mother, on her way, she received a call from her husband.

    "Where are you?" Lu Mello asked from the other line.

    "I''m heading back to our place." She calmly replied.

    "I see. Have you talked with Zi Xuan about taking our son out of the place?"

    "Yes, you don''t have to worry about it. Everything will be ready by Friday. We will have our son back." She may have told him that but she has other things planned for that week especially when she was now working together with her mother.

    Mu Xijiu wanted to capture Shi Anhao to give her the torture that she deserved.

    It so happened that her mother actually has Shi Anhao''s daughter with her and was holding her as a hostage. The best payback for Shi Anhao was to see her own daughter suffer.

    Capturing Shi Anhao was not going to be easy, especially when she was going to be heavily guarded. But it was not going to be a problem for Shi Enxi with the right plan and right man for it.

    Arriving back at the hotel room, she saw Lu Mello, sitting at the couch, reading one of the doc.u.ments he brought for work.

    She approached him, taking a seat beside him. Even if they were not in good terms, Shi Enxi wasn''t going to hold herself back from snuggling unto him. She wanted to spend most of her time with him right now.

    "Mello, I''m hungry." She muttered while burying her face at the crook of his neck.

    Lu Mello breathed out. Her effect on his was too much even by a simple sweet gesture like this.

    He placed the doc.u.ment on the side before he reached out and placed his hand on her waist. "You haven''t had your lunch yet?"

    She leaned back a bit just so she could look at his face, "Darling, what I mean is... I''m hungry for you."

    In an instant, Lu Mello''s cheeks went red. He was obviously caught off guard by her.

    A mischievous smirk appeared on her lips as she reached out and placed her hand in between his t.h.i.g.hs, giving him a stroke.

    He quickly grabbed her wrist to stop her but it didn''t stop his manhood from forming a tent on his pants.

    "Xi''er." He warned, gazing straight into her eyes to which she ended up starting back at him. She was obviously not going to give up.

    As they stared back at each other, even with no words, they looked like they were speaking with their eyes and as it did, the heat in their bodies spread, yearning for each other''s warmth.

    In the next second, they found themselves kissing each other roughly.

    Shi Enxi had to adjust herself by going on top of him, taking a sit on his l.a.p, and kissing him more while her hands busied itself from unbuttoning his shirt. Their tongues battled for dominance.

    On the other hand, her husband slipped his hands under her shirt but the moment he touched the scar on her stomach, he stopped and pulled away from the kiss. Both were panting and out of breath.

    Lu Mello continued to stroke the scar, feeling it under his palm as gentle as he could.

    "What''s wrong?" She couldn''t help but ask as she placed her hand on top of his c.h.e.s.t.

    "Is it painful?" He suddenly asked out of nowhere.

    Shi Enxi ended up chuckling, "It has been long healed, Mello. It''s just a scar now."

    He was still looking at her stomach but after a moment, he finally looked at her, "I shouldn''t have forced you."

    She blinked a few times in confusion at the words he suddenly said. "What do you mean?"

    He closed his eyes and leaned forward to her shoulder, resting his head there. "I forced you to carry our child."

    The sudden pain in her c.h.e.s.t surprised her. It was as if she was stabbed by a dagger that came out of nowhere.

    She lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say to him.

    "I''m sorry." He apologized.

    Shi Enxi remained quiet. The warmth she felt earlier disappearing and was replaced by immense pain.

    She couldn''t really say that it was alright, that it was nothing when what he said was real.

    In the first place, she didn''t want the child. She was only forced to keep it just so Lu Mello won''t leave her after he blamed her for her sister''s death.

    If she has to be honest to herself, carrying the child for the first month has been awful for her especially when she didn''t want to be pregnant yet.

    She smiled bitterly, "What''s done is done." She truly was an awful person.

    "You really are being a mood killer right now, you know." She sighed heavily.

    He was quiet but what surprised her was when she felt the clothing on her shoulder where he was burying his face was becoming wet.
