The Devil who devoured Snow White

"I can hardly believe it actually," said Lust with full honesty. "But Sloth and Pride have been with you the longest. Even Envy doesn't trust him. I thought they were best friends but that doesn't seem to be the case…"

"Lust here is someone we can trust. Her loyalty is only to you and Envy."

"Obviously! They're the ones who saved me after all. I owe them my life!" She exclaimed with pride. They were her saviors and aside from that, they were the ones who gave her a family when she lost hers.

Lu Mengjie and Yong Liwei looked at each other, the couple were still filled with questions but it seemed like they wouldn't be getting those answers anytime soon unless she regained all her memories. Their situation was complicated, especially for her.

"I remember you telling me that the headquarters is in this country," said the man beside her. He turned his gaze back at the teenager in front of him and continued, "does that mean that the orphanage is located somewhere in this country?"

"You don't need to think where it is. It's here in Basel," said Lust with a wide grin plastered on her lips. "I would like to invite you to Old Town but we need to have you continue on with this disguise of yours, sister Xue or else, someone we know might end up noticing you and it will be bad for you."

"Why will it be bad for me if it's someone we know?" Lu Mengjie asked back.

"Because it will be safer for you this way," Sloth answered. "We don't know who's working with Wrath inside our family. They don't know that you are here. The fewer enemies you have the better."

That was quite true so Lu Mengjie couldn't really argue back.

Yong Liwei called for a waiter to transfer their food to the table they were currently sitting at. 

"Lust can give you my contact, I will keep you updated on the situation here," said Sloth while looking at the couple through the screen.

"I don't think I can be of help for you and the others right now…" Her plate was currently full with all the business with the Bai family. She didn't want to take more than she should.

"That's fine, you need to focus more on your recovery." Just like what he said to Lust earlier, Sloth knew that this would be for the best. There would be no biases coming from her, especially now that it seemed like she found another man. He was going to become the main catalyst in breaking her relationship with Wrath.

"He is right," Yong Liwei joined.

"Anyway, I better get going. I still have work to do."

Lu Mengjie bobbed her head a bit, a small smile appearing on her lips. "Alright. I will give my contacts to Lust so that you can reach out to me anytime."

With that, as soon as the call ended, Lu Mengjie gave her WeChat information to the girl in front of her.

"I need to go." She eyed Yong Liwei and continued, "I don't want to disturb your date with brother-in-law."

A faint blush appeared on Lu Mengjie's cheeks. The other girl's remark suddenly made her feel shy. It was not official yet but why was she looking forward to tying the knot with him?

"Oh! Before I forget, brother, what is your name?" Lust asked with a wide grin.

"Yong Liwei."

The moment he said his name, the redhead girl slammed her hands down on the table which caused her to steal the attention of the other people around them. Her eyes were wide, looking as if her eyeballs were about to come out of their sockets.

"SERIOUSLY?" She didn't look like she was unfamiliar with that name, it was more like the other way around.

"Do you know him?" The pregnant woman inquired, confusion seen in her eyes.

"Why the hell won't I?! He's-" she quickly covered her mouth, suppressing herself from saying anything further. "I need to let brother Sloth and Envy know!"

Before the couple could ask questions, Lust stood and ran away from the place in a hurry, leaving the couple alone.

"Should I follow her?" Yong Liwei asked as he turned his gaze to the woman beside him.

Lu Mengjie sighed, slightly shaking her head. "No. The less I know the better. I don't think she'll tell us even if we ask her."

"It's for your sake," he replied, somehow comforting her. "I think they're just trying not to pressure you which is good since you are also pregnant."

"I know." She sighed at the thought of putting her child in danger just because of the problems that keep on appearing around her. She couldn't help but wonder why it was happening to her? Why her of all people? 

She was brought out of her thoughts when she felt a warm hold on her hand. She turned her gaze and looked at Yog Liwei. He was looking at her with worry. He opened his mouth and spoke, "how about we go to the amusement park after this?"

The amusement park… Just at the thought of the place, she felt like something was about to happen again. Her womanly instincts were telling her otherwise.

"Maybe some other time... " She looked at the half-eaten food in front of her. She suddenly lost her appetite.

"It suddenly makes wonder... This should be put first official date and yet, we were interrupted by others. Again." He sighed.

His words somehow made her turn to him. A small crept up on her lips as she replied, "I couldn't agree more."

"But we still have time in our hands. If you don't want to go to the amusement park, where should we spend our time together?"

With that question being asked, it only took a few seconds before something entered her mind. Lu Mengjie turned to Yong Liwei, flashing her bright smile at him.
