The Devil’s love

"I heard that Yichan's father married someone else in the States, maybe your step mother-in-law isn't that bitchy," Meili chuckled.

Helplessly shaking her head, Ning sighed, "Don't even remind me of that side, it's a mess." ​​

"Why?"

"Yichan's dad has a whole new family there and he also has a son, Yichan saw his dad playing around with his other son when he had visited him in the States. Imagine how bad he must have felt. Like I know that the situation counts but how is any reason fair to what happened with Yichan? As a child, all he wanted was a little love from his parents but he got none. His father just selfishly left his little son alone to deal with all the insecurities saying that he doesn't want to stay in the same country as his wife. But at the same time, there he is settling down in a foreign land and starting a new family." After aunt Wenna told Ning about Yichans father, Mo Yihong, her perspective of him slightly had slightly changed but that didn't last long. When Yichan told her more details about his father's post action, the little sympathy he had for Yihong vanished in thin air.

"Hmm, Guiren told me about this earlier. Yichan was actually quite bumped and upset after coming back from the States," Meili explained.

"I don't want to be mean but I really don't understand the whole leaving his family and completely starting a new one. How can he love his other son but not care about the other? I am just—" taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Ning sighed, "Let's not talk about this otherwise I might break someone's head out of frustration and anger."

Placing her hand on Ning;s arms, she nodded her head, "Yes, don't think about it, you and Yichan have each other now so you don't need anyone now. Your patents and Yichan's parents don't have any say in your lives."

"Hmm alright, I'll take my leave now."

"What? I thought you were staying," Meili said.

Giving her a hug, Ning explained, "I'll come back later but right now I have a bone to pick with someone."

"Who?"

Pulling away, she answered, "Someone who probably woke up with a very bad mood."

….

Uranus Complex

Taking the master keycard from the office, Ning made her way to the elevator accompanied by the buildings manager.

"Is he there?" Ning inquired.

"Mr Lucas came back today in the morning, he wasn't at home last night," the manager informed.

"At what time did he come back?"

"The guards told me that he came back around seven in the morning."

….

65th floor.

Stepping out of the elevator, Ning gestured the manager to leave while she made her way towards Lucas's apartment.

Before swiping the key card, she took out a mask from her bag. After experiencing how dirty his apartment was every time she visited him, she had started taking precautions. She had no intentions of breathing in the dirty and unhygienic air that enveloped the entire apartment.

….

Inside the apartment.

As soon as she entered the apartment, she frowned and took a step back before checking the apartment number. After making sure that it was indeed Lucas's apartment, she raised her brows and stepped in again before taking off her mask.

Looking around, she pursed her lips before closing the door.

"I seriously should consider switching places soon, I mean do I even have any sort of privacy in this place?" Lucas sighed and helplessly shook his head.

Placing her bag on the couch, she gave him a very weird look. "Are you cooking?"

"What? Don't you think that I feel hungry?"

Running her finger through the side table, she raised her brows, "Why the hell is this place so clean? And who the fuck at you?"

Rolling his eyes at him, he tightened the knot of his apron and entered the kitchen.

Pouting her lips, she curiously followed him behind. She wanted to know what had exactly happened to Lucas because the man who purposely did not clean his place saying that he likes living that way, had actually surprisingly cleaned his apartment and was cooking his own meal. Not only was that surprising but it was also very suspicious.

….

Kitchen.

Looking at the vegetables that he was sauteing, Ning curiously inquired, "You are eating veggies?"

Shrugging his shoulders, he answered, "Uh-huh, I realized that I have been eating very unhealthy lately and it's directly affecting my skin. I mean, it has become so dry and chappy over the time so I am doing this so that I can nourish them."

"Lucas, did you hit your head somewhere hard? Or are you under some kind of a spell?"

"What? Why would you say that? Didn't you always want me to live a healthy lifestyle? So here I am living one but you keep doubting me, what do you exactly want from me?"

Not liking the way he was dicing the tomatoes, she sighed, "Just focus on sauteing those and give this to me." Washing her hands in the basin, she took a knife from his hand and started dicing it her way, the perfect way.

"So what brings Mrs Mo at my doorsteps?" he inquired.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she answered, "You see, I am not the kind of wife who checks her husband's phone but today while I was looking for a number in Yichan's phone, I happened to receive a message."

Stopping midway, Lucas awkwardly cleared his throat, "Oh so what does that have to do with me?

"The number was saved under the name Sparrow so do you have any idea who it is?" she asked.

Vigorously shaking his head, he denied, "Nope, nada no idea who Sparrow is."

Running her finger through the edge of the knife, she said, "Well that is strange but you know what is more strange?" Without waiting for his reply, she added, "How Yichan and the other guys refer to you by that name."
