BXBX NOVEL Chapter 8 My favorite frui
Xia Sinian raised a brow upon hearing the name. "Mello? Didn’t you named him ’Gua’?"
"Yes, but his name here is Mello, and besides, my son likes it when I call him Mello." Xia Meiren said as she looked around for Little Melon and Feng Ning. Did they went somewhere together? "By the way, where is he, brother?"
"He went running off somewhere. Feng Ning went to go after him." He replied calmly. "He’s a troublesome child, running off wherever he wants."
Xia Meiren turned to her brother as she narrowed her eyes. "Xia Gua is an obedient boy. He won’t go running off somewhere unless you said something to him."
Xia Sinian’s face remained calm, "I said a few things." He didn’t deny anything since he was a straightforward person.
"Y-You...!" She gritted her teeth. "I will beat you up later." She turned and left him alone since she was very worried of her son.
Xia Sinian ignored her, there’s no way that she can beat him just because she said so. He stood up and decided to talk with his friends.
While searching for Little Melon, she bump to Feng Ning. "Ning-ge! Have you seen my son?"
Feng Ning shook his head. "No, not yet. I’ve been looking for him since earlier but I couldn’t find him"
This time, Xia Meiren started panicking. Feng Ning saw this that’s why he patted her shoulder. "Calm down, Xiao Mei. Mello must be hiding somewhere. You search over there while I search over the other side, okay? If we work together, we will be able to find him soon."
Her eyes became watery as she nodded her head. "T-Thank you for your help Ning-ge..."
"I will go ask fo my friends to help us too, okay? Lets go."
Once again, they separated.
Xia Meiren was worried and was panicking since she couldn’t find Little Melon but at the same time, she was angry because of her brother. If it was not for Xia Sinian, Little Melon wouldn’t have run away!
Did he went down to hide in another floor? That was possible since he couldn’t be found anywhere in the dining hall, that’s why Xia Meiren went to the elevator. By the time she went there, the elevator doors slid open, revealing a man, holding a little boy’s hand.
"Xia Gua!"
"Momma!" Little Melon quickly pulled his hand off from the man’s hold before he jumped into Xia Meiren’s embrace as he cried. "Momma... momma..."
Xia Meiren held him close in her arms as she carried him, relief finally filled her whole body. "I finally found you..."
"Momma won’t leave Mello, right? Right? Momma... please don’t send Mello to orphanage..." He sobbed.
She furrowed her brows upon hearing his words, she looked at him, "Mommy will never leave you. I will never send you to the orphanage, who told you this?"
"U-Uncle Sinian." He sniffled. "U-Uncle Sinian said that... that momma doesn’t love Mello that’s why... that’s why momma named Mello... Gua!" He cried out loud once again. It was a good thing that no one was around the corner or else they will definitely catch the attention of others.
The man who brought Little Melon was quietly watching the two at the side.
Xia Meiren was filled with rage when she heard what Little Melon said but it didn’t show on her face. She gently wiped Little Melon’s cheeks with her thumb. "Don’t cry, don’t cry. What he said is a lie. I love you so much, okay? Besides, I named you Xia Gua because of my love for melons! Melon is one of my favorite fruit, that’s why I named you after it. Xia Gua is my favorite and the one I love the most."
Little Melon finally stopped crying as he looked at her with red and puffy eyes. "R-Really? Momma’s saying the truth?"
Xia Meiren’s eyes softened. Little Melon brought light and happiness in her life. Who wouldn’t love a boy that brings joy to her? She gave him a loving smile, "Yes, it’s the truth. I will never lie to you." She leans and placed a soft peck on his lips.
A smile finally appeared on his face, "Mello still prefers Mello, is it okay?"
She nodded. "Mm! Of course it’s okay~ Mello is still from melon." She chuckled.
"Mello loves momma a lot." He buried his face on the crook of her neck.
"I love you too." She gently patted his back. It hurt her to see her son crying earlier. How dare her brother do this? Even if Xia Sinian was her brother, she will not forgive him. so easily!
Xia Meiren suddenly remembered the man who brought Little Melon back which made her raise her head to look at him.
"Thank yo-" she paused as soon as she saw the man. Her eyes went wide in surprise.
The handsome man was wearing a black retro suit and his features was the same as Little Melon, except for his dark black eyes.
"Y-You..You’re... L-Lu Yifeng...?"
