My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife

Early in the morning, Shi Enxi was woken up by loud purrs. She felt her body heavy as if someone was sitting on her.

Her brows were knitted together since she was feeling so uncomfortable.

What was Lu Mello up to now? This was the first thought that entered her mind.

She squinted her eyes open, instead of seeing Lu Mello's face, she saw a big spotted cat's face staring down at her.

"..." It wasn't just a simple cat... It was a cheetah!

Shi Enxi felt her heart was in her throat when she saw the cheetah's standing on top of her.

"M-Mello..." She tried to call out to him with a weak voice.

A low growl was heard from the cheetah instead. His eyes narrowed at her.

Shi Enxi could feel Lu Mello sleeping beside her so peacefully. How can he sleep like a baby when there was a wild animal in their room?!

Under the blanket, she pinched Lu Mello's side hardly to wake him up.

"Ow! Who did that?!" Lu Mello g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain as he woke up.

The cheetah turned its head toward Lu Mello.

"M-Mello..." Even if Shi Enxi loved all kinds of cats, having a wild one in front of her made her scared!

Lu Mello heard the frightened tone coming from Shi Enxi which made him turn his head to her only to see that a cheetah was standing on top of her.

Shi Enxi's eyes were becoming teary. Was she going to be eaten alive by the cheetah? She shuddered at the thought. She was too scared to scream out since she was afraid that the cheetah might suddenly bite on her to shut her up.

He blinked a few times at the sight. He sat up, chuckling lightly, "Wife, don't be scared, alright? I'm here."

How can he be so calm?! He even has the audacity to stroke her hair in front of the cheetah! Can't he see that she was sinking in the bed because of the weight on top of her?!

Finally, Lu Mello turned to the cheetah. "Timmy, you're scaring my wife. Get off her."

Timmy?

The cheetah named Timmy turned his curious gaze to Shi Enxi. She was a new face in the house so it was only normal for him to have his guards up.

"Come on now, Timmy. Be good. Don't crush my wife any further."

This time, Timmy got off her and instead, he went to Lu Mello and rubbed his head against him.

Lu Mello smiled and started petting his head.

Shi Enxi was still in a state of shock. What just happened? 

She slowly sat up and moved away from them.

Lu Mello turned to her and smiled. "Xi'er, meet Timmy." He casually introduced to her.

Timmy once again looked at Shi Enxi.

"This cheetah... Is yours?" 

"Yes."

Damn! Super rich people really have it different! Even their pets are something that is not so easy to attain!

"Timmy, from now on, she'll be living with us so treat her well, okay?" Lu Mello continued to run his fingers on his fur. "She is a very important person to me so get along with her."

The animal seemed to understand what Lu Mello was telling. He took a step forward and started sniffing Shi Enxi, as if memorizing her scent.

Shi Enxi remained still since Timmy was sniffing her all around. After he was done he jumped off the bed and walked toward the balcony.

She was finally able to breath out after Timmy left the room through the balcony.

A soft chuckle was heard from Lu Mello. "You'll get used to him. He always comes to visit my room every morning to check on me."

"..." Does that mean that she has to experience something like this every morning?! She better close all the windows and even the balcony door every night then!

As if seeing through her thoughts, Lu Mello chuckled and didn't say a thing. 

Shi Enxi narrowed her eyes as she looked at Lu Mello. Was he enjoying how scared she was earlier? "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." He lied down and pulled her back to him. "It's too early, let's go back to sleep."

"Don't you have work?" Shi Enxi didn't push him away. She remained still in his arms.

"I cleared my schedule today since you said you are free."

"..."

Was he being sweet or annoying?

Her encounter with Lu Mello's pet made her remember of her own cat, Vanilla. "Wait, I need to give someone a call."

"Who are you going to call?"

"Fan Xiao Yao." After mentioning the name, Shi Enxi looked closely at him to see what reaction he'll make.

Lu Mello knew what Shi Enxi was trying to do but he remained calm and normal, showing no reaction to her at the mention of Fan Xiao Yao. He smiled and released her, "Go on."

Shi Enxi pursed her lips when she didn't see any changes on him. She was about to reach out her phone when she noticed a ring on her finger.

The platinum ring had a diamond in the middle and on each side of it, there were three small diamonds. Overall, the ring had 7 diamonds in it. Just by looking at it, she knew that the ring's price could make anyone's wallet cry!

She turned to Lu Mello who has his eyes closed. Did he put it on her last night?

A small smile appeared on her lips. How sweet.

She took her phone and was about to dial Fan Xiao Yao but her phone started ringing, it was a call from Huang Li.

She got off the bed and went toward the balcony. She made sure that Timmy wasn't around, in case he might jump on her all of a sudden.

She answered the call, "Hello?"

"He has woken up."

Huang Li didn't have to mention a name, Shi Enxi knew who he was talking about. Her mood changed and her look became dark. "When did he woke up?"

"Just a few hours ago. What do you want me to do?"

Shi Enxi took a glance at Lu Mello's figure that was lying down on the bed for a while.

Lu Mello was keeping an eye at her right? If she did something and tried to kill Wang Hao again, she might be caught by him. She needed to lie low for now. "Don't do anything for now."

"Alright."

Huang Li understood her situation so he agreed with her. Aside from that, he wanted Shi Enxi to lie low since Wang Hao might come to doubt her if she tried to kill him again.

"Oh yeah, can you check on Vanilla today?"

"She should be fine since she's with Fan Xiao Yao right?"

She huffed, "I don't trust her. She might even forget to give Vanilla some food!"

He chuckled lightly. Vanilla was Shi Enxi's baby and he knew how protective Shi Enxi could get over her cat. "Alright, I'll check on her."

"Thank you, gege."

"Mm. Anyway, how's your first day with him? Is he treating you well?" He asked curiously.

Shi Enxi ended up looking at the ring on her finger and her mood becoming lighter. "Of course. If he's been treating me badly, I would have burned his place last night!"

"If you need help, just let me know."

When she thought of burning his place... She suddenly felt sorry for all the expensive items inside. Nope, she was not going to burn this place down.

She remembered Lu Mello's words that everything he has now belonged to her so if she was going to burn the place then wouldn't she be burning her things along with it? Tch, burning the place down was such a bad idea.

Hearing Shi Enxi's lively voice, Huang Li knew that everything was going well on her side. "I should hang up now. I'll give you a call later after I check on Vanilla."

"Okay, bye, gege."
