Chapter 262 - There Would Be No Others (2)
Back at the Lu family's main house, Yun Qingrong was left with Xi Qian. Chairman Lu had already excused himself as he was ready to retire for the night, allowing their guests to stay for the night in their guestrooms.
She wasn't worried about her daughter, now that Lu Qingfeng was courting her. She knew that the young man would be able to talk it out with her daughter, and she didn't want to ruin their last night for the meantime.
"Qian'er, what do you think about Xiao Feng?" She suddenly asked Xi Qian, much to the younger woman's surprise.
Xi Qian was thankful that she wasn't drinking anything at that moment, or else she would have spat out her drink from shock.
"Why is Aunty Qing asking me this? Did Lu Qingfeng do something?" She asked in return. There was something about the way Yun Qingrong looked at Lu Qingfeng that Xi Qian noticed earlier.
Yun Qingrong remained silent for a moment, and stared at the glass of champagne in her hand. She had been used to seeing her daughter with Xiao Feng for a long time, but now that the young man had voiced his intention, it was normal for her to get worried about them.
Her Feifei and Xiao Feng were still too young to think about marriage, but Xiao Feng's eyes as he asked for her daughter's hand was clear in Yun Qingrong's mind.
"I haven't told Feifei this, but Xiao Feng asked me for her hand in marriage. I actually don't know what to feel about it." She told Xi Qian.
She had already discussed this with Chairman Lu earlier to get his opinion, but the old man had voiced his support and respect for Lu Qingfeng's decision. He didn't mind having Su Xiaofei as his granddaughter-in-law, as long as Xiao Feng would be able to keep up with his responsibilities within their family.
Xi Qian opened her mouth to say something, but she realized that she had no words to say at all. Since Lu Qingfeng had already done such a thing, even if he wasn't here, there was no way he would hand Su Xiaofei to another man, especially to Mo Yuchen.
'Ah, so sneaky, that little tyrant.' Xi Qian thought after she recovered from her shock. She shouldn't be surprised that Lu Qingfeng had done such a thing.
"Then, is Aunty Qing worried that he and Feifei won't get along in the future?" She asked.
"They are still young, and I know Feifei still wants to do a lot of things before settling down. I think Xiao Feng is rushing into it, though. I don't doubt his sincerity, I'm only worried that once they have taken the next step and are together, it would be hard for them to return to what they used to be if things didn't work out between them." Yun Qingrong explained.
"I think they will be fine, Aunty Qing. If Feifei isn't willing, I don't think Lu Qingfeng would be able to force her to do something she didn't want. He thinks very highly of her."
Yun Qingrong nodded in understanding. How can she not notice how Lu Qingfeng treats her daughter? From the moment Feifei took him home and introduced him to her, the young man had been taking care of her daughter in his own way since then.
"Perhaps I'm thinking too much. I should trust Feifei and Xiao Feng on this." She sighed and rubbed her temple. She also needed to accept that her daughter won't stay young forever.
"If Aunty Qing doesn't trust Lu Qingfeng, then you should trust Feifei." Xi Qian smiled. "I'm proud to say that Feifei has changed a lot and has become more sensible when making decisions."
Yun Qingrong couldn't help but agree with Xi Qian. So many things have happened ever since the new year. Although she was now divorced with her ex-husband, she realized that her life was more peaceful and happier compared to the past. She was also happy that her relationship with Feifei had gradually improved, and her daughter had stopped arguing with her over trivial things and Mo Yuchen.
Whatever made her Feifei change, it must have taught her something valuable. Yun Qingrong had once asked Su Xiaofei about it, but her daughter only gave her a meaningful smile, not saying a word to explain what could have triggered this sudden change in her.
It must be painful. Yun Qingrong thought. There was nothing that could cause a person to change overnight, except if that person had undergone a very painful and tragic event in their life. She could only surmise that her daughter's sudden change had something to do with Mo Yuchen, as her Feifei was disgusted by his mere presence alone, unlike in the past.
"I trust Feifei." She told Xi Qian, "but I wish she could tell me things, so I won't worry too much." She added.
Although Su Xiaofei had become more sensible, Yun Qingrong noticed that she had also become more secretive with her actions. Not only was she able to lure Qin Muyao to join Bluemedia and saved his dying career, she was also betted on the previous queen, Tang Liyan, to take over the role from Bai Qingyue.
Yun Qingrong had many questions in her mind, but she allowed her daughter to do these things under her watch, in hopes to see a better perspective on how Su Xiaofei thinks. However, it proved to be hard, as it only made her more confused as to how her daughter was able to do things smoothly.
"It's not just her that changed, Aunty Qing. You also changed for the better and I think that's the reason why you could move forward and not dwell on the past."
As Xi Qian told her this, Yun Qingrong realized that Xi Qian was right. Change was inevitable, even for a person like her.. If she could change for the better, so was her daughter.
