Chapter 296 - Is She Worth The Trouble? (1)
She had told him that she didn't like surprises, and yet here he was, making her heart race with his mere presence. Su Xiaofei knew that she should be happy if Lu Qingfeng was really here. It would only prove that her assumptions about him were correct, and she was right to place her trust in him.
Meanwhile, Mo Yuchen wasn't pleased to see Lu Qingfeng at all. He hadn't seen this young man in a long time, but he thought that Lu Qingfeng remained as irritating as he was, just like when he was younger.
Taking a closer look at Lu Qingfeng, Mo Yuchen noticed that the younger man had already shed all his childish features and had become more impressive in one's eyes. Lu Qingfeng had grown up into a fine, decent man with a strong demeanor, blossoming with confidence and fortitude. He was already stepping into the shoes of the great man he would become.
Still, the twenty-one-year-old Lu Qingfeng was still as arrogant as he could remember. However, as smart as Lu Qingfeng was, his one weakness was being head over heels for this hateful witch.
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Lu Qingfeng continued, his eyes daring Mo Yuchen to repeat himself.
At this moment, Su Xiaofei mustered all the courage she had and turned to see the man she'd been longing to see for some time now. She was aware of how her heart was thumping painfully against her chest, but it didn't matter, for she only wanted to see for herself if it was really Lu Qingfeng.
Her lips slightly quivered when her eyes confirmed what her heart had been yearning for. Lu Qingfeng was indeed here, dressed in his customary black business suit, looking as dashing as she could remember.
She saw him strode confidently and graceful towards her before gently pulling her to stand next to him. His hand came onto her shoulder, keeping her close, as he looked at Mo Yuchen with displeasure.
"Mr. Mo, why is it that whenever I see you, you are always trying to bully our Feifei?" Lu Qingfeng asked with unconcealed annoyance.
Mo Yuchen scoffed at the younger man's accusation. To him, Lu Qingfeng had always thrown aside his logical mind whenever Su Xiaofei was involved.
"It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Lu. It's your fault for trying to get involved in our conversation." He said in defense. There was something about Lu Qingfeng that annoyed him, but Mo Yuchen couldn't point it out.
Whether it was because this young man had been tailing and obsessing over Su Xiaofei or not, Mo Yuchen wasn't sure. It was obvious to him that Lu Qingfeng had Su Xiaofei in his heart, given how far the young man would willingly go just to defend her honor.
"As a man, do you really expect me to just watch and tolerate another person bullying a woman like Feifei? Even if it isn't Feifei who is in this situation, I would also stand up for her." Lu Qingfeng said without batting an eyelid.
Next to him, Su Xiaofei seemed to be in a daze. Her eyes stayed on Lu Qingfeng's face, her hand itching to touch it. It felt impossibly long since the last time she had seen him and after leaving her distraught hearing the news of his accident, her heart had never been at peace.
She had almost forgotten that she was also with Mo Yuchen if she didn't hear Lu Qingfeng talking to him, reminding her of where she was and what she was doing before Lu Qingfeng arrived.
"Mr. Lu, do you really think Su Xiaofei is worth the trouble?" She heard Mo Yuchen questioning Lu Qingfeng.
Su Xiaofei glanced at Lu Qingfeng's face, wondering if his answer would remain the same. Was she worth the trouble? She repeated Mo Yuchen's question in her mind. The Lu Qingfeng that she knew from her past life might be different from the Lu Qingfeng who was holding her now.
In her previous life, she heard someone asking Lu Qingfeng this very question, albeit she was already a ghost and had departed from the world of the living. Lu Qingfeng didn't think twice and claimed that he was willing to go to the netherworld if it meant that she would be safe and happy.
Those words were enough to make Su Xiaofei's heart ache, although she doubted that a wandering ghost like her was capable of crying. His answer only made her feel guilty of what she had done and regretted the decisions she had made when she was living. She hated that she had been so blinded with infatuation that she didn't notice the love Lu Qingfeng had for her.
"Mr. Mo might not understand, but I will say it anyway. Even if I have to go to the netherworld to save her, I will. If it means that I can ensure her safety and happiness." Lu Qingfeng answered the question.
Mo Yuchen's frown deepened upon hearing the young man's answer, and thought that Lu Qingfeng's mind was really beyond salvation if he was protecting Su Xiaofei like this. Couldn't he see how vicious and scheming this woman was? If anything, Lu Qingfeng should be worried that Su Xiaofei would only use him to her advantage.
"Also, what Feifei said earlier was right. Mr. Mo shouldn't blame anyone for his failure but himself. You can't just expect a competitor to go easy on you just because you used to be acquainted with each other. Aunty Qing and the rest of the Bluemedia worked hard to reach where they are now through hard work." Lu Qingfeng continued.
Mo Yuchen didn't have any words to refute what Lu Qingfeng had just said, but he hated to admit that he and Su Xiaofei were right.. If he had been capable enough, no matter how strong his opponent was, the TV drama that he had worked so hard on wouldn't flop and would still be able to compete through its quality.
