Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 302 - Twenty Fourth Birthday (2)

She was doing it on purpose. Lu Qingfeng thought as he tried to distract himself from looking at his girlfriend by paying attention to what Song Yiran was saying to him. He clenched his jaw, trying hard to ignore Su Xiaofei, who was busy entertaining her other guests.

He then shot Xi Qian a fierce glare when the woman walked past him and Song Yiran, giving him a mischievous grin. Lu Qingfeng then knew that it was Xi Qian's way to get even with him. Xi Qian was surely enjoying seeing him being uncomfortable and distracted because of her best friend.

Before meeting Su Xiaofei at the party at Top Tier Entertainment, he made a call to Xi Qian to apologize and explained the whole situation and details about his so-called 'accident' to her. Xi Qian had been furious at him, even going as far as berating him for making Su Xiaofei worry about him for nothing.

Her annoyance only worsened when he told her that he intended to confess to Feifei for the second time, hoping that he would get a clear response from her this time. Xi Qian fell silent for a long time, which made Lu Qingfeng wonder if the woman still couldn't see his sincerity towards their best friend.

While it was true that they didn't get along well when they were younger, Lu Qingfeng wanted to seek Xi Qian's permission to date Su Xiaofei, and perhaps, marry her in the near future.

"I don't have the right to stop you nor Feifei if you two really like each other, but know this, Lu Qingfeng. You better not make her cry, or I will help Feifei discard and bury your dead body in the future." She said with annoyance.

"Also, what is this giving me a short notice on your return? You could have given me a fair warning before going there. I don't want Feifei to misunderstand that I'm covering for you!"

Lu Qingfeng smiled, thinking that Xi Qian's temper hadn't changed too over the years. As he thought about how Xi Qian ended up in their previous life, he now regretted not helping her at all. She was Su Xiaofei's best friend, and yet he had failed to protect her.

Xi Qian had lost her life before Su Xiaofei and even if he was in deep coma, if he had a strong bond with Xi Qian prior to his 'accident' Lu Qingfeng was certain that Nine and the rest of his people wouldn't let any harm fell on Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian, or so he thought.

His people couldn't do anything when Su Xiaofei was being mistreated inside the Mo household. No one even suspected that she was being poisoned by Ye Mingyu discreetly. The thought that he might lose Su Xiaofei again through the same scheme left a bad taste in his mouth.

Lu Qingfeng was sure to remind her and Xi Qian to watch out for food and drinks being offered to them, as they might never know who harbored ill intentions towards them. He could only hope that Su Xiaofei hadn't lowered her guard this time, and had been paying attention to his reminders.

Coming back to the present, although Lu Qingfeng liked how pretty his girlfriend was today, it also made him feel uncomfortable. She was wearing a little black strapless dress that gave him indecent thoughts about her.

That dress hugged her body in the right places, reminding him that she had become a beautiful woman that many men would covet, and he was lucky to win her heart this time. He had heard from Xi Qian that after Su Xiaofei annulled her engagement with Mo Yuchen, she received multiple marriage offers which she declined through Yun Qingrong's help.

Maybe Xi Qian chose this dress for Feifei to wear because she knew how it would rile him up once he saw Su Xiaofei in that dress.

Now that he and Su Xiaofei were in a relationship, he must also pay attention to his actions more than ever, so he wouldn't upset Yun Qingrong in the process. He didn't want Yun Qingrong to think that he had forgotten proper decorum, just because he was with her daughter now.

However, Lu Qingfeng hadn't expected that Xi Qian was such a troublemaker, a devil on top of that, putting his patience to a test as soon as she had the chance. He should have expected that this could happen when he asked Xi Qian a favor earlier – to help Su Xiaofei get ready for today's event.

"So… you and Su Xiaofei…" Song Yiran's teasing voice brought Lu Qingfeng back to reality.

"What about it?" He raised a brow in question, before downing his drink in one go. Were the air conditioners not running well, or was it exceptionally hot today? He wondered.

"Come on. How could you hide it from your friend when it's glaringly obvious that you and Su Xiaofei have decided to cross the line of being just friends." Song Yiran laughed, patting Lu Qingfeng's shoulder.

Everyone who knew the two could tell that something changed between the two as they casually glanced towards each other with a slight smile on their faces. Lu Qingfeng could barely let Su Xiaofei out of her sight and made sure to stay close to her while she talked with her friends.

"Don't worry, you have my full support. Ask me anything, if you cannot understand her or if you need some help." He then gave Lu Qingfeng a knowing grin. Song Yiran didn't doubt that Lu Qingfeng was inexperienced when it comes to women.

"Thanks for the offer, but I'm sure I wouldn't need your help for that." Lu Qingfeng gave the older man a pointed glare, but Song Yiran only laughed at him in amusement.

He didn't like that Xi Qian and Song Yiran were now using Su Xiaofei as an excuse to annoy him and get on his nerves, but he supposed he should get used to it.
