Chapter 81 - Raising A Husband Is Hard (1)

The person who spoke, attracting everyone's attention, was none other than Lu Qingfeng himself. He was now dressed in his school uniform minus his black coat with the academy's insignia embroidered on his right collar, indicating his current year.

It seemed like he had recently showered, given how damp his dark hair looked, giving him a charming and innocent look that is usually hidden under his cold mask.

He had just stepped out of the locker room and found Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian talking to the same young woman he'd seen in the CCTV recording Nine had delivered to him before.

"What's going on?" He asked Su Xiaofei suspiciously. He had a feeling that this Ye Mingyu had come to cause trouble for Su Xiaofei again. As if he would allow another person to bully his Feifei in his presence.

Su Xiaofei pulled her wrist from Ye Mingyu's hold and hurriedly went to Lu Qingfeng. She smiled at him and hid her hands behind her back.

"Your team won today, does that mean we're going to celebrate?" She asked with a wide smile, this time a genuine one from her, allowing not only Lu Qingfeng to see it, but also the viewers who were still watching the livestream Ye Mingyu had set up for her earlier.

"Are you going to pay this time?" Lu Qingfeng looked at her suspiciously. "Feifei, I have this weird feeling that you are trying to scam me for money again."

This made Su Xiaofei laugh, her eyes glinting with mischief as Lu Qingfeng finally caught up with her 'brilliant' plan.

"Of course not, why would I try to scam you, Xiao Feng? Okay, okay. If you don't believe me, I'll be the one to settle the bill today. So what do you say?" She replied, unaware that she had just totally ignored Ye Mingyu's presence in favor of Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng's eyes turned into slits as he stared at Su Xiaofei.

"Show me your wrist." He demanded out of the blue.

"What?" Su Xiaofei blinked at him.

"You clearly heard me the first time. Now show it to me." He insisted.

Su Xiaofei sighed and showed him the same wrist that Ye Mingyu had held earlier.

Xi Qian who had been with Su Xiaofei from the very start of the encounter with Ye Mingyu gasped. She hadn't realized that Ye Mingyu's hold on Su Xiaofei's wrist was so hard that it had left the crescent marks of her nails on her best friend's smooth skin.

The video that continued to capture what was happening zoomed in on Su Xiaofei's reddened wrist, giving everyone a clear view of what had appeared on her skin.

'For a young woman with a lithe figure, I'm surprised to know that Ye Mingyu has such a vice-grip-like hold on Su Xiaofei's wrist.' Someone commented.

'What do you know? She's clearly alright. She could hurt Su Xiaofei like this while still shedding alligator's tears in front of everyone.'

'This is clearly what the others meant when they said, 'Don't judge the book by its cover.' Ye Mingyu seemed like she was harmless, but she's definitely a snake waiting for the right time to strike.'

Lu Qingfeng gently touched Su Xiaofei's wrist and scrutinized it, as if he was offended that Su Xiaofei was hurt like this.

"What are you doing, allowing another person to manhandle you like this? Look at your hand. Is that person trying to cut your blood circulation? Look! You can even see traces on her sharp nails on ur skin. You're evidently hurt." He said coldly.

Lu Qingfeng wasn't acknowledging Ye Mingyu's presence, nor looking her way, but Ye Mingyu staggered back and held a hand on her chest, feeling threatened by him. She was aware that Lu Qingfeng was Su Xiaofei's greatest support, and she had yet to find a way to separate the two from each other.

Ye Mingyu considered getting into Lu Qingfeng's good graces, but now that she was in front of him, she felt like this man could clearly see past her facade and was aware of her motive towards Su Xiaofei.

Su Xiaofei shot her a glance and shook her head.

"Xiao Feng, I think you are overreacting. Schoolmate Ye might have just got carried away with her emotions and didn't mean to hurt me like this." She told her childhood friend, but she knew that Lu Qingfeng wouldn't believe such nonsense.

"Is that so? Then make her apologize to you if she truly didn't mean it."

This time, he turned his cold, piercing gaze towards Ye Mingyu.

Why did it feel like she was being suffocated by Lu Qingfeng's mere gaze? Ye Mingyu thought. It was as if a never-ending void was waiting to devour her whole.

"I-I…" she tried to find the right words to reason out, but nothing came to mind.

'Heh. I doubt she would apologize to Su Xiaofei. Ye Mingyu probably didn't expect that Lu Qingfeng would notice what she had done to Su Xiaofei.'

'Come on, Ye Mingyu. Apologize if you have the guts. You clearly meant to hurt Su Xiaofei when you grabbed her earlier.'

The comments continued to taunt Ye Mingyu, which would make her breakdown later upon reading it.

"Now, now, Xiao Feng. Don't bully your seniors like that. If I allow you to force Schoolmate Ye to apologize for such a trivial matter, people might say that I'm teaching you how to bully a weaker person." As Su Xiaofei said this, she gave Ye Mingyu a mocking look, which the latter didn't miss at all.

Ye Mingyu's eyes were now rimming with tears. She ran away, knowing that she had lost face this time and cursed Su Xiaofei in her heart.

Su Xiaofei's gaze followed her retreating figure, her lips curling as she realized Ye Mingyu was heading to the direction where she spotted Cai Lin earlier. They better meet or else…

'Ye Mingyu, Cai Lin....Don't disappoint me…'
