Chapter 88 - Picking Up A Young Husband (2)
Su Xiaofei knocked on the door to get her mother's attention. It looked like her mother was currently reviewing the documents her Uncle Fang had delivered today. She was surprised that her mother was home this early, as Yun Qingrong usually arrived late at night when Su Xiaofei had already eaten her dinner and was preparing to go to bed.
"Feifei. You're home. Do you want something to eat? I can ask Aunty Liu to prepare you some snacks." Yun Qingrong lifted her head and smiled. "Xiao Feng."
Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng entered the study together. However, even before Su Xiaofei could say something to her mother, Lu Qingfeng had already beaten her to it.
"Aunty Qing, Grandpa is arriving tonight, so I need to go back home now. Thank you for allowing me to stay with you here." The young man asked, ignoring how Su Xiaofei was looking at him in disbelief.
"You are leaving already? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Su Xiaofei pouted at him. Had she gotten used to his presence that she was now feeling upset that she wouldn't be able to nag him anytime she wished to?
"I'm just going home, Feifei." Lu Qingfeng lightly flicked her forehead, earning a scathing glare from her. "It's not like I'm going somewhere far away where you wouldn't be able to see me."
"Still! We were together almost the whole afternoon, and you are only telling me this now?" She glared at him, slapping his hand away when he attempted to touch her shoulder. How could he not inform her sooner? He knew he was leaving, yet he didn't say anything to her at all!
Yun Qingrong laughed at their interaction. No one could really deny that her daughter was close to this young man she grew up with. She felt like it was only yesterday when her nine-year-old daughter came home one rainy afternoon with the young Lu Qingfeng, who just turned six, asking her if the boy could live with them. She could still recall it clearly to this day.
"Mama, can Xiao Feng stay here and live with us? He said he only has a grandfather, who is always away for work. He also doesn't have a mommy or a daddy." Her Feifei's round dark eyes blinked at her, expecting she would agree to her request.
Yun Qingrong glanced at the young boy who was holding her daughter's hand. She was slightly surprised that he looked better than other young boys his age. His clothes indicated that he was also from a well-off family, but why would her Feifei think they should take in this little master?
"But darling, even if Xiao Feng doesn't have parents, I'm sure his grandfather would miss him if he went missing." She told her young daughter.
Young Feifei pouted, refusing to let go of the boy's hand. She liked Xiao Feng because he's just like her. Xiao Feng didn't go and make himself look dirty by playing with the other kids. He was also very smart that he was able to correct her when she misread the book she was reading earlier.
Also, just look at his cute face! He had a chubby, cute face that reminded her of mantous1. His skin was pale and smooth and adding to the fact that he really smelled nice, young Feifei decided to take him home on the spot.
Su Xiaofei, who was fond of collecting cute things, was naturally attracted when she first laid her eyes on Lu Qingfeng. He was so pleasing to look at, so why not bring him home, so she could enjoy looking at his cute face anytime she wanted!
Who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, those young kids were now reaching their adulthood soon. Her Feifei was now a grown up lady, soon enough, she would leave the nest and would start her own family in the future.
The baby she had fallen in love with the first time she laid eyes on, was now a beautiful woman she could be proud of. Even though she wasn't able to conceive and give birth to her own child, Yun Qingrong was thankful that she was able to have Feifei as her daughter.
"Feifei, it's alright. You know you can't keep Xiao Feng here forever." She told her daughter.
Lu Qingfeng opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Su Xiaofei kicked his shin.
She wasn't sure what kind of nonsense he would spout in front of her mother, and Su Xiaofei didn't want her mother to misunderstand.
"I'm just going to say, Aunty Qing is right. Do you really have to kick me?" He frowned, feeling being wronged by Su Xiaofei at the moment.
"Come here, Xiao Feng." Yun Qingrong stood up from her seat and gestured to him to move closer.
Lu Qingfeng gave Su Xiaofei an inquisitive look, but she only shrugged, not knowing what her mother was up to. He did what he was told anyway and moved closer to the older woman. He was startled when Yun Qingrong gave him a hug and patted his back gently.
"Our home is always open for you, Xiao Feng." She said before releasing him, knowing he was feeling awkward by the sudden skin contact. Lu Qingfeng would only tolerate Su Xiaofei touching him and no one else.
"There wouldn't be an Aunty Liu to remind you to eat your meals on time, so you have to look after yourself. Ask your butler if you think you need help to keep track of your meals. In case you suffer from another bad episode of insomnia, just drive here anytime, and I'll ask Feifei to accompany you."
"Mom, I'm going to be jealous now. In case you're forgetting, I'm your child, not Xiao Feng." Su Xiaofei harrumphed, crossing her arms at her midsection. Of course, she was only joking. She only wanted her mother to forget her adoptive father, the cheating bastard.
