Chapter 90 - I Want To Become A Cat Lady! (2)
Lu Qingfeng knew that this third life might be his final chance to court Su Xiaofei. Since he was utterly defeated in his previous lives, he supposed he needed to change his tactics to win her heart. He needed to be proactive and ingrain himself in Su Xiaofei's life until she accepted that she could never live without him and that she needed him in her life.
He could see the confusion and fear reflected in her eyes, but he needed to make a stance now, or she would once again ignore him in the future in favor of Mo Yuchen. There was no way he would allow it to happen again.
Lu Qingfeng knew that Mo Yuchen wouldn't easily accept the nullification of his engagement with Su Xiaofei, but it didn't mean he would stay still and do nothing, now that Feifei hated that wretched man.
In this lifetime, he would be sure to win Su Xiaofei's heart no matter what.
"Come on, don't dilly-dally for too long, Feifei. I'm not asking you to accept me right away. I'm just making my intentions clear to you now." He stepped forward and cupped the side of her face, forcing her to look at him, only at him.
"If you feel sad, distressed, or feel like there's no one in this world who can understand you, feel free to call my name and I will come to you immediately. It doesn't matter how far we are from each other, I will surely find a way to be with you. As long as we trust each other, there's no need for you to fear anything, Feifei. This is why it's fine for things to remain as they are for now. The only thing I wish is for you not to deny me so soon."
Su Xiaofei didn't notice that her eyes had turned misty. Such sweet words that she had never heard from anyone, even from her own husband in her previous life. How can she not be moved by the sincerity of Lu Qingfeng's words?
The twenty five-year-old Lu Qingfeng who professed his undying love to her by her deathbed in her past life, and this young Lu Qingfeng in front of her was almost the same.
"You still have enough years to consider and see what your heart truly desires at your own pace, and it's fine, as long as you don't dilly-dally with indecision. You have to know one cannot wait for too long, though, Xiaofei. It's tiring. But if it's you, I'm willing to wait for a few more years until you are ready to face and accept what's in your heart."
He understood that the remorse she still bore from her last life was deeply ingrained in her heart, that no matter how much he wanted to love her, her resentment towards Mo Yuchen and Ye Mingyu would forbid her to seek the happiness she also deserved in this lifetime.
How can he allow that to happen? For him, denying Su Xiaofei's happiness was tantamount to stabbing his own heart. In this world, no matter how badly others perceive this woman, Su Xiaofei should be the one to inflict damage unto others and not the other way around!
Lu Qingfeng also knew how prideful she was, not willing to ask for his help on her quest for revenge. Even if he offered his everything right now, he knew that it would be pointless because Su Xiaofei would rather do everything by herself.
He closed and zipped his luggage and took his school bag that was on the armchair. He hooked its strap over his shoulder and eyed Su Xiaofei, who was still seated on top of his bed, still in a trance.
"I'm leaving. Aren't you going to see me off, Feifei?" He called out.
That brought Su Xiaofei back to reality. She hurriedly slipped out of the bed and wore her home slippers, and followed him outside. They walked next to each other, but the silence was killing Lu Qingfeng. He wanted to tell her to calm down and not to overthink, but he already told her what she needed to know. It's up to her if she would give him a chance or deny him once more, just like she did in the past.
Nine was waiting for them downstairs, and he immediately took Lu Qingfeng's luggage and left at once to give the two some privacy. He wasn't that dumb to notice that something had change between his young master and the Young Miss Su.
Su Xiaofei walked with Lu Qingfeng until they reached the front door. She found herself unable to say anything after hearing such a confession from the young man next to her.
"Xiao Feng…," she started, but he shook his head, informing her that she didn't need to give her answer immediately.
Instead, Lu Qingfeng took her hand into his, giving it a light squeeze to assure her.
"You trust me, right?" He asked, his eyes never leaving hers.
"En."
"Then that's enough for me for now. Do whatever you need to do, but don't forget I'm here for you." He repeated his words earlier.
"O-okay." If he put it that way, what else could Su Xiaofei say?
"Until then, take care of yourself." He said, flicking her forehead lightly with his other hand.
"Oww." Su Xiaofei glared at him as she touched her forehead.
Lu Qingfeng was hesitant to release her hand, but he knew he needed to go before his grandfather returned home.
"I'll see you at school then. Don't forget to bring Aunty Liu's lunchboxes from now on. I'll be expecting my share." He reminded her as he was about to enter the car.
Su Xiaofei could only huff and watch as Lu Qingfeng's car drove away. She had only been reborned for a month, but many things had already happened.
"Feifei, your face is red. Are you feeling unwell? Get inside before you catch a cold.." Aunty Liu's words only reminded her of Lu Qingfeng's words earlier.
