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

"What's that?" Su Xiaofei was momentarily startled when Lu Qingfeng came and took a seat across from her. He then glanced at the box on top of the table separating them and frowned upon seeing what it was when he took a peek at it.

"Feifei… this…"

"It is only a precautionary measure to ensure that I won't be implicated by someone badly in public." Su Xiaofei said in defense. "Say, Xiao Feng, wanna see something interesting tonight?"

Lu Qingfeng was staying with the Su family temporarily for a few days before his grandfather returned from his business trip overseas. This was a normal occurrence in the Su household since they were younger. Su Xiaofei would also do the same and stay with the Lu family whenever her parents were away and she was left alone with their housekeepers.

Lu Qingfeng gave her a suspicious look before sighing. It wasn't the first time he became Su Xiaofei's unwilling accomplice, anyway. The glint in Su Xiaofei's eyes was an indication that someone would surely suffer pain or humiliation later, and he wondered who was the pitiful human being who annoyed her this time.

"Fine, but don't blame me if Aunty Qing catches us later." He replied.

"She wouldn't." Su Xiaofei smirked in return. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

The silence that followed reminded Su Xiaofei of what they talked about last night.

"Are you upset that I reminded you of the silly promise we made last night?"

Lu Qingfeng's sudden question made her lift her gaze to look at his face.

Was she upset? No. More like, their conversation last night was like the missing puzzle that gave her a clearer view of what had happened in her past life.

Lu Qingfeng might be saying that it was a silly promise, but Su Xiaofei knew better. She knew how seriously he'd taken her words. Because if he didn't, he wouldn't have done the things he'd done in his past life, only to die with a grieving heart.

"No. Why would I be upset? I actually almost forgot about it." She admitted.

"You dare to forget about it?!" He gasped, as he looked at her in disbelief.

"Hey, that was unintentional, okay, and why did you bring it up anyway?" Su Xiaofei said in defense.

"It's precisely because I knew that you would forget about it. You are already robbing my chance to fool around with other women, how could you have the audacity to forget about it?"

Su Xiaofei chuckled at that. "We were just kids, Xiao Feng."

"So you mean to say you want to back out now? Don't forget, you are the one who initiated it."

The tone of Lu Qingfeng's voice almost made Su Xiaofei feel guilty. It was as if she had just offended him with her words.

When she made that promise with him years ago, she was indeed bothered by the fact that no one would love and marry her once she grew up. Only her Mama, Xiao Feng and Xi Qian were good to her, and the rest were mean in her opinion.

"No, it's not like that. I'm just thinking, instead of the age of twenty-three, why don't we change it until I'm old enough to marry?"

"If you are planning to get married at the same age your mother did, forget it. Who knows, maybe by that time, someone had already stolen your position as my bride." Lu Qingfeng said with a teasing voice.

"I don't mind." She replied with all honesty. She picked up her teacup and took a sip from it. "As long as you are happy with her, who am I to stop you from marrying another woman?"

Su Xiaofei wasn't paying attention to Lu Qingfeng's reaction, so she failed to notice that his eyes darkened and his jaws hardened at her answer.

"Then why did you say I should marry you once you turn twenty-three, back then?" He asked.

Su Xiaofei hummed and tried to remember what made her decide to marry at twenty-three, which obviously now was a little too young for her in her opinion.

"Because back then I was told that if I turned twenty-five and was still unmarried, I would become a spinster and be alone for the rest of my life. Of course, as a kid I took it seriously. Now, it didn't matter to me anymore. I would rather be a spinster throughout my whole life than marry and be with the wrong person."

"I see…" She heard Lu Qingfeng replied, but he didn't comment further on it. "So, about your new Jiejie…"

"She's not my Jiejie." Su Xiaofei gave him a pointed look. "She can't be part of this family."

"Do you hate her that much?" Lu Qingfeng asked curiously, seeing how annoyed she was upon the mention of Ye Mingyu.

"Hate her? Saying that I hate her is an understatement." She chuckled and looked away, not wanting Lu Qingfeng to see how much she really despised the woman who ruined her in her past life.

It was impossible for her and Ye Mingyu to reconcile now, and she didn't think that the crow would change its color to white overnight. The mere fact that Ye Mingyu had forced her to take on the role of the villainess, painted her black in front of everyone, while cunningly stealing everything from her, how could Su Xiaofei let Ye Mingyu off the hook so easily?

No matter how hard Ye Mingyu tried in this lifetime to pull the same tricks and schemes, Su Xiaofei would do her best not to walk into her trap ever again.

"Do you think they would come back?" Lu Qingfeng asked.

"They will. I don't think they would back down easily." Su Xiaofei laughed slowly. Knowing Ye Mingyu, she might already be concocting a new plan to convince Su Haoran to do something for her and her mother at the expense of Yun Qingrong. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

However, how could Su Haoran do that when the Yun family was now aware of Yun Qingrong's situation?
