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

Chapter 52 - If One Day No One Wants To Marry Me (2)

The next day, Su Xiaofei was reviewing her lessons in the garden alone, but her mind was still preoccupied with the conversation she had with Lu Qingfeng last night. It made sense to her why Lu Qingfeng persisted to be with her in her past life and why he held such intense feelings towards her.

Su Xiaofei felt a little guilty for making Lu Qingfeng wait for her, only for him to return and find her already married to Mo Yuchen in their past lives. Lu Qingfeng had visited her at the Mo Estate, and he had this complex expression that Su Xiaofei couldn't explain at all when she saw him.

So it turned out that Lu Qingfeng had loved her all those years they were growing up together, and it didn't help that she had forced him to make a promise of marriage with her.

'He must have been upset, but couldn't do anything about it.' Su Xiaofei thought.

Since she married Mo Yuchen in her past life, Lu Qingfeng had stayed away from her at a safe distance, never talking to her unless he needed to, nor wanting her to talk about her life as a married woman in front of him. It must have been hard for Lu Qingfeng to accept that she was another man's wife and not his.

'How insensitive I was back then.' Su Xiaofei sighed to herself. She couldn't blame Lu Qingfeng for acting like that in the past as she was the one who caused him pain beyond words.

She cupped her chin and looked down at her handwritten notes, but none of it made sense to her. She wondered how she should deal with Lu Qingfeng now.

Lu Qingfeng sounded like he was joking last night, but Su Xiaofei knew that he wasn't. Only fifteen, but he had already set his eyes on her. Unless he met another woman that could overshadow her in his heart, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't willingly part from her.

If she took back and claimed that the promise they made was just a joke, Su Xiaofei feared that it would only hurt him.

She rubbed her temple and sighed for the umpteenth time today. Lu Qingfeng surely knew how to mess with her stupid brain. She wasn't sure who was more foolish between the two of them. She, who had fallen into Mo Yuchen's scheme and forgot the promise she made with Lu Qingfeng, or him, who remained single throughout his life, loving her until his last breath.

Su Xiaofei would be lying if she said that she wasn't moved by his dedication and loyalty. However, she wasn't sure how she should deal with his growing feelings towards her just yet.

'We still have five years.' Lu Qingfeng reminded her.

Yes. She still had five years to make the decision on whether she should fulfill the promise she made with him or not. Three years from now, Lu Qingfeng will leave the country to pursue his studies overseas. In her past life, he didn't come back until he was twenty-one, and she was twenty-four and was married to Mo Yuchen for a year then.

Su Xiaofei closed her notebook, realizing that it was pointless for her to study if her mind wasn't on it. She leaned on her back as she pondered if she should leave the issue unresolved for now. She and Lu Qingfeng were still young and if in the future, Lu Qingfeng raised the issue again, Su Xiaofei should have made a decision by then.

"Feifei, there's mail that arrived for you." Aunty Liu came into the garden, holding a box in her arms, and placed it on top of the table in front of Su Xiaofei.

"Thanks, Aunty. Sorry for troubling you today." She said in response. Finally, the dress she ordered the other day came just in time. Su Xiaofei had been worried that she wouldn't be able to use it if it arrived too late.

The old woman gave her a worried look, wondering why she ordered a counterfeit dress of a popular designer brand online. They both knew that the law in their country was harsh to those who sell and possess counterfeit products such as this. If they were found, not only would they be sued in court, but they would also spend a good time behind bars, effectively ruining their name and their reputation in public.

"Feifei… why did you buy something like this?" Aunty Liu asked her worriedly. Thankfully, she was the one who received it from the courier earlier, because if it was another servant from their household, Aunty Liu was worried that they would immediately report their young miss to the authorities.

"Don't worry, Aunty. It's not mine. I bought it for a specific reason that I can't disclose to you yet." Su Xiaofei said, feeling a bit guilty that Aunty Liu caught her in the middle of her scheme.

"Just be careful, Feifei. Don't let anyone find out you have this in your possession." Aunty Liu said.

"En, Aunty. Thank you for your concern." She replied, before watching the old woman go, leaving her in peace again.

Now that her mother had decided to get rid of the Chen family from their household, Su Xiaofei needed to rush things and give Chen Li a parting gift. Su Xiaofei still hadn't forgotten how that shameless woman ruined her name and reputation in public by using her personal things.

'Chen Li, since you like that little black dress that much, you can have it.'

That little black dress was bought for her by Yun Qingrong from a popular designer brand in Shenjing, but Su Xiaofei never wore it. Chen Li took a liking to that dress in the past and liked to brag about it to her friends.

Before Chen Li would leave this household with her mother, Su Xiaofei was sure that the young woman would attempt to steal that dress.
