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

Chapter 169 - Asking For A Favor (1)

If it was before, Xi Qian wouldn't feel like she was third wheeling whenever she was with Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng, now, it was glaring obvious to her. Xi Qian couldn't help but notice that something had changed between the two recently, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Was she seeing things or the smiles of these two were really blinding as if they could only see each other and nothing else around them? Wasn't this what people looked like when they were in love?

'Wait. Don't tell me they are together now?' Xi Qian thought, but she already dismissed it. Su Xiaofei should have informed her already if there was a change in status between her and Lu Qingfeng.

Su Xiaofei wouldn't keep her in the dark when it comes to her relationship. She was the first one to know when Feifei had fallen for Mo Yuchen before, and she had expected that Feifei would tell her if she was seeing someone already, whether it was this little tyrant in front of her or not.

Still, it wasn't lost to Xi Qian how close these two were recently. She had also noticed the slight blush on her best friend's face when Lu Qingfeng was whispering something to her, and how this little tyrant was extra attentive towards Feifei.

When did it start, anyway? She wondered. Was it because she was a little busy from her part-time job that she had failed to notice the changes between the two?

'There's definitely something going on.' Xi Qian narrowed her eyes in suspicion. Perhaps she needed to have a heart-to-heart talk with Su Xiaofei later to find out what was going on between her and Lu Qingfeng.

"I have the responsibility to feed you now?" Lu Qingfeng repeated what Su Xiaofei had just said. "Why couldn't you just tell me that you don't want to spend money? Since when did our Su Xiaofei know how to be frugal?" He questioned her. How can he not know what was going on in her devious mind?

Su Xiaofei bit her tongue and laughed awkwardly. She didn't know that she was that obvious. Actually, because her mind was constantly thinking of raising the 100 million she needed, she had been racking her brain for ways to earn it.

How would she have the heart to spend money when she knew that she required more? Thankfully, most of her necessities such as food and clothing were provided by her mother, but her savings were almost non-existent the moment she was reborned, leaving her feeling helpless.

Now that she was aware of her financial situation, the allowances she received from her mother automatically went to her savings account.

She had also considered taking up a part-time job like Qian, but she knew that her mother wouldn't allow her to do so. She was a young miss of a wealthy family, what would others say if she did menial work like the rest?

Although there was nothing wrong with doing such jobs, people would naturally judge her mother for allowing her to lower herself to earn a few bucks that won't be as much as her daily allowance.

"Aiya, so you know. You are no fun, Xiao Feng." She sighed. "Guess I have to find someone who wouldn't find it taxing to feed me."

"Who said I won't treat you? It's just treating and feeding you snacks. Let's go. Nine and I found a new place that you and Xi Qian may like recently." Lu Qingfeng said as he took Su Xiaofei's hand.

Xi Qian rolled her eyes at the absurdity of the scene in front of her. Lu Qingfeng knew that he couldn't win against Feifei, but he still dared to question her like this. Xi Qian then thought that a love bug could really make a person crazy.

Su Xiaofei giggled as she allowed Lu Qingfeng to lead the way. She called Xi Qian over her shoulder. It was rare for Xi Qian to see her best friend happy. Was she happy because Lu Qingfeng won against Cai Lin today, or was there some other reason behind it?

"Qian, you don't have to work today, right? Can you join us?"

Xi Qian thought for a moment. If she didn't accompany these two, wouldn't it be like they were on a date? Her eyes then shifted to Lu Qingfeng's form.

She had to admit that this little tyrant had changed somehow. Lu Qingfeng hadn't provoked her in weeks and had been agreeable at times. Although Xi Qian couldn't say that she could consider him as a friend, she could at least say that his presence wasn't as annoying as before.

Just like Feifei, Lu Qingfeng's attitude seemed calmer recently. He never made any attempt to annoy her, nor did he trick Su Xiaofei to abandon her like he used to do, which was already suspicious for Xi Qian. It was like Lu Qingfeng was tolerating her.

She supposed that if that was the case, this meant that this little tyrant was changing his strategy to win Feifei's heart.

'Well, that isn't a bad idea.' Xi Qian thought. Simply standing beside Su Xiaofei and doing nothing won't take him anywhere.

Now that Mo Yuchen was out of the picture, Xi Qian was aware that Lu Qingfeng wouldn't waste his time and would force Su Xiaofei to notice him.

Between him and Mo Yuchen, Xi Qian would rather not choose either of the two for her best friend, but seeing how attentive Lu Qingfeng was now, and how he was willing to compromise, then perhaps she should wait and see how the relationship between him and Su Xiaofei would develop.

"En. I don't mind trying something new today." She replied to Su Xiaofei, not willing to leave her best friend just yet with this little tyrant. Who knew what this young man was plotting behind her back.. It would be best to keep an eye on Lu Qingfeng.
