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

Seeing that it was pointless to talk to Su Xiaofei, now that Lu Qingfeng was here to defend her, Mo Yuchen decided to leave and return to the party. He didn't want to pursue his thinking when it came to Su Xiaofei any longer.

Once he left, Su Xiaofei finally lifted her left hand and cupped one side of Lu Qingfeng's face, taking his attention away from Mo Yuchen. The warmth she felt from it, only proving that the man standing next to her was, indeed, Lu Qingfeng and her mind wasn't deceiving her right now.

There had been times when she dozed off thinking of hearing Lu Qingfeng's voice, only to wake up alone on her bed, feeling more restless than ever. It also didn't help that his grandfather went radio silent on news about his condition.

"You are back!" She murmured, her eyes shining with tears as she tried to stop it from falling.

Her eyes were passionately burning to the point where she didn't want to look away, in fear of the possibility that Lu Qingfeng would disappear again.

Lu Qingfeng took her hand from his face and placed a chaste kiss on her palm, his gaze softening as he looked at her. He held back the strong urge to kiss her and trapped her in a tight hug after their long separation.

"I'm sorry, I was late. Something has been keeping me occupied these days." He apologized sincerely. "But how could I miss my chance to greet the birthday girl on her own birthday?"

Su Xiaofei's eyes widened. By now, it should be past midnight already, indicating that it was her twenty-fourth birthday. To think that Lu Qingfeng had chosen to return to her side on her birthday brought immense happiness in her heart. This was the best birthday gift she could receive today.

"So you remembered?" She smiled, hooking her arms with his before resting her head against him. "But it's good that you are back."

At the age of twenty-one, Lu Qingfeng was far from the young lad that left to Shenjing years ago. Now, he was towering over her at 183 cm, which would make it hard for others to believe that he was younger than her. A little more and he would be as striking and as handsome a man as the twenty-five-year-old Lu Qingfeng that Su Xiaofei met on her deathbed.

Lu Qingfeng gave her one of his rare smiles and led her back inside, eager to meet the Ouyang family who invited him today.

"Did you come here because of the invitation you received, or did you come here to see me?" Su Xiaofei asked curiously.

"Both." Lu Qingfeng didn't dare to lie. "Since I have also been invited here, it's only natural for me to show up and greet them, right?"

In the end, Su Xiaofei didn't have a choice but to go back to the party with Lu Qingfeng by her side. She was now aware of how the other guests stopped whatever they were doing to look at her and Lu Qingfeng. Some even fell in a daze, thinking that she and Lu Qingfeng looked more dazzling than any of the stars present tonight.This chapter is updated by (f)ire

A few words had been said, but Su Xiaofei didn't quite hear them clearly, nor was she bothered to know what they were. She could also feel sharp gazes thrown her way, but as soon as she turned her head, it would immediately disappear, making her wonder if it was there in the first place.

Lu Qingfeng didn't waste his time and went to greet the Ouyang family, apologizing for his tardiness. Master Ouyang and his sons easily dismissed his apology, but avoided questioning him for answers about the issue that involved him lately.

"Still not used to being here?"

Lu Qingfeng's sudden question surprised Su Xiaofei. He took a seat next to her and eyed the glass of champagne she was drinking with narrowed eyes. If he was right, Su Xiaofei still doesn't have a high tolerance for alcohol, just like in their previous life. Su Xiaofei would act crazy whenever she was under the influence of alcohol. It was for this reason that she was almost intoxicated by it during Xi Qian's 18th birthday.

"Don't drink too much. I don't want Aunty Qing to scold me when I bring you home." He told her, giving her a look, gesturing for her not to drink too much tonight.

"Not planning to get drunk." Su Xiaofei swirled her drink and contemplated if she should question him about the accident a week ago.

"I heard from Zhang Ling that you are flying with Tang Liyan next week for a makeup endorsement she received. Be careful, Feifei. I heard that the Golden Star's Queen, Bai Qingyue, would be there too." Lu Qingfeng added.

Su Xiaofei nodded as she looked seriously at him, pondering how much he knew about her over the past five years they weren't together.

"It's unfair, Lu Qingfeng. You have Zhang Lan and Zhang Ling to feed you information from time to time." She grumbled as she drank the champagne in her glass in one go. Lu Qingfeng didn't need to inform her of it, because she knew that her birth mother would also be there to face her and Tang Liyan.

Wouldn't this also mean that Lu Qingfeng wasn't ashamed to admit that he was looking after her all of these years through the Zhang siblings?

"It's impossible to avoid confrontation like this. I could only endure and be more ruthless than ever if I want to protect my mother and the employees that rely on Bluemedia." She sighed, thinking that the further she and the Bluemedia advanced, the more enemies and opponents they would face in the future.

Being popular was also a terrifying thing.. It was a double-edged sword not many people would think of. How could she forget how the media played a great role in ruining her reputation and life by publishing fake news during the time Lu Qingfeng was in a deep coma?
