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

Lu Qingfeng sighed inwardly, admitting that what Song Yiran said had made sense. He was the leader and the youngest of their brotherhood and yet, he was the one who tied the knot first amongst them.

"My in-laws will be staying with us for a few days. I won't be able to meet any of you until next weekend." He replied. He knew that he couldn't delay the meeting with the rest of their brotherhood and introduce Su Xiaofei, now that they were aware of his marriage. At least Song Yiran had given him a heads up so he could prepare ahead of time.

"That's fine. Just set the schedule and they will make time for it." Song Yiran assured him.

Once he hung up the call, Lu Qingfeng found his wife looking at him with curiosity.

"What's wrong? Song Yiran trying to invite you out again?" It wasn't the first time anyway.

Lu Qingfeng grunted. "Yes and they want me to bring you with me."

Su Xiaofei blinked at that. They? What did Lu Qingfeng mean by that? Was Song Yiran bringing some friends with him? Although she was sure that Lu Qingfeng was quite close with Song Yiran, she wasn't certain how deep their connections were.

"Take a seat, Feifei. You don't need to stand there." Lu Qingfeng suggested.

She took a seat next to him and waited for his explanation. She noticed that he was a bit uncomfortable on his seat while he tried to find the right words to explain what was going on.

"A couple of our friends are planning to come to Qiying City to meet you, since I have failed to invite them to our wedding. I hope you'll be able to make time next weekend, Feifei. Preferably in the afternoon." He told her.

Su Xiaofei gave her husband a long stare, wondering if she had heard him right. Actually, Lu Qingfeng looked a little bashful, as if asking her to free some time to meet his friends was a big deal for him.

Friends, he said. Obviously, that was something important they couldn't miss. Just who were these 'friends' Song Yiran was bringing with him? Su Xiaofei was curious now. Aside from Song Yiran and Xi Qian, she had never seen him interact with others in a friendly way.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

She remained silent and was reminded that she and her husband had been separated for years. It was only natural for him to make acquaintances during his stay in Shenjing. It was impossible for him not to meet new people while he was there, right?

Lu Qingfeng had only mentioned that he went out at night with a few acquaintances and Song Yiran. Were they the same people she was about to meet then?

Thinking about it, during her time as a ghost, she had seen a few men visit Lu Qingfeng at the Yun Mansion after her death, aside from Song Yiran. She supposed that he had only recently gotten acquainted with them.

Su Xiaofei was happy to know that Lu Qingfeng was starting to open himself up to other people aside from her. He might not have invited his friends to their wedding for her sake. Still, it was a pity that she wasn't able to meet them sooner. If Lu Qingfeng made friends with them, then surely, they were at least decent people.

"I see. I will make sure to remind Zhang Ling to clear my schedule for that day. Do we need to host the meeting or will we be meeting them somewhere else?" She asked.

Lu Qingfeng stared at her face, surprised that she was taking the news lightly. Su Xiaofei wasn't a person who liked to socialize and make friends like him anyway. Even when they were younger, she would rather stay in a corner and pretend to ignore the lingering and curious looks others were giving them. Su Xiaofei liked to keep her circle small and intimate and that was fine with him.

"We're meeting at Song Yiran's place. You don't need to prepare anything, Feifei."

"That's not possible, dear. Wouldn't that mean Mrs. Lu is chickening out on her first task?" Su Xiaofei shook her head in defiance. "I'm meeting your friends for the first time, at least let me make an effort to leave a good impression on them. They must be upset that they weren't invited to our wedding."

Lu Qingfeng thought that his wife didn't need to make an effort, but seeing the determination in her eyes, could he really deny her?

"Fine, but if you are uncomfortable meeting them, you tell me right away, okay?"

"You are more nervous than I am, dear." Su Xiaofei chuckled at him, pointing out the obvious.

Lu Qingfeng didn't deny her claim and only looked away. His relationship with the brotherhood started out of his interest to make business connections with young, promising men he'd known and met in his previous life.

Each of them had different personalities, but he had to admit that they all got along well, albeit, their frequency of their meetings ever since he left Shenjing was significantly reduced.

The five of them were in different industries, but that didn't mean they couldn't help each other, expand their connections, and help each other excel in their chosen field. This was why even if Song Yiran had already parted with the Song family, he was still able to provide for himself without relying on his older brother's help.

"I'm just making sure not to put pressure on you, Feifei. I know that you have a lot on your plate these days."

That, Su Xiaofei couldn't refute. But it didn't mean she would willingly miss this chance to meet his acquaintances from Shenjing. She could see the apprehension in his eyes, which meant that he held these people with high regard and importance.

"It's fine. Nothing I can't deal with. If they are your friends from Shenjing, then that's more reason for me to meet them, right?"
