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

"Feifei, darling, you need to wake up."

Su Xiaofei groaned and tried to cover her face with one hand, eager to get more sleep, but Lu Qingfeng's voice sounded happy and nervous at the same time. Just what was going on? She wondered as she grunted and cracked her eyes open.

"What is it?" She asked, trying to blink away her sleepiness to focus on what her husband was telling her. She felt refreshed from her nap, but Su Xiaofei wasn't sure how long she had been sleeping.

"Mother is finally awake and she's looking for you." Lu Qingfeng told her. "You wouldn't want to keep her waiting, right?"

That was enough to jolt Su Xiaofei up. Was she still dreaming or did her husband just say that her mother was awake now?

"What?" She exclaimed, turning her head to look at her mother, her eyes widening as she saw Yun Qingrong's smiling face looking at her.

"Now, now, Xiao Feng. I told you to let Feifei sleep more." Yun Qingrong said to her son-in-law before meeting her daughter's gaze.

"Why, hello, President Su. Glad to meet you again. How's your sleep? Sufficient, I hope?"

"Mama…" Su Xiaofei whispered with widened eyes. Her tears fell uncontrollably down her face as she stared at Yun Qingrong in disbelief.

How many times did she imagine what would happen if her mother woke up from her coma? The words she tried to memorize for this day were already forgotten as the feeling of shock, hope and love washed through her.

"I'm not dreaming?" She said to no one as her sight became blurry with tears.

This can't be a dream, right? It would be truly awful if this was just another trick of her imagination.

From the corner of her eye, she could see Lu Qingfeng smiling at her brightly. Lu Qingfeng smiling… She could count on her fingers the many times she had seen Lu Qingfeng smile like this. It was a rare occurrence, even for Su Xiaofei. It was a smile that could only be seen on special occasions.

"No, dear. Why don't you come here and let me see you up close?" Yun Qingrong said, extending an arm to Su Xiaofei.

There was no breathing pipe attached to her anymore. The young doctor who came to check on Yun Qingrong excused himself to call the doctors that were assigned to her. She looked pale and her voice was a little hoarse.

Su Xiaofei slowly stood up. She didn't realize there was a light blue fleece blanket on her lap and only became aware of it when it fell to her feet. But she chose to ignore it and strode towards her mother in a hurry, throwing her arms around Yun Qingrong as she continued to weep.

Her mother was awake and alive. Yun Qingrong wasn't going to leave her. Not this time and not anytime soon.

"I miss you too, dear. I'm sorry for making you worry." Yun Qingrong said, kissing her daughter's crown, her eyes shining with tears.

She mouthed her thanks to Lu Qingfeng, who only nodded in response.

Su Xiaofei only parted from her mother when the doctors arrived to check on Yun Qingrong's condition. Yan Mei had already notified the rest of the Yun family, so Su Xiaofei expected that her uncles would be joining them here soon.

She went to her husband and wrapped her arms around him and sobbed quietly.

"I thought you would be happy." Lu Qingfeng hummed, allowing his wife to seek comfort in him.

"These are happy tears." She muttered, her arms tightening around him. She was beyond happy and couldn't contain all of it.

"Then I'm glad."

Now that Yun Qingrong was awake, it had no doubt removed the heavy pressure on their shoulders, especially for Su Xiaofei. After weeks of waiting, Lu Qingfeng was glad that he would be able to see his wife genuinely happy again.

It didn't take long and the whole room was buzzing with people as the Yun family arrived and celebrated Yun Qingrong's recovery. Everyone was happy to see her. Even the old general had come and shed a few tears as he gave his daughter a tight hug.

"I'm so glad that you are awake now." Yan Mei told Yun Qingrong. "You gave all of us quite a scare when you suddenly fell into a coma. I have never seen Feifei cry so much."

"I'm sorry, dear," Yun Qingrong replied as she gently kissed Su Xiaofei's temple, who refused to leave her side once the doctors left. "I didn't want you to make you worry."The source of this content is N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

"It's alright, Mama. What's important is you are here with us now."

Now that Yun Qingrong was awake, the doctors were certain that she was on her road to full recovery. Although she still needed to stay at the hospital for another week and continue with her treatments, Yun Qingrong would live.

When the rest of the family left, it was already past midnight. Su Xiaofei had fallen asleep next to her mother, leaving Yun Qingrong in Lu Qingfeng's company.

Yun Qingrong rested a hand over her daughter's head and smiled. It didn't matter if Su Xiaofei was already a grownup, because she would still be Yun Qingrong's precious baby.

"She must be really exhausted." She commented, before glancing at Lu Qingfeng who had occupied the seat next to her bed. "You too."

"It's okay, Mother."

"No, it's not." Yun Qingrong shook her head. "The last thing I want is to burden you and Feifei. I cannot imagine how scared Feifei was when I fell into a coma."

Lu Qingfeng said nothing. Perhaps Yun Qingrong was lucky that she wasn't able to witness it. Just remembering Su Xiaofei's reaction during those hard times was enough to break his heart.

"Is it true then? That it was Bai Qingyue who saved my life?"

Lu Qingfeng stared at her in shock. None of them had informed her about the identity of her donor. Was Bai Qingyue right back then when she said that Yun Qingrong was able to hear them in her unconscious state?

"I heard her pleading to me." Yun Qingrong answered his unspoken question. "I hear her telling me to live for Feifei's sake. There were times when I slipped in and out of consciousness, but I couldn't wake up. I just heard voices, but that too was very limited."

Lu Qingfeng didn't dare to question her. Heck, he and Su Xiaofei had undergone rebirth and something like this was surely possible. It was just hard for him to understand how all of it works, but he surmised that even a person like him wouldn't be able to understand most of it.

"I can't really explain it. It felt surreal, but I know that it really happened. I feel like my heart is really at peace now and I'm ready to face the world again. You don't know how happy I am that I still have a chance to spend more time with you. I guess I really owe Miss Bai one."

She paused and beckoned Lu Qingfeng to come closer. He hesitated for a moment, but eventually did what he was asked. Suddenly, Yun Qingrong pulled him into an awkward embrace.

Lu Qingfeng went rigid, but didn't pull away. He still had some physical aversion to other people other than his wife. It had been so long since his parents had died in a car crash, but how they treated him had left lingering effects his whole life. He had never thought that he would be able to open his heart again for anyone, not until he met Su Xiaofei.

"It must have been hard for you too, Xiao Feng." Yun Qingrong said. "I'm sorry."

"Mother and Feifei need me. How can I turn a blind eye and not help at all?"

Thankfully, Yun Qingrong released him, much to Lu Qingfeng's relief, but one of her hands rested on the side of his face now. He looked at her confusedly.

"That doesn't change the fact that I made you worry. I care about you, Xiao Feng. Even if you and Feifei didn't end up being together. You are like a son to me."

Lu Qingfeng said nothing and hid the slight blush on his cheeks. He didn't think he would ever get used to it.

"Now that you and Feifei have one less problem, maybe you can have a proper honeymoon now. I cannot wait to hold your babies if you plan to have one."

"Ah, about that… Feifei and I decided to postpone it for now."

He didn't have the heart to break the news to his mother-in-law. Even if Su Xiaofei never said it, Lu Qingfeng knew that she hadn't gotten over the trauma of losing her child in their previous life. She had once mentioned to him before she died that Mo Yuchen killed a part of her when he forced her to abort their unborn child.
