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

Chapter 3 - If You Were Mine (3)

Lu Qingfeng had decided to live in her mother's mansion and every night, he would return home and enter her bedroom, holding the photo of her as he slept. At first, Su Xiaofei was confused. She had never thought her death would affect Lu Qingfeng like this. She didn't understand why he chose not to move on after her death when she had already told him to do so.

He kept everything in her bedroom in the same spot she left them before her death, only allowing the servants to change the sheets of the bed where he slept at night. This continued, and Su Xiaofei had no other choice but to watch him as a ghost.

Another year had passed, and it was her birthday. Lu Qingfeng returned that night with her favorite blueberry cheesecake he had bought from her favorite pastry shop. He sang her a very happy birthday, but his eyes were misty as he stared at her photo.

Su Xiaofei wanted to ask him why, wanted to console him, but all she could do was watch the events unfold in front of her eyes.

Years later, she heard the news that her father and Ye Xing had died in a car accident, with Ye Mingyu eventually getting a divorce after years of blissful marriage with Mo Yuchen. Perhaps, it was because Lu Qingfeng had destroyed and taken everything from Mo Yuchen to the point that the latter never got the chance to recover.

Su Xiaofei didn't know what happened to her sister after that. Not that she was interested anyway. To think that she wasn't able to give them the fatal blow herself was something she regretted the most.

Lu Qingfeng didn't need to do all of these for her sake, but she would be a liar if she didn't admit that she wasn't moved by his efforts. No one but him had gone to that extent for her sake.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingfeng remained unmarried as he lived in Yun Mansion, accompanied by his trusted assistant and a few servants. Su Xiaofei couldn't understand why he never got married.

Why did he turn down all those young women who chased after him because of his otherworldly face that could topple the most popular actors in showbiz and his value as the wealthiest bachelor in the country?

He could get any woman he liked, and yet he chose to remain unmarried. Su Xiaofei thought that he was wasting his time grieving over her death. It had been years since she had died, but the listless eyes remained on Lu Qingfeng.

Su Xiaofei had never assumed that his feelings for her ran this deep, that even after her passing, Lu Qingfeng couldn't let go and move on with his life without her. Guilt consumed her entirety, but she was helpless and was unable to do anything for Lu Qingfeng.

Why couldn't he meet another woman who could sweep him and make him fall in love again? No matter how many women Lu Qingfeng met, none of them seemed to be able to catch his eye.

After years of succeeding the Lu Corporation, taking over several companies under his management, Lu Qingfeng became renowned for his wealth and became a mogul of the business world, which frightened many people.

But why did he choose to remain single even after her death? He had already sought vengeance for her. Wasn't this enough for him to move on?

"Idiot." Su Xiaofei said and sobbed as she looked at Lu Qingfeng who had chosen to keep himself busy with work than to join others at the celebration of Lu Corporation's founding anniversary.

The following year, Lu Qingfeng adopted a young boy, a distant relative of his, whose parents had died in an accident. Since he had already made up his mind not to marry in this lifetime, he had chosen to become a good father to someone else's child.

Lu Junjie was only five years old when Lu Qingfeng took him in. He had made sure to give the boy the best things he would need and raised him as his successor, much to Lu Qingfeng's other relatives' disappointment. None of them were willing to accept that Lu Qingfeng would rather take in a child than to choose one of them as his successor.

Su Xiaofei scoffed at that. It was because they were incompetent that Lu Qingfeng never considered them. However, everyone knew that Lu Qingfeng wasn't to be provoked. Although he was indeed good-looking and coveted by many women, not many would dare go near him.

Had he married and had a child of his own, none of this would matter. Su Xiaofei thought. She found it foolish for Lu Qingfeng to remain unmarried because of her. He still had a life to live after her death, why did he throw all those chances and choose to grieve her death to this day?

"If it isn't you, then I'd rather stay single for the rest of my life." He once said as he held her photo late at night. Lu Qingfeng had just turned down several marriage proposals and arrangements for him that day, insisting that none of the women would be able to capture his heart.

"My heart died along with you, Su Xiaofei." ????????n????e????d. co????

Su Xiaofei remained by Lu Qingfeng and the young boy's side for the following years, watching the boy grow up until he was old enough to succeed Lu Qingfeng. Even when Lu Qingfell fell sick, she remained on his side, watching as he refused to get treatments.

Finally, the day came and Su Xiaofei found herself standing next to Lu Qingfeng's deathbed. This man, who had devotedly loved her with all his might, remained faithful to her even after her passing, had made her heart ache terribly.

Lu Jinjie had become an outstanding man and a filial child towards Lu Qingfeng. At his adoptive father's funeral, his tears fell uncontrollably.. Next to him, Su Xiaofei stood, her eyes never leaving Lu Qingfeng's name.
