Chapter 33 - Little Tyrant (1)

These were the words Su Xiaofei unconsciously retained in her mind without knowing she had heard it from Lu Qingfeng. That was right, she can\'t allow herself to die this early if she decided to seek revenge on those who wronged her in her past life.

She shouldn\'t put her own life at stake like this again, as the probability of ending up being dead was higher than getting the revenge that she wanted.

Lu Qingfeng continued his vigil, watching over Su Xiaofei. When dawn arrived, he was still wide awake, his mind seemingly elsewhere as he looked over Su Xiaofei\'s sleeping face.

By the time Yun Qingrong stirred from her sleep and cracked an eye open, she found Lu Qingfeng standing next to the window, staring out absentmindedly.

"Xiao Feng?" She called out, getting the young man\'s attention. "Don\'t you want to get some rest?"

Yun Qingrong glanced at the time at the night stand and saw that it was already six in the morning. She hadn\'t realized that she was too tired and overslept.

Lu Qingfeng faced her and gave her a slight smile.

"It\'s alright, Aunty Qing. I couldn\'t sleep anyway." He replied. "Xiaofei didn\'t break into another fever, which is good."

Yun Qingrong sighed in relief. She then gently touched her daughter\'s forehead to make sure that Su Xiaofei wasn\'t really burning up.

"It\'s my turn to look after her, but before that, let me make you some breakfast." She said as she slipped out quietly from the bed, not wanting to wake her sick daughter.

"Are you going to sleep in the guestroom or do you want to go home?" She asked.

"I want to go back home to change my clothes, then I\'ll come back and stay here for a while, Aunty, that is, if you don\'t mind." Lu Qingfeng replied truthfully.

"You are really such a good kid, Xiao Feng. Your parents would be proud of you if they were still alive." The old woman laughed, not noticing the darkness that appeared in Lu Qingfeng\'s eyes upon mentioning his parents.

Lu Qingfeng didn\'t respond to that, instead he turned his gaze out the window. Whether it was in the past or in the future, Lu Qingfeng had never mentioned anything about his deceased parents, as if he intended to bring the secret to his grave.

Yun Qingrong left her daughter\'s bedroom, leaving her daughter in Lu Qingfeng\'s care. She went to her own room to wash up and found Aunty Liu downstairs, already preparing breakfast for their guests.

"Madam, how\'s Miss Feifei?" She asked Yun Qingrong after serving her mistress a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

"She\'s better now." Yun Qingrong replied, rubbing her temples as she realized that the events over the past few days were starting to take a toll on her health.

"Aunty Liu, I really don\'t know why all these are happening to my Feifei. She just got out of the hospital, and now she is injured. I feel like heaven is reminding me to prioritize my daughter instead of work."

Aunty Liu gave her a smile and gently coaxed her mistress to calm down.

"It\'s normal for you to get worried, Madam. She\'s your child, after all. I also think that Miss Feifei is more understanding these days and hasn\'t directly caused any trouble just to get your attention."

"Right. Now that you\'ve mentioned it, Aunty Liu. I also feel that my Feifei has suddenly grown up. A little more and I\'m afraid she wouldn\'t need her Mama in her life anymore."

"Aunty Qing shouldn\'t be talking like that. Feifei would be saddened if she knew what you are thinking now."

The two older women were slightly startled when Xi Qian spoke. They didn\'t even realize that she was there. Xi Qian, who had just come down, then joined Yun Qingrong at the table.

"Sorry, Aunty Qing. I didn\'t mean to overhear your conversation." The young woman apologized once she realized her mistake. It wasn\'t proper for her to interrupt when her elders were talking.

"It\'s okay, Qian. I\'m just worried about Feifei, that\'s all." Yun Qingrong patted Xi Qian\'s hand assuringly.

"Feifei also feels the same way, Aunty. Do you know why we ended up at that pharmacy yesterday, Aunty? It\'s because Feifei wanted to buy you some tonics. She must have felt that you\'ve been stressed and exhausted lately, which made her worried about your health. It was just we didn\'t expect that someone was after that old man\'s life…" Her words trailed off, remembering the scene clearly in her mind.

Xi Qian wasn\'t able to get enough sleep last night because of this. She suddenly realized that no matter how hard she tried to pretend that everything would be alright, she had no power to help her best friend at the time Su Xiaofei needed help the most.

\'I cannot allow this to happen again.\' She thought. She must find a way to help Su Xiaofei in the future, after all the things the latter did for her sake so far.

It didn\'t take long for Lu Qingfeng to join them for early breakfast. He eyed Xi Qian for a moment, pondering if he should fish out some information himself since she was the only current accessible witness of yesterday\'s incident, but seeing her distraught expression, he was reminded of Su Xiaofei\'s request for him to treat Xi Qian better.

Lu Qingfeng wasn\'t sure why Su Xiaofei made such a request. She must have known that he and Xi Qian didn\'t really get along well for some reason, and that reason was only known to the two of them.

However, none of them had voiced the reason for their annoyance towards each other and could only avoid meeting each other\'s eyes. If it wasn\'t for Su Xiaofei, Lu Qingfeng would have totally ignored Xi Qian altogether.

"Are you going to work today?" He suddenly asked Xi Qian, catching the young woman off guard.

"En…" Since they were in front of Yun Qingrong, Xi Qian wouldn\'t dare to argue with him.
