Chapter 197 - What Part Of Him Is Good? (1)
"Aiya, how can I decline Xiao Fei\'s invitation? I also know how important this banquet is for your mother." Chairman Lu? said in response, his calm and collected attitude contrasted the temper he had in the past as a demanding and ruthless devil of the business society years ago.
Looking at him, Su Xiaofei thought that perhaps Lu Qingfeng had somewhat taken his personality after his grandfather, who raised him from the moment his parents died.
Compared to the older men whom Su Xiaofei met in the past, Chairman Lu had the most gentle personality and was a very charismatic person. He was a chubby old man who always had a smile on his face and when he laughed. Su Xiaofei was reminded of Santa Claus whenever he laughed.
Chairman Lu also treated her like she was his own granddaughter. He had once mentioned that because of the family feud that led to his sons\' deaths, he regretted not having a granddaughter he could spoil.
In her past life, before she married Mo Yuchen and the Lu family had already moved to Shenjing, she received a phone call from Chairman Lu, informing herthat Lu Qingfeng was in a deep coma. Su Xiaofei had visited them weekly, forcing to schedule her visitation despite her busy schedule at work.
However, when she married Mo Yuchen and moved back to Qiying City to start a family with him, Su Xiaofei lost all her connections to the Lu family. Perhaps it was because Chairman Lu was upset with her decision to marry Mo Yuchen and was aware of the feelings his grandson had for her.
"Still, let me thank you, grandpa. Next time, I\'ll make sure to be the one to visit you." Su Xiaofei beamed a wide smile to the old man. She was really glad that she was given a chance to live again and appreciate the love and concern that the people around her were giving her. The same ones she had taken advantage of and dismissed in the past.
"Alright. I\'ll be expecting you then." The old man said before entering the backseat of his car, leaving Lu Qingfeng behind with Su Xiaofei.
It\'s already past midnight and the night has become colder. Now, dressed with her home clothes with a thick coat keeping her from the coldness of the night, Su Xiaofei\'s breath fogged in front of her as she wrapped her arms around her midsection.
"You should return now, Xiaofei. You had a long day." Lu Qingfeng said, noticing the slight shiver on her.
"Hmm… I\'ll send you off first. You are the last one to leave." Su Xiaofei said in a teasing tone.
Although she still felt a little awkward and shy about the kiss they shared earlier, the feeling of warmth in her heart overshadowed it. Su Xiaofei didn\'t know why she was acting silly in front of Lu Qingfeng now.
Seeing that she wasn\'t willing to leave yet, Lu Qingfeng sighed inwardly.
"Fine. I\'m leaving." He said, and at once, Nine opened the door of the backseat of the car for him. "Don\'t stay too long out here and get inside. I don\'t want to be responsible if you fall sick again."
After what happened earlier, Lu Qingfeng didn\'t want to part from her yet. Even now, he could still feel the softness of her lips on his. It had been a mistake on his part for kissing her, because now, he was addicted to her taste and wanted more from her.
Su Xiaofei nodded and watched him leave with Nine. Once the car he rode left the Yun Estate, she hurriedly ran inside as she clutched the coat tighter around her. The moment she closed the doors behind her, she found Yun Xiang at the bottom of the staircase, still in his tux.
"Brother Xiang." She said in a greeting, although she wanted nothing but to jump into the comfort of the bed and forget her worries.
Yun Xiang had this same conflicted look on his face, as if Su Xiaofei was an enigma he had yet to understand.
"Xiao Fei, are you and Lu Qingfeng dating?" Yun Xiang asked, which immediately made Su Xiaofei frown.
Whether or not she and Lu Qinfeng were dating was her own matter and not any of Yun Xiang\'s business. If anything, the only people who can ask her this question were her mother and Xi Qian as she had promised them.
"Brother Xiang, do I really need to answer this?" She furrowed her brow, her eyes flashing with dissatisfaction towards Yun Xiang. She briefly wondered if he also acted like this in front of Ye Mingyu in private in her past life.
Su Xiaofei didn\'t like Yun Xiang\'s approach in trying to get closer to her, and while it\'s true that she was taking advantage of his \'kindness\', the things he had done towards her in her past life were still not forgotten.
"Xiao Feng is a good man." She continued when Yun Xiang didn\'t say anything. \'Way too good compared to you and Mo Yuchen.\'
"What part of him is good? Is he treating you well?" He inquired.
Su Xiaofei looked at his confused eyes, and it dawned on her why he was asking her these questions.
\'Hey now. Don\'t be stupid and catch feelings for me, dear cousin.\' Su Xiaofei left these words unspoken, but it was clear that she was dissatisfied with Yun Xiang\'s probing questions.
"He treats me way better than anyone else." She said with confidence.
In this world, there was no other man who could topple Lu Qingfeng\'s love for her.
