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

Su Xiaofei lightly squeezed her husband's hand to get his attention, not wanting for him to start a fight because of her. Wasn't it obvious that Lu Weisheng was trying to provoke her and Lu Qingfeng?

As to why he brought Qin Ying today, she could only surmise that they were trying to lure Lu Qingfeng into taking Qin Ying as his wife. It wasn't a secret anymore that Qin Ying liked her husband.

Su Xiaofei scoffed at that thought, as if she would willingly hand over her husband to another woman. She and Lu Qingfeng had already wasted a lifetime separated. Why would she allow another woman to come between them now?

The rest of the dinner went by with hushed tones and short conversations. Su Xiaofei ignored their occasional stares at her as she ate her meal in silence next to her husband. It wasn't like she was looking down on them, but at this point, she cannot allow anyone to think that she could easily be bullied.

Once everyone was done, Lu Qingfeng pulled her away from his relatives and brought her to the courtyard, aware of how everyone's eyes were on them as they left.

"Are you really sure that it's okay for me to be here? Seems like your uncle wants to rip you into a million pieces already." She grinned mischievously as she hooked her arm with his, seeking for warmth in this cold night.

"I doubt he has the ability to do that." He grimaced at the thought that he couldn't brag about her being his wife.

"Feifei, you agreed easily to Grandpa's request, but I really don't mind if everyone knows that we are married. Grandpa thinks that you could be a distraction for me, but no. It's the opposite, actually."

"I thought you've already talked about this with him, that's why I agreed to his request." Su Xiaofei frowned. She wouldn't have answered hastily if she knew that her husband was having different thoughts about it.

He cupped the side of her face and kissed her crown.

"I have every reason to assert my dominance over my succession in the family. Now that you are my wife, do you think I would allow anyone to bully you or to look down on you? A person who has someone to protect is more dangerous than a person who has nothing to lose."

"Then what do you suggest we do? I already gave Grandpa an answer, and I wouldn't like to offend him by taking back my word."

She looked up at him, her fingers lightly tracing his wedding ring on his hand. She noticed that she had never seen him remove it since their wedding day.

"Give me three months, Feifei. That's all I need. I'm about to succeed my grandfather soon. I'll make sure that everyone knows that you are my wife and no one could replace you."

Su Xiaofei blinked, her eyes shining with tears. She could feel her heartbeat racing from his words.

When she used to be married to Mo Yuchen in her previous life, she longed to hear these words from him. Throughout their marriage, she had been insecure, wanting nothing more than to have his attention only for her. However now, with Lu Qingfeng, she didn't need to ask or doubt his love for her because he would give it to her in a heartbeat.

Who would have thought that the person who would utter these words to her was the one who was always by her side for as long as she could remember?

For the longest time, Lu Qingfeng had been there for her, taking the role of the wind under her wings that gently pushed her to keep on going. Even now, when her mother was terribly sick, Su Xiaofei didn't know if she would be able to do just fine on her own without her husband's support.

Lu Qingfeng was startled, seeing her teary eyes. Did he say something that upset her?

"What's wrong? Is it too long for you?" He asked, thinking that she might misunderstand him yet again. "Sorry, Feifei. This is the earliest time frame I can promise you. Grandpa is planning to hand over the rest of the company to me in six months, but I don't think I can wait that long."

Instead of answering his question, Su Xiaofei wrapped her arms around his torso and buried her face in his chest. With her whole body pressed against his, it was obvious that he had changed so much over the five years they were away from each other.

Lu Qingfeng placed a hand on her small back and allowed her to seek comfort in his arms, even for just a moment. Between the two of them, he was more likely to seek her for comfort and physical touch compared to her.

"Would it be silly for me to say that I love you more each day?" She grumbled against his chest.

Lu Qingfeng tried to take a look at her face, but Su Xiaofei insisted on hiding her blushing face from him.

"Ah, could you repeat that, Mrs. Lu? I couldn't seem to hear what you have just said." He replied with a teasing tone.

Su Xiaofei lightly hit his chest, lifted her head and glowered at him, which only reminded Lu Qingfeng of a cat whose tail was being stepped on.

"So, no three months limit?" He asked. If she didn't agree with his request, he would need to negotiate the agreement with his grandfather later.

"No, it's fine with me. I never really cared what others think of our union. As long as you are mine." She replied. Waiting for three months didn't bother her a bit compared to the whole lifetime Lu Qingfeng had spent for her.

Lu Qingfeng sighed in relief. Three months suddenly felt too long for him to announce their marriage. He couldn't wait to be seen with her in public, allowing everyone to know that she was his wife.
