Evil Wife Young Master Lu

Chapter 14: You Can't Die This Half

In the dark passageway of the Su Residence, which was only illuminated by the moon outside, only Lu Qingfeng's footsteps and Su Xiaofei's loud breaths sounded. Although Lu Qingfeng's age was younger, Su Xiaofei's towering height and stature were not bad at all. This made it easy to lift the figure of the smaller Su Xiaofei.

To the fifteen-year-old boy, Lu Qingfeng looked so mature that he could be mistaken for the age of Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian, with his tall stature and cold face. In a few more years, he will not only be an outstanding man in the business world, but also popular among both genders.

"Xiao Feng, I feel bad." Su Xiaofei said in a low voice, but he did not hear the answer from the young man who was hugging him.

"Xiao Feng, are you crazy? Jie didn't mean to get hurt. It's pure coincidence. You can ask Xi Qian if you doubt my words." He kept looking for excuses.

It remained that Lu Qingfeng did not say a word, but the slight embezzlement on his face showed that he was not happy with what had happened to him.

Since they knew each other well, Su Xiaofei knew that Lu Qingfeng was annoyed at him, while the latter was aware that he was lying to her, but he did not call her for it.

"Why don't you want to talk to me?" He grumbled.

"Unless you're going to tell the truth, save your energy and be good." Lu Qingfeng finally replied. He could only wait to hear his explanation later, the important thing now was that Su Xiaofei was home, and he would recover soon.

Su Xiaofei's grip on her grew tighter as she pushed her bedroom door open and laid her on the bed. At this moment, his face was flushed red and his breathing was wheezing, signaling that he had a fever. He groaned but did not complain, leaving Lu Qingfeng standing by his bedside, feeling helpless about what he had to do to ease his pain.

"I'm thirsty." Su Xiaofei told him.

Lu Qingfeng did not say a word, but left his room. He then returned with a tray placed with a pitcher of water and a drinking glass. She poured him a glass of water and helped him hold it as he took a sip.

When Aunt Liu and Xi Qian came to check on her, Lu Qingfeng then asked them to help Su Xiaofei change into clean clothes while she waited outside. The two women easily agreed to her request as they helped Su Xiaofei clean herself up, being careful not to touch her wound.

Seeing that they might take some time to finish, Lu Qingfeng decided to join the others downstairs to find out what happened to Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian when they came out.

"Xiao Feng, come and sit with me." Yun Qingrong called out to him when he saw him walking downstairs.

Lu Qingfeng obediently listened to her and sat quietly while Master Ouyang told her what happened this afternoon and what caused Su Xiaofei's injuries. He did not say anything during the adult conversation, but it was clear that he was not happy with what happened to Su Xiaofei.

"Qing'er, you don't have to worry anymore" said Master Ouyang. "Mr Han has assured us that your daughter will be able to remove the remaining poison in her body, as long as she takes her medicine in time. Regarding the cost, this old man was willing to bear it."

"You don't need to feel guilty, Uncle Luo. None of us wanted this to happen to Feifei."

"Stay, it's this old man's fault that your daughter is hurt. Let me at least help you with medical expenses, Qing'er." Mr. Ouyang insisted.

"Aunt Qing, I'll be back to see if Aunt Liu and Xi Qian are done with her." Lu Qingfeng was fed up with this conversation. He politely told Yun Qingrong that he was going to check on Su Xiaofei, forgiving himself in an attempt to stop himself from saying unnecessary things in front of the elders.

Yun Qingrong clapped his hands and nodded. "Thank you, Xiao Feng. Go awayl. I'll be there soon."

Lu Qingfeng gave Master Ouyang and Yun Xiang a brief nod and left without a word, but instead without shooting Yun Xiang a cold gaze that shocked the older man.

'What's wrong with him?' Yun Xiang wondered in confusion.

When he returned to Su Xiaofei's side, he was already wearing pajamas. Aunt Liu had already left, leaving Xi Qian to guard Su Xiaofei the moment Lu Qingfeng came out. Su Xiaofei was also asleep, but it was clear that he was feeling uncomfortable.

"It's been a long day for you, Xi Qian. Why don't you have dinner and rest tonight? I will accompany Xiaofei while Aunt Qing is busy downstairs." He told Xi Qian, wanting to be left alone with Su Xiaofei.

"okay." Xi Qian did not argue with him this time. He had no energy left to argue with her, as he was very worried about Su Xiaofei's condition. "Call me if you need help."

Lu Qingfeng nodded. She saw him leave and went to close the door behind her. He sat on the armchair beside Su Xiaofei's bed and closed his eyes, trying to calm his nerves. He repeatedly told himself that Su Xiaofei was fine, and he was already out of danger.

Although he was aware that Su Xiaofei was not telling the truth, he could not force him to admit what was really happening. To Lu Qingfeng, there was no such thing as coincidence in this world. There will always be a logical reason for what happened, no matter how trivial it is.

Since Su Xiaofei was unwilling to reveal the truth to him, Lu Qingfeng had no other choice but to find the answer to his own question.

As soon as Master Ouyang and Yun Xiang left the Su Residence, Yun Qingrong joined Lu Qingfeng and took care of his daughter. It was late at night, yet he knew that he would not be able to sleep, seeing the sick daughter. Thankfully, Lu Qingfeng was with them to help ease his worries other than looking after Su Xiaofei.

However, as the clock showed at one in the morning, Su Xiaofei's breathing became erratic and his face flushed red. The moment Yun Qingrong touched her head, the more panicked old woman saw how high the princess fever and the hassles of preparing the medicines that Master Ouyang had left for her earlier.

These medicines were prescribed and made by Han Zijun himself, and Yun Qingrong realized how good the doctor was in traditional medicine. He was considered a young prodigy and received high honors in the industry, so he was not worried about the quality of the medicine he had prescribed for Su Xiaofei.

His hands trembled as panic began to take hold of him. Thankfully, Lu Qingfeng managed to hold onto the bowl containing Su Xiaofei's medicine. He placed it on the night stand and helped Su Xiaofei sit on his bed.

Su Xiaofei faced with half-opened eyes and nodded. He took a slight sip, but he suddenly coughed, spewing the bitter medicine into Lu Qingfeng's white shirt.

"Sorry." He was in a dizzy state. "It's so bitter."

Yun Qingrong stood beside them with a glass of water in his hand. She knew her daughter did not like the strong aroma and taste of medicine, but Su Xiaofei had no other choice but to take her medicine to feel better.

"Don't sip it a little. Drink it at once, so that it doesn't feel too long stuck to the roof of your mouth." Lu Qingfeng suggested.

He offered the medicine again, and Su Xiaofei looked at it for a moment. If this is the payment for Lord Ouyang's debt and draw Yun Xiang under his influence, let it be!

He took out a bowl of medicine and downed it at once, just as Lu Qingfeng had suggested. He grimaced at the intensity of the medicine's bitterness, and his eyes ached with tears.

Yun Qingrong then gave a glass of water he was holding, which turned out to be honey lemon water, helping Su Xiaofei remove the bitter taste in his mouth.

Lu Qingfeng then laid his back on the bed and flicked the hair off his face.

"Sleep and rest. Your mother and I will be here when you wake up." She's telling.

"You promise?" Su Xiaofei asked with a small smile. Ever since he was reborn, every morning he jolted from his bed, wondering what day and year it was now. He was still afraid that none of these past few days were true, and he once again became a wandering ghost who could not forget his mother and Lu Qingfeng's miserable ending.

Lu Qingfeng's eyes softened at that moment. He nodded his head and held his hand, squeezing it lightly.

"Ens. I pledge. You must take my words seriously."

It was then that Su Xiaofei sighed and closed his eyes, allowing himself to be dragged back into sleep.

It took over an hour before his body temperature dropped, making Yun Qingrong and Lu Qingfeng sigh in relief.

"Aunt Qing, why don't you sleep with Xiaofei? You look tired." Lu Qingfeng told the woman in a low voice. "I promise I'll take care of her."

Yun Qingrong was indeed feeling tired and exhausted, but he was not sure if he should let the young Lu Qingfeng take care of his daughter.

"Are you sure?"

"En, Auntie." urged Lu Qingfeng. "Xiaofei will also worry if you also fall ill."

"okay." The old woman admitted, "but you should wake me up if you feel ashamed."

Lu Qingfeng only smiled lightly at him and watched as Yun Qingrong sat beside Su Xiaofei on the bed and slept after making sure to put a pillow between them to make sure he did not accidentally touch his wound.

The lights had been turned on, allowing the mother and daughter to sleep soundly, while Lu Qingfeng stayed awake to make sure Su Xiaofei did not have a fever again.

In his sleep, Su Xiaofei started muttering obscure words that his mother could not hear except Lu Qingfeng. He bites, hands clenched tightly beside him, a habit he has whenever he is upset with something or someone.

"Mo Yuchen, Ye Mingyu. I will never forgive you. I will never take your revenge..."

Hearing such words from the bridge, Lu Qingfeng thought hard for a long time. His eyes narrowed slightly, the body layered as several thoughts flashed through his mind. He then stood up and walked over to Su Xiaofei's window and dialed his phone number.

"Nine, I gave you your first mission…." He then went on to provide details of the afternoon event at the pharmacy in a silent tone, making sure not to wake the sleeping mother and child.

"I gave you three days to find out who did this to her." He said before hanging up.

After his order was released, he proceeded to return to the previous seat, his hands outstretched to touch a few strands of Su Xiaofei's black hair. Under the dim light, his lips curved up and kissed the end of the key.

"Stupid girl.. If you want revenge, you should know that you can't die this fast."
