Evil Wife Young Master Lu

Chapter 23: If One Day No One Wants to Marry Me

Su Xiaofei was momentarily stunned to hear what he heard from Lu Qingfeng's lips.

"What?" He blinked, his wide and clear eyes staring at him.

Lu Qingfeng stepped forward and slipped his lost key behind his ear, with a gentleness that he would never show to anyone, except him.

"I said it should be yours. In the future, marry a man who can give you anything you want and will not treat you less than a queen like you." He said, his lips forming a slight smile.

"Our Xiaofei should never accept less. It doesn't matter if he can't help you through everything, as long as he can love you through everything and won't leave you, but I think it will be hard for you to do so." Find a man more capable than me." He said with an evil smile on his face and tone that made Su Xiaofei realize the red hue that threatened to bloom on his face.

"Stupid! So arrogant! Do you really have to boast that you're better than the others?" Su Xiaofei avoided his gaze.

He backed away from his touch and violently turned his back on him, knowing full well that his face was now flushed red from his teasing. His hand was placed on his chest, making him feel his erratic heartbeat from hearing such words from Lu Qingfeng.

'Lu Qingfeng is young. Don't tell me she already had such feelings for me at such a young age?'

Su Xiaofei might be eighteen years old physically, but his mind was a twenty-eight year old woman who had been having difficulties in life. Meanwhile, Lu Qingfeng was only fifteen years old, but why did he feel this man had become even more arrogant and arrogant ever since he was reborn?

The fifteen-year-old Lu Qingfeng he knew would not act like this. Even the way he spoke was very different from before. He sounded older and wiser.

Is rebirth and its attempt to change the course of events somehow making a change in his personality? Su Xiaofei wondered.

Lu Qingfeng shrugged and chose to immerse his hand in his side pocket in an attempt to stop himself from reaching Su Xiaofei. It was difficult to control himself whenever Su Xiaofei was nearby.

"What can I say? You have to admit that I look better than your stupid fiancee." He said half-jokingly, hoping that somehow it would lighten the atmosphere between them.

"He's not my fiance anymore. Regardless of what others think, Mo Yuchen is not my fiancee."

This time, Su Xiaofei faced him, the red hue on his face replaced with a sense of annoyance when mentioning Mo Yuchen.

"You hate him so much, don't you? What did he do until you held such anger on him?" Lu Qingfeng asked curiously, his eyes trying to find answers on Su Xiaofei's face.

"He disrespected me and humiliated me. It would be better if he said that he didn't like me than to treat me like a fool." Su Xiaofei replied. "He and I will never make peace in this life."

"Does this mean you have no choice in the future other than to marry me?" Lu Qingfeng said suddenly, which caught Su Xiaofei off guard.

Damnit. Su Xiaofei thought. Just as he thought that he had recovered from his shock earlier, Lu Qingfeng decided to drop another bomb on him.

"What are you talking about? Aren't we too young to talk about marriage and getting married?" She said in response, wondering why Lu Qingfeng asked such things to her.

"What's? Don't look at me like that. I am not the one who forced myself on you. Don't you remember? You forced me to promise that if no man wants to marry you in the future, I should marry you." The young man said in defense and this only left Su Xiaofei flabbergasted.

He looked at her with wide-eyed, jar-mouth, as he thought of a word to refute her claim, but nothing came out. His mind was blank for failing to process what he had just heard from the young Lu Qingfeng.

"I said that?" He asked in disbelief, after a long silence between them.

"24 April 20xx, two weeks before your thirteenth birthday. You said that if you have reached the age of twenty-three and are still unmarried, I should marry you." Lu Qingfeng explained in a flat tone.

Su Xiaofei was made completely speechless by his words. Two weeks before his thirteenth birthday, he said.

Wait for. Wasn't that before he met and saved Mo Yuchen's life? He now remembered a certain memory he had of Lu Qingfeng when they were young.

Su Xiaofei had just had a fight with a group of older children near their neighborhood and one of them said that Su Xiaofei was too disrespectful and no one wanted to marry her when she big later. He ended up beating the children himself and chased them away, but in the end, their words bothered him greatly.

"Xiao Feng, you don't hate me, do you? If one day no one wants to marry me, and you're an adult, you have to marry me." He tried to convince ten-year-old Lu Qingfeng.

Su Xiaofei slapped his forehead, scolding himself for saying such words to his childhood friend.

"Indeed, Su Xiaofei, what the hell is this? How dare you try to trick and trick ten-year-old me into getting married? You're very stingy for me, Xiaofei." Lu Qingfeng pretended to be offended by him. "You specifically mentioned that I should marry you when you were twenty-three. Ah, so that gives us five years later.. If you can't find someone to marry back then, you're stuck with me for life."

The next day, Su Xiaofei was reviewing his lessons in the park alone, but his mind was still preoccupied with his conversation with Lu Qingfeng last night. It made sense to him why Lu Qingfeng had remained with him in his previous life and why he had such strong feelings towards him.

Su Xiaofei felt a little guilty for making Lu Qingfeng wait for him, only for him to return and find he had already married Mo Yuchen in their past lives. Lu Qingfeng had visited her at the Mo Estate, and she had a complicated expression that Su Xiaofei could not explain at all when he saw her.

So it turned out that Lu Qingfeng loved her for the years they grew up together, and it didn't help that she forced him to make a marriage appointment with her.

"She must be upset, but can't do anything." Su Xiaofei thought.

Ever since she married Mo Yuchen in her previous life, Lu Qingfeng stayed away from her at a safe distance, never talking to her unless she needed to, Lu Qingfeng said, or want her to talk about her life as a married woman in front of her. It must have been difficult for Lu Qingfeng to accept that she was the wife of another man and not his wife.

'How insensitive was I then.' Su Xiaofei sighed to himself. He couldn't blame Lu Qingfeng for acting like that in the past because he was the one who hurt him.

He cupped his chin and looked at his handwritten notes, but nothing made sense to him. He was wondering how he should deal with Lu Qingfeng now.

Lu Qingfeng sounded like he was joking last night, but Su Xiaofei knew that he was not joking. It was only fifteen years old, but he was already staring at her. Unless he met another woman who could overshadow his heart, Lu Qingfeng would not willingly part from him.

If he pulled back and claimed that the promise they made was just a joke, Su Xiaofei was worried that it would only hurt him.

He rubbed his temple and sighed for the umpteenth time today. Lu Qingfeng must have known how to mess with his stupid brain. He was not sure who was the more stupid among the two of them. She, who had fallen into Mo Yuchen's scheme and forgotten the promise he made with Lu Qingfeng, or she, who had remained single all her life, loved him until his last breath.

Su Xiaofei would be lying if he said that he was not moved by his dedication and loyalty. However, she was unsure how she should deal with her growing feelings towards him just yet.

"We still have five years." Lu Qingfeng reminded him.

Yep. He still had five years to make a decision on whether he should fulfill the promise he made with him or not. Three years from now, Lu Qingfeng would leave the country to continue his studies abroad. In her past life, she did not return until she was twenty-one years old, and she was twenty-four years old and married Mo Yuchen for a year later.

Su Xiaofei closed his notebook, realizing that there was no point in him learning if his mind was not fixed on him. He leaned on his back as he pondered whether he should let this matter go unresolved for now. He and Lu Qingfeng were young and if in the future, Lu Qingfeng raised the matter again, Su Xiaofei should have already made a decision back then.

"Feifei, there's a letter coming for you." Aunt Liu came to the garden, held a box in her arms, and placed it on the table in front of Su Xiaofei.

"Thank you, Auntie. Sorry to bother you today." He said in response. Finally, the dress she ordered the other day came just in time. Su Xiaofei was worried that he would not be able to use it if it was too late.

The old woman looked at her worriedly, wondering why she ordered fake dresses from popular designer brands online. They both know that the laws in their country are harsh against those who sell and own fake products like this. If they were found, they would not only be prosecuted in court, but they would also spend a good time behind bars, effectively damaging their name and reputation in public.

"Feifei... Why did you buy something like this?" Aunt Liu asked worriedly. Thankfully, it was she who received it from the courier early, because if it was another servant of their household, Aunt Liu was worried they would soon report their young miss to the authorities.

"Don't worry, Auntie. That's not mine. I bought it for a reason I can't tell you." Said Su Xiaofei, feeling a little guilty that Aunt Liu caught him in the middle of his plan.

"Be careful, Feifei. Don't let anyone know you have this" Aunt Liu said.

"En, Auntie. Thank you for your attention." He replied, before seeing the old woman leave, leaving her in peace again.

Now that his mother had decided to get rid of the Chen family from their household, Su Xiaofei needed to rush over and give Chen Li a parting gift. Su Xiaofei still had not forgotten how the shameless woman had damaged her name and reputation in public by using her personal belongings.

'Chen Li, since you love that little black dress so much, you can have it.'

The little black dress was bought for her by Yun Qingrong from a famous designer brand in Shenjing, but Su Xiaofei never wore it. Chen Li liked the dress in the past and liked to brag about it to her friends.

Before Chen Li left this household with his mother, Su Xiaofei was confident that the young lady would attempt to steal the dress.
