Evil Wife Young Master Lu

Chapter 24: Partners in Crime

"What's that?" Su Xiaofei was momentarily shocked when Lu Qingfeng came and sat opposite him. He then glanced at the box on the table that separated them and frowned when he saw what it was when he peeked at it.

"Feifei.. this…"

"It's just a precaution to make sure that I won't get involved with someone bad in public." Su Xiaofei said in defense. "Say, Xiao Feng, want to see something interesting tonight?"

Lu Qingfeng temporarily stayed with the Su family for a few days before his grandfather returned from his business trip abroad. This was a normal occurrence in the Su household since they were young. Su Xiaofei would also do the same and stay with the Lu family whenever his parents left and he was left alone with their housekeeper.

Lu Qingfeng gave him a suspicious look before sighing. After all it was not the first time he had been an accomplice of Su Xiaofei. The glint in Su Xiaofei's eyes was an indication that one would definitely suffer pain or humiliation later on, and he wondered who the pitiful human was that pissed him off this time.

"Alright, but don't blame me if Aunt Qing catches us later." He retaliated.

"He won't." Su Xiaofei grinned back.

The silence that followed reminded Su Xiaofei of what they were talking about last night.

"Are you upset because I reminded you of a ridiculous promise we made last night?"

Lu Qingfeng's sudden question made him raise his gaze to look at his face.

Is he upset? No. gabe. More precisely, their conversation last night was like a lost puzzle that gave him a clearer view of what had happened in his past life.

Lu Qingfeng might have said that it was a ridiculous promise, but Su Xiaofei knew better. He knew how seriously he took his words. Because otherwise, he would not have done the things he did in his previous life, only to die with a grieving heart.

"No. Why should I be angry? I almost forgot about it." He admits.

"You dare forget it ?!" He gasped, as he looked at her in disbelief.

"Hey, it wasn't intentional, okay, and why did you bring it up?" Su Xiaofei said in defense.

"It's because I know you'll forget it. You've robbed me of my chance to play around with another woman, how can you have the courage to forget her?"

Su Xiaofei chuckled at hearing that. "We're just kids, Xiao Feng."

"So you mean you want to back out now? Don't forget, you're the one who initiated it."

Lu Qingfeng's tone of voice almost made Su Xiaofei feel guilty. It was as if he had just offended her with his words.

When she made that promise with him many years ago, she was completely troubled by the fact that no one would love and marry her once she grew up. Only his Mama, Xiao Feng, and Xi Qian were good to him, and the others were evil in his opinion.

"No, it's not like that. I was just thinking, instead of twenty-three, why don't we change it until I'm old enough to get married?"

"If you're planning on getting married at the same age as your mother, forget it. Who knows, maybe at that time, someone had stolen your position as my bride." Lu Qingfeng said in a seductive voice.

"I don't mind." He answered with all honesty. He took his cup of tea and sipped it. "As long as you're happy with her, who am I to stop you from marrying another woman?"

Su Xiaofei did not notice Lu Qingfeng's reaction, so he failed to realize that his eyes had darkened and his jaw had hardened hearing her answer.

"Lalu mengapa kamu mengatakan aku harus menikah denganmu begitu kamu berusia dua puluh tiga tahun, saat itu?" Dia bertanya.

Su Xiaofei hummed and tried to recall what made him decide to marry at twenty-three years old, which was obviously now a bit too young for him in his opinion.

"Because at that time I was told that if I was twenty-five and still unmarried, I would be a spinster and alone for the rest of my life. As a child, I took it seriously. Now, it's not 'I don't care anymore. I'd rather be a spinster all my life than get married and be with the wrong people."

"I understand.." He heard Lu Qingfeng reply, but he did not comment any further. "So, about your new Jiejie…"

"He's not my Jiejie." Su Xiaofei gave him a sharp look. "He can't be part of this family."

"Do you hate him so much?" Lu Qingfeng asked curiously, seeing how upset he was when he mentioned Ye Mingyu.

"Hate her? To say that I hate him is an understatement." He chuckled and looked away, not wanting Lu Qingfeng to see how much he hated the woman who destroyed him in his previous life.

It was impossible for him and Ye Mingyu to reconcile now, and he did not think that the crow would turn white overnight. The fact that Ye Mingyu had forced him to take on the role of a villain, painting him black in front of everyone, while cunningly stealing everything from him, how could Su Xiaofei let Ye Mingyu off the hook so easily?

No matter how hard Ye Mingyu tried in this life to do the same tricks and schemes, Su Xiaofei would do his best not to get into his trap again.

"They'll do it. I don't think they'll back down so easily." Su Xiaofei laughed softly. Knowing Ye Mingyu, she might have already devised a new plan to convince Su Haoran to do something for her and her mother at the expense of Yun Qingrong.

However, how could Su Haoran do that when the Yun family was now aware of Yun Qingrong's situation?

That night, Lu Qingfeng expected Su Xiaofei to knock on his door. He was still awake even after midnight. Su Xiaofei knew that he had trouble sleeping at night, and this lasted into adulthood. His doctor said that his chronic insomnia probably started after the death of his parents, and it only worsened after Su Xiaofei's death.

In his past life, Lu Qingfeng spent a sleepless night in his room after his death, lying on his bed, doing nothing. He would stay like this until sleep caught up with him at four in the morning, only to be forced to get up at six for work.

As expected, Lu Qingfeng heard three knocks on his door, pulling it out of his deep mind. He closed the book he was reading and slipped out of bed to open the door.

Outside, Su Xiaofei was wearing pink bunny pajamas, with a naked face and clean of any makeup she used to wear during the day. He held the cursed fake designer clothes box in one hand, with an evil smile on his lips.

Su Xiaofei stared at him from head to toe and was not surprised to see him wearing a loose white shirt and gray pajamas. Her hair was a little disheveled, but it only gave her a lazy charming look.

"Ready?" He asked her.

Lu Qingfeng sighed and let him grab his hand. She then pulled him out of her room before closing the door behind her.

"Hand this for me, will you?" Su Xiaofei pushed the box into his chest, giving him no choice but to accept it.

"So, where are you taking me this time?" He groaned as he began to drag her away, refusing to let go of her hand.

"We're gonna set a trap tonight. We must hurry, or he will defeat us," Su Xiaofei whispered, not wanting to get unwanted attention from others. It was important for him to set up a trap as soon as possible, or else he would not have the chance to destroy Chen Li for good.

Lu Qingfeng's eyes caught their twisted hands, making him possessed. With his hand tightly holding his larger hand. His hands felt warm and smooth in his somewhat callused hands.

Because he was so engrossed in their twisted hands, it was too late for him to realize that Su Xiaofei had dragged him to the third floor of the Su family home and unlocked the room he had not seen for a long time. He gave Su Xiaofei a questioning look, but he just smirked at her.

As soon as they entered the room, Su Xiaofei used his cell phone flashlight to direct their way into the room.

"Quick, Xiao Feng." She said slowly, gesturing for him to follow her deeper into her wardrobe that houses a lot of designer clothes, shoes, makeup, and items her mother bought for her.

Su Xiaofei brought her to the dress and party dress section and took out a box that was almost the same as the one Lu Qingfeng was holding. Only then did he realize what he was actually doing at the moment. She intended to replace her original designer dress with a fake one, but why?

"Please put it in the same place for me." He whispered to her.

Lu Qingfeng sighed for the umpteenth time that night, but he still did as he was told.

"What now?" He had just asked, when they heard someone outside the door, trying to unlock it.

Su Xiaofei's eyes widened noticing. He turned off the flashlight on his phone and dragged Lu Qingfeng with him into the two-door closet and pushed him inside. It was rather narrow inside with Lu Qingfeng hovering too close to him, the only thing separating them was the box.

Lu Qingfeng lowered his eyes and could see Su Xiaofei's face shining by the moonlight through the crack of the door in front of them. His familiar scent reached his nose, and he could not think of anything that smelled better than him.

Suddenly, whoever was fiddling with the doorknob outside managed to enter. Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng held their breaths, not moving an inch from where they were, their eyes followed the sound of footsteps until they stopped at the same spot as they stood.

Lu Qingfeng looked over Su Xiaofei's shoulder to see who that person was, warning Su Xiaofei of their closeness, as he could almost feel the warmth of Lu Qingfeng's breath at his nape.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not go inside the closet to hide like this as he would normally feel constrained and trapped at the same time, but with Lu Qingfeng accompanying him, he would usually feel restrained and trapped, she could not feel any fear at all, just her next presence to him.

Lu Qingfeng could not believe what he saw. The one who came was none other than Chen Li. Did Su Xiaofei know that he would come here to steal something again? If so, how did he know?

Chen Li took out the box that Lu Qingfeng had placed before and opened it, amazed to see the beautiful black dress inside. Some people would not know that what he was holding was fake, but Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng could.

"Look at you, kept here and forgotten. Why don't I take you with me?" Chen Li spoke with admiration at the dress she was holding. "Right, I have to take you with me. That Su Xiaofei would definitely not realize that you are missing."

Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng waited until Chen Li stepped out of the room, carrying a fake dress box with her.. As soon as they were sure he had left, they stepped out of the closet and Su Xiaofei grinned widely.
