Evil Wife Young Master Lu

Chapter 40: The Closest Person to His Heart

The three finished their delightful meal, ignoring Mo Yuchen's whereabouts in the restaurant opposite. As long as Mo Yuchen did not come and cause trouble for them, Su Xiaofei would not waste his time anymore.

Xi Qian watched her best friend, still wondering if Su Xiaofei really had ended up with her madness on Mo Yuchen. Although she did not like to admit it openly, she preferred Su Xiaofei not to get involved too quickly with other men.

Mo Yuchen definitely did not deserve his best friend. As for Lu Qingfeng, even though he was protecting Feifei, Xi Qian was still not confident enough to leave Feifei with him alone. He was afraid that Lu Qingfeng's obsession with Su Xiaofei would hurt his friend in the future.

It didn't matter if they were childhood friends, because Xi Qian was sure that Lu Qingfeng didn't consider Feifei a friend at all since he met the little tyrant a few years ago.

Su Xiaofei took out his phone after finishing eating, intending to see how badly Ye Mingyu had messed up his own plan to humiliate him in front of everyone today.

As expected, Ye Mingyu's courage to look for her had made the young woman lose her own public reputation. Students kept saying that she was also a fox like her mother and was sent to the academy to harass Su Xiaofei. Some even accused of saying that Ye Xing might fake his illness to create a dispute between Su Xiaofei's parents.

Compared to Su Xiaofei, who was a perfect representation of Bai'fu'mei, Ye Mingyu was very lacking not only in elegance, but also in proper etiquette. If Lu Qingfeng did not notice the striking red mark on Su Xiaofei's wrist, they would never have guessed that this Ye Mingyu was hiding the cruelty behind her heresy's face.

"Feifei, what are you looking at?" Xi Qian asked as he picked up the last dumpling on his plate. He noticed that Su Xiaofei was grinning as he scrolled his phone.

"So there's a live stream, guess who's the main character in this latest drama?" Su Xiaofei gave him a look of understanding.

Xi Qian flinched at him in disbelief and hurriedly pulled out his phone. While Su Xiaofei used the latest model released by a popular company named fruit, the, Xi Qian uses a phone that was released five years ago and can barely keep up with the latest phones released lately.

Still, he was able to find the same live streaming video that Su Xiaofei had just mentioned. Although it was only a ten-minute clip, it was able to capture the conversation between Su Xiaofei and Ye Mingyu earlier and ended with Su Xiaofei walking away with Lu Qingfeng.

His comments were disrespectful towards Ye Mingyu, but that did not mean that the other students had changed their minds about Su Xiaofei. There were still some who thought that he was oppressing Ye Mingyu and deliberately putting her in an awkward situation.

"What nonsense are these people talking about? Didn't they see Ye Mingyu who came to talk to you first?" Xi Qian was annoyed when he saw the rude comments about his best friend. He was there as a witness, so he knew there was no way Su Xiaofei would start a commotion between them.

"Relax, Qian. No matter what others say about me, you don't have to be upset. You can't just convince people with words." Su Xiaofei closed the live streaming app, only to find his photo with Lu Qingfeng in the academy forum, seeing the other students making assumptions about their relationship with each other in the comment section.

"Hey, what's with these people sending me with Xiao Feng?" He frowned. "Did they have nothing better to do than gossip?"

"What shipment?" Lu Qingfeng moved to the chair next to Su Xiaofei and turned his head back to see what was on his phone. He wanted to see what caught his attention this time.

"You don't know what a ship is?" Su Xiaofei gave him a questioning look. It was impossible for someone like Lu Qingfeng to not know the popular everyday terms like 'ship' that people used today.

"Ah, I know now." Lu Qingfeng withdrew and took his phone to look at the photos Su Xiaofei had seen before. He did not think that people would start to notice the possible connection between the two of them.

Lu Qingfeng laughed as he read the comments about Su Xiaofei raising a future husband-to-be for himself in the future, not knowing that despite his young age, his mental age was a man who had lived two lives before.

Scrolling through the various photos of the two of them, a photo caught his interest.

It was a photo of her and Su Xiaofei that was screen-taken from the live streaming video. On it, Su Xiaofei had just seen her and went to greet her with his hands behind his back, smiling sweetly at her. It was as if the world around them had vanished, and they could only see each other.

Lu Qingfeng decided to keep this photo. This will be her favorite photo in the future, next to their wedding photo. Years later, he would see the same photos and reminisce about the past.

Su Xiaofei put his phone back into his pocket. He was satisfied with today's results and could not wait to see how Feng Xue'er reacted once he learned that Ye Mingyu had met his fiancee behind his back.

For someone whose arrogance could be compared to Su Xiaofei, Feng Xue'er would definitely not let Ye Mingyu off the hook. The so-called friendship that the two once claimed and were proud of in front of everyone in Su Xiaofei's past life, was merely a pretense between the two.

As the saying goes, one should not interrupt the enemy when he makes a mistake.

When they came out of the restaurant, it also coincided with Mo Yuchen leaving another restaurant with a colleague he had met for a meeting. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the three, waiting for their ride to arrive.

Su Xiaofei ignored him, while Lu Qingfeng and Xi Qian glared back at him.

Lu Qingfeng looked annoyed at seeing Mo Yuchen today and did not bother to hide his disgust towards other men. If he were not trapped in this body of his teens and was the same age or slightly older than him, Lu Qingfeng would have kept him out of Mo Yuchen's reach.

No matter if it was in the past or this lifetime, just looking at his face alone was enough to make Lu Qingfeng boil in anger. He suddenly thought that all the things he did in his second life, after Su Xiaofei's death, were not enough to temper the anger in his heart.

Su Xiaofei was her lover, yet in the hands of this man, she was trampled and banished after her goal was achieved.

If it was in the past, Su Xiaofei would have thrown himself at him and bombarded him with questions about what he was doing here or if he was accompanied by another woman.

Now that Su Xiaofei did not want it anymore, why did Mo Yuchen act as if he was the one being persecuted by her? Xi Qian thought.

He could not even take the initiative to cancel his engagement to Su Xiaofei, now that he had voiced his intention to withdraw from her. If Mo Yuchen really hated her and did not want to be with her, she should have restored her freedom to marry whoever she wanted in the future, but she did not.

With this thought in mind, Xi Qian desperately wanted to go across the street to face the man, but Su Xiaofei stopped him by holding his wrist.

"Qian, didn't you say that your shift would start in half an hour? We don't have time to waste." Su Xiaofei said with a smile.

Xi Qian had no choice but to agree and enter the car with Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng. They watched Mo Yuchen follow them with his gaze until they disappeared from sight.

Xi Qian snorted and crossed his hands in annoyance.

"Very annoying. If he didn't like Feifei, why didn't he say anything and break off their own engagement? Was he really that weak that he and his family needed to rely on Aunt Qing's help to save their company? It just shows that they are incompetent entrepreneurs, then."

Lu Qingfeng chuckled at hearing that.

"What Xi Qian said makes sense, doesn't it, Feifei?"

"really. It must have hurt his fragile virility to know that he had to rely on my mother's help to save their company, but that would never happen. They won't be able to use my mother unless they manage to force me to join the Mo family."

"As if we're gonna let that happen." Lu Qingfeng commented.

"As if!" Xi Qian chimed. "Feifei, no matter what happens, even if Mo Yuchen kneels down to ask for your hand to marry, don't dare to take it back."

Su Xiaofei felt a warmth in his heart, seeing how much they cared for his well-being. He was completely blind and stupid for ignoring them in his previous life.

"Qian, how can I get married in the future if you scare people like this?" He laughed behind his hand.

The smile on Lu Qingfeng's face disappeared. She's not thinking of marrying another man now, is she?

"Feifei, I won't allow anyone to marry you unless they get my approval. Don't you dare forget that you made this promise to me a long time ago."

"Yes I did." Su Xiaofei nodded. "How could I forget? I don't dare, Qian."

It was a pity that he had actually broken this promise in his previous life when he married Mo Yuchen without asking Xi Qian for approval.

It was precisely because of this that he gave his consent to Li Xiran when he asked his permission first to the court, Xi Qian. At first, she was curious why she asked him for permission when he could have seen her best friend behind his back.

'You are the person closest to Qian. He holds you high in his heart, so please, Miss Su, allow me to be with him.' Li Xiran told him.

He wondered if his rebirth would affect the meeting of Xi Qian and Li Xiran that would happen in seven years. Seven years was a long time for Xi Qian to wait for her lover, but it was fine. Su Xiaofei would make sure Xi Qian was happy and safe until Li Xiran arrived at his best friend's life.

"You made a deal like that?" Lu Qingfeng furrowed his brows. He didn't realize that there was such a promise between the two, but he shouldn't be surprised at all, given how close Feifei was to Xi Qian.

"Of course, Xi Qian is my best friend." Su Xiaofei. "Since she had a pair of useless parents, no one would give it to her when she got married in the future. I promised her that I would be the one to take her to the fold to give her hand to her future husband. "

Xi Qian blushed for it. Indeed, the reason why she and Su Xiaofei made this agreement was because she was worried that no one would represent her family on her wedding day, just in case she decided to get married in the future.

"I understand.." Lu Qingfeng nodded before turning his attention to the road. If that was the case, then he really had to learn how to get along with Xi Qian for the sake of Su Xiaofei.
