Chapter 138 - Taking The Other Path (2)
Yun Qingrong felt that her daughter was still too young to be involved with their business. However, she also understood that the earlier Feifei got used to the ropes of their business, the easier it would be for her when she finally takes over the company's management in the future.
She hadn't really expected her young daughter to take any interest in running the business, given how Feifei used to fawn over the beautiful celebrities she had met before. Looking at her daughter now, Yun Qingrong suddenly felt that her child had really grown up.
"Are you sure about this, Feifei?" She asked her daughter.
"Yes, Mama. I want to be prepared. Xi Qian and I will graduate from high school in a few months' time, and she already knows what she wants to do, so I guess it's also time for me to think about my own future."
Su Xiaofei had already spent a lifetime as an actress, and she didn't want to do it all over again. It wasn't like she was a bad actress in her past life. In fact, she managed to become a B-rated actress and a singer at the same time.
However, since she was reborned, she had realized that it was more exciting to work behind the scenes, knowing every nook and cranny of the showbiz industry. She couldn't wait to defeat Mo Yuchen and her birth mother at their own game.
"Okay. If you are really determined, then you may come to the company with me on weekends so you can start familiarizing yourself. But don't expect that I will give you a position just yet. It's enough that you familiarize yourself with how the management works first." Yun Qingrong conceded, knowing that she couldn't really deny her daughter if her Feifei had already decided to follow in her footsteps.
Su Xiaofei's face lit up, and she stood from her seat to give her mother a big hug.
"Really? Mama is the best! I promise to behave and study hard, so you'll be proud of me in the future!" She said with glee.
"Aiya, Feifei knows how to use words to convince her mother. In the future, you can definitely use this ability to win favors and establish connections with others." Uncle Fang laughed, seeing the interaction between the mother and daughter pair.
If Yun Qingrong hadn't adopted her, Su Xiaofei wasn't sure what kind of life she would lead growing up in that orphanage. Since she was the one responsible for dragging her mother down with her in their past lives, it was only natural for Su Xiaofei to take responsibility and make sure that it won't happen again.
Once they were done with dinner, Su Xiaofei saw Lu Qingfeng out and waited for his ride to arrive.
"You look busy these days." The young man commented next to her, after making sure that they were out of everyone's earshot.
"That can't be helped. I need to be prepared for what could happen in the future." Su Xiaofei tucked her long hair behind her ear, feeling the night breeze.
Lu Qingfeng chuckled at that.
"You know, if I don't know any better, I would assume you are a clairvoyant who could foresee the future." He said, wondering if she would tell him the truth, but pushed the thoughts aside, knowing her personality.
Su Xiaofei could only smile at that. Although she trusted Lu Qingfeng, she wasn't ready to disclose the fact that she was reborned, and that she was merely reliving her life for the better.
"Who knows." She shrugged. "Perhaps the heavens wanted me to live a happy life and are helping me."
"Just don't be reckless, Feifei. In fact, if people took a moment to calm down and not get carried away by their emotions, they would realize that they could avoid regrets and committing mistakes along the way."
"Oh? When did our Xiao Feng become so mature? You are sounding like an old man more and more each day."
"An old man? I assure you, I haven't reached my prime yet, Su Xiaofei." Lu Qingfeng stepped forward, his eyes burning through her.
Su Xiaofei swallowed an invisible lump in her throat and looked away, aware of the damned blush that was threatening to spread on her face. She couldn't understand why her heart was constantly beating erratically against her chest whenever Lu Qingfeng looked at her like this lately.
Was it because she was now aware of his intentions and feelings towards her, or the fact that she had never been confessed to nor chased by another man like this, even in her previous life? She wondered.
Lu Qingfeng smirked. He didn't respond, simply moving with ethereal grace to stand next to her and touched the tips of her long hair that now reached her waist.
The air felt too thick around them and although it was already nighttime, Su Xiaofei felt that the temperature had risen around her. She could almost feel his presence behind her, trapping her. He was so close and if she turned around, Su Xiaofei was sure that she would find him too close to herself.
And she did.
The moment she turned her head, her eyes slightly widened, seeing that his face was so close to hers. His hand plucked something from her head and showed her the small bobby pin that she failed to remove earlier.
"It's amazing how you could remain oblivious for so long." He chuckled as he placed the bobby pin on her right palm.
Su Xiaofei wasn't sure if he was talking about the pin or about his feelings towards him. She could only look at him like a deer in headlights.
Lu Qingfeng was tempted to lean forward and catch her parted lips in a deep, searing kiss, but decided not to. She still wasn't ready and he knew it.
"You're spacing out." He flicked her forehead again, immediately dispelling the awkwardness between them.
"Lu Qingfeng!" She hissed in pain and glared daggers at him.. This young man really knew what button to push to annoy her.
