Chapter 212 - We Can’t Have It All (2)
Three hours later, Su Xiaofei found herself seated next to Lu Qingfeng at a stadium where young racers and youngsters were driving on the track. At her insistence, she had managed to convince Lu Qingfeng to dress up and pretend to be a couple who was on a late night date.
From where they were seated, they could see Mo Yuan laughing with his friends while drinking with them. Unless Mo Yuan turned his head and stared at them, it would be hard for him or anyone to recognize the two.
Zhang Lan was also there, participating in their game under Lu Qingfeng's instruction. She would be keeping a close eye on Mo Yuan, while informing Lu Qingfeng what was happening or if Old Madam Mo's people were nearby.
Su Xiaofei fought the urge to yawn and pinched her arm to stay awake. After her long day at Bluemedia and with her hunger satisfied, it was normal that she would feel sleepy and tired even though it was still early.
"Feifei, you can take a nap if you can't keep up. I'll keep an eye on him." Lu Qingfeng suggested, but Su Xiaofei shook her head. She needed to make sure that she would be able to ensure Mo Yuan's safety.
"No, I just need some coffee." She said, and waited to see what would happen next.
Lu Qingfeng then glaced at one of his bodyguards, and one of them immediately left to fetch their future lady boss a cold coffee she could drink. They'd been working for a long time as Lu Qingfeng's bodyguards, so how can they not know that this woman was in their young boss's heart?
By treating Su Xiaofei well, their young boss would surely treat them better. They had all witnessed how angry Lu Qingfeng could be when one of their former colleagues made a mistake and said something bad about the young Su Xiaofei back then.
"No one is allowed to bully, Xiaofei! If anything, I'll let her bully every one of you!" The young Lu Qingfeng was seething with anger when he overheard what the bodyguard said about Su Xiaofei.
Since then, everyone has been cautious with their words when it comes to Su Xiaofei. None of them dared to say anything against her, especially in their young boss's presence, in fear that they would lose their jobs because of their loose mouths.
"I didn't know that Mo Yuan could be this impulsive. Doesn't he value his life?" She chuckled as they saw Mo Yuan took the driver's seat of one of the cars that were about to race.
"Must be eager to lose his life this early." Lu Qingfeng scoffed. Even if the old woman didn't instigate to kill Mo Yuan, he could easily lose his life if he continued to be this reckless.
After an hour of waiting, Su Xiaofei had dozed off next to Lu Qingfeng, with her head resting against his shoulder. Even the cold coffee had no power to keep her awake. As she was peacefully napping next to Lu Qingfeng, Zhang Lan raced with Mo Yuan, beating him in the process.
When Mo Yuan reached the finish line, he burst in laughter and shook hands with Zhang Lan, congratulating her. He had never expected that a woman like Zhang Lan would be able to beat him so easily.
Lu Qingfeng noticed that Mo Yuan was the exact opposite of his elder brother. While Mo Yuchen was cold and arrogant, Mo Yuan was a social butterfly who could easily get along with other people.
It didn't take long before Mo Yuan bid goodbye, which alerted not only Old Madam Mo's people, but also Lu Qingfeng. Lu Qingfeng immediately nudged Su Xiaofei to wake her up.
"Feifei, wake up. It's time to leave." He said in a gentle voice that others would find surprising, given how he could be impassive but polite when talking to others.
Su Xiaofei shot her eyes open and rubbed her eyes. She then thought that it was a good thing that Lu Qingfeng was with her, but regretted that she had fallen asleep while waiting for Mo Yuan to leave.
"Did he leave already?" She asked as she blinked her eyes, allowing her eyesight to adjust to her surroundings.
"En. Zhang Lan and Zhang Ling are following after him. Madam Mo's people have left with him." Lu Qingfeng replied, before leading her to the other exit of the stadium, making sure that she was safe before leaving.
As they followed the GPS of the car that Zhang Lan was using, Lu Qingfeng kept on tapping his fingers over his knees as he couldn't stay calm. He had never met Mo Yuan in his previous life, and he was wary on how this sudden change would affect Su Xiaofei's life in the future.
By saving Mo Yuan's life, she was indirectly announcing war against the old woman, and while he wouldn't allow anyone to touch even a strand of her hair, Lu Qingfeng would rather prevent her from putting herself in danger.
"Boss, Zhang Lan's car just stopped." His driver told him and Su Xiaofei.
"How long has she been inactive?" Lu Qingfeng asked.
"It's about one and a half minutes, boss."
Lu Qingfeng checked the time on his wristwatch and waited until it was time to intercept Old Madam Mo's people.
"Wait here, Feifei. I'll bring Mo Yuan to you alive." He told Su Xiaofei, but she shook her head, refusing to be left behind by him.
There was no way she would allow Lu Qingfeng to do it on his own.
"I'll go with you. Don't think that you can just leave me, Lu Qingfeng!" She gripped his arm, refusing to allow him to alight the car without her.
Lu Qingfeng stared at her and considered his options. If he left Su Xiaofei now, he was certain that she would do something reckless behind his back.. He can't really leave her under his driver's watch.
