Chapter 243 - Unwanted One (1)
Lu Qingfeng was just teasing her and wasn't expecting that she would willingly agree to go on a date with him. He fell silent for a while, which made Su Xiaofei wonder if he had hung up on her.
"Hey! Xiao Feng, are you still there?" Su Xiaofei's tone was a little annoyed and unhappy.
"I'm here. Okay, we'll go on a date then. You can't take it back, Xiaofei. I'll pick you up tomorrow, so you won't stand me up."
"See you tomorrow then."
Once Su Xiaofei hung up the call, Lu Qingfeng stared at his phone as if their recent conversation was just a figment of his imagination. However, there was no way he would let this chance slip and allow Yun Xiang to take his place next to Su Xiaofei. When it comes to Su Xiaofei, Lu Qingfeng had already forgotten the concept of giving up.
Whether Su Xiaofei had also come to love him or not, it didn't matter. It was enough that she wanted his company more than anyone else's. They both need to adapt if they truly want to be together in the future.
The next day, Lu Qingfeng appeared early at the Yun estate to pick up Su Xiaofei. He found her still having breakfast with Yun Qingrong, and he was invited by the latter to join them.
Su Xiaofei glanced at him and noticed that he had dressed up for today. Lu Qingfeng was exceptionally dashing today, making her want to keep him for herself instead. He was wearing a light blue shirt, with his sleeves rolled up his arms.
In her memory, the young man who left overseas had suddenly turned into another person when she met him again on her deathbed. Suddenly, he grew up, and he had already turned into a fine specimen of a man that many women would admire.
Perhaps it was because in her mind, Lu Qingfeng was the little boy she had made friends with, preventing her from seeing him as a young man who was like a slowly ripening fruit next to her.
Thinking about it, since they were children, Su Xiaofei had been confident and had no fear of others because of Lu Qingfeng. Even when her mother wasn't around to protect her, Xiao Feng wouldn't let anyone bully her.
However, when Lu Qingfeng fell into a deep coma in her previous life, and she stupidly cut off ties with her mother, Su Xiaofei didn't have anyone to rely on except for herself. She had refused to listen to Xi Qian's advice and insisted on marrying Mo Yuchen, which eventually led to her demise.
But this time, Su Xiaofei intended to change the course of her life. If she couldn't help but fall in love with Lu Qingfeng in this lifetime, then so be it. It didn't matter if people loathed her, but she would remain by his side if it meant that she would be able to prevent him from becoming a tyrant in the future.
If it was another man, she wouldn't have considered them. However, with Lu Qingfeng, she had an inexplicable confidence in her heart that he wouldn't let her down.
"Xiao Feng, why are you here so early?" She asked him.
"Feifei, how could you speak to Xiao Feng like that?" Yun Qingrong frowned and gave Lu Qingfeng an apologetic look, but the young man's expression remained unchanged, indicating that he wasn't the least offended by Su Xiaofei's words.
"Didn't you just come back from your trip with your grandfather yesterday? You should have slept more, and we could meet by noon." Su Xiaofei said in defense, feeling a bit wronged by her mother.
"Feifei, you have to finish your meal before we can leave. Don't worry about me. I can just take a quick nap later." Lu Qingfeng reminded her of their agenda today.
Seeing that Lu Qingfeng didn't seem exhausted, Su Xiaofei ceased her questioning and resumed her meal.
Yun Qingrong glanced at her daughter and then to the small baggage Su Xiaofei had brought down earlier. Although Lu Qingfeng already made his intention towards her daughter known, Yun Qingrong's treatment of him didn't change at all.
"Why are you bringing so many things, Feifei? Just where are you and Xiao Feng going this time?" She asked her daughter.
"We're just visiting someone, Mama. We will be back as soon as possible." Su Xiaofei replied. She had already explained that she would be going on a short trip with Lu Qingfeng, but she hadn't divulged the reason for this sudden trip.
Even Si Yixian wasn't aware that she was already on her way to see and secure his little sister's living arrangements before their impending meeting.
Yun Qingrong conversed with Lu Qingfeng and asked him about his participation in their family business and what his future plans were. She didn't say much and only nodded in response, before excusing herself and went off to work.
"Take care, Aunty Qing." Lu Qingfeng bid goodbye.
Previously, when Yun Qingrong and Su Haoran were still married, her husband gave Lu Qingfeng a cold shoulder and never attempted to have a decent talk with the young man.
Actually, aside from Ye Mingyu, he treated everyone with coldness and superiority, as if he expected everyone to bow down in his presence, which was pitiful in Su Xiaofei's opinion. Compared to Qiao Fengying and Chairman Lu, Su Haoran was lacking in so many ways, but he still dared to act arrogant and ridiculous in front of Lu Qingfeng.
After finishing their breakfast, Lu Qingfeng helped Su Xiaofei with her luggage, dragging it along with him, while Su Xiaofei sat in the backseat and waited for his return. She didn't dare to show it, but she didn't know what kind of date she would have with him later once they were done dealing with Si Yixian's sister.
Their travel duration was quite long, so Su Xiaofei had expected that they would arrive before the sun set.. This would also give her and Lu Qingfeng some privacy to spend some quality time before his departure.
