As her birthday party continued, Su Xiaofei spotted Qin Muyao, along with Lu Qingfeng and Song Yiran working at the barbeque area, happily discussing things between them. Lu Qingfeng caught her looking, but he only gave her a slight smile before turning his attention back to the two men accompanying him.
"Heh, why would our Feifei be bothered if Ye Mingyu was with her ex-fiance? I would say she wouldn't have time to worry about it because someone has been keeping her preoccupied." Shen Jiao said with a teasing smile on her face, making Su Xiaofei look away from Lu Qingfeng's small group.
Xiao Rufeng looked at Su Xiaofei, then to the young man Song Yiran and Qin Muyao were talking to. She'd been hearing things about Lu Qingfeng being her manager's boyfriend, but this was the first time she had seen him after a long time.
She remembered seeing them once when she thought that Su Xiaofei was a talent recruit at Bluemedia, and couldn't help but think that the two looked better together. It made sense now why her manager wouldn't even bat an eyelid when a handsome actor would try to hit on her. It was simply because Su Xiaofei was immune to their charms, given how dashing and eye-catching her boyfriend was compared to those men.
"Is he also working in showbiz?" She couldn't help but ask Su Xiaofei out of curiosity. Su Xiaofei and Xi Qian barely mentioned anything about Lu Qingfeng when they were talking about him, aside from the fact that he grew up with them.
"No. His family business is into finance and investment banking." Su Xiaofei smiled. "Pity he isn't a celebrity, right?"
How can she not know what Xiao Rufeng was thinking? It wasn't the first time that someone complimented Lu Qingfeng on his looks and mistaken him as a celebrity.
Shen Jiao and Xi Qian laughed, with the latter shaking her head. Xi Qian couldn't imagine Lu Qingfeng being a celebrity. The closest thing that little tyrant could do was modeling, since he had superb looks that could attract both genders. She could say the same thing when it comes to Su Xiaofei too.
"I doubt that Lu Qingfeng would agree to pose for a magazine cover. He doesn't seem fond when someone is trying to take his pictures, even when we were younger." Xi Qian commented.
"He's a private person, Qian. You should know this by now." Su Xiaofei defended her boyfriend. "At least, only I would be able to enjoy looking at him." She smirked behind her wine glass.
"Fei Jiejie! Fei Jiejie! Happy birthday!"
A familiar voice of a child called Su Xiaofei's attention. She turned to the direction where the voice came from and saw Tang Liyan coming their way with her young daughter in tow. Her daughter's name was Lin Chunxiao.
When Su Xiaofei helped Tang Liyan and her daughter move out from her husband's home, the girl had been fawning over her, declaring that she would be Su Xiaofei's little sister. Lin Chunxiao loved spending time with Su Xiaofei every time she got the chance, and she constantly asked her mother to bring her along to Bluemedia to see Su Xiaofei.
Lin Chunxiao released her mother's hold on her hand in favor of running towards Su Xiaofei in excitement. She then wrapped her small arms around Su Xiaofei's waist and looked up, giving Su Xiaofei a wide smile.
"Xiaoxiao, thank you for coming." Su Xiaofei gently patted the girl's head and smiled. She made sure to place the wine glass she was holding down to avoid any accident while being with Lin Chunxiao.
"Wow, I haven't seen you for three months and you already look taller now. A little more and you will be taller than me." She then teased the young girl.
Hadn't it only been yesterday when she held the trembling toddler in her arms, while Tang Liyan was having a hard time dealing with her failing marriage and work at Bluemedia? It was a miracle that the actress managed to muster enough courage to stay strong for her daughter and did her work superbly during the production of 'The Poisonous Concubine'.
"Ah, what do I do, Fei Jiejie? If I grow up, does it mean I won't be your little sister anymore?" Lin Chunxiao pouted. It was obvious that she was getting taller as she grew up, while her Fei Jiejie had become more beautiful as time passed.
"How can that be? Even if Xiaoxiao grew up into a beautiful woman, she's still my meimei that I adore." Su Xiaofei then gently gave the girl a slight pinch on her cheek, before regarding the girl's mother.
"Miss Tang. I'm sorry for the late invitation. I didn't plan any of these." She told the actress.
"It's no bother, Miss Su. I'm glad that President Yun has invited me and Xiaoxiao to come and celebrate your birthday." Tang Liyan replied with a smile. "Also, Xiaoxiao has been bugging me lately to pay you a visit since she insisted on wanting to see you."
"How can we miss Fei Jiejie's birthday today?" Lin Chunxiao beamed a smile to Su Xiaofei. "You never invited us before on your birthdays."
Su Xiaofei laughed, but she didn't want to admit that the reason why she wasn't interested in celebrating her birthday was because she didn't find it important to celebrate it anymore. While she was grateful for being given a chance to relive her life, until she was able to make peace with the monsters in her head, she knew that she was bound to seek revenge in this lifetime.
"Xiao Fei, happy birthday." Someone greeted her. Su Xiaofei would recognized that voice anyway.
Su Xiaofei thought that she had enough surprises for her special day. However, when the Qiao family arrived, she couldn't stop the smile blooming on her face.. Her father and younger brother had come to celebrate her birthday for the first time.
