Su Xiaofei thought that by ignoring Yun Xiang, she would be spared of his gloomy mood today. She realized how wrong she was when she found herself being cornered by the man a few hours later.
"Brother Xiang, is there something I could help you with?" She asked, but her eyes were already looking around, trying to find the best escape route for her to use. There was no reason for her to get involved any further with Yun Xiang as she still couldn't forget her grudges towards him from her previous life.
Yun Xiang frowned when he noticed that Su Xiaofei would rather look somewhere else than look at him. After years of trying to earn her favor and attention, Su Xiaofei was still giving him a cold shoulder and wasn't willing to be alone with him. It wasn't like he would harm her in some way, but he couldn't understand the reason behind her aversion to him.
He couldn't think of anything he had done to make Su Xiaofei uncomfortable in his presence. Yun Xiang thought that after she treated him to a fancy dinner as a thanks for helping her find Andrew Si's missing sister, their relationship with each other would turn for the better.
How wrong he was when Su Xiaofei declined each of his invitations to hang out, and she always had a reason to turn him down. It frustrated Yun Xiang to no end, trying to figure Su Xiaofei out.
Yun Xiang stared down at the woman in front of him, his brows furrowed in confusion. Su Xiaofei was doing it again. She could smile brightly to others, but she would only give him a cold treatment as if she didn't want to be in the same place as him.
"Xiao Fei, I heard the news. Is it true that you and Lu Qingfeng are together now?" He asked.
It immediately soured Su Xiaofei's mood as she shot him a sharp look. Was the reason for his foul mood today? Because she decided to date Lu Qingfeng? What about it? Whether she wanted to date Lu Qingfeng or not, she believed that it was no one's business but hers.
However, seeing that Yun Xiang wasn't willing to let her off the hook without hearing her answer, Su Xiaofei took a deep breath to calm her nerves.
"Yes, we are together now and I hope everyone will give us their support and be happy for us."
She didn't miss how Yun Xiang hardened his jaws upon hearing her answer and she couldn't believe that he was bothered by it.
As she stared at his face, realization dawned upon her. Her eyes slightly widened before she pressed her lips into a thin line as she realized why Yun Xiang was acting like this towards her.
It couldn't be that he had somehow developed romantic feelings towards her, right? Was he even aware of it? She wondered.
Yun Xiang was head over heels for Ye Mingyu in Su Xiaofei's previous life and even when Ye Mingyu chose to be with Mo Yuchen, he remained faithful to her until the end. In his eyes, Ye Mingyu was a goddess, while she, Su Xiaofei, was the evil and cruel villainess who wanted nothing more but to harm Ye Mingyu.
Su Xiaofei thought that the idea was ridiculous as she never gave Yun Xiang any indication that she liked him or that she was interested in him. In fact, she made it clear with her actions that she didn't want to become his friend and would only be civil with him as his biaomei.
She found it funny that the man who continued to persecute and humiliate her in her previous life was now helplessly in love with her. With their relationship as cousins, it would be impossible for Yun Xiang to chase after her.
She wasn't sure if it was karma biting Yun Xiang hard in the ass, but she wasn't comfortable being the apple of his eye. Su Xiaofei didn't want another man other than Lu Qingfeng. Even the thought of being touched by another man was repulsive to her.
It wasn't like she had become a germaphobe after her rebirth, but Su Xiaofei found it disgusting when an opposite sex touched her hand or any exposed part of her skin, except for Lu Qingfeng.
Even when Mo Yuchen touched her during her stay at the hospital almost made her want to scrub the part of her face that he touched.
As for Yun Xiang, she wasn't sure how to deal with him now. Should she allow him to live in misery, knowing that he would suffer an unrequited love towards her until he freed himself from it or would it be better to break his heart in a cruel way?
"Are you sure about him? I know that you and Lu Qingfeng have been friends for a long time, but are you sure you want to be with him?"
At his question, Su Xiaofei narrowed her eyes dangerously, not bothering to hide her displeasure towards him.
"Brother Xiang, I trust Lu Qingfeng. In this world, I'm certain that no man could love me more than him. Please don't make it sound like he forced me into this."
"Xiao Fei, that's not what I mean. I…" He stuttered, trying to find the right words to explain himself. He didn't mean to offend her by questioning her like this.
Yun Xiang started to panic, seeing that Su Xiaofei was upset with him now. He only wanted to make sure that she would be fine with Lu Qingfeng, but he didn't expect that she would misunderstand his concern.
"Lt. Yun's worries are misplaced. Since Feifei has said that no man in this world could love her more than me, I now have to make sure to live up to her expectations."
Su Xiaofei turned around and found Lu Qingfeng leaning against the wall, his strong arms folded on his chest, eyes staring at Yun Xiang.
