Lu Qingfeng didn't mean to eavesdrop on Su Xiaofei's conversation with Yun Xiang. He was just looking for her, wondering where she had gone, as she hadn't come back to join him with the others. He wasn't expecting that she was being questioned by Yun Xiang like this just outside the porch where he and Su Xiaofei usually shared snacks on lazy afternoons when they were younger.
When he heard what Su Xiaofei said in his defense, Lu Qingfeng was elated to confirm that she held him with high regards. He wanted nothing more than to make sure she was happy and safe, and hearing from her lips that it was exactly what she expected of him, Lu Qingfeng swore to live up to her expectations from now on.
Lu Qingfeng knew that Su Xiaofei didn't want to discuss her personal life and affairs with anyone, and it didn't help that she held some grudges against Yun Xiang. If someone dared to confront her, she would typically shrug, irritation surging inside her, especially if the other party wasn't willing to drop the subject.
However, he was also aware of Yun Xiang's interest towards her. As a man, how could he not tell that Yun Xiang had romantic feelings for Feifei, even before he left five years ago? It seemed like Yun Xiang had yet to realize this and had blindly believed that his concerns were instinctive due to his familial ties with Su Xiaofei.
Su Xiaofei rushed to his side and beamed him a wide smile, while Yun Xiang could only look at her in wonder. It was glaringly obvious how different she treated him and Lu Qingfeng, but Yun Xiang supposed that it was merely because she knew Lu Qingfeng longer than him that she could be at ease.
"Is that so?" Yun Xiang's face darkened upon seeing Lu Qingfeng.
"I know so." Su Xiaofei said with confidence. If there's one thing she was certain about, it was that Lu Qingfeng's loyalty and love was way beyond any man could offer to her.
Yun Xiang stared at her. There wasn't even a trace of doubt on her face.
"Alright. If that would make you happy." He said, before leaving the couple alone.
"Is everything alright?" Lu Qingfeng asked, making sure that Yun Xiang hadn't touched her inappropriately.
"No worries. I'm not hurt anywhere." Su Xiaofei smiled at him, before dragging him to her mother's garden to spend some time alone with him.
Lu Qingfeng looked at her and smiled faintly at her eagerness to be with him.
With the sun finally setting, the pathway was now illuminated by the light posts around the garden. They stopped at the familiar tree where the old swing was tied to.
"Are you cold?" He asked when he noticed the slight shiver on her.
Because of their proximity, the words he uttered were almost like a whisper next to her ear. Su Xiaofei snapped her head and looked at him, only to feel his body heat. His breath tickled her sensitive skin, which made her shiver for the second time as his eyes gleamed in anticipation.
"No." She denied, her words a soft whisper.
Lu Qingfeng's head dipped, his mouth capturing hers. He was like an aggressive warlord bent on subduing his subject to submission. He tasted like the fine wine he had drank earlier, which made Su Xiaofei wonder if he was under its influence. Somehow, it made her think that he was more potent than any other alcohol she had tasted in her lifetime.
Her head spun, and she clutched his shoulders, wanting nothing more than to feel more of him. She was aware that his hands were now roaming over her body, leaving a trail of delicious warmth in their path.
There was a moan, and Su Xiaofei wasn't certain who between them made the noise, and didn't care. Lu Qingfeng pushed her against the trunk of the big tree and brought their bodies closer. She felt the thick length of his erection pressed against her belly through the layers of their clothes, and she became aware of how hot her body was.
Somehow, it only intensified her desire, which she couldn't explain. It wasn't like she was new to intimacy, but she had never felt this kind of desire, threatening to consume her from the inside. She had never felt this desirable to any man, as Mo Yuchen would usually give her a disapproving look every time she tried to dress up for him.
She whimpered, but his mouth on hers muffled the sound. Her greedy hands surveyed his body, and she bit back a moan of frustration at the white dress shirt forbidding her to do whatever she wanted.
Finally, Lu Qingfeng pulled away from their kiss, but refused to loosen his hold over her body. His hot breath fanned the side of her neck where her pulse beat rapidly. Su Xiaofei reveled in the sensation he just evoked in her. Whatever it was, it made her addicted to him.
Lu Qingfeng lifted his head briefly to look down at her. The desire in his eyes now replaced with uncertainty. Time seemed to slow down around them as they held each other's gaze.
"I'm sorry, Feifei. I shouldn't have… I shouldn't have done this." He said, his voice a little guttural.
Even now, he was trying to rein his desire to have her, ravish her like he wanted to. However, her decision and choice still mattered to him, first and foremost.
"I think I drank too much." He said, finally releasing Su Xiaofei and noticing how disheveled her hair and little black dress were.
Yes. That damn dress was giving him a headache. While it's true that it looks good on her, it also made him imagine inappropriate things to do with her. Now, it was too late for him to think of the ramifications of his actions earlier.
Su Xiaofei finally smiled and cupped the side of his face.
"It's not like I don't want it."
