Su Xiaofei scoffed loudly, but the genuine smile on her face was a giveaway that her mood had somewhat improved after talking with Lu Qingfeng. Perhaps it was because she had never experienced something like this before, and perhaps because she could only lower her guard and be herself around Lu Qingfeng.
The only thing she couldn't be honest with him about was the fact that she was reborn, and she managed to retain most of her memories from her previous life. Even if she shared it with him, Su Xiaofei wasn't sure if Lu Qingfeng would believe her, despite them being in a relationship.
"I hope your trip won't be extended. I'm already missing you." She heard Lu Qingfeng admit.
Su Xiaofei smiled and took a deep breath, allowing herself to finally relax.
"I will be back before you know it." She replied, though she also wanted to be home right now, more than anything else.
"By the way, I just received a call from President Qiao. Qiao Tech has already remitted our profit for this quarter, which means that you've already reached your one hundred million target."
Su Xiaofei's brows shot up. She hadn't expected that she would really be able to reach her target in five years with Lu Qingfeng's help. Although she knew that her biological father's company would flourish around this time, Qiao Fengying managed to avoid losses along the way due to her and Lu Qingfeng's funding.
"That's thanks to you, Lu Qingfeng. I wouldn't be able to reach my goal this early if you haven't helped me with it."
"Now that you've reached your goal, what do you have in mind, Feifei?" He asked.
Since Su Xiaofei was aware that she wasn't as smart as Lu Qingfeng when it came to handling money, she had allowed him to manage the fund she was keeping hidden from her mother. After all, Yun Qingrong might wonder where she obtained such a hefty amount of money, but no one would question Lu Qingfeng, as his family was obviously better off than hers.
"Dear, do you think we would be able to buy some of the Golden Star shares without the Mo family noticing?" She asked.
This was something she had in her mind since she sorted out her thoughts after her rebirth. However, she was also aware that it wouldn't be easy, as the Mo family wouldn't let the others get their hands on their family business. It would be foolish for her to face them head on recklessly.
When Su Xiaofei didn't hear any response from Lu Qingfeng's side, she wondered if Lu Qingfeng was mad at her for even thinking about Mo Yuchen again. Mo Yuchen used to criticize her whenever she was being close to another man, and he even went as far as forbidding her to visit Lu Qingfeng when the latter was in a deep coma after their marriage.
Su Xiaofei didn't think that she wanted to experience such toxicity in her life ever again, and she didn't want her relationship with Lu Qingfeng to be ruined because of another man.
"It's not that I still want to notice me, but I couldn't let go of this grudge I have in my heart…" She tried to explain, feeling that she needed to make it clear to Lu Qingfeng.
"Feifei, there's no need for you to explain. When you told me years ago that you were over him, I believed you. If it makes you happy to see the Golden Star in shambles and Mo family's downfall, that I shall make it happen for you."
Su Xiaofei released a breath she didn't know she was holding and started to laugh awkwardly. Based on what Lu Qingfeng said, wouldn't that mean that he was still walking on his path of becoming a tyrant in the future?
"You would really dirty your hands just to make me happy?" She questioned him.
"You always say that you are a selfish person, Feifei, but don't you know you aren't the only one? I'm a selfish person too. Since Mo Yuchen had bullied you for years, making you cry, why should I pity him? Your happiness is my utmost priority now."
Su Xiaofei didn't know if she should feel guilty because Lu Qingfeng was willing to harm other people because of her or not.
"It's my choice, Feifei. You don't need to think too much about it." Lu Qingfeng said as if he knew what she was thinking at that moment. "It doesn't matter if people don't understand, so long as we trust each other."
"Okay." Su Xiaofei accepted his answer. Since he had put it that way, she could only hope that Lu Qingfeng wouldn't regret helping her this time.
"So, about my question…"
"It's possible, Feifei, but as you know it won't be easy. We might need to ask for others' help for this, and I know just the right person who could help us." Lu Qingfeng assured her.
"Do you trust this person? How sure are you that he wouldn't betray us?"
"I don't think Song Yiran would do such a thing." He said in defense, surprising Su Xiaofei.
She hadn't expected that the person whom he was talking about would be Song Yiran.
"Why him?" She asked curiously. So it turned out Song Yiran wasn't just a friend. No wonder he came all the way to ask for news when the car accident happened. She trusted Lu Qingfeng, but the same couldn't be said about Song Yiran.
"You might not know it, Feifei, but Song Yiran is my partner in the small company we started three years ago."
Su Xiaofei could remember him mentioning this company in the past, but he claimed that he wasn't active in managing the company and left the responsibility to his partner.. With his busy schedule at Lu Corporation and balancing his time with his master's degree, it would be hard for Lu Qingfeng to be present everywhere.
