"I still don't think it's a good idea for you to spend the night with me, Feifei. What would Aunty Qing think if she knew you were seducing me tonight?" Lu Qingfeng asked her, not daring to move an inch from where he was seated.
He heard Su Xiaofei scoff next to him before hitting the pause button on her phone, placing it on his nightstand.
"Too late. Mama knows I've been coming here these few nights." She informed him. She supposed that her mother might have expected that this would happen.
Lu Qingfeng almost groaned when he heard that. He didn't want Yun Qingrong to think that he was taking advantage of her daughter in her own home. He might need to apologize to her later, just in case Su Xiaofei managed to seduce him tonight.
"Would you have said no?" He suddenly asked, leaving Su Xiaofei confused this time.
She turned her head to look up at his face. "Say no to what?"
What was he even talking about? She couldn't understand.
His eyes then shifted to the small branch of peach blossom resting on her chest, its pink floral design made from the finest pink diamonds. This heirloom was meant to be owned only by the wife of the head of the Lu family. Lu Qingfeng knew the implications of giving this to her.
"To be engaged to me and to be my wife." He started. "When I gave this to you, did you say yes because you truly want to be or…"
"Or what?" Su Xiaofei cut him, as she looked at him with a deep frown on her face.
"Did you think that you couldn't turn me down at that moment?"
Lu Qingfeng had been holding this thought for some time now, ever since Su Xiaofei accepted his indirect proposal for marriage.
Su Xiaofei stared at him for a long time, and he felt a little unnerved by it. Did she regret it now?
"Don't be silly, Lu Qingfeng. I accepted it because I love you. There's no reason for me to turn you down when I know that I cannot be without you now."
Lu Qingfeng was stunned hearing her answer. It was the first time she had vocally admitted that she loved him, and he was floored. He kissed her once, kissed her twice, then quickly grabbed her around the waist to move her onto his lap to get them into a more comfortable position as he continued to kiss her.
Su Xiaofei's lashes fluttered as he continued to kiss her. His hands moved to her jawline before sliding into her hair. She noticed that Lu Qingfeng liked touching her, especially her hair. She would love to tease him about his obsession with her long hair, but she didn't want to risk the chance of him stopping as her punishment.
Truth be told, she quite enjoyed his touch and wasn't repulsed by it.
He slanted her mouth over hers, quietly letting out a long breath through his nose as she softly mewled against his. She then shivered when his hands started wandering over her legs, then moved further down her back as he held her closely.
Su Xiaofei forced herself to pull away, aware of their precarious position on his bed.
His hands stopped abruptly and with slightly glazed eyes, Lu Qingfeng looked at her. The look of her flushed face as she heaved for breath made him smile. Pressing his forehead against hers, he smiled genuinely and whispered.
"Feifei, I love you. No matter how many lifetimes we live, I will only love you."
He heard Su Xiaofei softly chuckled, smiling at him in return.
"That's quite reassuring, Mr. Lu." She grinned at him, patting his shoulder lightly. "Anyway, I came here to discuss something Mama mentioned to me earlier."
The haze in his eyes slowly dispersed and without a word, he fixed the strap of her nightdress that slid down over her shoulder, before loosening his hold on her waist.
Su Xiaofei took the cue and slipped off from his lap and stood up in front of him. This should help them to calm down and talk about important matters before their wedding over the weekend.
"What is it about?" He asked, a little disappointed that she parted from him, but understood why.
"Mama asked me if we're going to meet a marital counselor before our wedding. You know what happened to her marriage, and she didn't want a repeat of it in ours."
Lu Qingfeng nodded in understanding. He wasn't against the idea, as long as Su Xiaofei was okay with it.
"I haven't thought about that." He admitted. He could see why Yun Qingrong would ask Feifei such a question. "I have no qualms about it if that's what she wants, but what about you?"
"Fine by me. Mama said that it would help us understand each other better, and it could avoid misunderstandings between us. Since we are practically merging our lives together, it's only normal to ask what we expect from this marriage." She paused as a thought crossed her mind. "Would your family require me to sign a prenuptial agreement with you?"
Lu Qingfeng shook his head. There was no way he would allow anyone from the Lu family to think that they would have a chance to bully his wife.
"No. Whatever is mine is yours, just don't break my credit score. It would be humiliating for someone like me, don't you think?"
Anyway, he was willing to give her access to his accounts if she wasn't up to opening a joint account with him.
"Of course, my meager one hundred million is nothing compared to yours." Su Xiaofei rolled her eyes and took a seat next to him. However, she was also aware that Lu Qingfeng's relationship with the rest of the Lu family wasn't that good.. Some of his relatives covet to snatch his position and control over the vast assets of the family.
