Su Xiaofei straightened her back and refused to back down. She merely raised a brow at him, before nonchalantly turning her head to meet the other person who was seated next to her. Still, Mo Yuchen's eyes remained on her, observing her with curious eyes.
Mo Yuchen could see that this woman was far different from his wife in his past life. While she still had the air of arrogance on her, her eyes had a gleam of intelligence in them. It was far from the arrogant and misplaced confidence she used to sport before.
His wife used to be a carefree woman, doing whatever she wanted to her heart's content. Others thought she was ruthless and selfish, but for him, she was a woman who had never experienced bitterness, which in turn planted that arrogance from her young age.
There were things he wanted to do in the past but couldn't. He wondered if he would be able to change anything this time, considering that this world — no, this lifetime seemed drastically different from where he came from, though most prominent people in his life existed just like Su Xiaofei.
Su Xiaofei hadn't become an exceptional actress, but succeeded her adoptive mother in the company. Lu Qingfeng was alive and well, and Ye Mingyu had lost the support of the Ouyang family.
There were so many possibilities, but Mo Yuchen wasn't certain which was the truth or not. He was reborn, but this world was still a mystery to him. He couldn't understand what caused this sudden change in Su Xiaofei's personality.
Was there a possibility that she was reborn like him too? He pondered.
Su Xiaofei continued to pretend that he didn't exist, even though she was aware of his presence after their gazes met earlier. The meeting started, and she kept her eyes on the screen and occasionally preferred reading the papers in her hands as it progressed.
Mo Yuchen cupped his chin and chose to focus on the matter at hand instead, but his eyes couldn't help but seek Su Xiaofei who was seated across from him. He felt like it had been a long time since the last time he had seen her.
When he found out about her death in his previous life, he was devastated. Ye Mingyu had not only ruined his life, but also his marriage. He didn't even get a chance to see her remains. He couldn't even hold her as Lu Qingfeng made sure he wasn't able to get close.
To think he would be able to see Su Xiaofei again, Mo Yuchen didn't know how to explain the emotions he was experiencing at the moment. Was he reborn for a reason? If he were able to change the events in this lifetime, would he be able to live happily with her?
His eyes caught the red plum blossom on her necklace, and his eyes narrowed dangerously. How could he not know what it implied? Lu Qingfeng had taken a claim on her, and he didn't know what to feel about it.
He had never been comfortable knowing how close Su Xiaofei was with Lu Qingfeng. Lu Qingfeng had been so obvious that he was into her, vying for her attention. If he hadn't married Su Xiaofei at the time, when Lu Qingfeng was in coma, Mo Yuchen had no doubt that the young man wouldn't waste his time to snatch her from him.
'My previous self is an idiot for agreeing to annul our engagement.' Mo Yuchen thought as he remembered the report given by his assistant.
If his previous self wasn't such a dolt, he would never let such a thing happen. Now, it would be hard for him to get Su Xiaofei back on his side.
His wife. He needed his wife badly. There were times at night where his thoughts were filled with her.
However, seeing that Lu Qingfeng had already made a move and was eager to marry Su Xiaofei as soon as he came back, Mo Yuchen was at a loss at how to stop the younger man. Su Xiaofei had suddenly taken over her mother's seat too early, considering that Yun Qingrong hadn't shown any intention of retiring these past few months.
'There must be a reason for this.'
Once the meeting ended, Su Xiaofei fled from the conference room after exchanging a few words with other attendees. She walked past him and didn't acknowledge him, which made the atmosphere awkward for those who witnessed it. It wasn't a secret that she and Mo Yuchen were once betrothed to each other a few years ago.
"President Su." Mo Yuchen called after her, stopping Su Xiaofei in her tracks in the hallway.
Su Xiaofei didn't think that he would seek after her. Considering the heated argument during their last meeting, she really wasn't looking forward to having another word with him.
Sighing to herself, she turned around to look at him, seeing the obvious change not only in his demeanor but also in his eyes. She was startled for a moment, not knowing what it meant, but she decided to brush it aside since she refused to give Mo Yuchen any chance to mess with her mind.
Lu Qingfeng, her soon-to-be husband, was waiting for her back at home. She would rather be in his presence than be with this man who repeatedly trampled her heart as if it was worth nothing.
"CEO Mo, I'm not in the mood to argue right now."
Her day had started out good, and she couldn't wait to go home and see the copies of the photographs from their afternoon photoshoot. She didn't want the end of her day ruined by an argument with Mo Yuchen now.
"I came to say congratulations on becoming the president of Bluemedia. You've come a long way." Mo Yuchen said in response.
Su Xiaofei furrowed her brows together and stared at him, wondering if this man was somehow hit in the head.
