Lu Qingfeng watched as Su Xiaofei danced with her father. A small smile curling his lips as he saw the content glint in her eyes. He was glad that he was able to convince Qiao Fengying to come to Qiying City in such short notice, considering how busy the older man was recently.
Su Xiaofei then blushed in embarrassment when she stepped on her father's pristine black shoes and lowered her head, while Qiao Fengying took it with humor.
"I'm glad that Feifei is enjoying this day. I was a little worried that she would feel some resentment towards her father for not being here."
Yun Qingrong's voice startled Lu Qingfeng for a moment, not expecting his mother-in-law to be standing next to him. Was he really that preoccupied that he could only see Su Xiaofei in this room filled with people?
"I'm sure Feifei doesn't mind. It seems to me that she has long accepted that Mr. Su has never accepted her or treated her as his daughter." He responded in a low voice.
Lu Qingfeng had never perceived that man as Su Xiaofei's father as well anyway. It was true that Su Haoran had never shown that he cared about Su Xiaofei or even treated her as his daughter. Thankfully, Su Xiaofei didn't care about that 'father' of hers one bit, and couldn't care less if he was rotting behind the bars as they speak.
"It's my fault. I should have never forced him to accept Feifei." Yun Qingrong sighed dejectedly. "He was against me taking in Feifei as our daughter, but I didn't have the heart to abandon her like her parents did after I found her."
"Feifei is so lucky to have you, Mother. I shouldn't be saying this, not when we just got married, but I know you are her everything."
Yun Qingrong laughed at that, but her eyes shone with tears.
"Dance with me, Xiao Feng." She said, to which Lu Qingfeng easily accepted.
He led his mother on the dance floor and followed the slow rhythm of the music. Lu Qingfeng could sense that Yun Qingrong was still worried about his wife. The reason why he and Su Xiaofei didn't plan to go on a honeymoon after their wedding was because Yun Qingrong was about to undergo treatments very soon and neither of them could leave and enjoy their vacation knowing her situation.
"Xiao Feng, I know that you are more sensible than Feifei when it comes to family issues, so I hope that you will become her strength when that time comes…"
She had to admit that her daughter had chosen a good man to become her husband, unlike her. If it was Mo Yuchen whom her Feifei had wed today, Yun Qingrong knew that her heart wouldn't be at ease. She knew very well that the engagement between the two was only a collateral for families' businesses.
However, with Lu Qingfeng, Yun Qingrong wouldn't have to worry about him taking advantage of her daughter for the mere reason the Lu family had way beyond what Bluemedia could offer. Her Feifei could also stand on her own feet anyway and from what she had seen, her daughter was able to adapt to the ways of the industry.
Yun Qingrong had to admit that Feifei had proven herself not only to her, but to those who kept on questioning her ability to lead Bluemedia as well. Not many people knew, but the sudden growth of Bluemedia was courtesy of her daughter's input in their recent projects.
She had considered informing her ex-husband about the upcoming nuptial, but decided not to for Su Xiaofei's sake. Even after their divorce was finalized, Su Haoran hadn't bothered to reach out to their daughter. However, Yun Qingrong supposed that Lu Qingfeng was right. Su Haoran had never considered Feifei as his daughter and could only see Ye Mingyu as his.
Not that Yun Qingrong could blame him. She understood that as a parent, Su Haoran would obviously favor his biological child over an adopted one. However, she also knew that if she hadn't insisted on adopting Feifei, she would regret it in the end.
"You shouldn't be saying such words, Mother. More than anything else, Feifei and I wish you well." Lu Qingfeng frowned, but he understood where Yun Qingrong was coming from. They weren't the only ones who weren't willing to let go just yet.
To be honest, Lu Qingfeng didn't mind marrying into the Yun family instead of forcing Feifei to assume her responsibilities as the wife of the next head of the Lu family. He would rather live with her in peace than to face several family issues every time they met his relatives.
"I'm sorry." Yun Qingrong chuckled and tried to blink her tears away. "You are right. I shouldn't be crying on your special day with Feifei. I'm really lucky to have a son-in-law like you."
Meanwhile, back to the father and daughter pair, Su Xiaofei tried her best not to step on her father's shoes for the second time. She tried to slow down her movements and followed Qiao Fengying's lead as they danced around, giving everyone an impression of the bride being treated like a princess by her father.
Qiao Fengying had been patient, teaching her which foot should step forward and where she should put her hands.
After the song ended, applause echoed throughout the hall. Qiao Fengying returned Su Xiaofei to Lu Qingfeng and patted his shoulder.
"I've always thought that you care for Xiaofei more than a friend could. Being married doesn't mean it's a happy ending. You need a lot of patience and understanding to make it work. I know that this is too much to ask, but please take care of her." He told the young man, feeling sentimental for some reason.
"Her happiness is my utmost priority, President Qiao." Lu Qingfeng nodded. He would continue doing it, regardless if Qiao Fengying asked him or not.. He would rather hurt himself than to betray Feifei, more so now that she was his wife.(f)reewebnovel
