Zhang Lan was able to find Xiao Rufeng's bag on the pavement outside the back door of the club. It only strengthened Su Xiaofei's assumption that Xiao Rufeng was really in grave danger.
As the time continued to tick, the possibility of Xiao Rufeng being harmed would continue to rise. Su Xiaofei had no choice but to call her husband and ask for his assistance. She hated feeling helpless at the moment and she didn't want to take advantage of her husband's resources.
"I've already deployed Nine to find her, Feifei. There's nothing else we can do now but to wait for her news."
And so, Su Xiaofei could only swallow her own pride and prayed like she never had before. It didn't take long before Lu Qingfeng arrived to pick her up and take her home.
Su Xiaofei thanked Song Yiran again for his assistance and left with her husband.
Lu Qingfeng drove his car until he parked it at the underground garage of a high end condominium in Shenjing. He helped her out and they rode an elevator with mirrored walls to his penthouse.
"Where are we going?" Su Xiaofei asked her husband. She was unfamiliar with the place and had no idea why they were here.
"This is where I lived for the past five years. Grandpa isn't home at the moment and I suppose you wouldn't be comfortable being surrounded by his staff." Lu Qingfeng answered.
The instant the door of his penthouse opened, the scent of home cooked meals wafted in the air.
"I cooked before I picked you up. Do you have any appetite for food now?" Her husband asked.
Su Xiaofei's stomach grumbled in response. She had forgotten that she hadn't eaten anything for dinner. If she hadn't smelled the food her husband prepared tonight, she would have totally forgotten about it.
Also her worries about Xiao Rufeng's situation had made her forget things. She suddenly felt a hint of guilt, thinking that she shouldn't be thinking about food and nourishment at this moment.
Lu Qingfeng then went straight to the kitchen and started serving the dishes on the dining table. Su Xiaofei followed him and looked around.
An impressively long, floor-to-ceiling glass wall started from the kitchen, stretched into the dining room and wrapped around the living room. From where the place was located, the penthouse gave Lu Qingfeng the best cityscape scenery.
Elegant rugs were placed on the hardwood floor with built-in shelves filled with several books Lu Qingfeng had read in his spare time. Unlike other homes, there were only two picture frames that could be seen in his living room.
One was a huge portrait of her and Lu Qingfeng during their wedding photoshoot, with genuine smiles on both their faces. The other one, Su Xiaofei found on the corner table, was a picture of her and Lu Qingfeng wearing their QCA uniform.
Su Xiaofei was familiar with this photo. Wasn't this one of the photos that was circulated in their school forum when Ye Mingyu attempted to frame her?
Overall, the place was warm, inviting and not at all like a bachelor pad cliché.
However, as she checked out the place, Su Xiaofei thought that Lu Qingfeng must have been really lonely living in such a huge place on his own. Did he live the same way that Lu Qingfeng had after her death in her previous life?
She stared at her husband, seeing the slight smile on his face, far from the Lu Qingfeng she used to observe as a ghost.
Su Xiaofei washed her hands at the sink, drying it before taking a seat at the dining table. She looked at the dishes and noticed that Lu Qingfeng had prepared her favorites. She would have loved to indulge herself and eat heartily, however, thinking of Xiao Rufeng had somewhat ruined their mood to eat.
Her husband prepared all of this for her and yet, she couldn't enjoy it at the moment.
"Calm down, darling. I know you are worried about Miss Xiao, but please don't neglect your own health." Lu Qingfeng joined her at the table and gave her hand a light squeeze.
"Sorry. I'm just worried about her. Had I known this would happen, I wouldn't have left her on her own."
She shouldn't have left Xiao Rufeng with Ye Mingyu, but it was too late to regret now.
Suddenly, her husband's phone rang, breaking the silence between them.
Lu Qingfeng took his phone and checked to see if it was his private bodyguard, only to see that it was Yan Xiuchen calling him.
"Is something the matter?" He asked. Because regardless of what he was doing, he would do his best to help the rest of his brothers.
"Can I talk to your wife? Xiao Rufeng is here with me and she requested to have a word with her."
That wasn't something Lu Qingfeng was expecting to hear at all. How was it even possible? Lu Qingfeng thought.
"Did you just say Xiao Rufeng?" He replied, taking his wife's full attention.
"Is it Xiao Rufeng?" Her hands came forward, holding onto his arm with worry. "Have they found her? Is she alright?"
Lu Qingfeng raised a hand, gesturing to her to allow him a few moments to talk to whoever was calling him.
"En, she's with me right now. I know you are curious about the details, but allow Miss Xiao to talk to your wife first before I explain the situation." Yan Xiuchen answered him.
"Alright. I owe you one, Chen-ge." Lu Qingfeng said in relief.
"It's nothing. Don't even think about it." He heard Yan Xiuchen chuckle in amusement.
Lu Qingfeng lowered his phone to talk to his wife.
"It's Yan Xiuchen. I don't know the full details yet, but it seems like Miss Xiao is under his care at the moment. She wanted to speak with you."
Su Xiaofei nodded, accepting his phone and speaking to Xiao Rufeng in a hurry.
