Three days later, Lu Qingfeng picked up Su Xiaofei at Bluemedia, immediately earning people's attention once he strode to the lobby of the company building and took the private elevator with Nine. It wasn't even the first time that he'd paid her a visit at her workplace, but he couldn't seem to get used to the stares he was receiving from Bluemedia's employees and guests.
When the door slid open, the two were greeted by Zhang Lan, who then led them to Su Xiaofei's office. Su Xiaofei's secretaries, who were stationed outside her office, stood up upon seeing him and greeted him politely, knowing that he was a close friend of their president.
Lu Qingfeng wasn't surprised to see his wife bent over a document with a deep frown etched on her beautiful face. To think that she had given up her lifelong passion for acting in front of the camera and decided to work behind it, Lu Qingfeng couldn't be more proud of his wife.
He knew she had given up a great deal just to lessen the burden on her mother's shoulder and to make sure her friends, like Xiao Rufeng, would lead a better life this time. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that their life was too different from what they previously had.
Su Xiaofei was now alive and happier, married to him. Xi Qian was doing well and was far from the clutches of her family, albeit her romance with Li Xiran wasn't progressing as he expected it to. Xiao Rufeng was able to avoid her end by meeting Yan Xiuchen and Yun Qingrong had a chance to avoid her death because of Bai Qingyue.
All of these happened because he and Su Xiaofei had made the better choice for them.
Su Xiaofei lifted her head when she heard their footsteps, her smile spreading on her lips as she looked at him. She stood up and gestured to her husband to take a seat, while Nine and the Zhang sisters left to give them some privacy.
"I thought you were already done. Did I come too early?" He asked as soon as he sat down.
"No. I'm just trying to clear as much work as I can so I won't be too busy for the rest of the week."
"Are you sure you don't want to send her off?" Lu Qingfeng asked his wife. He'd informed her over a phone call earlier that Bai Qingyue was about to be discharged from the hospital as she had chosen to transfer to another hospital for the rest of her recovery period.
"What's the point?" Su Xiaofei asked in return, resting her head against his arm, deciding to take a break from her work. She was starting to realize how she missed spending more time with her husband.
"It was obvious that she had already made up her mind. There's nothing else we could do if she really wanted to leave." She reasoned out.
He frowned but said no more. It was obvious that the mother and daughter would never see themselves on the same page, no matter how they truly felt inside. He just wished that neither of them would regret it and lead a happier life once this is over.
"I received a call from Chen-ge." He recalled the recent conversation he had with Yan Xiuchen. "Did Xiao Rufeng inform you about their current arrangement?"
Su Xiaofei pulled away from him and ran a hand over her face. Just thinking about Xiao Rufeng was enough to remind her of the problems that may arise because of her talent's decisions. Xiao Rufeng surely avoided her death by meeting Yan Xiuchen, but she wasn't sure if it was okay for her talent to get involved with the scarred man.
"I trust Chen-ge, but you don't have to put blind faith in him." Lu Qingfeng commented. "The only thing I could vouch for is that he's a very private person and a decent man. I'm surprised that he's attracted to Miss Xiao."
Lu Qingfeng had known Yan Xiuchen for years now, and he certainly knew that the older man wasn't interested in getting involved with women. Yan Xiuchen refused to give him more details, though, but it was enough for Lu Qngfeng to know that Song Yiran might have been right when he implied that their eldest brother was interested with the actress.
"I really can't do anything about it." She sighed. "I just wish that everything would work out for the two of them."
She didn't want to see Xiao Rufeng in a mess again. She had a hard time helping her friend. During those times, it seemed as if Xiao Rufeng had hit her rock bottom when the man she loved abandoned her and chose her younger sister instead.
Su Xiaofei could understand Xiao Rufeng's pain, because she had experienced the same thing in her previous life when Mo Yuchen turned his back on her and decided to be with Ye Mingyu instead.
"Let them learn from experience. Maybe it would turn out good for them. It took us years to be together anyway." Lu Qingfeng shrugged. He really never had an opinion on who his brothers should be dating anyway.
Su Xiaofei nodded. "I couldn't agree more with you."
She had wasted a whole lifetime before she realized that she was meant to be with him. She would have avoided the tragedy in her previous life if only she had paid attention to the red flags during her entire ordeal with Mo Yuchen.
Su Xiaofei admitted that she was guilty and at fault for what happened to herself. She also thought that Xiao Rufeng also deserved a second chance in love like her.
But would Yan Xiuchen be the right person for her friend? Su Xiaofei wondered.
She shook her head. Just as Lu Qingfeng said, they could only hope for the best for their friends. Maybe by being with Yan Xiuchen, Xiao Rufeng would learn patience from the man.
