Chapter 86 - The Closest Person In Her Heart (2)
When they stepped out of the restaurant, it also coincided with Mo Yuchen leaving the other restaurant with a partner he had met for a meeting. His eyes narrowed when he spotted the three, waiting for their ride to arrive.
Su Xiaofei ignored him, while Lu Qingfeng and Xi Qian glared at him in return.
Lu Qingfeng was visibly annoyed seeing Mo Yuchen today and didn't bother to hide his disgust towards the other man. If he wasn't trapped in this adolescent body of his and was the same age or a little older than her, Lu Qingfeng would have swept her away from Mo Yuchen's reach.
No matter if it was in the past or this lifetime, just seeing his face was enough to make Lu Qingfeng boil with anger. He suddenly thought that all the things he'd done in his second life, after Su Xiaofei's death, wasn't enough to quell the rage in his heart.
Su Xiaofei was his beloved, and yet in the hands of this man, she was trampled and discarded once her purpose had been served.
Mo Yuchen looked like he felt insulted for being ignored by her. He eyed Su Xiaofei, but she remained uninterested to acknowledge his presence, even though she was aware that he was there.
If it was in the past, Su Xiaofei would have thrown herself at him and bombarded him with questions as to what he was doing here or if he was being accompanied by another woman.
Now that Su Xiaofei doesn't want him anymore, why did Mo Yuchen act like he was the one being wronged by her? Xi Qian thought.
He couldn't even take the initiative to annul his engagement with Su Xiaofei, now that she had voiced her intention to back out from it. If Mo Yuchen truly despised her and didn't want to be with her, he should have given back her freedom to marry whoever she wanted to in the future, but he didn't.
With these thoughts, Xi Qian was itching to go to the other side of the road to confront the man, but Su Xiaofei stopped her by holding on to her wrist.
"Qian, didn't you say that your shift is about to start in half an hour? We don't have time to waste then." Su Xiaofei said with a smile.
Xi Qian had no choice but to agree and entered the car with Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng. They watched as Mo Yuchen followed them with his gaze until they were out of sight.
Xi Qian snorted and crossed her arms in annoyance.
"So annoying. If he doesn't like Feifei, why won't he say anything and break their engagement himself? Is he really that weak that he and his family needed to rely on Aunty Qing's help to save their company? This only shows that they are incompetent businessmen, then."
Lu Qingfeng chuckled at that.
"What Xi Qian said made sense, don't you think, Feifei?"
"Right. It must have hurt his fragile masculinity to know that he has to rely on my mother's help to save their company, but that would never happen. They wouldn't be able to use my mother unless they manage to force me to join the Mo family."
"As if we would allow that to happen." Lu Qingfeng commented.
"As if!" Xi Qian chimed in. "Feifei, whatever happens, even if Mo Yuchen kneels down to ask for your hand for marriage, don't you dare accept him back."
Su Xiaofei felt warmth in her heart, seeing how concerned they were about her well-being. She was truly blind and foolish for disregarding them in her past life.
"Qian, how would I be able to get married in the future if you are scaring people off like this?" She laughed behind her hand.
The smile on Lu Qingfeng's face vanished. She wasn't thinking of marrying another man now, was she?
"Feifei, I won't allow anyone to marry you unless they get my approval. Don't you dare forget that you made this promise to me a long time ago."
"Yes, I did." Su Xiaofei nodded. "How could I forget? I wouldn't dare, Qian."
It was just too bad that she literally broke this promise in her previous life when she married Mo Yuchen without seeking Xi Qian's approval.
It was precisely because of this that she had given her approval to Li Xiran when he sought her permission first to court, Xi Qian. At first, she was curious as to why he was asking her permission when he could have just seen her best friend behind her back.
'You are the closest person to Qian. She holds you in high regard in her heart, so please, Miss Su, allow me to be with her.' Li Xiran told her.
She wondered if her rebirth would affect Xi Qian and Li Xiran's meeting that should happen in seven years. Seven years was a long time for Xi Qian to wait for her beloved, but that's alright. Su Xiaofei would make sure Xi Qian would be happy and safe until Li Xiran arrived in her best friend's life.
"You made such a pact?" Lu Qingfeng furrowed his brows. He wasn't aware that such a promise between these two existed, but he shouldn't be surprised at all, given how close Feifei was to Xi Qian.
"Of course, Xi Qian is my best friend." Su Xiaofei affirmed. "Since she has a pair of useless parents, there's no one who would give her away when she gets married in the future. I promised her that I would be the one to walk her down the aisle to pass her hand to her future husband."
Xi Qian blushed at that. Indeed, the reason why she and Su Xiaofei made this pact was because she was worried that no one would represent her family on her wedding day, just in case she decided to marry in the future.
"I see…" Lu Qingfeng nodded before turning his attention on the road.. If that was the case, then he really should learn how to get along with Xi Qian for Su Xiaofei's sake.
