Chapter 156 - I Will Become Your Man (2)
Chapter 156 - I Will Become Your Man (2)
This wasn't what Su Xiaofei was expecting to hear from him.
"Once I graduate from middle school and turn sixteen, he wants me to go to Shenjing and focus on the succession of the company."
"I-I see. So that's how it is." Su Xiaofei replied.
Just as she thought that she could spend good days with him and Xi Qian in the future, he would have to leave her side again. However, wasn't this too early? Su Xiaofei thought.
In her previous life, Lu Qingfeng only left Qiying City to study abroad after he graduated from high school. He did live for sometime in Shenjing after he finished his degree, but he didn't stay there for too long.
By the age of twenty-one, when he was about to return to Qiying City, he was ambushed on his way, sending him into a comatose state. So what could have triggered this sudden change this time? Su Xiaofei wondered. She wasn't sure about the internal struggle the Lu family was facing at this moment, but for Lu Qingfeng to be actively involved this early meant that Chairman Lu was in a tight spot.
Lu Qingfeng gauged her reaction. Actually, he was the one who requested it from his grandfather. The earlier he was able to establish himself in the Lu Corporation, the harder it would be for his relatives to question his authority.
Since he has retained the skills and knowledge he gained in his past life, there was no need for him to be sent abroad to study again. He only needed to pull out the weeds before they cause trouble for him in the future. With his knowledge about his assassination in five years, he would like to turn the tables on the enemy this time.
However, he also knew that Su Xiaofei wouldn't be pleased with his sudden decision. With her capable bodyguards around, Lu Qingfeng was assured to receive daily reports about her wellbeing.
Su Xiaofei awkwardly laughed and released his hand. She didn't want him to see the hesitation in her eyes. She knew she couldn't stop him from leaving Qiying City.
Shenjing was over a thousand kilometers away from Qiying City. It would take at least five to six hours by high-speed train and two hours by plane just to reach it. For those traveling in a hurry, flying was the better choice, while for budget travelers, high-speed trains were recommended.
Su Xiaofei, of course, had been to Shenjing in her past life. She had remained in Qiying City but would occasionally travel to Shenjing for work.
"Is this why you are persistently trying to pursue me?" She asked him, trying to dispel the awkwardness between them.
"When Da Jie said that there might be no man who would be willing to marry her in the future, I have already decided to become her man."
Su Xiaofei's face turned red. It was just a silly expression of grievance by a young girl, did he really have to take it seriously? Still, the thought that in just six months, she wouldn't be able to see Lu Qingfeng for some time, disturbed her.
Perhaps because she was now aware of his feelings that she was somewhat sensitive when it comes to him lately. However, with his young age, Su Xiaofei thought that there was no need for them to rush things when it comes to the matter of the heart. She just didn't expect that he would be leaving so soon.
"Don't you think it's unfair, then?" She asked as she faced him. "What would happen to me after you leave? You would just leave your girl somewhere, expecting her to wait for your return? I didn't think you would be like this, Xiao Feng."
"I would have taken you with me wherever I went if you were willing, but I know it's not possible, right? Because I'm still young, even if I ask Aunty Qing for your hand in marriage, I'm still lacking in so many ways, Feifei." Lu Qingfeng said, as if it also pained him to know that he needed to be parted from her for the meantime to grow up.
"Are you really determined to pursue me?"
"Is it wrong if I wanted to date you?" Lu Qingfeng countered. "It's not like you are legally bound to that Mo Yuchen. Other young men my age are already seeing someone, why can't I do the same? I want to be together with you. In the future, when I'm old enough, I will become your man and no one will be able to bully you."
"But what if I miss you?" She asked curiously.
"Call me whenever you want, I will answer it regardless of what I'm doing." Lu Qingfeng said without batting an eyelid.
Su Xiaofei frowned at that. For other women, it might sound like sweet, honey words, but not for her.
"You can't be irresponsible, Xiao Feng. A good man knows how to balance his time and knows his priority. You can't just offend anyone else because of me."
"Alright, then you can message me first, and I will call back once I'm done with whatever I was handling." Lu Qingfeng felt more relaxed. He knew that she would be fine without him for the next few years.
Su Xiaofei chuckled at that and thought that she must be really losing her mind, allowing herself to consider Lu Qingfeng. But how can she not be moved by him? After witnessing his tyrannical actions in the past, she could only take the responsibility for it.
Ah, how could she allow this? Was she always a person who would dig her own grave to lie in until she couldn't find the way out?
Even though Lu Qingfeng said he liked her, she couldn't understand which part of her he actually liked, because in all honesty, Su Xiaofei didn't think that she was a likeable person.. All she knew was to run away, trying to protect herself from getting hurt again because of love.
