Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 37 - New Year, New Life (3)

There was a saying that the one who seeks vengeance should prepare two coffins. One for your enemy and one for yourself. Su Xiaofei knew that it was too early for her to die, and she should never put her neck in line again after what happened. Earning Master Ouyang's favor and having Yun Xiang in the palm of her hands would be useless if she ended up being dead.

"What are you scheming about now?" Lu Qingfeng's voice brought Su Xiaofei back to reality. She was in the foyer of her home, watching the fireworks lighting up the dark sky. It seemed that they had neighbors who were still not satisfied with the fireworks display that kept everyone busy while she was burning with fever on her own bed.

"What made you think that I'm scheming something?"

Lu Qingfeng joined in and stood right next to her, while everyone was busy trying to find a good spot where they could see the fireworks clearly.

"That's because you have that mischievous glint in your eyes whenever you are about to do something very bad."

Su Xiaofei leaned her head against his right arm and sighed.

"Xiao Feng knows me well." She said in a teasing tone.

Lu Qingfeng looked down at her, but he couldn't see her face this time. Her scent was wafting around him, though, reaching his nose.

"That's not true. Su Xiaofei is an enigma to someone like me." He said after a long silence between them.

Su Xiaofei waited for him to explain his words, but no words came out after that.

Was she really that hard for him to understand? She wondered. Thinking about it, because she was used to Lu Qingfeng's presence around her, she had never bothered to wonder about how he sees her.

Her eyes then caught a familiar figure a couple of meters away from him. Chen Li was trying to hide herself, but Su Xiaofei could sense that the young woman was glaring daggers towards her right now.

"My, my. My Xiao Feng is quite popular, I see. The poor young lady has fallen to your charm." She suddenly said, her gaze straight on Chen Li, who was surprised at being caught by Su Xiaofei.

Lu Qingfeng followed her gaze and spotted Chen Li, who was now cowering in fear. Her eyes avoided meeting his cold gaze.

"It would save us a lot of trouble if she accepted that I'm not even a bit interested." As Su Xiaofei expected, Lu Qingfeng immediately shot down Chen Li's affection towards him.

"You are quite ruthless, Young Master Lu. Won't you at least give her a chance to prove herself?" She said in a mocking tone.

"You know, Xiaofei. If there's something I learned from grandpa, it's that when you truly want something, you have to work hard and be worthy enough to have it. I don't think Chen Li wearing your clothes and things made her worthy of my attention at all."

Su Xiaofei couldn't refute his words and nodded in agreement. She also thought that based on Lu Qingfeng's personality, he wouldn't accept a person like Chen Li to even be near him. Even in her past life, she had never seen Lu Qingfeng close to any woman aside from her.

She fell silent at his words. She should have noticed it sooner. However, now that she knew how Lu Qingfeng thought of her, was it too late for her to change his mind?

Su Xiaofei parted with him and looked at his face, but his expression remained unreadable even for her. How come she hadn't noticed it before?

"You have another week before you and Xi Qian return to the academy, right?" Lu Qingfeng suddenly asked.

"En. I cannot miss any more of my classes, considering that in a few months Qian and I will graduate." She affirmed.

Now that he mentioned it, Su Xiaofei remembered that after Ye Mingyu made a scene at her home with her mother, Ye Mingyu would transfer to the same academy she and Xi Qian were attending. It was the start of Su Xiaofei's plummeting reputation.

She needed to do something to change the course of the events in her favor. If she still allowed Ye Mingyu to befriend other people to tarnish her name, she feared that her win this time would be short-lived.

"It will be fine."

Su Xiaofei whipped her head to look at Lu Qingfeng. He was staring up at the sky, his handsome face being lit up by the different colors of the fireworks.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I feel like you've been on the edge these days, Xiaofei. I'm not sure what you are thinking or what kind of problems you are dealing with, but you have to remember that I'm still here."

Oddly enough, Su Xiaofei suddenly felt that her worries had somewhat eased.

"What if I tell you I killed someone? What would you do?"

This time, it was Lu Qingfeng's turn to look at her as if she had grown another head over her shoulder.

"That depends on who you have killed and what's your motive in killing them. If they deserve their death, I know a good place where you can discard their dead bodies."

Su Xiaofei was stunned at that. Lu Qingfeng shouldn't be saying these words at the young age of fifteen. As she looked at him, she wondered that this was a state of a tyrant in the making.

"I'm just joking, Xiao Feng." She awkwardly laughed, and she had this feeling that Lu Qingfeng wasn't joking at all.

"However, I believe that a debt of blood must be settled with blood, too. I'm not planning to taint my hands with their blood anyway. I would merely borrow someone's dagger to do that."

'In this lifetime, I would like to see how these shameless people try to execute the same scheme and tricks!'
