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

"Something like that." Han Zijun nodded in affirmation. "We can only delay the spreading of the poison in her body. Since she's having twins, the earliest we could deliver them is at twenty-eight weeks."

"Would the poison affect the twins?" Su Xiaofei asked worriedly.

It only dawned to her recently how dangerous and serious this pregnancy was to her and her babies. Since the poison was in her blood, it would only make sense that it would find its way towards her children.

Han Zijun fell silent for a moment as he tried to find the right words to explain his opinion.

"The placenta would provide nourishment and oxygen to your growing babies. It also removes waste products from the babies' blood, but it's hard to tell whether it would be able to block the poison from harming them. We still need to wait a few more weeks before I could run a blood test on them. It can be done around the eighteenth week of your pregnancy."

Su Xiaofei's fell and she sighed. "I see."

"Nine is already investigating it." Lu Qingfeng kissed her crown and rubbed her back in an attempt to comfort her. Su Xiaofei's heart fluttered at the sudden display of affection.

Su Xiaofei knew that Nine was efficient with his work, but she wondered if the man would be able to get to the bottom of the issue. She had been very careful with her meals and her drinks, and she couldn't fathom when she was poisoned without noticing.

Later that day, Su Xiaofei went home with her husband and Xi Qian. Her best friend immediately excused herself and gave the couple the privacy they needed. As Lu Qingfeng tucked her into their bed with such gentleness, Su Xiaofei could feel her eyes stinging with tears.

"Shhh… Don't cry, Feifei. Have you forgotten what Han Zijun said earlier? You don't need to stress yourself up. It would be bad for the babies." He laid next to her, his hand gently rubbing her still flat stomach, which undoubtedly would grow much bigger in the following weeks.

"I'm glad that you are here with me." She said in response, her hand reaching up as her fingertips ran gently over his cheek.

Lu Qingfeng looked like a mess, but he was still sexy as hell. She wanted to kiss him, feel him inside of her again, assure him that she would be just fine, their children would be just fine.

"You can't die on me, Feifei. You aren't allowed to die and leave me and our children."

When her lips curled into a smile, he shot her a glare.

"It's not funny, Feifei. You know that I wouldn't be able to continue living without you. I need you. We need you."

"I know, dear. I'll do my best to keep myself alive. Just promise me that you'll never ask me to abort them ever again. It would kill me before the poison does. If you force me to do it and kill our children, I swear to you, I will hate you so much that I will never be able to look at you. Do you want that?"

Lu Qingfeng pressed his lips into a thin line, but conceded.

"No." He responded, "but you can't expect me to be okay with it either. I want you to fight hard, Feifei."

Silence engulfed them as both were occupied with their own thoughts. Su Xiaofei broke the silence between them as she heaved a deep sigh and curled next to her husband's warm body. His familiar scent perfectly calms her nerves.

"I'm still having that nightmare." She started. "I keep dreaming about that time when Mo Yuchen's people dragged me and forced me to get an abortion. I can't go through that same hell all over again, Lu Qingfeng. The feelings I had for him died the same day he reaped the child out of me. He became the monster in my eyes, and I will never forgive him for that. So please, don't be like him. I don't want to hate you, so stop asking me to abort these children and help me instead."

A sob tore through her, and she pressed her face to his chest. She felt his arms around her and his lips touching her forehead.

"I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I should have protected you better."

"No, it's not. Don't blame yourself for this. How were you supposed to know that someone out there wanted to take my life using the same methods Ye Mingyu used in the past? It was me who failed to pay attention to what I put in my mouth. Regardless of who did it, we will get over this problem soon. I won't let them tear our family apart." Su Xiaofei insisted.

Lu Qingfeng froze at that.

Family.

Once again, Su Xiaofei had given him something so precious.

Lu Qingfeng never had a loving family. He knew that he was born out of need for an heir, not because of love. His mother barely gave him any attention when she was still alive and would only spare him a glance whenever he was in trouble, while his father was barely at home and was constantly absent from the moment he started being aware of his surroundings. He promised not to become like his dead father.

"I'm going to become a father." He voiced out in a daze.

Su Xiaofei parted from him and wiped her tears dry.

"Yes, Vice President Lu, you are finally going to be a father. So, how does it feel being a father at the age of twenty-three?" She smiled at him.

Lu Qingfeng scoffed, but his eyes glinted with amusement.

"You know, I'm way older than that." He reminded her with a pointed look.

Su Xiaofei gasped, then grinned at him playfully.

"Makers above, how could I forget that my husband is an old man trapped inside the body of a young man?"
