Rebirth of the Villainess: Young Master Lu’s Wicked Wife

Because Su Xiaofei had no idea that Lu Qingfeng was also reborned like her, she still felt that it was inappropriate for her to be with him. Regardless if she was living in an eighteen-year-old body, her soul was that of a woman in her late twenties.

What would people say if they knew that she was way older than Lu Qingfeng? She also didn't want to think that she was taking advantage of his innocence and his young age.

In her previous life, even when she told him to move on and find another woman to love, didn't he spend his remaining days thinking about her? Her name lingered on his lips even at the last moments of his life.

She would be heartless if she said that she wasn't moved by his dedication to her, but Su Xiaofei wanted to give him a better choice this time. She shouldn't monopolize his attention and should allow him the chance to meet other women aside from herself.

Su Xiaofei knew this and yet, she could sense a slight bitterness in her heart.

"Xiao Feng, I'm not ready to commit to anyone right now." She said truthfully. "But I do appreciate that you hold me in your heart."

It hadn't been too long since she was reborned, and the pain and grievances she carried from her previous life were still fresh on her mind and deeply embedded in her heart.

Lu Qingfeng might be young, but she had no right to easily dismiss his feelings towards her. Regardless of his age, Su Xiaofei knew Lu Qingfeng's personality better than anyone else. She couldn't just turn him down. He was a very determined person. Once he had decided on something, it would be hard for others to change his mind.

"I understand." She heard Lu Qingfeng say. His voice was very pleasing and clear, like flowing water. It was different from his icy persona in front of others.

Even now, Lu Qingfeng had remained calm and didn't force her. This was precisely why Su Xiaofei knew that as long as she was honest with him, he wouldn't dare to do anything reckless.

"In the future, when you return and realize that you still feel the same about me, let's talk about how we should proceed then."

If after five years he still held her in his heart, perhaps Su Xiaofei would be able to make peace with her own heart by then. 

"Promise?" Lu Qingfeng's eyes glinted under the dimly lit garden of the hotel. Half of his face was in the shadows, so Su Xiaofei couldn't clearly see his expression from where she was standing.

Su Xiaofei went closer to reduce the distance between them, giving him a good look, she couldn't help but think that he was very handsome and would certainly surpass Mo Yuchen in a few years. With a profound gaze, Lu Qingfeng had always looked courteous yet unapproachable at the same time.

"En. I'll give you my word." Su Xiaofei reaffirmed. By saying this, not only was she giving Lu Qingfeng enough time to grow up, but she was also allowing the two of them a chance to sort their feelings towards each other.

Lu Qingfeng seemed satisfied with her answer and didn't question her anymore. Since she had already decided, he could only wait until that day came. Suddenly, even for someone who had already lived three lifetimes, he felt like five years was a long time for him to wait.

Su Xiaofei, on the other hand, felt like there were so many things for her to settle and build before she could work on changing the course of their future. Love could wait, but her revenge couldn't.

Every scene from her past life kept replaying in her mind, going as far as haunting her late at night. The experience from it felt like a dream. However, Su Xiaofei remembered them clearly.

There were even days that she would wake up, fearing that she was once again back in her previous life. If it was heaven's way of reminding her not to get sidetracked from her mission, then clearly they were doing a great job.

Lu Qingfeng remained silent next to her. Even when the other guests came out to watch the fireworks display that was about to start in celebration of the founding anniversary of QCA, the two kept their silence as they were preoccupied with their own thoughts.

He held her hand as they watched the dark sky lit up by colorful fireworks. He was confident that Su Xiaofei would be fine without him, as she had changed immensely. With Xi Qian by her side, he would also be at ease knowing that she wouldn't go back to Mo Yuchen during his absence.

Just as Su Xiaofei had expected, Ye Mingyu was nowhere to be found. The young woman probably couldn't take the heat as she faced everyone's repulsive comments about her. Did Ye Mingyu think that only she could use everyone's ire as an advantage?

One must know the rules of the game before initiating it. There were unwritten rules that everyone had to follow in the upper circle, and with Ye Mingyu trying to raise herself by stepping on Su Xiaofei, it was normal that the onlookers would pay attention to it.

Whether Su Xiaofei was one of them or not, if she were easily trampled by a newcomer, it would only mean that she wasn't fit to be at their level. Yet, Ye Mingyu thought of herself as clever. By borrowing someone else's blade, she thought that she would be able to harm Su Xiaofei's reputation without having to dirty her hands.

In truth, she was actually very stupid. She had no idea that the blade she borrowed was a double-edged blade that could also harm her if it was not used properly.

To put it simply, even with Ye Mingyu's pretty face and excellent academic achievement, she shouldn't have used her inferior status as a weapon against Su Xiaofei in order to enter the upper circle.. She was only making her life difficult by targeting Su Xiaofei as her sole competitor.
