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

Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng had to wait outside the Director's office, while the old woman had a private talk with Si Yuxuan. They both had a glimpse of the woman, and it couldn't be denied that Si Yuxuan had special needs by the way she spoke and how her body moves involuntarily.

As they waited for the two, they were also becoming the center of attention among the young children residing at the orphanage.

"Pretty Sister, are you a celebrity?" One of the children mustered the courage to ask Su Xiaofei a question after they all pushed one another as they wanted to know why she and Lu Qingfeng were here.

"Oh?" Su Xiaofei raised a slender brow. "What made you think that I'm a celebrity? Don't you think I'm a demon that came here to eat naughty children?"

This remark from her effectively made the young children cower in fear and hid behind their older companions.

Lu Qingfeng huffed beside Su Xiaofei and thought that no wonder other children were afraid of her. Not only did she have an intimidating look, but she also knew how to scare children with her mere words.

"Huh? Beautiful women could also be a demon?" A young boy asked in confusion as he looked at Su Xiaofei.

Another boy harrumphed and crossed his arms over his chest and said arrogantly, "Don't you know that most beautiful women in movies were bad people? I should know because my bro said that we should be wary of beautiful women!"

Su Xiaofei couldn't help but laugh behind her hand after hearing that, while a small smile crossed Lu Qingfeng's lips as he stood next to her.

Lu Qingfeng thought that this young boy wasn't wrong at all. Beauty wasn't the danger, it was the veil of distraction that lures one into danger.

Beautiful women by far have the most tragedies linked to their name. From heartbreakers to being misunderstood, that's one long list. It takes a hell lot of courage and heavens of tolerance to deal with a beautiful woman.

Much like a spider's web, the only way to stay unharmed was to stay away from spiders, but with Su Xiaofei, Lu Qingfeng knew that he was doomed for eternity. Even if he wanted to, he knew that her influence on him was deep in his bones and he couldn't live his life without her.

"That's right. When you see a beautiful woman, you shouldn't easily believe her words or else she will eat you." Su Xiaofei agreed with the second boy.

"But would you really eat us, Jiejie?" A young girl murmured as she hid behind a taller kid, her eyes looking at Su Xiaofei with awe.

"Naughty kids are my favorite! They taste great. As long as you listen to your elders and don't cause trouble for others, I and the other demons won't eat you while you sleep at night." Su Xiaofei grinned in return.

After saying this, the children argued with each other as to who was the naughtiest of them and what they did bad the past few days.

Lu Qingfeng shook his head and rested his arms against the railing as they watched the children argue.

"A demon, huh? You must be the demon the heavens sent my way to test my resolve." He commented.

Su Xiaofei snickered at that.

"What? So what if I'm a demon? Don't worry, Xiao Feng. Unless you are Tang Sanzang1, I won't eat you." She assured him with a wicked grin.

"Who said that I don't like to be eaten by you?" Lu Qingfeng retorted. "However, once you eat me clean, Feifei, I'll make sure you won't get away so easily."

"Stop saying such nonsense. People might misunderstand you."

Su Xiaofei's face turned beet red upon hearing that, and was itching to smack Lu Qingfeng's head for even daring to say such a thing to her in the presence of young children. She also didn't want others to misunderstand that she was exploiting him.

Where did he learn such indecent things anyway? Was he spending so much time with his teammates that Lu Qingfeng was starting to pick up some influence from them?

At sixteen, Lu Qingfeng was still growing and the end of puberty was in sight. It was the age where young men like him were in their mid-teens -- somewhere in the space between adolescent and young man.

Su Xiaofei hadn't paid much attention to Lu Qingfeng when he was at this age in her past life, but she did notice that he was starting to spend less time with her and was trying to get along with his peers.

"I'm not even joking. If you dare to eat me clean without signing the papers, I'll make sure to run to your mother for help. Let's see which side she would take once she heard what happened."

"Nothing happened! Don't feed my mother with the wrong ideas, Xiao Feng." Su Xiaofei scowled, then wondered what was taking the director so long.

"Right. You are a demon." Lu Qingfeng hummed. "No one can play with me for too long aside from you."

Su Xiaofei didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable hearing that. She couldn't surmise what Lu Qingfeng was even thinking as she glanced his way. His expression remained the same, forbidding her to even get a hint of what was going on in his mind.

Why was she feeling like this? The more she thought about him, the more Su Xiaofei was hesitant to let him go. This was far from what she felt when she was infatuated with Mo Yuchen.

Su Xiaofei didn't like this feeling of uncertainty, as if she was facing the unknown. However, she couldn't let go. The fear of losing him was greater than her fear of falling in love again. Just thinking that she would never see him again was enough for her heart to feel like a hundred needles were piercing her at once.

Tang Sanzang is a central character in the 16th century novel Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en.. He is constantly terrorised by monsters and demons due to a legend which says that one can attain immortality by consuming his flesh because he is a reincarnation of a holy being.
