Chapter 89 - I Want To Become A Cat Lady! (1)
"Really, Xiao Feng. You should have told me you were leaving today. I could have prepared myself for the shock." She complained as she flopped on his bed in the guest room he'd been occupying for over a week now.
"You know, I'm only staying here temporarily until my grandfather returns from his trip. I didn't know you desperately wanted to live in the same house with me." He gave her a feral grin as he placed his neatly folded clothes back into his luggage.
Nine, his trusted assistant, was already waiting for him downstairs, with the car ready for their departure.
Su Xiaofei scoffed and threw a pillow at him, but Lu Qingfeng easily caught it midair before placing it back next to the headboard of the bed.
"Watch what you're saying. People might really misunderstand what you are saying, you rascal!" She glared at him.
"What else should I say then? First, you want my money, now, you want me to live with you. Sorry, Xiaofei. I would do no such things until there's a marriage certificate between the two of us. You can't possibly enjoy the perks of being my wife, without taking responsibility for me."
Su Xiaofei felt she was about to choke from his shamelessness this time. Who told him she wanted his money?! She was only joking when she asked if he was willing to give her 100 million! As for him living with her under the same roof, she had said no such thing at all!
"Lu Qingfeng! Can you even hear what you are saying?! If others can hear you now, they might think that you're insinuating that you want to marry me at such a young age." She grumbled. She knew that he loved her in her past life, but did he really have to make it awkward between them, now that she had proposed to break her engagement with Mo Yuchen?
"What if I said I really want to?" This time, Lu Qingfeng's voice didn't have any hint of teasing, but he wasn't looking at her.
"W-what?" Su Xiaofei sat up and stared at him in shock.
"I said, what if I really want to marry Da Jie whom I met when I was younger? I want to marry Da Jie and live with her when I grow up." Lu Qingfeng repeated what he had just said, but now, he was staring at Su Xiaofei right in her eyes.
If another man had said these words to her, she would've choke slammed him on the spot, but this was Lu Qingfeng.
Su Xiaofei, who had just received a proposal from the fifteen-year-old Lu Qingfeng shouldn't be taking his words seriously, but why did she feel like her face was burning from shyness?
'Hey, now. Don't tell me I have a thing for Xiao Feng too.' She berated herself inwardly. She shouldn't have added fuel to the fire if she didn't know how to extinguish it in the first place. However, this only proved that Lu Qingfeng was already harboring such thoughts and feelings for her.
Wait. If she was also attracted to Lu Qingfeng romantically, wouldn't that mean if Mo Yuchen was out of the scene, she would naturally be drawn to Lu Qingfeng?
'No. That can't be right. When we were at this age in my past life, aside from looking after me at the academy and being friendly with my Mama, Xiao Feng never made any indication that he was attracted to me or made remarks like this.' Su Xiaofei shook her head, making Lu Qingfeng raise a slender brow at her.
The intensity of his gaze towards her made Su Xiaofei conscious of what she looked like at the moment. What had made him like someone like her? Didn't everyone say that she had a horrible personality?
Su Xiaofei really doesn't have a clue as to what made Lu Qingfeng feel drawn to her, even going as far as destroying Mo Yichen and Su Haoran's family in her past life. It would have been better if he learned to move on after her marriage to Mo Yuchen and marry another woman, but he didn't. Until his last breath, her name was on his lips, calling after her.
"You're still young. You are only fifteen now. In the future, you'll meet a lot of women more beautiful than this Da Jie." She muttered, trying to avoid meeting his gaze.
"That's true. They might be more beautiful and smarter than Da Jie, but if they aren't Da Jie, I would rather not marry anyone at all."
Su Xiaofei stared at him in disbelief. Why did she feel like she was digging her own grave this time? She couldn't remember Lu Qingfeng acting like this in her previous life at all!
"What if this Da Jie didn't have any intention to marry anyone at all?" She retorted.
"I'll make her change her mind, until she is willing to become the one and only Madam Lu." Lu Qingfeng replied in an instant.
"What if I want to become a cat lady?"
"Not possible. I know you like cats, but didn't you say that they hissed at you whenever you tried to pet them in the past."
"I'm my Mama's only child. I'm not willing to leave her alone."
"That's fine. I know you will constantly worry about her. I don't mind if Aunty Qing wants to live in the same house with us, as long as she's banned from entering the master bedroom."
Su Xiaofei stared at him as if he'd already lost his mind. Did he really think about it that far?
Aiya, this young man was too smart for her small brain! Lu Qingfeng always had an answer to her retort which was frustrating. So annoying!
Was she really talking to a fifteen-year-old lad? This fellow was really dangerous to her sanity.
"Don't try to dissuade me, Xiaofei. You will only fail. I assure you.." Lu Qingfeng chuckled, seeing her annoyed face.
