Chapter 11 - I Should Have Listened To You (1)
Once Mo Yuchen was out, Xi Qian hurriedly sat next to Su Xiaofei on the bed and held the latter's arm.
"Feifei, are you alright?" She asked with a weird expression on her face.
Was Su Xiaofei's sudden change in demeanor similar to what Mo Yuchen claimed earlier? Was her best friend just trying to play a mind game with him, or had Su Xiaofei truly gotten over him?
Xi Qian had been Su Xiaofei's best friend since they were in fourth grade, and she was aware of Su Xiaofei's obsession towards Mo Yuchen. No one knew Su Xiaofei better when it came to Mo Yuchen than Xi Qian, since Su Xiaofei only confided her feelings towards that man with her best friend.
Su Xiaofei, of course, was aware of what was going on in Xi Qian's mind, but she couldn't blame her friend for doubting her. In her past life, in order for her to marry Mo Yuchen, she had exerted immeasurable efforts to make it happen.
"I'm okay now, Qian. The doctor said I can go home tomorrow." Su Xiaofei gave her friend a small smile.
Xi Qian froze. She and Su Xiaofei used to argue a lot about Mo Yuchen, especially on how Xi Qian thought that he wasn't good enough for her friend, but Su Xiaofei insisted on pursuing him. Xi Qian couldn't believe that there would be a day that Su Xiaofei would find the man disgusting, enough for her to chase him away in their presence.
As much as she loved Su Xiaofei, Xi Qian was against her friend being with a man who was clearly not interested in Su Xiaofei or her wellbeing. How could she bear to see her friend repeatedly being bullied by Mo Yuchen?
Even Lu Qingfeng was staring at Su Xiaofei, deep in his own thoughts. The slight frown on his face was an indication that he was also suspicious of Su Xiaofei's intention and her sudden change of treatment towards her fiance.
Su Xiaofei gave Xi Qian a gentle smile before resting her head against her friend's arm affectionately. Now that she had a clearer mind, she wondered what made her fall madly in love with Mo Yuchen in her past life. Thinking about how she acted and her muddle headedness in the past, Su Xiaofei wanted to facepalm herself.
The tragedies that had befallen her family and Lu Qingfeng could have been avoided if she had let go of her obsession with Mo Yuchen. The more she thought about it, the more she resolved to make things right.
While it was true that she schemed against him and Ye Mingyu in her past life, trying to make them feel miserable, Su Xiaofei never attempted to kill them. So why was it that she, the one who was conferred by everyone as a villainess, had to lose her child?
She must have been really foolish back then. However, this time, Su Xiaofei didn't mind being a villainess in everyone's eyes, so long as she could have the last laugh.
"Really? You don't like Mo Yuchen anymore?" Xi Qian tried to probe her for answers.
"I realized that I was foolish for chasing after a man who's obviously not into me. If he doesn't like me, then so be it. Why do I need to make my life harder than it already is?"
Su Xiaofei thought her previous self was laughable. She was raised by her adoptive mother as an heiress, yet she lowered herself to love that kind of man, and the worse thing was, he had repeatedly rejected her over and over again!
Xi Qian bit her lower lip, but didn't dare to question Su Xiaofei more. She could see in her friend's eyes that she had decided not to pursue Mo Yuchen anymore, which was a good thing. She could only hope that Su Xiaofei wouldn't change her mind this time.
"Then it's great that you are over that fool. I told you he doesn't suit you, Feifei." Xi Qian hugged Su Xiaofei back and smiled.
"Right. I should have listened to you a long time ago." Su Xiaofei hid her sinister smile behind Xi Qian's hair.
"It's enough that you know." Lu Qingfeng reminded them of his presence.
Su Xiaofei glanced at him and she saw that he still had a slight frown on his handsome face.
Looking at the young Lu Qingfeng, Su Xiaofei felt that it had been a long time since she had seen him this close. He still had some of his childlike features, but she was certain that he would grow to a fine specimen of a man in the future.
Indeed, everything was fine for now. She still had a chance to cut off her ties with that bastard Mo Yuchen, save her mother from dying with a broken heart and forbid Lu Qingfeng from turning into a vicious tyrant in the future.
If her assumptions were correct, she would be able to change Lu Qingfeng's future as well. The memory of the man who had stood in front of her tombstone with a pair of listless eyes was still clear in her mind.
Su Xiaofei never wanted to see him in such a state again. However, as she looked at the fifteen year old Lu Qingfeng, she realized that his heart's intention, even at such a young age, was already too deep for her not to notice.
"Now that that's finally settled. I brought your favorite blueberry cheesecake, Sister Xiaofei." Lu Qingfeng said with a straight face, which irritated Xi Qian at once.
Before they overheard the argument between Mo Yuchen and Su Xiaofei earlier, they had met at the local bakery and fought over who should buy the last cheesecake for Su Xiaofei.
Xi Qian wasn't born into a wealthy family, unlike Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng, and she only received a few hundreds as a monthly allowance from her parents. This was why she needed to get a part-time job to support herself.
"Hey! Didn't we agree to say that we bought it together?!" She exclaimed.
