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

Although Ye Mingyu had stepped back from the limelight, Su Xiaofei kept a close eye on her. She knew that the wedding preparation between Ye Mingyu and Han Yize was already happening. The date was set, but it was obvious that the groom didn't want to participate and help with the planning of the wedding.

As promised, Huo Yuxin kept her distance from him, which only fueled Han Yize's anger towards Ye Mingyu. The marriage between the two was destined to crumble on its own. With neither love nor respect for each other, Su Xiaofei knew that she only needed to wait and see how Ye Mingyu would end.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaofei used this rare opportunity to spend more time with her family. When she returned home from work, she didn't expect to find Lu Qingfeng arriving before her, looking after their girls.

"Look who's finally here. Mommy's just got home and needs to clean up first before she can hold you, okay?" Lu Qingfeng murmured softly to their youngest twin as he held the infant on his chest.

Su Xiaofei raised a slender brow, but understood that her husband was merely making sure that the twins wouldn't easily pick up any illnesses.

"Alright, I'll be right back." She conceded. "I should have known better."

Once she left, Su Xiaofei's ears picked up Yanyan's crying sound. Her daughter must have been upset that she didn't go and take her from Lu Qingfeng's arms. Yanyan and Xiao Yue were turning four months old soon, but the two obviously had their own individual preferences.

She couldn't remember what happened when she gave birth to them, but Su Xiaofei would never be able to forget how she felt the moment she held the twins for the first time. The memories she had on that day faded in her mind, but she remembered having a word with Xi Qian before she lost consciousness on the operating table.

"Qian… if you have to… please choose… choose to save them."

Xi Qian looked at her, eyes shining with tears.

"Do not speak of such things, Feifei." She bit back. "I agreed for you to continue this pregnancy because I want you to be happy and live with no regrets. Perhaps I've been foolish all along."

"Don't say that, Qian. You don't know how relieved I am that you stood by me." She said before losing her consciousness.

Su Xiaofei knew that she couldn't be so lucky for the second time and vowed to herself never to put her husband and her loved ones in such a difficult situation again. She couldn't afford another mistake that could threaten their lives.

She was given a chance to live her life again, and yet she had stupidly hurt Lu Qingfeng and everyone because her selfishness. If she died during childbirth, Lu Qingfeng would be miserable all over again. She wouldn't have another chance to rectify her mistake if that happened.

When she returned to the nursery dressed in her house clothes and freshly came out from shower, Yanyan was already dozing off in the crib next to her sister.

"She threw a fit when you left. I really don't know where she got this trait." Lu Qingfeng murmured as they watched their children asleep.

"You really don't know?" Su Xiaofei chuckled. "I know someone who could be as persistent and clingy as her."

She gave him a knowing look. A glint of mischief flashed in her eyes.

"Even now, I know that he keeps a secret folder on his phone that contains pictures of me. I bet he made another folder filled with new pictures of his daughters."

Lu Qingfeng looked away, but there's a distinct blush on his cheeks. He didn't even deny what Su Xiaofei had just said. Su Xiaofei really liked seeing him flustered like this and knew very well that he wouldn't bother to defend himself.

"By the way, Grandpa wants to introduce them to the public and the rest of our family soon. Would it be alright with you?" Lu Qingfeng asked, trying to change the topic between them.

"I don't mind, but would they be safe from your prying relatives? Aside from Lu Jinglin and Grandfather, I trust no one from your family."

"That's why he asked for the Yun family's assistance this time." Lu Qingfeng replied. "With Mother and uncles' intervention, I don't think my relatives would do something to the girls. You should have seen how your three Uncles reacted when Mother brought them here for a visit the other day."

"These two easily won their hearts, didn't they?" Su Xiaofei chuckled, amazed that their children were able to win over her uncles so quickly.

She and Lu Qingfeng grew up lacking love and attention, but they were both glad that their daughters wouldn't suffer the same. Although her relationship with her birth parents were improving now, it wouldn't change the fact that their absence during her childhood had affected her so much.

"En. I wouldn't have any doubt that Grandpa and your father just gained more competitors for the one who could spoil these two the best." Lu Qingfeng smiled genuinely.

"Are you and Dad okay now?" Su Xiaofei asked. "Should I have a talk with him and explain your side?"

Her husband shook his head. Su Xiaofei could still sense the pain and guilt in his eyes. It wasn't his fault, but hers, but Lu Qingfeng chose to take it as his sin to bear.

"There's no need, Feifei. He was right when he said I failed you and I learned a lot from that mistake. I know it might take some time for your father to forgive me, but I'll do my best to prove that it won't happen again."

"That, I know. I know I need to change and become a better person for our girls, but I'm afraid I'm not done yet. Not until I get rid of Ye Mingyu will my grievances be put to rest." She admitted.

Lu Qingfeng held her wrist and pulled her away from their sleeping daughters. Although their minds were still young, he didn't want them to hear what Su Xiaofei was saying.

"You aren't planning to kill her, are you?"

He was aware that Su Xiaofei was the one pulling the strings to force Ye Mingyu and Han Yize to marry, though he doubted that she had predicted that her nemesis would fall pregnant in the process.

Su Xiaofei shook her head.

"Of course not. Death would be an easy way out for her, after all the horrible things and situations she put me in. I want her to experience the despair and suffering I endured because of her. Though I know that in some way, I'm also responsible for what happened in the past, I cannot forgive her for plotting against Mama's life."

Though Su Xiaofei couldn't understand why that horrible woman was given a chance at rebirth, she wanted to see what Ye Mingyu would do if she found herself in Su Xiaofei's shoes. However, it only disappointed Su Xiaofei, for it opened her eyes to just how foolish she'd been in her previous life.

She blindly rushed into marriage with Mo Yuchen, thinking that both of them could be happy. She deluded herself that they were in love and it was Ye Mingyu who broke their marriage apart, when it was doomed to end from the very beginning.

"Be careful then. Ye Mingyu might be occupied with her impending marriage, but if she turns her attention back to you, know that I wouldn't turn a blind this time and would deal with her myself."

Su Xiaofei took his hand and placed it on her cheek, noticing how warm he was despite his cold countenance.

"I'm so lucky to have you as my husband. I don't think there's anyone else that could compare to you." She said with all honesty, wanting to express her gratitude to her husband.

Lu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then his gaze lowered to her parted lips. Was it really his persistence on seeking her that brought them together? He didn't want to think that Su Xiaofei only chose him and married him out of pity.

"Did it bother you when you found out what I feel for you?"

It was only at the end of her life in their previous life did he voice out what he felt for her. He didn't manage to confess his feelings the first time and though he managed to tell her in the second one, it was too late for him to change anything.

"I admit that it caught me off guard. I only thought that you were overprotective of me because we almost practically grew up together. How naive I was to think of it, but I know better now." Su Xiaofei stepped forward, invading his private space.

"Darling, it's too late to regret, don't you think?" She asked before allowing their lips to meet halfway.
