Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 252 - A Truce With Xi Qian (1)

As soon as Su Xiaofei came back to Qiying City with Lu Qingfeng, she didn't immediately go to see Si Yixian. She needed to take her own college admission exam before anything else. This was why most of her plans had to be paused for the meantime, and everything was left to the Zhang siblings to make sure that Qin Muyao and Tang Liyan wouldn't encounter problems while she was gone.

With Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng's assistance, Su Xiaofei wasn't worried that she would fail her admission exam. If in her past life she disregarded her studies, this time she didn't want others to use her educational attainment against her. She wanted to prove that she wasn't just someone with a beautiful face!

After her return, she went straight into an intensive studying mode with Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng's help. Combined with the stressful remaining weeks before the school year ended, Su Xiaofei's days in QCA had been peaceful without worrying about Ye Mingyu nor Feng Xue'er coming after her.

The day of the exam finally came and Su Xiaofei woke up unusually early and was ready to face the day. How can she not be up so early when she'd been tossing in her bed last night, unable to fall asleep, feeling so anxious for the exam?

As for the changes that took place since her rebirth, Su Xiaofei had already expected a butterfly effect that would be enough to cause so many unforeseen events in the future. No matter what, she was different from the foolish Su Xiaofei who not only ruined herself, but also dragged her loved ones down with her.

"Xiao Feng, what are you doing here?" She asked when she reached the foot of the stairs, replaceing Lu Qingfeng speaking in a low voice with her mother.

"I came to accompany you to the university." Lu Qingfeng said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Feifei, I won't be able to accompany you today. I'm sorry." Yun Qingrong apologized to her daughter. As much as she wanted to cancel her appointment for today, it couldn't be delayed anymore as Bluemedia finally found an actress that could play the lead role for "The Poisonous Concubine" after declining Bai Qingyue's demands.

"Oh, no. Mama. Don't worry about me. I understand. Xiao Feng will be going with me today anyway, and we'll bring Qian with us, but you can't certainly miss our celebration party later when the result is out!"

Yun Qingrong's lips twitched slightly as she looked at her daughter. She then thought that having a sensible daughter was way better than keeping her treacherous ex-husband. Unlike before, when her daughter was always replaceing a reason to argue with her, Su Xiaofei was becoming a daughter she could truly be proud of.

"Of course. I'll be sure not to miss it. I'm sure my Feifei will ace her exams." She said with confidence.

Just as Su Xiaofei said, Lu Qingfeng and Xi Qian accompanied her to the university where she would take the admission exam. Upon arrival, they immediately saw a horde of parents accompanying their children. They were all nagging to their children to do their best and not to dilly dally when they answered their exams.

As Su Xiaofei looked at the small crowd, she wondered how it felt having such supportive parents on such an important event in a person's life. However, as she thought about it, Qiao Fengying might be the one who would try to encourage her to do her best, and she couldn't expect anything from Bai Qingyue's part.

"I'm heading in! Don't fight while waiting for me, okay?" She told the two before adjusting the small purse she brought with her and was about to turn to leave when Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng stopped her at the same time.

"Wait!" They both exclaimed as both of their hands extended in a gesture to stop Su Xiaofei from leaving before they could say their piece.

Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng glanced at each other and realized that they both wanted to cheer Su Xiaofei on.

"Feifei, don't hand in your papers early and check it thoroughly, okay? Don't worry too much and just focus on your paper." Xi Qian reminded her best friend once she noticed that Lu Qingfeng had once again given way for her to speak with Su Xiaofei first.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingfeng handed her his lucky pen, much to Su Xiaofei's amusement. She was aware that this same pen was the one she gifted him when they were younger and the one he'd been using whenever he had to take exams.

"I'll lend this to you for the meantime." He told her. "You can skip the hard questions and answer the easy ones. By doing this, you won't spend too much time stuck on a hard question, and you'll be able to answer as many questions as possible."

Su Xiaofei let out a laugh and took the pen from his hand. As soon as she took it, her eyes slightly widened when Lu Qingfeng placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. It was brief and before she knew it, Lu Qingfeng had already pulled away from her.

Xi Qian was just as surprised as Su Xiaofei. She was stunned upon witnessing such an intimate scene between her best friend and Lu Qingfeng, which only proved her assumptions that these two were starting to see each other in a different light.

Now that Su Xiaofei was aware of the little tyrant's intention, Xi Qian knew that she also needed to step back and allow her best friend to decide for herself whether Lu Qingfeng was a better man for her than Mo Yuchen. She could only hope that this little tyrant won't make their Feifei cry like Mo Yuchen did in the past.

After Lu Qingfeng kissed Su Xiaofei, he stepped back and looked at her as if he hadn't done anything earlier.

"Now, you are ready. Make us and Aunty Qing proud of you, Feifei." He said calmly.

Su Xiaofei gaped at him, but decided not to question him for the meantime, as her exam was about to start.

"Thanks! With you two here to cheer for me, I'm not so nervous anymore." She said before bidding goodbye to them again and hurried to the assigned room where she would take her exam, leaving Xi Qian and Lu Qingfeng together.

"What now?" Xi Qian asked him. She wanted to interrogate him about the real score between him and Su Xiaofei, but she supposed she would wait for her best friend to come clean herself, rather than questioning this little tyrant.

"You want to know if Feifei and I are together?" Lu Qingfeng voiced her curiosity once they walked out of the premises of the university, much to Xi Qian's shock.

However, since he had willingly raised the issue, Xi Qian supposed that it wouldn't hurt to probe him for some answers. She stopped in her tracks and stared at him with hawk eyes.

"En. I want to know if you and Feifei are together now." She replied, deciding not to hide her curiosity.

"Not yet, but we'll get there eventually." Lu Qingfeng replied nonchalantly, as if he was certain that no other man could pass through him and sweep Su Xiaofei away from under his nose.

Xi Qian scoffed at that, thinking about how this young man was so arrogant, in her opinion. At least now, his presence was now more tolerable compared to before, where they would start a silent war against each other whenever Su Xiaofei wasn't paying attention.

"Aren't you leaving soon? How sure are you that Feifei won't meet another man that can make her fall in love?" She retorted with a huff. Just because Mo Yuchen was out of the scene, it didn't mean that Su Xiaofei would like him.

Lu Qingfeng gave her a confident smile, his eyes showing that he wasn't bothered with Xi Qian's words. In his previous life, he always worried about Su Xiaofei because of her infatuation with Mo Yuchen. However, in this lifetime, he was lucky that she was able to see the kind of man Mo Yuchen really was and wouldn't fall for his charms a second time.

Moreover, Su Xiaofei was someone who once she made a decision, it would be hard to sway her to change her mind. Since she had decided to cut ties with Mo Yuchen, Lu Qingfeng now only needed to work hard so that he would be a better man and husband for her in the future.

"Feifei and I trust each other. Before anything else, we must establish trust and respect for each other to be together, don't you think? I trust Feifei's judgment now. I'm sure she won't be easily swayed by another man while I'm not around."

Xi Qian remained silent and looked at him with a straight face. She knew that her arguments and differences with Lu Qingfeng needed to be settled sooner or later for Su Xiaofei's sake, but she hadn't expected that this little tyrant would change his tactics too soon on pursing her best friend.
