Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife-Chapter 551 Tearing Apart (2)

Ten minutes later, Lu Qingfeng joined them. Yun Qingrong smiled at him and their conversation shifted to another topic. Now that she was on her road to recovery, she couldn't wait to see how life would turn out for her growing family.

Suddenly, she was hoping that her daughter would give birth to her grandchild soon. Although Yun Qingrong knew that Feifei and Xiao Feng were delaying to start a family of their own and focus on their respective careers, she couldn't help but imagine how lively their home would be once there's a child to brighten up their day.

"What do you have in mind, Mother?" Lu Qingfeng asked, when he noticed that his mother-in-law had been awfully quiet since his arrival. He suddenly felt that he missed something.

"Oh, nothing too serious. Just wondering when you and Feifei would give me some grandchildren. Dad also asked me the same thing yesterday, but I told him that you two are quite busy these days." She said, before smiling when she noticed how red her daughter's face was.

"Mom really knows when to joke." Su Xiaofei muttered next to her husband.

"Oh, dear. This old woman really can't wait to hold her grandchild now that she has a chance to live longer. I'm not pressuring you and Xiao Feng though, because I know in due time you will have the little bundle of joy when both of you are ready."

"I'm ready." Lu Qingfen announced shamelessly. "It's just Feifei who seems to be married to her work before me. I'm probably just a kept man after all."

Su Xiaofei pinched his side and glared at him, but she knew that he wasn't lying when he said that he was ready to become a father, but was she?

"By the way, I heard from my brothers that your Brother Xiang has been missing for some time now. Feifei, do you know anything? I thought that he's really fond of you and might have mentioned anything that bothered him." Yun Qingrong asked her daughter, much to Su Xiaofei's relief.

She didn't know how to answer Lu Qingfeng's comment about wanting to have a child, though the thought wasn't unwelcomed for her now, unlike before.

Su Xiaofei blinked, while Lu Qingfeng's eyes darkened. He lowered his gaze to hide it from his mother-in-law, but it was too late to keep it from his wife, as Su Xiaofei had already taken notice of it.

"Not that I know of, Mama. We haven't seen nor spoken to Brother Xiang ever since our wedding." She answered.

Yun Qingrong's face fell.

"I was hoping that you might know something. Dad has been looking for him. If he has any problems, he should tell us. We wouldn't mind helping him if there's anything."

"Mother, it's hard to find a person who's not willing to be found." Lu Qingfeng said. "Perhaps he has personal reasons to distance himself."

"I think he's right, Mama. Brother Xiang would surely contact any of us if there's anything he needs." Su Xiaofei agreed with her husband.

"I see, then I hope you and Xiao Feng are right." Yun Qingrong sighed for the umpteenth time already.

Su Xiaofei stared into her cup and mulled about what was going on with Yun Xiang. It can't be that he had fallen in love with Ye Mingyu once again and was planning to harm her reputation in public.

Once they were done with their breakfast, the couple excused themselves and returned to their room. Su Xiaofei closed the door behind her and held Lu Qingfeng's wrist to stop him. He turned around and looked at her in confusion.

"What is it?" He asked.

"You know something, right? You know what Brother Xiang is up to." She narrowed her eyes on him and waited for his answer.

Lu Qingfeng wouldn't have made such an expression earlier if he didn't know anything.

"He's hiding, yes. And he's also been investigating me discreetly for some reason. I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly comes back and accuses me of something." Lu Qingfeng answered, knowing that he couldn't hide anything from his wife when she's questioning him like this.

Su Xiaofei released his hand and stared at him wide-eyed. That wasn't something she expected to hear from him.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?"

He shrugged and took a seat on the bed, pulling her to sit on his lap. Lu Qingfeng had already known that his wife would react like this.

"You were already worried about Mother's condition and had been too busy with work." He said gently, his fingers tucking some of her stray hair behind her ear. "I didn't think he's doing any harm, so I didn't see the need to inform you of it."

"Still, you are my husband!" Su Xiaofei scowled. "What is he even trying to do by investigating you like a criminal?"

She was upset, not at Lu Qingfeng, but at Yun Xiang. Su Xiaofei never thought that her so-called cousin would dare to do such a thing. They might have not gotten along well in her previous life, but Su Xiaofei thought that if she couldn't forgive Yun Xiang for his past deeds, they could at least be civil to each other.

By investigating her husband, wasn't it like Yun Xiang was proclaiming war against them? Just what did he think he was doing by investigating Lu Qingfeng? What was he trying to prove?

Su Xiaofei might not have known, but Lu Qingfeng had an idea why Yun Xiang did it. If Yun Xiang was trying to dig dirt against him, then he would be disappointed.

"Don't worry, Feifei. I'm not sure what he's trying to do, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be able to incriminate me." Lu Qingfeng said, as if whatever Yun Xiang was trying to prove didn't bother him at all. f𝘳𝒆𝑒𝓌𝒆𝗯n𝗼𝘷ℯl. 𝑐𝚘𝘮

"I still don't like it." Su Xiaofei was still annoyed. "If he decides to make a scene against you, I will not forgive him."
