Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 431 Friends To Lovers (2)When the two decided to return to the resort, both of them halted when they spotted a private plane descending onto the island's small runway. Su Xiaofei was aware that her husband was meeting people due to work, but she had no idea who it would be. Lu Qingfeng had just recently acquired the place, was he meeting the old owner then? However, she was proven wrong when two familiar men came towards them with equally surprised reactions on their faces.
"Miss Xi, what are you doing here?" It was Li Xingtian who asked Xi Qian.
Didn't their father's private nurse ask for a break this whole weekend? So how come Xi Qian was here? Li Xingtian didn't expect that Xi Qian was friends with the current CEO of Bluemedia Entertainment.
"Uhm… spending my weekend with my friends?" Xi Qian awkwardly replied. Just as she thought she would be able to forget about her work, the Li brothers had appeared out of nowhere.
"Xingtian, it's impolite to ask Miss Xi such questions. Whatever reasons she came here, it's not our place to question her about what she does outside her job." Li Xiran cast his younger brother a pointed look when he realized how Li Xingtian had made Xi Qian uncomfortable with his questioning.
Li Xingtian was caught off guard by his brother's words, but realized that Li Xiran was right. He swallowed whatever annoyance he'd felt towards his brother. None of this was Xi Qian's fault anyway.
"I apologize, Miss Xi. It's not my intention to offend you. I'm merely curious why you are here."
Xi Qian blinked twice at him, before turning her attention to Li Xiran. After over a month of working for their family, she could only count with her fingers the times she encountered and talked to Li Xingtian. Plus, he always had this annoyed expression on his face whenever he was around. This was the first time she had seen the younger Li brother subdued and respectful towards her.
"Mrs. Lu, it's been awhile." Li Xiran then greeted Su Xiaofei and offered his hand for a handshake.
"Indeed. I hope everything's working well between you and my husband's company." She replied and gave him a firm handshake before leading them inside the resort where Lu Qingfeng was waiting.
Li Xingtian's jaw dropped as he was left flabbergasted again by the revelation. Su Xiaofei was married to the Young Master Lu? Wasn't Lu Qingfeng younger than any of them for a few years? Why were they keeping their marriage a secret?
"I hope we aren't too late for the meeting." He heard his brother say as he walked behind the two and next to Xi Qian, who was busy checking the seashells she collected earlier during their walk.
Su Xiaofei laughed and waved a hand.
"I wasn't even aware that you are the person A-Feng is going to meet, but I'm sure he won't mind it too much."
The two chatted as Su Xiaofei led them into a large foyer with a giant crystal chandelier. Their shoes clacked on the marbled floor, the sound more pronounced due to the lack of guests at the resort. There were a few he'd spotted earlier on, but most of them were waiting to check out at the reception area.
Li Xingtian took the chance to look around and noticed that there was nothing unusual. Was his brother making things up about the problem with the reconstruction then?
"Have you had lunch yet? We're just getting started." Su Xiaofei asked, glancing at Li Xiran then, looking at Li Xingtian behind her.
"That sounds great, Mrs. Lu. I'm quite famished actually." Li Xingtian smiled at her.
Su Xiaofei kept talking as she took them to the dining room she and Lu Qingfeng had used earlier for breakfast. The place was facing the beach, so she hoped that their guests would enjoy the view as they had their lunch.
When they arrived, Lu Qingfeng and Yan Xiuchen were already there, talking to each other in low voices. The two lifted their heads, stopped whatever they were discussing and stood up to greet their guests.
"Mr. Lu, I hope my brother and I didn't make you and Mr. Yan wait for too long." Li Xiran shook hands with Lu Qingfeng, then with the scarred man next to him.
Li Xingtian gave Lu Qingfeng a good look. He looked good in his casual short-sleeve white shirt and pale shorts. He was really too young compared to him and his older brother. Lu Qingfeng was probably still in his early twenties and yet he had already settled down and married his childhood friend this early. He supposed that it was normal for people who were friends for a long time to turn into lovers.
Meanwhile, he couldn't help but suck in a breath when he saw the scarred man accompanying Lu Qingfeng today. The scars on Yan Xiuchen's right face gave him a menacing look. He was a bit shorter in height compared to Lu Qingfeng, but his confidence wasn't falling short of the little tyrant's.
"Don't worry about it. I should be the one who should apologize to you for asking you to come here on short notice." Lu Qingfeng replied, then gestured for them to join them at the dining table.
Lu Qingfeng sat at the head of the table. Su Xiaofei took a seat on his right, while Yan Xiuchen settled on his left. Xi Qian wordlessly sat beside her best friend once she set aside the small basket containing her seashells. The Li brothers sat next to each other across from her. Li Xiran had an unmoving mask on his face.
"Mother should be here any moment now." Lu Qingfeng told his wife, knowing that she was looking for his mother-in-law.
As if on cue, Yun Qingrong stepped inside the room with a shawl wrapped around her shoulders. She beamed a wide smile when she saw the rest of them at the dining table.
