Chapter 171 - Did You Faint Again?

Lin Xiaofei felt her mind had turned numb as her eyes widely stared at the waiter standing on the side. Her eyes spoke what she wanted to say out loud, 'What the hell are you doing?'. 

Qu Xing Xu only smiled at her as if he couldn't understand what her eyes were telling him. He completely ignored her and turned to Liu Shishi who answered him. 

"Are the biscuits in here still available? I want a bag of it!" Liu Shishi told him with her eyes sparkling and her mouth almost dripping with drool just by thinking of having that bag of biscuits.

With a smile, Qu Xing Xu said "You're really lucky, young miss. We only have three bags of biscuits left since the last batch of biscuits were already sold since the doors of our restaurant opened today."

"That's great!" Liu Shishi was extremely happy.

"But unfortunately, we cannot give it to you unless you buy a dish from our restaurant." 

"Huh?" Liu Shishi frowned at his words. What kind of condition was this? To buy a bag of biscuits one must buy a dish cooked by a chef in Hong Pei Lou. this condition was quite new to her and probably the first time she heard this from anyone.

In any case, Liu Shishi was too distracted by the fact that she would be getting a bag of biscuits and thus, didn't think much of his words and gladly nodded her head. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-birth-of-a-villainess_16977433905988805/did-you-faint-again_49838887828254537 for visiting.

But it was Lin Xiaofei who stared at him dubiously. What is he planning this time?

"Alright then, I'll get the best dish in here!" Liu Shishi happily said. She could use her allowance for this month to pay for the dish and looked at LIn Xiaofei, "You should get something for yourself as well. I see that you lost a lot of weight since the last time we met so let me treat you this time." She said.

"I'm not hungry." Lin Xiaofei refused and continued to send glares at Qu Xing Xu who was still not looking at her. 

Liu Shishi did not give up as she said, "Come on, don't be like that. You're finally marrying the man you like and I know the pressure that must have been put on you because of that. Look at you! You're as thin as my maids and I bet being around the duke must have been quite stressing!" She leaned forward as if to share a secret but forgot that the waiter was still standing by their side and said, "Tell me, did you faint again when you met him?"

Aside from Bai Lu and Su Tang, Liu Shishi also knew that part of Lin Xiaofei who faints whenever she gets closer to Qu Xing Xu. It doesn't matter if he noticed her or not. What matters is that with only the appearance of that man, Lin Xiaofei would somehow feel attacked and warm that she always ended up fainting. 

By this time, Lin Xiaofei's face was already so dark that a storm was already forming above her head. She didn't say anything as she pursed her lips into a thin line.

But Liu Shishi took her silence as an answer and said, "You fainted, didn't you? Aiya, Xiaofei! If just by meeting him can make you lose your consciousness then what will happen to you during the consummation of the marriage?"

BANG!

The table between them shook as Lin Xiaofei abruptly stood up. 

She could no longer stay there when Liu Shishi continued to run her mouth off while not mincing her words. What's more, there was someone who could hear them and he wasn't just anyone, but the man in question. 

The things concerning the wedding night, Lin Xiaofei wasn't new to it as she often talked about it with her maids and other ladies who were quite open when speaking about it in her last life. However, her last life and the present was different. Thus, when Liu Shishi mentioned the wedding night, she couldn't help but feel strange.

Suddenly, she was reminded by the feeling of lips touching her own just this morning and her ears turned slightly red because of it.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Liu Shishi asked.

"I'll go back to the carriage first as I am not feeling well," said Lin Xiaofei before she walked away without waiting for a response from Liu Shishi. She also didn't forget to send the waiter a last glare before storming out of the restaurant.

"Aiyoo… that girl will surely turn to dust even before she could consummate the wedding with the duke." she finished what she wanted to say even without her friend before shaking her head pitifully. 

Noticing the waiter who now had a stiff smile on his lips, Liu Shishi apologized on behalf of Lin Xiaofei, "I'm really sorry about that. My friend is about to get married and I'm only worried about her. Please, don't mind her."

Qu Xing Xu replied with a hum and left after listing down what Liu Shishi wanted to order. In the end, the young lady seemed to want to continue with her initial plan to stay and order a dish just to get a bag of biscuits rather than follow her friend outside. Between food and friends, Liu Shishi was the type to pick the former first before the latter. Even if someone were to ask her who she would choose to save between her husband and mother-in-law from being drowned, she'd always pick food even if it wasn't one of the choices.

When the dish she ordered was served to her table, she noticed that the waiter from earlier was replaced by someone else.

Outside Hong Pei Lou, Lin Xiaofei silently sat inside the carriage. Her face looked calm but deep inside her, she was screaming and cursing Qu Xing Xu. That man must have seen the stunt that Liu Shishi had just pulled outside and decided to disguise himself as a waiter to silently laugh at her!

And with what he heard from Liu Shishi's mouth, it wouldn't be impossible that he would constantly remind her about it. 

What a joke. Lin Xiaofei, just what kind of mess did you put yourself into? 

Lin Xiaofei covered her face with her hands. 

Then, as if she was destined to end up swallowing her shame, she heard a familiar voice asking her, "Did you faint again?"
