Yun Qingrong had finally returned that morning, much to Su Xiaofei's relief, while the Qiao family had already left and returned to Shenjing. Qiao Fengying promised to give her a call in his free time before he left.
After making sure that her mother had settled in her room and had fallen asleep, Su Xiaofei closed the door behind her gently, making sure not to make a loud sound. She then returned to the room she now shared with her husband.
She found Lu Qingfeng buttoning up his white dress shirt, but there was something about the way he sighed, telling her that he wasn't comfortable with the meeting they had to attend that afternoon.
"What's up?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest and leaned against the door frame.
She was already dressed, just waiting for him to be ready so they could leave and go to Song Yiran's place, where the meeting would be held. It would also be the first time she would be seeing where her former schoolmate lived, and meet the people her husband managed to become acquainted with in Shenjing. Although she was quite nervous, Su Xiaofei was more excited to meet them.
"Nothing. Just thinking." Lu Qingfeng replied, saying no more. He had a feeling that something was about to change again in his life.
Was he really worried that the brotherhood would harm his Feifei?
"You know you can just tell me if you don't want me to meet them. If it makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to force yourself, hubby. You don't need to complicate things."
Looking at him, Su Xiaofei thought that if she had met him in her previous life, she might have found him hideous. However, now, she didn't feel any pity or disgust towards him, only amazement.
As if sensing that she was staring at his face, Yan Xiuchen turned his head, allowing her to see the good side of his face. If one wasn't able to see his scars and only see this side of his face, anyone would think that Yan Xiuchen was quite a handsome man.
"Lu Qingfeng and being late don't go well, Xiuchen." Song Yiran laughed at him before giving Su Xiaofei a wink, which was returned with a smile.
One of the men at the pool table gave Su Xiaofei a good look and turned to Lu Qingfeng.
"I thought you were going back to Qiying City to meet your girlfriend, not to marry her." He commented with a scowl. "You didn't even send us the invitation to your wedding. Quite a friend you are, Lu Qingfeng."
The man Su Xiaofei recognized was named Ning Xuan. He was the owner of Ning Technologies that released several successful mobile games that were popular not only in the country, but the rest of the world. It was said that he was one of the youngest billionaires these days.
Lu Qingfeng shrugged and gestured for Su Xiaofei to take a seat next to the bar.
"Things happened." He reasoned out.
"Excuses! Excuses! If Song Yiran's mouth didn't run that night, we would still be oblivious to the fact that you got married. How could you hide such an important thing from our brotherhood?" The last man replied. He then extended a hand towards Su Xiaofei as a greeting.
"Pleasure to meet you, Big Sister. I'm Zhu Baichuan." He introduced himself to her.
