Chapter 579 You Can’t Die On Me (2)
Knowing that Lu Qingfeng was now on board and was willing to help her get through her pregnancy made everything easier for Su Xiaofei. Her heart felt at ease knowing that he was there for her. They flew to Shenjing on a private plane with Xi Qian on board.
The moment they arrived at Lu Qingfeng's penthouse, Su Xiaofei dragged him to the bedroom and made love with him. Lu Qingfeng hesitated initially, not wanting to hurt her in the process, but she assured him that she was fine.
It must have been her hormones, but Su Xiaofei was in need of him. Her sex drive was over the roof. The sex they had was more mind-blowing than before because there was no need for him to use a protection, and he was able to feel more of her.
Lu Qingfeng barely left her side, making sure that she was comfortable and fed. Su Xiaofei could only smile as she watched her husband being careful around her, as if he was afraid that she would hurt herself or their precious children.
"From this moment onwards, you aren't allowed to do anything." He told her with a straight face.
Su Xiaofei laughed at that and slapped his shoulder.
"Can't do, or are you forgetting who's managing Bluemedia right now?" She reminded him.
"But you can delegate your tasks to your subordinates. What's the use of hiring competent people if they can't make your workload lighter?" He frowned, not willing to back down on this argument.
Lu Qingfeng furrowed his brows and sat down next to her as he wrapped his arms around her body.
"I simply don't want you to tire yourself out, Feifei. Carrying twins isn't easy to begin with."
She rolled her eyes at him.
"You worry too much. I'm not even showing yet. People won't know that we're expecting, not unless we announce it, or I'm obviously round with our twins."
Su Xiaofei inwardly smiled at the thought. She wasn't having a pair of twins last time. Was this some kind of compensation for the loss she experienced before?
Little did she know that Lu Qingfeng was also thinking the same thing. She had lost her child twice in his previous lives and he would do everything he could to prevent that from happening again.
For once, Su Xiaofei thought that they were a normal couple, excitedly waiting for their children's arrival. It didn't feel like death was looming over her. They decided to wait until her twelfth week mark passed before they announced her pregnancy to their families.
Perhaps it was because he was able to see the glimpse of their children that Lu Qingfeng's overprotectiveness rose to another level. Su Xiaofei always knew that he would be a great father, and she couldn't wait to see him interact with their children once she gave birth to them.
"Are you sure it's okay for you to attend tomorrow's event at the company?" He asked with a hint of worry in his tone.
"I can't possibly miss my husband's succession ceremony." She smiled at him. "Anyway, you promised to announce our marriage tomorrow. You aren't planning to take back your word, are you?"
"Of course not." He muttered. "I simply can't wait for the whole world to know that you are my wife. No one would be able to take you away from my side and whoever poisoned you, I will make sure that they would know what hell on earth feels like. I will not go easy on them."
His eyes flashed murderously. Just thinking that someone had attempted to kill his wife was enough to anger him. Lu Qingfeng had been trying to keep his rage under his cold mask, but Su Xiaofei could still see through it these days. It reminded her of something…
"A-Feng, Yun Xiang said that you killed your uncle and cousins in a fire. Is that true?"
Lu Qingfeng lifted his gaze andd stared at her blankly.
"Is that what he said when you sneaked out to meet him?"
Su Xiaofei flushed in embarrassment. She knew that Lu Qingfeng knew about her little escapade to meet Yun Xiang. She had waited for him to question her about it, but he never did until now.
"My wife blushing like this upon mentioning Yun Xiang? Hmm… am I supposed to feel jealous that he lured you out?"
"Sorry. I know that he would insist on meeting me in secret. I made things clear with him so hopefully, I was able to bring some sense to his head and remind him that I'm already off limits."
Lu Qingfeng said nothing, but thinking that Yun Xiang had said those words to paint him as a villain in his wife's eyes left a bitter taste in his mouth. He could only hope that Su Xiaofei was right this time and Yun Xiang wouldn't chase after her anymore.
"I didn't kill them." He said after a long silence between them. "I might have done it in our previous life, but not this time."
Su Xiaofei blinked at how honest he was with her.
"Then where are they?" She couldn't help but ask.
If he didn't kill them, why did Yun Xiang think he did?
"Somewhere dark where they could experience having everything taken away from them." He said cryptically.
She didn't probe his answer, as she knew that Lu Qingfeng's other relatives were quite cruel towards him even in their past lives. She knew that there were things he was keeping from her to protect her from them.
"Why didn't you…" Su Xiaofei couldn't finish her question, but her husband understood what she was trying to say.
"Because I want to become a person worthy of you. I'm planning to hand them over to the authorities once we collect enough evidence to incriminate them. I won't allow them to roam around freely when I know that they could harm you after they failed in taking my life."
