Chapter 395 Fair Treatment (1)
"You haven\'t started your day, but you are already this stressed. Is there something I could help you with?" He asked, taking her attention away from her outfit.
Su Xiaofei released a breath she didn\'t know she was holding and turned to face her husband. She knew that there was no reason for her to be nervous for her meeting with Mo Yuchen today, because seeing him only reminded her of how foolish she had been in her previous life. She also didn\'t want to make her husband worry about it.
She sauntered and stopped in front of her husband, allowing Lu Qingfeng to pull her to sit on his lap, resting a hand on his shoulder.
"Just a long day ahead for me. I\'m a little tired, to be honest." She admitted with a dejected sigh.
With her mother still recovering from her recent surgeries, Su Xiaofei couldn\'t help but be distracted at work, worrying about Yun Qingrong. This was why she had also tried to delay her meeting with Mo Yuchen, as she didn\'t want another emotional baggage added to her already heavy situation.
However, since she had chosen this path, different from what she was in her previous life, Su Xiaofei knew that she should take responsibility for her choices. It wasn\'t like she regretted following her mother\'s footsteps, but she understood why her mother had always been absent during her childhood years.
When Lu Qingfeng noticed her unusual silence and the slight frown on her face, he ran a hand over her hair to get her attention.
"What\'s wrong?" He asked, knowing that Su Xiaofei would keep it to herself unless he pointed it out.
Su Xiaofei shook her head and remained silent. She was reminded of her duty to bear Lu Qingfeng a child in the future, but she couldn\'t voice out her fear of conceiving a child again. The trauma that she suffered after losing her child from her previous life became an obstacle for her to move forward and start a family with her husband.
How was she supposed to explain to Lu Qingfeng that she didn\'t want to have a child in the future? That she didn\'t think she would be ready to have one. They were delaying starting a family now due to her mother\'s condition, plus his schedule at work and school, but Su Xiaofei knew that they were bound to prepare to have a child once Lu Qingfeng was ready.
"I could ask Zhang Ling to reschedule some of your appointments if you aren\'t feeling well today." Lu Qingfeng suggested, but Su Xiaofei couldn\'t afford to slow down her work at this moment.
"There\'s no need for that. A day should suffice for me to get enough rest." Su Xiaofei replied. "And a power hug from you is needed too." She smiled at him.
Lu Qingfeng stared at her for a moment and took her hand into his. Of course, he knew the reason why his wife was on edge today. She would only act like this if Mo Yuchen or Ye Mingyu were involved.
"Zhang Ling told me you have a meeting with Mo Yuchen today. I\'m not asking you not to meet him, but if you think you aren\'t ready to meet him yet, you don\'t have to force yourself today."
Su Xiaofei hadn\'t expected to hear something like this from him and didn\'t know how to explain herself. As she looked at Lu Qingfeng\'s calm expression, she realized that she had been worrying too much and overthinking things between her and Mo Yuchen.
She already had Lu Qingfeng by her side, so there was no reason for her to back away from Mo Yuchen. If she chose to prolong the delay of their inevitable meeting, wouldn\'t that mean that Mo Yuchen still had some influence over her?
"You aren\'t mad that I am meeting with him today?" She questioned her young husband.
To be honest, Su Xiaofei thought that she had married Lu Qingfeng too soon. Other young men his age were still enjoying their bachelor days, spending time with their peers and dating women, but Lu Qingfeng was already married at the age of twenty-one.
"Is there a reason why I should be mad? Aren\'t you meeting him today because of work?" Lu Qingfeng retorted, his eyes never showing any indication that he was bothered with her meeting Mo Yuchen today.
Su Xiaofei looked at him and sighed inwardly. The difference between Mo Yuchen and Lu Qingfeng as her husband was outstanding. While Mo Yuchen tried to dominate each part of her life, Lu Qingfeng was giving her leeway to decide for herself.
"I trust you, Feifei, but that doesn\'t mean I trust others." Lu Qingfeng continued. "Just don\'t forget that I\'m here whenever you need me."
She pressed her forehead against him and smiled.
"What do I do then? Lu Qingfeng, I don\'t think I can be without you anymore."
"Hm? Since when did my wife become so lazy that she would leave everything to be done by me?"
"Hey, you are the one who spoiled me rotten from the very beginning, so why is it my fault now?" Su Xiaofei huffed, but her mood was considerably better now.
With Lu Qingfeng on her side, she didn\'t need to doubt herself as his wife. It was enough for her to know that he trusted her, that he wasn\'t hounding her to avoid other men and to behave according to her status.
