Lu Qingfeng stared at her with a blank face. As he looked at her face, he realized that he had no idea what turned her gears at that moment.

“Pardon?”

“I said let’s get married.” Su Xiaofei repeated herself.

“You mean right now?” He asked in confusion.

Although he very much liked to marry her, Lu Qingfeng knew that this wasn’t a good time for them to get married. Not when her mother was sick and would have to get her treatments.

Su Xiaofei nodded. She hesitated for a moment and looked at his face with worry.

“You mentioned that Mama said she wants to walk me down the aisle as we get married. Once her treatments start, I know that Mama would feel weaker than she already is. I want to get married while she’s still with us.” She said lowly, lowering her head as she knew that she was being selfish once again and this would be unfair on Lu Qingfeng’s part.

“Are you certain?” Lu Qingfeng asked, his hand reaching up to touch her face to get her attention.

“What?” Su Xiaofei asked in return.

“I said, are you certain that you want to marry me now? Once we are married, no matter what happens, only I can be your husband.” He said with all seriousness.

It was Su Xiaofei’s turn to chuckle at his words. There was no way there would be another man, as he had shown again and again why she had fallen in love with him.

“Hmm? I should be the one who should say that. You better promise me that there will be no other woman or a second Mrs. Lu in the future.”

“I’m serious, Feifei. Marriage is a serious matter.” Lu Qingfeng frowned. He didn’t want Su Xiaofei to regret her choice by marrying him. She might be saying it was fine right now, but who was to say she wouldn’t change her mind in the future?

Seeing the seriousness on his face, Su Xiaofei held both sides of his face, forcing him to look her in the eyes.

“I’m very sure. I trust you, Lu Qingfeng, but it would depend on you to prove whether I made the right choice by marrying you or not. I also don’t want to miss having Mama on the most special day of our lives. So what do you say, Mr. Lu? Wanna back out from your proposal now? I know it’s unfair to ask you to marry me under such circumstances, but if you’re sure of having me as your wife then…”

Lu Qingfeng placed his hand on top of her right hand that was still on his face, halting her words.

“I’ll strive to make you happy each day, Mrs. Lu. Just don’t leave and forget about me.” He said. Su Xiaofei noticed the slight hint of fear and apprehension in his tone. What was he so worried about? He kept reminding her not to forget about him. As if that was even possible.

Lu Qingfeng looked into her eyes, and he could have sworn he could see his whole universe in her. She was a wonder to him, but something that only he could touch and feel. Something so tangible and real that made her even more precious to him.

His Feifei. His little, naughty nymph. The only woman who made him wish to relive his life again.

He wanted to kiss her so badly and so, he did. His lips descended upon her mouth like only she could quench the thirst he had in his heart. He heard her mewl and felt her pressed against him, as her hands slipped through the slight opening of his shirt. Now, she was straddling him, kissing him deeply like there was no tomorrow, and returned his passion with the same intensity.

She kissed him back, but allowed him to lead. He slowly explored her mouth with his tongue, thinking that she was the sweetest thing he had tasted. Lu Qingfeng felt like she had turned him into a moth drawn to a flame.

He burned under her touch, loving it and craving for more at the same time. Su Xiaofei had the ability of making him lose himself, lose his thoughts and mind with her mere touch. If only she knew that he couldn’t live without her. That he was willing to forfeit his life, if it meant that he could be by her side. She was the only one capable of filling the void in his blackened heart.

If Su Xiaofei knew what he had done in his previous life, would she be able to say that she loved him and was willing to be with him? Lu Qingfeng wondered. But he pushed these thoughts aside, because he was a selfish person. He would never let her go easily without a fight. Rational thoughts had long abandoned him when it came to her.

Su Xiaofei had no idea that her moans were testing Lu Qingfeng’s self-control. He longed to touch her skin and just could not help himself. He slipped his hands on her smooth legs and dear lord, those limbs could make him forget his own name.

“Feifei,” he half groaned as he pulled away from their kiss. It was maddening, and he wasn’t sure how long he would be able to rein his desire towards her.

She pulled back and looked at him questioningly.

“So, do you agree?” Su Xiaofei asked again with a blush on her face, aware of her own body’s reaction over his touch. She became moist for him, her excitement evident in her panties, and she hoped that he hadn’t noticed it.

However, it was too late as Lu Qingfeng could feel her heat through the lace and silky shorts she wore pressing against his now hardened member. It took every ounce of his willpower not to push her to the bed and ravish her.

“Let me make some phone calls then…” 

She was really making him lose his mind.
