Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Chapter 509 [Bonus ]Stay With Me (3)



Xiao Rufeng felt a moment of sadness. She didn't want to return to her normal daily routine just yet. She wasn't ready to be parted from Yan Xiuchen, not when they were starting to try to get to know each other better. Alas, their two weeks arrangement was almost over, and she needed to get back to work soon and face her responsibilities.

"Did I say something wrong?" She heard Yan Xiuchen ask, with a hint of guilt in his tone.

Xiao Rufeng shook her head and sighed, placing her fork down to face him. She didn't want him to think that he was the problem, when the truth was she was the one who was too cowardly to face the problem that awaited her once she left the safety of his mansion.

"I just realized that I haven't made a decision yet. President Su gave me an ultimatum to decide how we should deal with my sister for what she has done to me." She told him.

Yan Xiuchen's eyes turned cold, remembering how scared Xiao Rufeng was that night. She even begged him for her life, and that was the reason he could never forgive Xiao Yunyao.

"Su Xiaofei wants the authorities to get involved?" He probed and she nodded in response.

"I share the same sentiments as her." Yan Xiuchen said.

He couldn't blame Lu Qingfeng's wife for wanting to sue Xiao Rufeng's sister and hold her accountable for what had happened that night. What Xiao Yunyao had done was plain cruel towards her own sister. It was him, Yan Xiuchen, who would destroy Xiao Yunyao with his own hands and make sure that she would never be able to hurt Xiao Rufeng again.

"But if we sue her, I fear what could happen to my father later. His health has been deteriorating over the past few years and I don't want to be the reason he succumbed to death so early." Xiao Rufeng tried to reason out, but Yan Xiuchen shook his head in disapproval.

"Su Xiaofei is trying to protect you and secure your safety in the future. Can't you see the gravity of your sister's actions towards you? You told me that you were so ready to forfeit your life that night, but we somehow avoided it. If you are going to ask me to prioritize my happiness, then can't you also put in more effort to make sure you are safe?"

The actress was rendered speechless by his words. Not only was Yan Xiuchen reminding her that her manager's plan was for her own good, but he was also indirectly telling her that his happiness would be based on her.

Xiao Rufeng didn't want his world to be focused solely on her. She wanted him to learn how to trust other people and learn to be truly happy, but she also knew that Yan Xiuchen was right.

"She's still my sister…"

"No sane person would scheme like that towards their own sibling. It seems to me that Xiao Yunyao has never considered you a blood-related kin." Yan Xiuchen retorted, only proving how weak her reason was.

"There's no guarantee that she wouldn't attempt on your life in the future." He continued. "It's better for Su Xiaofei to nip it in the bud before Xiao Yunyao imposes more danger on you. Do you think she would regret what she has done? If she succeeded that night, you wouldn't be here, dining and speaking to me."

Xiao Rufeng had no words to refute that. Even she couldn't tell what was going on with her own sister. Still, even if she and her father didn't get along well, she couldn't just deliver a blow to her younger sister without considering how it would affect their father's condition.

"It seems to me that you've already made up your mind." Yan Xiuchen commented. "You know this, but you are just afraid to face the consequences if you choose the right decision."

"Sorry. I ruined our night." She apologized and placed her hand on top of his.

Tonight was supposed to be theirs, and they shouldn't be arguing and talking about her younger sister.

Yan Xiuchen shook his head. He was the one who brought up the issue by asking her.

"There's no need to apologize. I'm glad that you are telling me this. I'm not trying to impose my opinion on you, but I hope you will consider what I said earlier. Su Xiaofei and I are merely concerned about your welfare."

"I know that." She replied and resumed eating her desserts.

"So, what do you plan to watch later?" Xiao Rufeng asked about their movie, wanting to change the topic between them. The night wasn't over yet, and they could still have some fun before she left his mansion.

"I'm not really into chick flicks and horror films, so you can skip those." She added with a laugh.

It was strange that she could be at ease in his company this soon, while she couldn't stand the presence of any man near her since their first encounter. Xiao Rufeng wondered if it would change soon, and she would be able to return to normal.

"Ah, then feel free to choose from the wide selection we have there. I don't often watch movies as I prefer to read books in my spare time." Yan Xiuchen said.

"So I noticed." She chuckled at him.

Both of them fell silent after that as they finished their meals. Once done, Yan Xiuchen stood up and was about to lead her to the entertainment room when he noticed that Xiao Rufeng remained seated, looking at him with hesitation.

"What is it?" He asked, because he couldn't stand thinking that she was just being nice to him when she could be somewhere else with someone else.

"Actually, Yan Xiuchen. I don't want to leave yet."

She looked at him, hoping that he would understand what she meant.

He remained silent and kept her gaze.

"Then don't leave and stay with me."
