The Birth Of A Villainess

"Since the elders are already here, why don't all of you join us for an early lunch?" Lin Xiaofei offered, letting the tension wash away with her words.

Finally, the old men could finally breathe and smiled gladly at her.

The idea of eating with her was quite tempting, especially so, when an extremely beautiful young lady was offering to eat with them. How could anyone dare try to say no? Just as the old men nodded their heads in understanding and wanted to say that they wanted to stay for lunch, they soon heard an answer. But it was not coming from any one of their group.

"Why waste our money and ingredients to them?" Qu Xing Xu smiled at her, "Let them return back to their residence and have their sons cook for them. Let's see how great their sons."

Lin Xiaofei stared dumbly at him. The upper corners of her lips twitched at how difficult he could be.

"But shouldn't we offer them some tea or snacks before they leave?" she asked with her voice lowered, worried that these old men would think badly of her for not taking good of them when they nicely visited their residence..

Qu Xing Xu leaned towards her and with a slightly raised voice, enough for the old men to hear him say, "Don't worry… they won't break a bone by just missing one cup of tea. Just in time, I want to save as much money as well."

She almost rolled her eyes at the way he was acting. He said that he was saving money but from what she witnessed after he bought her a couple of dresses worth thousands of gold, he was definitely not saving money, and squandering all of it by throwing it on her way instead.

In the end, the Qu elders were evicted from the Qu residence and was forced to go back to their respective manors with a sour look on their faces. They even came so early in the morning just to see the young bride who finally took down the mighty duke feared by many. Yet, before they could spend some time with her, they got into the husband's radar.

But even with their dissatisfaction after being thrown out, the Qu elders were not as angry as they looked like. The grins that refused to be wiped out from their faces remained as they thought that these newlywed couple was really sweet with each other.

Earlier, when the two of them weren't looking, the Qu elders observed their relationship from a distance. They feared that this young bride was trick into a loveless marriage and got catfished by Qu Xing Xu. However, their insane thoughts were soon proved wrong as Lin Xiaofei and Qu Xing Xu got along with each other naturally. Pink bubbles even appeared around them when they were speaking with each other.

"Weren't you being a bit too rude towards the Qu elders?" Lin Xiaofei told him after seeing off the old men. "They may not have come to see you, but they did especially took time to visit the young bride whom you married."

Qu Xing Xu shrugged his shoulders, not feeling remorseful at his actions. "They shouldn't have run off their mouths then. They want their sons to meet you? Ha! They should meet my sword first before they can meet you."

"Ahh… so that was why you're acting like this?" Finally, Lin Xiaofei got to put a reason why he was acting like a child whose candy was about to be taken from him.

"Yes!" He proudly said, his eyes glinted mercilessly as he imagined if any of their son appeared before him to see Lin Xiaofei, he would readily unsheathe his sword and ram it in their chests.

Shaking her head, Lin Xiaofei pushed the fact that Qu Xing Xu was consuming a jar of vinegar to the back of her mind. She really didn't mind that he was acting so jealous over something that hasn't happened yet. He had nothing to worry about her getting involved with any other man for as long as he does the same.

Lin Xiaofei was already tired from chasing after a man who will have someone else in his arms while she was already existing in his life. That life was the ugliest and dirtiest taint that she wished she could erase and forget. At least, in this lifetime she had someone who will feel jealousy from time to time.

"I'm sorry…" she heard him say as he put his arms around her. "I shouldn't have acted like that when they especially came for you. It's just that I was irritated that they wanted to become matchmakers for you and their sons."

Lin Xiaofei laughed. She wondered just how many times he has said 'I'm sorry' to other people that saying these words would make him look like he swallowed a whole lemon while forcing himself to look normal.

"You don't really have to apologize," she told him. "But maybe next time… you should mention if anyone was about to come to our residence so that I can be on time when seeing them. What would happen if someone else other than the Qu elder came and witnessed that the young bride you married was this disrespectful?"

Qu Xing Xu was silent for a few seconds. He knew what she was talking about. Since a lot of people who wanted to see them make mistakes after their marriage and want to use it against them. He did not mind any dirty rumors that will be poured over him, but Qu Xing Xu didn't have the patience to let the same thing happen to Lin Xiaofei.

"Alright…" he says. "From now on, I will remember to accept guests only in the afternoon." Before she could say anything, he pulled her to her feet and added, "Let's finish this discussion. I have something nice for you to see. Maybe, you'll even give me a kiss after seeing it."

With that, the two of them were out of the main hall and was already heading towards outside of the front entrance of the main hall.
