Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife-Chapter 570 A Twisted Fate (1)

"Feifei, don't you think that two burgers should be enough?" Lu Qingfeng eyed his wife suspiciously, noticing the sudden burst of appetite he didn't know she had. He had to put away his untouched meal, hoping that Su Xiaofei wouldn't overeat tonight.

Su Xiaofei always watched what she ate and was careful not to indulge in too many sweets after every meal. However, since the week started, she had been sending the Zhang sisters to get various types of foods she'd been craving for and tonight, she was able to convince Lu Qingfeng to drop by a fast food chain to get some snacks on their way home.

"But didn't you say I can order whatever I want?" She said defensively, making Lu Qingfeng regret the offer.

"What's going on, Feifei? Did you skip lunch again?" He eyed her suspiciously. Even with Zhang Ling's help, it was hard for Lu Qingfeng to make sure that his wife was having her meals on time. He would rather not have her starving herself again.

"Huh? No. Of course not." She mumbled, which only meant that Lu Qingfeng got it right.

"I kinda dozed off earlier and missed some of my appointments." She admitted. Thankfully, those appointments could be rescheduled for later.

Lu Qingfeng cleared his throat and looked outside the window, seeing the other cars disappear from his view as Nine drove them home. He had an inkling of what was going on with his wife, and he counted the days since the last time they made love to each other.

It was after Xi Qian's celebration party, and it had been over a month since then.

'But we used protection, didn't we?'

The memory of that night was blurry for Lu Qingfeng, but he did remember returning home and being jumped by the equally drunk Su Xiaofei. He woke up the next day, finding a used condom on the floor with his wife already in the bathroom, starting her day before him. If that was the case, there was no way he knocked her up, right?

"Where did you and Xi Qian go the other day, by the way? Zhang Ling said you also canceled all your appointments and asked her to reschedule them. Did something happen?" He asked, forcing his way in through another subject. It wasn't like he didn't trust Su Xiaofei, but he didn't want to be left in the dark for too long if there's another problem he could help her with.

"Oh, that's my annual check up. Xi Qian usually scheduled it for me ever since you moved to Shenjing years ago. I almost missed it if it was not for her reminder." Su Xiaofei gave him an awkward smile, which only told Lu Qingfeng that she wasn't being totally honest with him.

"Everything alright?" He continued to probe. He had a nagging feeling that there was more to it than she had let on.

"Uh-huh, nothing's wrong. You'll be the first to know if I'm sick or anything."

Lu Qingfeng swore that she was hiding something, but he didn't have the guts to call her out for it. It was either she wasn't ready to tell him about whatever it was, or she was trying to buy time to figure out the problem herself. He just hoped that there was nothing wrong with her body. He wasn't looking forward to spending another day at the hospital after dealing with his mother-in-law's illness.

"Also, since Qian will start attending med school soon, I decided to catch up with her." Su Xiaofei added, as if she was trying to convince herself that there was nothing wrong.

Suddenly, she started to feel nauseous and dizzy at the same time. She held her husband's arm tightly, her face draining its colors as she yelled at Nine.

"Stop the car! Please, stop the car! Stop the car right now!"

It was a miracle that Nine was able to remain calm as he veered to the side of the road and pulled the car to a stop, given how sudden Su Xiaofei had shouted her orders.

Su Xiaofei opened the door next to her and threw up the contents of her stomach on the pavement, her eyes losing focus around her as Lu Qingfeng pulled her back and handed her a box of tissues.

"Feifei! What's going on? Are you sick?" He started to panic, not knowing what was wrong with his wife.

"We should get you to the hospital." He decided. Since Su Xiaofei wouldn't tell him anything, he would ask the experts instead.

Su Xiaofei shook her head and groaned next to him.

"It's nothing, A-Feng. It must be the sushi we had earlier. Didn't Zhang Ling tell you I also threw up an hour after I had it? I'm fine now... I just want to go home and take a bath." She scrunched her nose in disgust.

"I want to take a long soak in the tub." She paused and grinned at him. "With you, if you don't mind joining me." She added, almost a whisper.

He shook his head, but worry was still etched on his face. He wanted to convince himself that everything was fine for the time being. Chen Hao and Ye Mingyu had a fall-out recently and were now at each other's throats for some reason. If Su Xiaofei was hurt in any way, surely the Zhang siblings wouldn't hide it from him.

"I see. Let's go home then." He then nodded to Nine to tell him that everything's settled for now. His heart ached to see his wife trying to keep everything to herself. He wished that she would rely on him more.

Weren't they husband and wife? Partners in all aspects? As long as Lu Qingfeng could do it, he would do it without a question for her sake.

The memory of him holding her dead body flashed in his mind, and it sent chills down his spine. No. Anything but that.
