General Yun had lived for a few decades now, so how can he not notice the way Lu Qingfeng looked at his granddaughter?
Lu Qingfeng looked at Su Xiaofei as if she was the only one that mattered in his world and everything zeroed on her person. He was this young and yet, he held such passion and adoration towards Su Xiaofei. If he wasn't in love with her, then General Yun had no idea what the young master of the Lu family wanted from his granddaughter.
Once the two were out of everyone's earshot, taking a rest and getting so privacy in the vast garden of the Yun Estate, Su Xiaofei flopped on the bench and released her feet from her black high heels.
"This banquet is taking too long to end." She complained to Lu Qingfeng.
"Aren't you afraid that they would criticize you for ignoring the guests of the Yun family?" Lu Qingfeng asked in return, but he also felt that this gathering was useless for soone like him.
Although he had already t the relevant people whom he had no doubt would encounter in the future, most of them, he had already t in the past. Albeit, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't mind having a refresher to rember so of them once in a while.
Su Xiaofei scoffed at his questions and played with the tips of her hair.
"Who cares about what they think of ? If I waste my ti wondering how others would perceive , I would have lost my mind."
They could hear the gales of laughter emanating from the main hall as the guests busied themselves with whatever conversation they had on their minds. Su Xiaofei couldn't care less about what they were.
She was quite enjoying the night until the Mo family arrived, effectively ruining her mood.
Lu Qingfeng felt his lips curl at the corners for a mont, her words, regardless if it was in the past or today, remained the sa. He plucked a flower near him and presented it to her.
Su Xiaofei arched her brow and stared at him for a mont before accepting it. Her fingers reached to touch the white and yellow petals of the Pluria.
"Do you know what Pluria ans?" She heard Lu Qingfeng asked.
Su Xiaofei shook her head in response.
"It ans new beginnings." He explained.
"New beginnings, huh? How befitting." Su Xiaofei smiled to herself. She hadn't really paid attention to the different flowers in the garden of the Yun Estate, although she had been here several tis already.
She raised her head and glanced at the bush filled with pink roses across them. Now that she had ti to finally appreciate the garden that was obviously being tended seriously by the Yun household, Su Xiaofei understood where her mother's habits ca from.
"What about those pink roses?" She couldn't help but be curious about the language of the flowers.
"They an trust, happiness and confidence, if I rember it correctly." Lu Qingfeng answered. "It could also an desire and passion."
In his previous life, the young Su Xiaofei loved flowers but had an aversion when it ca to red roses. She claid that roses were overrated and there were other lovely flowers people could adore.
"Okay." Su Xiaofei nodded, then pointed at the next flower. "And the hibiscus?"
"A white one? Hmm…" Lu Qingfeng cupped his chin as he sat next to her. "A rare and delicate beauty, a gentle one."
The young woman beside him laughed and played with the pluria on her right hand.
"I didn't know you were interested in flowers and their language." She teased him.
Lu Qingfeng only shrugged. In his previous life, whenever Su Xiaofei had a movie launch or a product endorsent, he used to send her flowers without a note. She would have never known that all those bouquets of flowers were from him.
"So if you are going to give a flower, what would it be?" She asked curiously.
Lu Qingfeng had already known what to give her a long ti ago.
"I would give you all the lilacs I could find in the city." He said with a confident smile.
"Oh? And what could it possibly an?"
"Because just like you, lilac is a queen." He smirked upon seeing the slight blush that spread on her face.
"Lilacs are known as the 'Queen of Shrubs'. It is the hardiest and one of the most fragrant flowers. Lilacs have co to symbolize spring and renewal too, but when it cos to love, it represents the first emotions of love. It also reminded of? the first ti we t and how much I wanted to know you more." Lu Qingfeng continued.
Su Xiaofei avoided his teasing gaze and looked away. Wasn't this his way of telling her that she was his first love?
Wait. Didn't Lu Qingfeng send her a bouquet of lilacs on her eighteenth birthday? How co she never noticed the subtle confession from it? Back then, she thought that Lu Qingfeng had sent those flowers because she once told her how beautiful the violet lilacs were and how fragrant they were.
She found herself speechless. She had no idea how to respond. She had always been the one seeking Mo Yuchen in the past and now that she was the one being on the receiving side, it made her oddly nervous and happy at the sa ti.
She was nervous because it was the first ti she was pursued by soone, and happy because it was Lu Qingfeng. Lu Qingfeng was soone she could trust. He won't say anything that he didn't an.
"Then I look forward to receiving more lilacs from you." She said after a mont of silence between them, catching Lu Qingfeng off guard.
It took a mont for him to recover before he lifted one hand to brush the stray locks away from her face.
Su Xiaofei went still, aware of the closeness between them, only to stiffen further when his lips gently covered hers.
