Three days later, Su Xiaofei was seated next to her mother's hospital bed inside a private room, taking a nap with her head resting on her folded arms on top of the sheets. Yun Qingrong could only sigh and reach out a hand to push away the hair from her daughter's face as she slept.
Yun Qingrong thought that even when her Feifei had already grown up, there were still things that remained the sa. Her Feifei would forever be her little girl in her heart. The mory of the past playing once again in her mind.
Her Feifei was only eight at the ti and she, Yun Qingrong, had fallen sick from the long hours of work, forcing her to take a few days off to recover. During those tis, in her sleep, she could feel her daughter's small hands trying to wipe the sweat from her face with a damp cloth.
Hours later, she woke up to see her young daughter curled on the bed next to her with a washcloth in her hand. Her heart was filled with love as she touched her daughter's cheek, allowing Feifei to sleep more.
Yun Qingrong shifted from her bed and slowly sat up, minding the wound on her abdon. She didn't regret having her uterus and ovaries removed because it wouldn't define her as a woman and a mother.
She could hear clicking sounds sowhere and didn't need to think hard of who it could be. Wherever Feifei was, Lu Qingfeng was sure to follow.
She spotted Lu Qingfeng seated on the couch with a pair of reading glasses on his face, his fingers moving quickly over the keyboard of his laptop. What she admired about this son-in-law she just gained, was that he was very efficient with his ti and would always make sure to balance his personal ti with work and school.
"Good morning, Xiao Feng. Did you get any sleep before working?" Yun Qingrong called out his attention.
Lu Qingfeng raised his head and looked at her.
"Yes, Mother. I just woke up an hour ago. Grandpa forwarded so reports to work on, so I'm trying to finish so of it before attending my morning classes." He answered. "Should I call for soone to bring us breakfast?"
Yun Qingrong was now on a strict diet and she couldn't leave her bed just yet, but that didn't an she couldn't join her daughter and son-in-law for als.
"No, let's just wait for Feifei to wake up. She must be really tired trying to catch up with her work last night." She murmured, but enough for Lu Qingfeng to hear.
Yun Qingrong had woken up in the middle of the night, overhearing her daughter's conversation with Zhao Yi. It seed like there was an offer regarding Tang Liyan's collaboration with Bai Qingyue again, but Feifei was hesitant to accept and to allow her talent to work with Golden Star's queen this ti.
"Don't worry about , Mama. It's sothing I can handle."
Su Xiaofei had woken up and ran her fingers through her thick mane. If she was the most beautiful bride a week ago, she now had darkening circles around her eyes and a pale complexion.
"Did I wake you up?" Yun Qingrong asked her.
"No. Just need to use the washroom." Su Xiaofei said and rose from her seat, going straight to her husband. Since she hadn't washed her face or brushed her teeth yet, she only gave him a quick hug.
"Please be a dear and ask for so breakfast. I'm starving." She said before disappearing into the washroom.
Lu Qingfeng hit the save button on the docunt he was working on and removed his reading glasses. He didn't waste ti and made a phone call.
Once Su Xiaofei was done, dressed in a new set of clean clothes, she joined her mother and husband for a quick breakfast. If she had a choice, she would rather do her work here and accompany her mother, but she had a eting she couldn't miss that morning.
"I would have to agree with Zhao Yi, Feifei. We wouldn't be at a disadvantage if we allow Miss Tang to work with Bai Qingyue again. I know you're worried about her safety, but it would be a pity not to take advantage of her popularity these days."
Su Xiaofei fell silent, knowing that she really didn't have a strong reason to object to the collaboration between the two queens. She wasn't stupid, because she knew it was Mo Yuchen who boosted their popularity in order to lure her to enter an agreent with Golden Star.
"Fine. As long as they don't cross the line this ti. I wouldn't be so rciful if they tried to do underhanded tricks again." Su Xiaofei yielded.
Once she left for work, Yun Qingrong was left in her son-in-law's company. Seeing the wistful look on her, Lu Qingfeng wondered if Yun Qingrong knew sothing.
"I wonder what Feifei feels towards Miss Bai."
At these words, Lu Qingfeng straightened his back and gave her a confused look.
Yun Qingrong gave him a weak smile before choosing to look at her hands. She didn't know how long she could keep her secret from her daughter, especially now that her days were numbered.
"I'm not blind, Xiao Feng. I've been in this industry for so long, it's impossible for not to see Feifei's resemblance to Miss Bai."
Lu Qingfeng chose his words carefully. He didn't want Yun Qingrong to suspect that he and Feifei were already aware of Bai Qingyue's identity.
"Does mother suspect that Miss Bai is Feifei's real mother?" He asked. It made sense to him why Yun Qingrong was against Feifei's decision to enter showbiz in their previous life.
"Xiao Feng, when one is eager to find sothing, he or she is destined to unravel things. Each of us has dark secrets in our hearts. It's just that I'm too selfish and not willing to give Feifei back to the woman who abandoned her."
