It wasn't the first time that Lu Qingfeng had told her a story, but as Su Xiaofei laid on her bed, staring at her blank ceiling, she couldn't help but remember the story he had just told her. Was it because she could somehow relate to the young girl in his story?

'Such a foolish girl, but I shouldn't be the one to talk, as I've also made the same mistake.' Su Xiaofei scoffed inwardly. They might be cut from the same cloth if the young girl's story was true.

The girl must have regretted not believing the young boy's claims when he came to see her. Su Xiaofei couldn't imagine how heartbroken the boy was when she forgot about him, but more than that, she was annoyed that the girl had been deceived, just like she was.

'Mo Yuchen deceived me, just like how the girl was made to believe that he was the person she loved.'

Mo Yuchen pretended that he had come to love her, a year before they got married, to earn her trust. She should have suspected his sudden change, given that it also coincided with the fact that his company was facing yet another financial crisis.

If only she took a break to see the bigger picture. But given how infatuated she was with Mo Yuchen, Su Xiaofei wasn't sure if she would notice the problem.

Didn't the girl find the other boy's claim suspicious? Su Xiaofei thought. When all her mother's fortune ended up in his hands, did the girl finally realize the error of her choices and actions? However, it was too late for her to regret because the boy had already died in her own husband's hands.

Perhaps, just like her, the girl regretted everything before her death. Su Xiaofei thought. It was just a pity that the girl didn't have a chance like her to be reborn to rectify the mistakes she previously made, while she was lucky to be reborn to change the course of events in her life.

If she and Lu Qingfeng were in their shoes, Su Xiaofei wouldn't want him to suffer because of her, but thinking of how he had suffered alone after her death in her previous life, Su Xiaofei thought that she had already failed him.

Then her thoughts went back to the events that happened that day. Not only was she reunited with Qiao Yuhan, much earlier than she remembered, but she was also able to personally meet her father. Since they've met like this, she could only think of a way to make the best out of it.

'Bai Qingyue, I wonder how you would react if you saw me with my father.'

She wouldn't be surprised that if she attempted to enter showbiz in the future, Bai Qingyue would do her best to force her out of the industry to protect her image in public again. Su Xiaofei's very existence was a stain that would ruin everything Bai Qingyue had worked so hard for thus far, but it didn't matter to Su Xiaofei at all.

Su Xiaofei would have just let her birth mother be had Bai Qingyue not schemed and harmed her in her past life. She would have turned a blind eye and pretended not to know the woman if Bai Qingyue didn't collude with Ye Mingyu to ruin not only her life, but also Yun Qingrong's reputation.

Bai Qingyue had been Ye Mingyu's biggest supporter in show business and the woman was one of those responsible for Bluemedia going into a crisis, which forced Yun Qingrong to work harder than she already was to save her company.

Alas, in the end, when Yun Qingrong passed away, the company eventually fell into Mo Yuchen's hands along with her fortune. It made sense why the Yun family didn't see her in their eyes back then.

She had failed to protect the mother who had taken her in, and she didn't deserve to be acknowledged as Yun Qingrong's daughter.

Not that she could blame them, because she didn't acknowledge the Yun family as well since they had also failed to protect her mother. No matter what kind of mistakes her mother made in the past, she shouldn't have been ignored and given a cold shoulder by her own family like that.

This made Su Xiaofei dread her meeting with the Yun family. She had to remind herself that she was only doing this for her mother's sake, and for the Yun family not to breathe down her neck in the future.

Su Xiaofei took a deep breath and shut her eyes. There was no point in overthinking the past if she couldn't protect Lu Qingfeng this time. As her thoughts slowly drifted off to slumber, she wondered where Lu Qingfeng read such an intriguing story.

While Su Xiaofei was heading to dreamland, Lu Qingfeng remained awake on his own bed, thinking about the words she had said earlier after he'd told her the story of his first life. There were missing pieces from that memory, and he wasn't sure if he would be able to remember any of it.

As for Su Xiaofei, he hadn't thought that she would think that way. It was painful to think of her deaths in his previous lives, enough to disturb his sleep at night with countless nightmares. Perhaps this was why he could only have a dreamless sleep when Su Xiaofei was next to him.

'I thought I already knew her well. I guess she still managed to surprise me once in a while.' He thought.

Lu Qingfeng turned on his side, barely seeing anything outside his window in his dimly lit room. He was surprisingly calmer tonight, something he hadn't felt when he was alone in a long time. Usually, his thoughts would have plagued him by now, not allowing him to sleep. He shut his eyes, and for the first time since his second rebirth, he was able to sleep well through the night.
