The Birth Of A Villainess

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Qu Xing Xu asked when he saw her still directing a stabbing glare at him.

Lin Xiaofei stepped forward and turned around to face him. "Qu Xing Xu… be serious and listen to me."

Seeing the heavy expression on her face, Qu Xing Xu no longer wanted to tease her. The pursing of her lips and the way she was pinching her fingers as if to stable her emotions told him that if he were to interrupt her, the courage she gathered to get her say what she wanted to tell him would be wasted.

Qu Xing Xu crossed his arms across his chest and leaned lazily on the wall. Although he took up a very aloof position, Lin Xiaofei knew he was now willing to listen to her.

"Qu Xing Xu… I'm sure the first time we talked to each other you ordered someone to investigate everything about me. You probably wondered how I know a lot of things that a young lady from a prestigious noble family would. How can I be so evil and despicable. And how can I create such schemes and destroy other people's lives.." She began.

Her hands are already trembling and the tips of her fingers were ice cold. Lin Xiaofei knew that she was nervous and anxious of what will happen after and she badly wanted to stop speaking. However, as if something was forcing her mouth to spill the beans, she couldn't do anything to stop the words from flowing out of her mouth.

"I did put someone to follow you and investigate you. And I would be lying if I said I was not surprised when you tried to put a thorn in the royal family. However, I never saw you as an evil person nor I thought you were a despicable one." He honestly told her.

However, her response to him shocked him to the core.

"But I am evil." Lin Xiaofei suddenly said and slowly walked towards him. "I am not what or who you think I am. Everything you see before you right now shouldn't exist."

"When I told you I'm baring myself to you. I meant to tell you the ugly truth. The truth you will find so disgustingly filthy and evil that you might rethink marrying me."

"You think you know me? But let me tell you this. You only know what I let you see and hear from me."

Qu Xing Xu stared at her for a long time. An explicably emotions surged deep inside him. He was confused at where she was going with her words. What was more irritating was that Lin Xiaofei was telling him that he doesn't know her too well. True, he didn't know her way too much for him to know her other plans and secrets, however, he didn't want to force her to tell him everything. He was already satisfied with only knowing a little bit more than others.

Just when he was about to speak, as though she was waiting for him to open his mouth, Lin Xiaofei interrupted him by blocking his lips with a finger.

"Do you want me to tell you who I really am? What I am? " She raised a provocative brow at him and smiled.

Qu Xing Xu hesitated for a long time but judging by how Lin Xiaofei was looking at him, it seems that he wasn't giving him a choice and she would likely tell him even if he said no.

This side of her was something he had never seen from her.

"Qu Xing Xu, I am something that shouldn't have existed in this world. I am vengeful spirit that has already lived once and died horribly. And because of my greed and desire for vengeance, I came back to life." She suddenly laughed hysterically, "I am not Lin Xiaofei. That is not who I am! Honestly, you probably already heard of me before my death. Everyone heard of me actually. And if not because of you… I would've probably forgotten who I was and am."

Suddenly, the room was cloaked with a deadly silence. There was only her laborious breathing that could be heard inside the room. There was only a yellow dim candlelight that gave them a warm glow. But at this moment, the room seemed to be filled with horror that made one's skin stand up.

Then, she moved her face closer to him as if she was about to kiss him and suddenly whispered,"I am Xiaofei… the villainous concubine who disappeared without a sound. The woman who was originally beside Yu Fangzhu and the woman who killed the Noble Consort Xian."

"Now do you still think you know everything about me?"

Qu Xing Xu was silent and could only stare at her with a frown. A cold glint flashed in his eyes and the thick suffocating aura that surrounded him almost made her waver for a bit.

Thankfully, she was able to keep calm despite showing her true emotions to him and let him go as she put some distance between them.

Without her finger stopping him from speaking, Qu Xing Xu regained his rights to speak. However, no sound came out of his mouth. He didn't even say a word and only stared at her.

Probably, because he was too shocked at her revelations or perhaps, he thought that she was not worth his response, hence, he didn't say anything. But either way, Lin Xiaofei felt like she was walking on thin ice and if she took a step forward, the icy path before her would break and disintegrate before her eyes.

After waiting for a whole minute and not receiving a word from him, Lin Xiaofei finally forced herself to say the words she never wanted to say to him.

With her hands closed and nails digger in her palms, she bravely said, "You finally know my secret. You can go out now and never appear before me again. As for the wedding tomorrow…" she choked up and gritted her teeth to continue, "I'll pay for everything that was arranged as well as the time wasted on it."

Lin Xiaofei turned her body to not see him leave the door. And as much as she wanted to stop him from leaving, she couldn't force him to stay with her.

But instead of leaving her alone as what she had expected of him after knowing the truth, Lin Xiaofei felt a rough and warm hand grabbing her forearm.

Then, before she could understand what was happening. She felt herself being pulled to face him again and without waiting for him to speak again, the man before her sealed her lips with his own.

It took ten seconds for Lin Xiaofei to react and she tried to push him away. But her waist was held tightly by Qu Xing Xu and she almost couldn't breathe.

When he finally pulled away from her lips, Lin Xiaofei heard him angrily saying, "You keep on talking and complaining. You didn't even give me a chance to say a word. And now, what? You want me to stay away from you?"

Complaining? Was she complaining to him? Lin Xiaofei was stunned and her mouth was left opened as she stared widely at him.

Lin Xiaofei felt the sides of jaws being held tightly and made her meet his ruthless eyes. She then heard him say, "Xiaofei… Do you think I'm a pushover and don't know how to think? When I said I'll marry you. It doesn't matter who you are and what kind of life you lead in the past. What matters is now and our future. And most importantly, you are mine."

And similar to what she did to him, he didn't let her utter a word. He dove right into it and kissed her relentlessly.
