Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

Thirty minutes had already passed, but Han Zijun and Su Xiaofei had yet to return from the examination room, making Lu Qingfeng fidget in his seat, but Xi Qian remained calm. Xi Qian was thinking that Han Zijun was trying to be thorough with his assessment, which was fine for her. Meanwhile, Lu Qingfeng decided that this was heaven's way of punishing him.

Then a woman came from the examination room, taking both of their attention.

"Master Han wants the two of you to follow me. He said that he wants to show you something." She said, glancing between Lu Qingfeng and Xi Qian.

Lu Qingfeng sprang back to his feet in an instant, his expression hardened, wondering what it could possibly be. Xi Qian followed behind him and when they entered the examination room, they were both surprised by how large it was.

They heard a sob from the other side of the room, and Lu Qingfeng stiffened once again. His heart dropped. There was no doubt that it was his wife who was in tears and as to why Su Xiaofei was crying, he was sure he was partly responsible for it.

"In here!" They heard Han Zijun's voice and the two glanced at each other and headed to the other part of the room that was veiled by a white curtain.

When they arrived, they saw Su Xiaofei lying on a small bed with tears in her eyes. Lu Qingfeng was tempted to envelop his wife in his embrace and hold her tight. Seeing her in tears was enough to waver his resolve and agree with her choices.

Su Xiaofei thought that he was avoiding her, but in truth, Lu Qingfeng would always find himself seeking after her at the end of the day. At night, he would sneak into their room, sit at the edge of their bed and watch her sleep. His heart ached knowing that she fell asleep crying, and he was the one responsible for it.

"What's wrong?" He asked Han Zijun with a frown. "Why is she crying?"

"Calm down, young man. Can't you see that those are tears of joy? Take a seat and have a good look at your children."

Children?!

Lu Qingfeng wasn't the only one who was shocked to hear those words, because Xi Qian immediately turned to see what was going on. It seemed that Han Zijun was performing an ultrasound on her best friend.

"Can you see them?" Han Zijun ran the scanner across Su Xiaofei's exposed stomach. "There are two dots on it. Fraternal twins, it seems. Miss Su's uterus looks healthy and the babies' heartbeats are normal."

Lu Qingfeng gaped at the screen, hearing the swishing sound from it, followed by the constant and steady rhythm of heartbeats. Something within him stirred and suddenly, he was filled with guilt. How could he even think to terminate the lives of these children? He understood now why his wife refused to give them up.

She hadn't even given birth to them yet, and Lu Qingfeng knew that he was already wrapped around their fingers. There was no way he would insist on aborting them now that he finally had a glimpse of them.

Han Zijun put away the equipment and Su Xiaofei sat up and neaten her clothes. She gave her husband a glance, her lips quivering. Her eyes were pleading him not to kill their children.

When Lu Qingfeng stepped forward and drew her into his embrace, Su Xiaofei broke in tears and clung to him. There were no words needed to be said, because Lu Qingfeng wouldn't dare to take their children away from her.

Xi Qian let herself smile, finally relieved that Lu Qingfeng was able to regain some sense and listen to Feifei.

"What options do we have now?" Lu Qingfeng questioned.

Han Zijun printed the ultrasound result and handed it to Xi Qian as the couple was currently occupied with each other.

"One baby is enough to change the hormone levels in her body, but now that we are aware that there are two, this only means that her hormones would act like it was on drugs and may speed up the effects of the poison." Han Zijun started to explain, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned against the table behind him.

Lu Qingfeng said nothing, but held his wife tighter. It seemed that Su Xiaofei wasn't willing to part from him yet, as she wrapped her arms around his waist, forbidding him to leave. It felt good to have his arms around her again.

"Then what do we do?" She asked Han Zijun in return.

"Lu Qingfeng said that you two will be moving to Shenjing."

Su Xiaofei nodded at that. Lu Qingfeng was about to be announced as the new head of Lu Corporation this coming weekend, they needed to fly to Shenjing soon.

"Then that's great. I'll follow you there and consult my elders about this poison. I have yet to find or make the antidote for it, so our best solution is to find whoever poisoned you and take the antidote from them."ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoᴠelFɪre.net

"How sure are you that they have an antidote?" Su Xiaofei asked, curiously.

In her previous life, no one was able to procure the antidote for it. So how could Han Zijun be this confident to believe that there was one?

"Miss Su, if there's something I know about these kinds of poisons, those who administer it would surely have one, just in case they were poisoned by it. The faster we get our hands on that antidote, the better for you and your children." The doctor said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"While waiting, we can delay the effects of the poison by administering drugs in small amounts to suppress them."

"So we will stick to Feifei's plan?" Xi Qian asked. "Deliver the babies, then you will do whatever you have to do to get the poison out of her body?"
