Chapter 307 – Unrequited Love (1)

Sometime later, Grandpa Lu left the party earlier than the rest of their guests. Su Xiaofei, along with her mother and Lu Qingfeng sent him off and thanked him for making time to join the celebration today.

"Did Grandpa make you uncomfortable?" Lu Qingfeng asked Su Xiaofei when her mother hurriedly left to answer the phone call she just received from work.

Su Xiaofei shook her head and hooked her arm with his as they slowly made their way back inside.

"No, but I'm glad that you invited him here, as well as Uncle Qiao and Xiao Han." She smiled at him. She couldn't be happier that Lu Qingfeng managed to invite everyone to celebrate her birthday.

If there was something Su Xiaofei wasn't comfortable with during her birthday dinner, it would be Yun Xiang's presence. She didn't like how the man had been paying extra attention to her but wouldn't come to say a word. It was like he was upset about something, but didn't have the courage to let his opinion known to everyone.

One could also tell that despite the happy atmosphere at Su Xiaofei and Yun Qingrong's home, Yun Xiang was sulking about something, as he currently had a foul mood. Su Xiaofei chose to ignore him instead, not wanting her birthday to be ruined by him.

'If he doesn't like being here, he shouldn't have come in the first place.' Su Xiaofei thought as she sat next to her mother, who was currently having a conversation with her three uncles. She couldn't understand why Yun Xiang had to be such a killjoy, trying to ruin her mood today.

She then spotted Xi Qian, trying to get her attention to follow her outside. Su Xiaofei smiled inwardly as she thought of how her best friend could easily read her mood and save her from boredom.

"Mama, can I go and join Qian and the others outside?" Su Xiaofei asked her mother, trying to contain the smile that was about to spread on her lips. She didn't want her elders to think that she was disrespecting them by spending more time with her friends than her family.

Yun Qingrong laughed behind her hand, before nudging her daughter to go.

"It's your birthday anyway. Go and socialize with your friends. You must be bored listening to old people talk."

Su Xiaofei looked flustered and shook her head in denial. Even if Yun Qingrong was saying the truth, there was no way she would admit it.

"It's okay, Feifei. By the way, your Auntie Mei baked you a cake earlier. Take some and share it with your friends." Yun Zhaonan said, surprising Su Xiaofei.

She felt like this uncle of hers was somewhat weird today. Of all of her Yun uncles, it was Yun Zhaonan who was suspicious of her from the very start. Su Xiaofei hadn't expected that the man would tolerate her like this now.

"Thanks, Uncle! Thanks, Auntie Mei!" She told Yun Zhaonan and Yan Mei before rushing to the kitchen to see the cake her uncle was talking about.

Su Xiaofei was aware that like her mother, her Auntie Mei was also fond of making sweets. She guessed that behind the intimidating aura of the Yun men, they all had a sweet tooth.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Su Xiaofei stood in shock at the doorway when she saw another familiar face. Just how many surprises had Lu Qingfeng prepared for her today? She would have never assumed that she would be able to see Aunty Liu again after the old woman retired and left their household.

"Child, what are you doing? You better come here and help this old woman!" Aunty Liu scolded her, but the smile on the old woman's face was so warm, it almost made Su Xiaofei cry.

When she was younger, whenever her mother and Su Haoran weren't around, Aunty Liu would be the one accompanying her and taking care of her. She had never raised her voice at Su Xiaofei, except for that one time when Lu Qingfeng had his arm broken because she insisted that they should climb up the tall tree in their backyard when they were younger.

Su Xiaofei's eyes stung with tears as she marched towards Aunty Liu and hugged the old woman. This woman had become her second mother during Yun Qingrong's absence. It was just a pity that she didn't take Aunty Liu's advice in her past life and remained rebellious to her mother.

"I'm so happy that you are here." She told Aunty Liu.

Aunty Liu patted Su Xiaofei's back and allowed her to cry silently in her embrace. Holding Feifei like this reminded the old woman of a time when the young Feifei would come to her for comfort, as no one was willing to play with her.

It broke her heart to see her beautiful princess being ignored and hated by others. It was only after Su Xiaofei met the young Lu Qingfeng and Xi Qian did she stop worrying about her young miss.

"How could I miss your birthday, my princess? Since Xiao Feng is also back, there's no way I would turn down his invitation to come today." Aunty Liu replied.

"I also heard that you are officially together now, and I want to say that I'm happy for the two of you." She paused for a moment, pondering if she should tell Feifei what was on her mind. In the end, Aunty Liu conceded and said what was in her heart instead.

"Be happy with Xiao Feng from now on. If you have some disagreements, you better cool your head first before making any drastic decisions."

Aunty Liu had been aware of Lu Qingfeng's growing feelings for her young miss anyway and it was about time for them to be together.

"En, Aunty. I will listen to you.." Su Xiaofei stepped back and wiped the tears on her face, not wanting anyone to worry about her.
