The Birth of a Villainess

The Liu Shishi sat back down properly when the driver announced that they're a few meters away from Hong Pei Lou. She clapped her hands as if nothing transpired inside the carriage and as if she hadn't just told her secret to Lin Xiaofei.

Like a child, she beamed at the sight of the restaurant which made Lin Xiaofei curious about what was so exciting about a restaurant that deals with deadly things.

"If people were to see you, they'd think you just saw a caravan passing by because of how you zealously look at Hong Pei Lou." Lin Xiaofei lightly laughed.

Liu Shishi cutely blew her cheeks and said, "How could I not look zealously at it? Can't you see the people crowding the restaurant? They're here for the biscuit that I told you about earlier! I wasn't actually lying about it."

Outside the restaurant, a crowd was already gathered in front. They pushed and pull, trying to get inside the restaurant first and reserve a seat. Apparently, the people who came waited until the restaurant opened because of the new biscuits and dishes that Hong Pei Lou introduced to the crowd.

The front was already packed with people. It doesn't matter who they were and what they wore, everyone was quite determined to get a taste of the food that the restaurant was selling. The prices of the dishes were also not that high hence, everyone was glad to become a frequent customer in that restaurant.

Lin Xiaofei frowned upon getting a glimpse of the situation from the window that Liu Shishi opened. It seems that by the time she hasn't visited the restaurant, it became more popular than needed. Or was this also part of Qu Xing Xu's plans?

That sky fox. Just what was he planning to do this time? Lin Xiaofei couldn't comprehend why would Qu Xing Xu decide to make his restaurant that was designed inside as a deadly organization and a restaurant on the outside to get more customers? Isn't he afraid of being noticed and people finding out the activities he has done so far?

Lin Xiaofei's thoughts might let others think that she was worrying about Qu Xing Xu, however, when they try to pry inside her mind, they will find out that she was actually worried about not being able to get the items she wanted from Hong Pei Lou.

"Do you still want to go inside? There are a lot of people so I don't think you can get in so easily." Lin Xiaofei wanted her friend to give up on her intentions to go to Hong Pei Lou.

Unfortunately, Liu Shishi was pretty determined to get her hands on a bag of biscuits.

"Oh, I have a method to get in." Lin Xiaofei raised a curious brow at Liu Shishi who smiled at her in return, "And who said I'll go inside by myself? You're also going with me!"

Lin Xiaofei: "…"

Within a few minutes of struggling with Liu Shishi's persistent character, Lin Xiaofei finally came down the carriage. The reluctance to go through the crowd was visible on her face that anybody could read it like an open book.

But because her beauty was too much for everyone else, they couldn't help but ignore whatever negativity that passed through her eyes and looked at her admiringly.

"Hey, do you see that girl? Do you think she's from the Chu empire?"

"Perhaps so. I've never seen that beautiful lady anywhere here and I only saw her today."

Almost instantly, Lin Xiaofei got their attention and eyes. They couldn't look away from her but they also didn't try to move from where they stood.

However, Lin Xiaofei only cast them a bored glance as if their attention wasn't worth her time.

"So, will you please tell me what you're planning to do to get inside?" Lin Xiaofei sighed and almost rolled her eyes from the crowd that turned their heads to look at her.

Lin Xiaofei could easily enter the restaurant through both the front entrance and the backdoor. However, if she did that with Liu Shishi, she will make a suspicious move and make others think that she had some connections with someone inside Hong Pei Lou. The last thing she wanted was for her plans to be known to others with the exception of Qu Xing Xu.

Thus, she went along with Liu Shishi's plan for as long as it was better than her using the easy way to get in.

However, little did she know, Liu Shishi had other plans that involved her and it wasn't something she'd ever think of doing in her entire life.

"I do!" Liu Shishi proudly said but smiled awkwardly when Lin Xiaofei stared at her questioningly.

And so, before Liu Shishi could allow her childhood friend to protest against her plan, Liu Shishi drove her knees against the back of the knees of Lin Xiaofei.

Lin Xiaofei was caught off guard and felt her legs falling along with her upper body. She tried to keep herself from falling but two hands grabbed her shoulders.

She glared at Liu Shishi and hissed, "What do you think are you doi-!"

"Shh!" Liu Shishi glared back at her and interrupted her to silence her words. Then, without wasting time, she started to speak in a panicked tone, "Sister Fei! What's wrong? Is it because it was so hot outside you can't take it anymore and you collapsed?!"

Lin Xiaofei wordlessly stared at her. What was this crazy girl talking about?

Liu Shishi's continued, "Move! My sister fainted! I need to get her inside!" She dragged Lin Xiaofei towards the crowd and as if the sea was parted by an unknown force, the people who gathered outside made a path for her and the lady who was too stiff to be someone who should've been unconscious.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaofei at the slight urge to murder someone again.

In the end, Liu Shishi's plan was successful. They indeed got inside the restaurant and even the waiter guided them to a table. But the humiliation that Lin Xiaofei suffered that day was tremendous that she wished she didn't offer her help to this young girl.

At least, the waiter led them to the table in the farthest corner where customers wouldn't be able to see them unless they stood up and approached their table.

"Hehehe… I told you my plan will work!" Liu Shishi was so proud of herself that she shifted comfortably on her seat. This wasn't the first time she did this to anyone as she already did this experiment with her maids. But because they didn't possess Lin Xiaofei's peerless beauty, her plan would often go unsuccessfully.

Thankfully, Lin Xiaofei's beautiful face worked on the crowd, thought Liu Shishi who's smile became wider and brighter.

Lin Xiaofei wanted to get mad at her but upon seeing that bright smile that seemed to illuminate the entire restaurant on Liu Shishi's face, she decided to keep what she intended to say to herself.

She turned her head in an attempt to ignore Liu Shishi and that's when the waiter who had guided them to their table appeared again and said, "May I take your orders, young ladies?"

Lin Xiaofei froze on her seat. She moved her eyes to look at the waiter who was smiling ear to ear as their eyes met each other.

Who knew that the waiter was not just anyone but the Duke of Xin.
