The Birth of a Villainess

"Young miss…" Bai Lu said in a whisper. She was worried that her young miss fell unconscious while standing after seeing the man she liked sitting before her.

Lin Xiaofei took a step forward. She stopped in the center of the hall before greeting her grandfather before turning to greet Qu Xing Xu whose eyes were smiling and that made her bit her inner cheeks.

He's enjoying this, isn't he? Thought Lin Xiaofei who was about to sit on an empty chair on the opposite side where Qu Xing Xu was seated.

But before she could even reach that place, she heard her grandfather say, "Fei'er, why don't you sit beside the chair of beloved grandson?"

Lin Xiaomeng was all smiles as he thought that he should become the cupid to this couple. Although Lin Xiaofei and Qu Xing Xu weren't yet married, in Lin Xiaomeng's eyes, they were already married for years now.

Lin Xiaofei was stunned and turned to look at her grandfatherfather with a frown. She was sure that Lin Xiaomeng would make things difficult for that man since she's the pearl in his hand. And yet, what is this? Why was Lin Xiaomeng calling that man his 'beloved grandson?'.

"Young miss, let's go." Bai Lu pulled her sleeve once and said in a low voice, "Isn't this a chance for young miss to be near the Duke?"

After the maid's words, a chuckle sounded on the side. Qu Xing Xu cleared his throat and one corner of his lips was pulled upward into a sly smile.

Lin Xiaofei wished she could beat someone up. She knew that what Bai Lu said just now was clearly heard by him and he seemed to enjoy every moment of it.

Bending her knees, Lin Xiaofei said, "I'm sorry, grandfather. However, I think it is improper for my lowly status to sit beside the Duke. Isn't that right, Duke Xing Xu?"

She smiled at him and sent a glare on his way to follow her lead.

Sadly, Qu Xing Xu ignored her hints and his smile and a wicked smile was on his lips, "Don't worry about anything. You will be soon the Duchess of Xin and with that title, I think no one in this whole empire who are able to sit beside me."

Lin Xiaofei opened her mouth to say something but he was faster as he said, "There is no need for you to be so shy. We will be married soon so sitting beside each other should be natural for both us."

Lin Xiaofei felt dizzy after hearing him say that. She can't wait to be alone with him and choke his life out of him.

On the other side, Lin Xiaomeng felt like this new beloved grandson of his was becoming more favorable in his eyes. It seems that the man his granddaughter found for herself to marry was extremely doting to his granddaughter and felt reassured.

Although Qu Xing Xu's actions today wasn't enough to prove he will be a good husband to his granddaughter, Lin Xiaomeng was still feeling good when seeing that Qu Xing Xu was giving face to Lin Xiaofei in front of her family and even willing to announce she will soon become the Duchess of Xin.

However, the other people who were inside the hall and the three other people who had just arrived in front of the hall were unhappy.

The three Lin sisters were two minutes later than Lin Xiaofei when they arrived in the east courtyard and the moment they were in front of the hall, they heard a magnetic deep voice saying those words.

At first, Lin Hua Lou thought that this person was Prince Jing but upon hearing the word 'Duchess', she couldn't help herself but clench her fist as her eyes laid on that impeccable handsome face.

"I-isn't that Duke Qu Xing Xu?" Lin Xiao stuttered as she also couldn't believe her eyes at what she was seeing right now, "Why is he here?"

Just after she said that their eyes landed on the several chests on one side of the hall and servants who stood beside it. They clearly heard the words that left Qu Xing Xu's and suddenly, their heart sank to deep into their stomachs.

Lin Yueyi bit her lower lips as she stared ahead. She could see Lin Xiaofei standing and staring at Qu Xing Xu. At this moment, she wished she could rip Lin Xiaofei out of her sight!

It was not only Lin Yueyi who was seething in anger. Lin Xiao and Lin Hua Lou also wished they could go inside the hall and throw Lin Xiaofei outside. As young girls who wanted nothing to be married to a man with high status and wealth, Qu Xing Xu was among the bachelors that every woman would like to marry.

It doesn't matter if they ended up marrying as a concubine or tongfang (lower than a concubine in terms of rank) for as long as they could get a man like Qu Xing Xu or the princes of the Zheng Empire.

Feeling their glares boring behind her back, Lin Xiaofei turned her head slightly to look at their direction before a small smile appeared on her lips.

Raising a foot, she started to make her way towards the seat beside Qu Xing Xu. She enjoyed the increased intensity of their glares and felt funny to see these young girls acting like she stole their favorite pet from them.

Unfortunately, the pet that they liked was not an adorable one and she can prove it as she heard him speak to her in a low deep voice as soon as she sat down.

"You're such a bully. I can't say I'm in an advantageous position being used by a certain woman to agitate young little girls." He lightly laughed before saying in a playful tone, "Or perhaps, was this all part of your plans?"

Lin Xiaofei paused when she reached the teacup on her table. She turned her head to look at him and raised her eyebrows while smiling brightly, "What do you think?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-birth-of-a-villainess_16977433905988805/she's-a-bully_47891983464713014 for visiting.
