The Birth Of A Villainess

Fortunately, he already knew the answer to that.

Leaning towards the desk in the middle of the room, Qu Xing Xu raised his eyebrows at the parchment on top of it with clean and elegant writings.

"Why are you listing down the noble families in the Capital?" He asked as he traced his fingers on the parchment.

However, instead of answering him, Lin Xiaofei stared at him as if he was a stupid boy who never seen a flower cake all his life.

Casting the weird look on her face, Lin Xiaofei cleared her throat and said, "That's the guest list."

"For what?"

Lin Xiaofei frowned and wondered whether Qu Xing Xu was playing with her or not.. She was currently listing down the guests who would be allowed to attend their wedding ceremony.

"It's for the wedding." She patiently explained but didn't say more.

A flash of understanding went out in Qu Xing Xu's eyes and nodded but frowned upon a second of thinking more of this. "I understand you're trying to list the guests but I can't understand why are the Zhou and the Royal family included? And not pick randomly?"

The Zhou family was the paternal family of Lin Xiaofei and was also the family who turned their backs on her. Her father never approached her and never even tried to get the daughter he had with Lady Lin, Lin Xiaomeng's daughter.

It was expected that Lin Xiaofei never wanted anything to do with them and the feeling was mutual as the Zhou family declared they want nothing from Lin Xiaofei and yet, it seems that Lin Xiaofei had other plans and gave them the title as guests of honor.

On the other hand, Qu Xing Xu wasn't sure about inviting the Royal family. Despite the fact that he had the same bit of blood that coursed through the royal family, he hadn't thought of inviting them at all. Angering Emperor Yun for not doing so doesn't worry him at all. On the contrary, Qu Xing Xu wanted to see them shaking in anger and shame for not being invited to his wedding.

​ Another reason why he didn't want the royal family to come to his wedding was that their cunning enough to do some mischief and he didn't want any of it to sabotage or stop his wedding with Lin Xiaofei.

Besides, that was not everything.

Written on both the guests of honor and other guests that were invited, everyone who were reported to have shady characteristics were included in the lists. It was as if the lists were for an intended villains party where all the vile and corrupt people gathered and take time to discuss their plans on where and when will they create another mayhem.

Or perhaps, Lin Xiaofei intended to list down her hit-list and eliminate all of them at once in their wedding? A brilliant plan but he won't allow her to destroy their wedding just because she's angry at him.

Without a word, Qu Xing Xu held the parchment in his hands and tore it apart before throwing it outside.

"What are you doing?!" Lin Xiaofei shouted in alarm and wanted to stop him.

Qu Xing Xu barred her with a hand on her shoulder and threw the shredded list outside, scattering it in the air and to the pond.

"Let's discuss the guest list once more and pick the most deserving one to attend our wedding." He told her after he led her to the chair in front of the desk.

Lin Xiaofei scoffed. "You're saying that as if we're picking candidates for the academic selection."

"And no, I'm not changing it." She added on and glared at him.

Qu Xing Xu sighed and sat beside her. He could see her already picking up the brush and dipping it on the ink on the inkstone and writing the royal family and the Zhou family as guests of honor.

"You can exclude the royal family. I don't mind it and I'm sure they wouldn't do or say anything once they find out they're not invited." He said and crossed his arms.

"I'm not worried about angering them." She looked at him. She knew that Qu Xing Xu might be thinking that she didn't want to be seen as unfilial since his roots came to the royal family but that wasn't her intention, "I'm letting these people seat on the front row so they can engrave the scene of us bowing three times and our union in their eyes."

Lin Xiaofei didn't forget that the princesses in the Palace looked like they want a piece of Qu Xing Xu and just thinking of their faces turning green in envy and hatred, she couldn't wait to see it in person once again.

And another, she had other plans that she couldn't tell him until the day of the wedding. He might try to change her mind if she told him right now. That is why she needed the right time to tell him. Maybe just right before the wedding starts or maybe during the ceremony.

"What are you thinking about?" Qu Xing Xu asked her as she was caught in her thoughts once again.

Smiling brightly at him, she said, "I was thinking of making our wedding the grandest in history. With all the flowers and fireworks."

"Fireworks doesn't work in daylight." Qu Xing Xu frowned albeit pleased to hear that she was thinking of their wedding and making it the best.

"It will be beautiful nevertheless." She told him and started to write the important people who must come and watch the show with her.
