The Birth Of A Villainess

Chapter 308 - A Sneaky Hand (1)

All the heads that had turned to stared at her made the food that she was about to swallow feel like dry bread that was distributed in the barracks; dry and hard as a stone. Was it so strange of her not to care about what other did during their meals?

But again, it wasn't so out of expectations since the real owner of this body came from an affluent general family and a spoiled one at that. The past Lin Xiaofei would surely mind if someone act so rudely in front of her and criticize them until the day the world ends.

Lin Xiaofei glanced at Qu Xing Xu and raised a inquisitive eyebrow. Qu Xing Xu didn't say anything else after that and decided to focus on eating. He was acting like a good and obedient husband who was tamed by his wife.

After lunch, the table that had plates of dishes on top of it was wiped away and only a few snacks and tea was brought out for them to nibble and drink.

"So, what are you doing here?" Qu Xing Xu put his cup down that had steam coming out of it.

"You never said anything before you got married. You didn't even sent an announcement to us. Are we really brothers?" As the oldest of the four, Jiang Cheng was not afraid of complaining to Qu Xing Xu.

Before Qu Xing Xu went to the Capital, Jiang Sheng thought that he would soon return to their base after taking care of his business in the Capital. But no, the bastard stayed in the Capital and started a few things that didn't make sense and was not part of their plans.

And the most suspicious and shocking news that threw them all off was that Qu Xing Xu was getting married!

Anyone would be able to expect what kind of reaction Jiang Sheng , Ni Zixuan, and Qi Yandi had when they heard of it. They thought they were going senile and hallucinating.

Not only that, Qu Xing Xu's bride turned out to be the spoiled rotten granddaughter of Lin Xiaomeng. Who could actually believe that Qu Xing Xu would marry her even if he had eaten the guts of a tiger.

And thus, after the brothers heard that the wedding took place without their knowledge and wasn't even informed and invited in it, they immediately set off on a long and rough journey to complain at Qu Xing Xu.

"I forgot." Qu Xing Xu said without any sincerity or guilt in his voice. It seemed like he didn't think that inviting his sworn brothers to his wedding was something important.

"You - " Jiang Sheng was angered by his answer. He pointed his finger at the young duke but considering that Lin Xiaofei was right in front of them, he couldn't continue complaining to Qu Xing Xu.

Are they not going to fight? Lin Xiaofei frowned. She eyed the stagnant water in the pond and was silently hoping to see chaos breaking out between these brothers. Being a passerby and watching drama unfolding before one's eyes were something to look forward to after filling your stomach. Especially if it was between two extremely good-looking men.

Lin Xiaofei quietly took a sip from her cup and was about to swallow when suddenly, she felt a hand landing on top of her thigh, making her almost spitting the mouthful of tea in her mouth.

"How long have you known Qu Xing Xu?" After stopping their brotherly spat short, Jiang Sheng refocused his attention to Lin Xiaofei.

But he had done so in the most awkward and bad moment to ask her a question. Because at this point, a finger was intimately drawing circles on her thigh.

Lin Xiaofei's cheeks heated up in embarrassment upon the warm touch that had landed on her thigh. The sensation brought back the scenes that had happened last night. The horror of being found out by some men whom she had just met today and they turned out to be her husband's sworn brothers were enough to both frighten and excite her.

'Don't give in!' Lin Xiaofei tried to steel her resolve by deftly putting her arm down and prying the hand away from her thigh. But the hand was persistently stronger and held it's place on top of her thigh as if it belonged there in the first place.

"Right, it was shocking to know that Qu Xing Xu married earlier than us. How long have you two known and liked each other? Was it first love at first sight?" Qi Yandi innocently asked.

Lin Xiaofei, who was asked by two of the three brothers, was distracted by the hand under the table. She raised her head to observe their face for a second and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they didn't notice what Qu Xing Xu was doing to her right now.

Clearing her throat, Lin Xiaofei replied. "We met a few years ago during a royal banquet."

Her answer was short and vague, not specifically explaining what happened and how they met. But it wasn't completely a lie. Both of them met during a royal banquet. Twice, actually. Both in her first and second life.

"Really? Then, you two have been seeing each other after that day? Was it truly love at first sight." Ni Zixuan asked, trying to confirm the rumors spreading around across the empire that Qu Xing Xu fell for Lin Xiaofei at first sight from their mouths. "Who fell in love first?" He continued to ask.

Lin Xiaofei stared at Ni Zixuan. She was debating if she were to tell them the truth that the previous Lin Xiaofei fell for Qu Xing Xu at first sight because of his handsome face.

Well, it won't harm her if she told them the truth, anyway. After all, it was already widely known that Lin Xiaofei liked handsome men, including Qu Xing Xu.

Just as Lin Xiaofei was about to open her mouth to answer, Qu Xing Xu beat her to it and said, "It was me. I was the one who fell in love first and quickly asked her to marry."

Lin Xiaofei looked up at him in surprise and was relieved. But that moment of relief was short lived.

Because the hand that was on her thigh suddenly started to climb upward and stopped right before a certain part of her lower body.
