Chapter 695 - One Year Later (2/2)

She held Little Fifth’s small hand before placing it by the side of her lips to kiss it. Her soft and gentle voice had the satisfaction of a new mother as she said, “Little Fifth, did you miss Mummy?”

Little Fifth opened a crack in her eyes, started to blabber, and placed her small hand in her mouth as she sucked on it.

Xia Xiaofu laughed out loud. She bent over and took Little Fifth into her embrace as she said, “Little Fifth, are you hungry now? Do you want to eat? Come, Mummy will feed you dinner.”

Xia Xiaofu sat down by the side of the bed, before lifting her shirt up to feed Little Fifth milk.

She did not have enough milk, but Little Fifth also did not eat much, so she could still make do.

Xia Xiaofu looked at her daughter’s tiny face, and she was satisfied inside her heart. No matter how tired she was, as long as she saw her daughter’s small face, she felt that her entire heart was full.

Little Fifth was her everything.

Little Fifth was done drinking milk, and she closed her eyes to sleep. Xia Xiaofu placed her in the small cot before sitting down on the chair to rock the bed softly, and she hummed out a lullaby.

She did not know how much time had passed when the door opened with a bang!

Xia Xiaofu was alarmed as she awoke. She raised her gaze up to have a look. It was Ou Ze.

Ou Ze reeked of alcohol. He was stumbling as he walked. When he came into the room, he stretched his hand out to undo the suit jacket that he was wearing and threw it onto the sofa before looking over at Xia Xiaofu.

Xia Xiaofu stood up, and she had her guard up as she looked over at Ou Ze as she said, “Why did you come back?”

During the entire time she was pregnant, he did not come home even once; today was his first time.

“Ha, haha, Mrs. Ou, this is my home, my room. Isn’t it very normal for me to come back? Why are you acting so surprised and looking at me like that?”

As he spoke, Ou Ze walked over to the side of the bassinet, and he looked at Little Fifth. “This is the wild child that you had together with Ou Luoxi. She is already so old now.”

“Ou Ze, what do you want? You are not allowed to harm my daughter!” Xia Xiaofu stretched her slim arms out to protect the bassinet behind her.

Ou Ze stretched his hand out to pinch Xia Xiaofu’s small chin, and a sinister cold smile appeared on his face as he said, “Xia Xiaofu, you can be considered to have spent so much effort to give birth to this wild child, and now that you have, what did you think? If there is a day when she gets kidnapped or she is run down by a car on the streets, would anyone suspect that it was me who did it?”

“Ou Ze, you dare! If anything goes wrong with my daughter, I would not let go of you, even if I become a ghost!”

When the news of her pregnancy was first made known to Ou Ze, Ou Ze sent her to the operating table immediately and wanted her to get an aboriton, but she struggled with her entire life.

She knew that Ou Ze could not accept this child, so she contacted her assistant, Xiao Li, and announced the news of her pregnancy on Weibo first, then attached the pictures of her pregnancy as she made interactions with the other netizens.

She had too many fans, and they were all spread across China, so when the news of her pregnancy surfaced, it made it to the top of all the entertainment headlines, and with a single photo of her pregnancy, it was enough to create buzz.

She pushed herself to the top of everyone’s discussion, and as she expected, Ou Ze was also afraid of the pressure of the public. Although she was extremely afraid during her ten months of pregnancy, she still safely made it through.

And now Little Fifth was born, and as Ou Ze said, there were too many possibilities in Little Fifth’s path. Ou Ze could totally create an accident and extricate himself completely.

Xia Xiaofu glared at Ou Ze coldly and fiercely. If anything happened to Little Fifth, she would fight it out with him!

Ou Ze saw the hate in Xia Xiaofu’s gaze and saw that she looked extremely firm. There was a fire ignited inside his heart, but he laughed coldly and hugged Xia Xiaofu directly.

Xia Xiaofu was shocked. She instantly went to push him away as she said, “Ou Ze, it was you who forced me to marry you. I don’t have you inside my heart at all. In my eyes, you are just a shameless ghost who is extremely disgusting. You would never compare to Ou Luoxi!”

Upon hearing the name, “Ou Luoxi”, Ou Ze’s cheeks contracted for a moment, and he said, “Ou Luoxi, Ou Luoxi. He has already been dead for a year now. Why do you still have hope?”

“He did not die. He would not die. There will be a day when he’ll come back. He will bring both me and Little Fifth away!” Xia Xiaofu glared at Ou Ze fiercely as she spoke.

Ou Ze was really angry. He stretched his hand out to rip Xia Xiaofu’s off.

“Ah!” Xia Xiaofu shrieked out loud.

Knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door. Xia Xiaofu’s mother’s nervous and anxious voice rang out from outside the door as she said, “Xiaofu, Xiaofu, what’s wrong?”

“Mum, save me!” Xia Xiaofu begged for help.

Xia Xiaofu’s mother heard her daughter call for help and started to use her body to knock the door down as she said, “Ou Ze, if there is something you want to say, say it properly. Don’t touch my daughter, Xiaofu!”

Xia Xiaofu’s mother’s voice attracted all of the helpers in the Ou family over. The helpers were in a dilemma as they looked at Xia Xiaofu’s mother and the tightly shut door, “Madam Xia, don’t be like that. Young Master will get angry later.”

Ou Ze, who was inside the room, heard a huge commotion outside the room, and he was extremely irritated. He let go of Xia Xiaofu before getting up from the bed.

The moment Xia Xiaofu was released, she used her clothes to protect herself.

Ou Ze opened the door, Xia Xiaofu’s mother snuck her head inside the room to have a look. She wanted to barge into the room as she said, “Ou Ze, did you hurt my daughter? You…”

She had yet to complete her sentence when Ou Ze quickly stretched his hand out to push Xia Xiaofu’s mother and said, “Get lost! You are just an old thing who can’t die!”

Xia Xiaofu’s mother did not expect Ou Ze to attack her. She crashed against the wall instantly before slumping down to the ground. She’d never been treated so badly, and she was in a momentary daze.

“Mum!” Xia Xiaofu ran out of the room quickly to help her mum stand back up.

Ou Ze looked over at the helpers and said, “This mother-in-law of mine seems to be too free. In the future, ask her to work together with you all. If she doesn’t do the chores, she will not be allowed to eat.”

“Yes.” The helpers nodded their heads.

Ou Ze walked away in large strides.

…

Xia Xiaofu helped her mother into her own room. Her mother’s face was pale, and she was in a daze. Ever since the Xia family crumbled, in this year, she could be considered to have experienced all of the bitterness in the world.

Xia Xiaofu handed a towel over to her mother and said, “Mum, wipe your face.”
