Chapter 696: Little Fifth, Your Father Is Back Now
Xia Xiaofu’s mother took the towel over and wiped her face.
“Mum, I am sorry. It is all because I am unworthy, and that is why I am letting you to be insulted together with me by Ou Ze.” Xia Xiaofu was apologetic.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother shook her head and said, “Xiaofu, don’t say that. Mummy is fine. Mummy is just worried about you. In the past, when you were pregnant, it was a little better, and now that Little Fifth is born, what happened tonight will definitely happen again. It will get harder and harder for you to continue living on.”
Xia Xiaofu sat down on the chair and stretched her hand out to rock the bassinet. The crisp and merry tune of the wind chime was ringing out in the air. Xia Xiaofu curled her lips up into an arc to smile and say, “I still can persist. I believe that Luoxi will come back very quickly.”
“Xiaofu, Luoxi, he…is dead.”
“He is not! Mum, think about this. With Luoxi’s skills, how could he die so easily?” Xia Xiaofu was firm as she spoke.
Looking at her daughter’s bright eyes, Xia Xiaofu’s mother turned her head over to the side. She did not have the face or the courage to tell her how Ou Luoxi used to feed blood to her father.
…
“Mum, you don’t have to worry, let’s just bear with it and raise Little Fifth. We cannot be under someone else’s control forever. I would slowly think of a plan to get a divorce from Ou Ze.”
She would definitely divorce Ou Ze, but Ou Ze would definitely not agree to it. She was afraid that her anxiety would affect him and force him to take action to harm Little Fifth instead. The plans in the future, she had to think about them slowly, and she could not be too anxious. Ou Ze was a cunning person, and she was restricted in many ways. She was left with not many things now, and she could not afford to lose anything more.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother saw her daughter contemplating seriously, and her heart was in pain. Her daughter was pampered with love since a young age, and she burst to fame in the entertainment industry at the age of 16. She was known as the Nation’s Goddess. Her daughter was never subjected to any suffering, and now she’s ended up in the wolf’s den and is subject to Ou Ze’s mood to survive. Fate was really playing tricks on her.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother had no other choice but to let out a sigh.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother left. Xia Xiaofu went into the bathroom to take a shower, and she locked the door from the inside because she was worried. She pushed the drawers over and placed them against the door because she was afraid that Ou Ze would come back.
After doing all this, she sat down by the side of the bassinet to look at Little Fifth, who was sleeping. Her Little Fifth, Luoxi’s flesh and blood…
Xia Xiaofu took out the white veil that she’d hidden underneath the pillow the entire time. She held it in both hands as she brought it to her lips to kiss it. There were two beads of glistening tears in the corners of her eyes, and she softly murmured out, “Luoxi, you are a father now. Did you know that?”
…
The Old Master of the Ou family passed away due to illness, and the Ou family conducted a funeral for him.
That day, it was drizzling lightly. Xia Xiaofu was dressed in black. She held a black umbrella in her hand as she sent Old Master Ou to the cemetery, and the guests that came over to mourn came over to give flowers and bow to him.
After they were done, they comforted the family and said, “President Ou, condolences to your family.”
Ou Ze and Chen Ni were also dressed in black, and both of them had solemn expressions on their faces as they said, “Thank you.”
Everyone then looked over at Xia Xiaofu and said, “President Ou, Mrs, Ou, if we did not remember it wrong, your child should be almost three months old now. When are you all preparing to hold a hundred day banquet?”
Xia Xiaofu did not say anything, and at this moment, Chen Ni said, “There have recently been many matters in the family. Old Master has passed away so recently. If we hold a hundred day banquet, we will definitely invite you over.”
This was something said out of courtesy. Xia Xiaofu was also thankful for Chen Ni’s attitude inside her heart. Her Little Fifth was her precious darling, and she did not wish for Little Fifth to grow up under everyone’s eyes.
Little Fifth…
Xia Xiaofu raised her head up to look at the rain in the autumn day. She did not bring Little Fifth out. Her mother was taking care of her at home. Right now, Xia Xiaofu only wished to go home quickly as she already missed Little Fifth.
At this moment, some sounds rang out in her ears. It was the sound of water under car tires. Xia Xiaofu turned her gaze over to the side to have a look, and there were three black cars stopped by the graveyard.
There was an extended version of a business vehicle in the middle, and the entire car was sparkling black in colour. The beads of water fell down the body and did not affect the car’s elegance at all.
Someone stepped out from the front passenger seat. That person wore a black sweatshirt, and his muscular arms were tattooed with tigers on them. He looked extremely menacing, and the moment they saw him, they knew he was a powerful figure.
That person took a black umbrella in his hand as he walked over to the back door of the business vehicle before he politely pulled the door open.
Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze over to have a look amidst the drizzle. The first thing that entered her gaze first was a pair of black leather shoes, and as she looked up, she saw a pair of black slim-cut trousers, and it wrapped around his long legs. As she looked up even further, it was a good quality black shirt, and it exposed his perfect, exquisite face.
Xia Xiaofu froze entirely. Her defined eyes were contracting and enlarging non stop, and the entire world became quiet at this moment. She could only look at that person in a blur…
That person that took step after step in her direction in the wind and rain.
All of the guests who’d come to grieve acted as if they were all bewitched. “Ou… Ou Luoxi,” someone exclaimed in shock
Ou Ze and Chen Ni stepped forward at the same time, and both of their facial expressions changed drastically as they looked at Ou Luoxi, who was walking towards them.
Ou Luoxi stopped in his tracks before Old Master Ou’s gravestone, and the people that were dressed in black behind him were all trained and polite as they stopped two metres away from him. The man tattooed with tigers was still holding the umbrella up before he looked over at Ou Ze directly, and he smiled politely and said, “The Young Master Gong Ming of the Green Door has come over to send Old Master Ou off.”
The silent people in the graveyard heard what he said and all took a breath of air in. Green… Green Door…
Young Master Gong Ming…
Everyone was flabbergasted as they looked at Ou Luoxi.
Ou Luoxi slowly bent over and bowed three times before the gravestone. Some people dressed in black stepped forward and placed a small white flower on the gravestone.
“Older Brother, it has been such a long time since we last met.” Ou Luoxi turned around and looked at Ou Ze.
Ou Ze looked into Ou Luoxi’s eyes, and his eyes were still bright and sparkling like before. They were beautiful and sparkling just like the stars in the sky, and the only thing that was different from the past was that his gaze was so deep and did not seem to have an end. It seemed that others’ gazes would sucked inside when they glanced at him.
Ou Ze’s heartbeat became erratic. Why was he not dead?
Ou Ze pretended to be calm on the outside. He stepped forward and stretched his hand out, “Luoxi, it has really been such a long time since we last met. A while ago, everyone said that you were involved in an accident, and I was so firm in my belief that you were not.”
Ou Luoxi’s facial expressions were very plain, and the corners of his lips were curled up into a smile that seemed to be there but not at the same time. His clear and sparkling eyes were sharp and cold as they were fixed on Ou Ze’s face, and he said, “Older Brother, could you have not heard this saying? The more pitiful my life is, the harder it would be for me to die. I just find it tough to die.”
Ou Luoxi stretched his right hand out and shook Ou Ze’s.
Ou Ze’s face was all pale, and his right hand that Luoxi shook was already in so much pain that it was numb now.
Just now, when Luoxi shook his hand, he used some strength, and this amount of strength seemed like it was already enough to break the bones in his hand.
Fu Gui, who was standing behind Ou Ze, lowered his head retreating into the crowd. Ou Luoxi said the same thing that he’d said in the port that day, and he could be absolutely sure that Ou Luoxi was here to take revenge.
Fu Gui was trained in martial arts, and he had a look at the tattooed man by Ou Luoxi’s side. This man’s martial arts abilities were beyond normal level, and he was not someone Fu Gui could go against. When he looked over at Ou Luoxi again, that day, he was struck multiple times at the port, and he was struck so hard that as he was bleeding profusely. That image was as clear as if it happened yesterday, and the waters in the port that day were all stained red, but he actually did not die. His powers were really beyond imagination.
