Chapter 701 - : I Will Return The Money To You (1/2)

Little Fifth was smiling at him.

Ou Luoxi looked at the small smile on Little Fifth’s face and was a little stumped for a brief moment. This child resembled Xia Xiaofu very much, and even her smile was just like hers. She had a very pure and sweet smile as her eyes were curved up, and every time she smiled, it could soften anyone’s heart .

Ou Luoxi felt as if a feather brushed across his heart and made many ripples appear.

It was not something that he could control. He stealthily stretched his right hand out and went to touch Little Fifth’s small, smooth, powdery face.

But he had yet to touch her when Little Fifth gurgled out in laughter, “Hehe!” She stretched her small cute right hand and firmly held Ou Luoxi’s index finger.

Little Fifth started to babble again. She was happy and could not stop making noises on the bed.

The small baby’s hand was extremely soft, and after he got closer to her, he had a whiff of the sweet milky scent that on her body. Even her small clothes were soaked in a clean floral scent. He was very familiar with this scent. It was extremely familiar; it was the scent of the woman.

Ou Luoxi’s immediately heart became soft. His heart was extremely soft, and he looked at Little Fifth as he slowly curled the corners of his lips up.

As the father and daughter were together with one another — click — the bathroom door opened up, and Xia Xiaofu walked out.

Ou Luoxi quickly took his index finger back, then took a few steps back, and he turned his gaze towards Xia Xiaofu.

Xia Xiaofu was in a slight daze as she came out. When she had a clear look at Ou Luoxi, she shook for a bit, but she regained her composure very quickly. She walked over to Little Fifth’s side.

Little Fifth had long known that Mummy was here. She flipped from one side of the bed to the other before opening her arms out to ask Mummy for a hug.

Xia Xiaofu’s voice was very hoarse, but her voice was still very gentle and Motherly. She sat down on the bed as she embraced Little Fifth, “Do you miss Mummy already?”

Little Fifth used both of her small hands to tug onto Mummy’s collar that was right in front of her, and her small head was nudging against Mummy’s chest.

Xia Xiaofu’s small pale face had a smile on it as she said, “Little gal, are you hungry?”

She turned around and stretched her hand out to undo the top two buttons on her shirt before feeding Little Fifth. The mustard yellow blanket fell onto the bed, and she pulled it over to hide half of herself as she hugged Little Fifth.

Her small, fair hand patted Little Fifth’s back, and she was humming a tune.

Ou Luoxi stood behind and looked at the small woman seated on the hospital bed in front of him. Her long, wet hair landed on her shoulders. She wore a loose hospital gown, and his gaze went over from her back. He repeatedly looked at the curves that were subtly visible through the hospital gown…

Although he could not have a clear look, it still made his breathing hurried as usual.

Ou Luoxi straightened his waist up and swallowed his saliva. All he could hear in his ears was the tune that she was humming out. It was so sweet that it was cloying. In the past, he had never heard her sing like that. When she was together with him, she would be the one who took the initiative and was the bright one. She would hug his neck as she told him sweet nothings. At night, she was just like a bout of fire, and she was about to engulf him in her flames.

Ou Luoxi lowered his gaze to look at his pants, and he softly cursed inside his heart.

She did not do anything at all, but he had a reaction.

Ou Luoxi turned around and walked out of the hospital ward.

…

He was in the corridor. Ou Luoxi leaned against the wall, and he took a deep breath of air before softly closing his eyes.

“Young Master.” Ah Li walked over.

Ou Luoxi slowly removed his right hand from his pocket before he said, “Have this tested.”

Ah Li had a look. There were two strands of hair in Ou Luoxi’s hand.

There was one soft strand and one black one. Ah Li did not have to guess to know that it was his and Little Fifth’s.

Ah Li took the strands of hair before placing them into a Ziploc bag. He hesitated for a moment, then he said, “Young Master, do you suspect that Mrs. Ou’s child…is yours?”

Ou Luoxi opened his eyes, and lowered his gaze towards the old tiles beneath his feet. The tiles were badly used, an apt metaphor for the things that happened in the past that he did not want to look back on.

Over the past year, he rarely thought about the past, and he did not remember much.

Because every time he did so, he would be in so much pain that he could not breathe.

“Yeah, I am not sure… We did it once. It was only one time. At that time.. it was very hard for me to even see her once…” Ou Luoxi had a bitter and mocking smile on his face.

At that time, he was cooking in the house and spent all of his effort to take care of her parents. She was interacting closely with Ou Ze, and there was even one time he saw Ou Ze coming out of her room. There were used condoms in the trash. He did not dare to ask about it, and he was afraid that after he asked, the two of them would end up in the dead end.

That night, he was very happy. He had a taste of happiness with her that he had not ever had before. He was willing to go back home to feed blood to her father. He always hoped for a day when the Xia Corporation would become better, and she could end it all with Ou Ze before coming back to his side.

He had been always waiting for her.

But…

Ah Li was taken aback. He was shocked by the sentence — It was very hard for me to even see her. Ah Li could not imagine how pathetic this man that was standing in front of him right now was back in the past.

“Young Master, there are so many fish in the sea. There are plenty of beautiful women in this world. As long as you want them now, there are plenty of options available.” Ah Li had a smile on his face as he spoke.

Ou Luoxi looked at Ah Li, before stretching his hand out to pat Ah Li’s shoulder. He turned around and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go back now.”

“Yes, Young Master.” Ah Li trailed behind him.

…

Little Fifth recovered from her illness. Xia Xiaofu’s mother was also discharged from the hotel. Xia Xiaofu let out a sigh of relief. She looked at her mother and daughter and felt satisfied. In the future, as long as she successfully divorced Ou Ze, the three of them could live together happily, and she did not wish for anything more.

Ou Luoxi was doing so well right now. There was Miss Gong Ling by his side also. She did not think about him anymore. Everything would be fine as long as he was fine.

That day, a helper ran upstairs and said, “Young Mistress, Young Master called just now. He said that there is an auction that he needs you to attend with him.”

“Auction? I am not going.” Xia Xiaofu rejected the idea immediately.

“Young Mistress, Young Master said that you have to go. The driver is already waiting downstairs. Young Master asks that you not be late.”

Xia Xiaofu knew that Ou Ze was threatening her, and now, it did not do her any good to fight Ou Ze so openly, so Xia Xiaofu stood up and went downstairs.

The car drove over to the city centre. The driver said, “Young Mistress, there are many shops here, Young Master asked you to go inside to pick an outfit and not to embarrass him.”

These types of auctions would be attended by the rich and powerful. Their clothing was also important. She did not have any clothes prepared at home, so she had to buy an outfit now.

Xia Xiaofu had no other choice but to go to a department store.

“Miss, how are you? What kind of clothes are you looking for?” The salesperson was passionate as she welcomed Xia Xiaofu.

“I will have a look first.” Xia Xiaofu had a casual look.

At this moment, a clear and crisp voice rang out in her ears. “Older Brother Gong Ming, does this dress look good on me?”

Older Brother Gong Ming?

Xia Xiaofu froze and turned around to have a look.

Ou Luoxi stood at one side of the store, and he turned his body to the side as he leaned against the hangers. He put his left hand in his pocket and used his right hand to flip through a magazine. He wore a red leather jacket today, and he matched it with a white shirt underneath together with a scarf. This type of burgundy red made him look like a piece of refined jade. His body was handsome and tall as he stood there, and he had a mighty aura to him that was clean and pure.

Gong Ling just came out of the changing room. She wore a long green v-neck dress, and she had a cheeky expression on her face.

Xia Xiaofu did not expect to meet them here so coincidentally, and she froze.

Ou Luoxi heard the noise and raised his head up. He had a glance at Gong Ling before lowering his gaze towards Xia Xiaofu.

Gong Ling followed Ou Luoxi’s gaze and said, “Mrs. Ou, this is such a coincidence. Why are you here too?”
