Chapter 731 - Wash Yourself Clean (2/2)

“Ah Gan?” Ah Li smiled. “Young Master, the feast will be held in two days. I assume that Ah Gan has arrived ahead of time. You have not even given him space to breathe in these past 6 months, so he can only conform to the general trend and congratulate you. Now, he must have come here to express solicitous inquiry out of courtesy.”

Ou Luoxi raised his hand and pinched his brow. In a low voice, he said, “Let him in.”

…

In the living room, Xia Xiaofu was squatting down and using a rag to clean the vases.

Ou Luoxi did not allow her to deliver the coffee, so she did not have anything to do. Her low ponytail was wrapped around her chest as she mechanically scrubbed away.

She didn’t notice Ah Gan’s arrival. By the time she sensed him, Ah Gan had already come to her side. “Miss Xia, long time no see.”

Xia Xiaofu raised her head abruptly, only to be greeted by Ah Gan’s hostile smile.

She did not get any good vibes from this man. Looking away, she continued to wipe the vase with her head down, pretending that he was merely air.

Ah Gan was not angry either. He took a look upstairs, then he lowered his voice and said, “Miss Xia, I’ve heard that your life has not been good. Ou Luoxi forcibly brought you back, so you’ve been separated from your mother and your daughter. Tsk. How cruel Ou Luoxi is.

“Miss Xia, this was all your choice. If you had agreed to cooperate with me half a year ago, you wouldn’t have fallen into such a situation now…”

“What are you trying to say?” Xia Xiaofu interrupted him.

“Miss Xia is so straightforward. What I want to say is that there is still a great opportunity, if you would cooperate with me…”

Xia Xiaofu simply stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Ah Gan was left standing there. His eyes shone with hatred, but his lips soon curved into a smile filled with deep meaning.

…

Xia Xiaofu was washing some fruit in the kitchen. There were not many, so she soon finished her task. But still she put the washed fruits back into the basin and washed them over and over again.

Only by keeping herself busy would she be able to stop thinking about Little Xuyan.

Whenever she thought of how Little Xuyan was suffering without her company, her heart as a mummy broke, and she felt that she was on the verge of collapsing.

She didn’t know when Ah Gan and Ah Li had left. She came to her senses just as the other servant in the kitchen called out, “Young Master,” and then quickly left.

She looked back in shock.

All of a sudden, her world spun as she was hauled onto his shoulder as he walked upstairs.

Xia Xiaofu knew what he wanted to do. She clutched his shirt in her two little hands and clenched her teeth in endurance.

This time, he chose his own room. He opened the door to the shower and put her directly under the showerhead. He turned it on, and all of a sudden, freezing cold water cascaded from Xia Xiaofu’s head to the bottom of her feet. She was so cold that even her teeth were chattering.

“Wash yourself clean!” he demanded coldly, then left.

Xia Xiaofu stiffly stood under the shower. She didn’t move, quietly letting the cold water drench her completely. She was still wearing an apron, and both the apron and her clothes underneath had been stained with coffee. The coffee stains flowed down along with the cold water.

She knew that she was very dirty, very unpresentable.

Her brain was in a mess, and she didn’t know what she was thinking. Maybe it was just another blank. Soon, the frosted glass door opened, and the handsome, angry face of Ou Luoxi appeared in front of her.
