Chapter 714: You Are Just Like A Red Apricot

Everything happened too quickly. Xia Xiaofu did not have any time to react, and at this moment, she lost her footing. Ou Ze opened the window and jumped out before disappearing.

Xia Xiaofu covered herself with her ripped collar, then stood up. She looked over at the side of the door, and Ou Luoxi was standing outside the door.

Ou Luoxi came in a hurry, and he was still holding his car keys in one hand. Both of his hands were by his sides, clenched into tight fists. His clear, dark eyes were sharp and sinister as he stared at her.

“Luoxi, why are you here?” Xia Xiaofu noticed that it was him and let out a sigh of relief.

Ou Luoxi raised his heels and went into the changing room. He walked over to the window and looked downwards. Ou Ze had already disappeared from view. He pursed his thin lips together and turned around. The clothes of the woman in front of him were all messy, and her long beautiful legs that were exposed in the air were extremely attractive. He lowered his volume and said, “Why, did you not want me to come?”

“Luoxi, why would you say that? I was only…very surprised.” He would normally park the car outside the school, and he’d never come inside to look for her before.

Ou Luoxi’s eyes were frozen. His deep voice was extremely unfriendly as he said, “Wasn’t that person just now Ou Ze? What were the both of you doing here just now?”

“Luoxi, I was about to tell you.” Xia Xiaofu stepped forward quickly as she said, “Just now, I came here to change my clothes, but Ou Ze had been waiting here in hiding, and he wanted to molest me…”

“Why did you not shout?”

“Because Ou Ze said he kidnapped Little Fifth. Luoxi, let’s go back quickly. Although I suspect Ou Ze was lying just now, I am just afraid that it might be true. I am afraid that Ou Ze would harm Little Fifth.”

Ou Luoxi pursed his thin lips before he took his phone out of his pocket and dialled a number.

“Hello, Ah Li..

Ah Li said something on the other end, and Ou Luoxi hung up. His gaze was all cold as he looked at Xia Xiaofu and said, “Your mother and daughter are fine. They are safe at home.”

The huge worry in Xia Xiaofu’s heart disappeared, and it seemed that Ou Ze was really bluffing just now. At this moment, Xia Xiaofu raised her eyes to look at Ou Luoxi, and she felt that he was acting odd. He was being sarcastic as he spoke.

“Luoxi, what is wrong with you? Did you…mistake something? Ou Ze and I…”

“Hah, what can I misunderstand? I am only asking you, the next time you cheat, can you find a smarter lie and say would a biological father harm his own daughter?”

Xia Xiaofu heard what he said and froze. What…was he saying?

Biological father…

Was he saying that Ou Ze was Little Fifth’s biological father?

Xia Xiaofu’s entire heart went cold. No wonder he was not interested in Little Fifth at all. It turned out that he never believed that Little Fifth was his daughter, and he always thought that Little Fifth was Ou Ze’s child!

Ou Luoxi looked at her coldly. Her face was very pale, and her almond-shaped eyes were moist as if she were shocked by his words. There was a wound on the corner of her lips, and there was a bright red blood stain. The blood stain was extremely eye-catching on her small, light pink lips, and she looked extremely stunning.

She was only wearing a white lace top, and it was ripped. Her white bra was exposed, and her smooth, milk-white skin….

It was just her seductive look and behaviour that made him unable to resist her in bed. There were times that he was too excited and he would feel that he had gone crazy. It felt as if he wanted to break her, but he did not bear to do so.

The year when they were separated from one another, he would often think of the time that they were intimate with one another. She was pushed by Ou Ze onto the table as he bullied her. He did not know how far they went, but he knew that if he had come a little later, she was going to lie underneath another man.

Those horrible memories from over a year ago came flooding back to him. Ou Luoxi firmly clenched his fists as his joints rang out. “Why are you not saying anything? Is it because you do not know what to retaliate or you do not see any need to reply anymore? A previously married couple has already divorced one another and still can do that thing, because there is no difference between once or twice. Xia Xiaofu, don’t you know you are just like a red apricot peeking over the fence? The moment I am not careful, you fall into the neighbor’s yard.”

A red apricot peeking over the fence.

Xia Xiaofu’s ears were ringing out with this sentence. For a very long time, she could not understand the meaning of this sentence. Her entire body was shaking as she took a step back and said, “Luo Xi, you… What do you mean?”

At this moment, her expression was extremely shocked and extremely innocent. It was just back in the past. Ou Luoxi laughed coldly and said, “Would you not understand what I mean? Do you need me to say it directly? More than one year ago, you used the excuse of saving Xia Corporation and stayed inside the hotel room together with Ou Ze. That night, I went over to look for you, and I still saw a used condom inside the rubbish bin in the room.”

“Xia Xiaofu, you said that Little Fifth is mine. Do you know how disgusting I feel every time I hear that? Ou Ze is unable to make it anymore, so you and your mother want to find the next person that both of you are going to rely on. That is me. I can understand that. I can give you everything that you want, but why are you always so hungry? In the dictionary of your life, could someone find loyalty and shame? Do you think that cheating on your partner is normal?”

Every word hit Xia Xiaofu’s heart. She felt that her entire world was messed up now. She did not understand every word that he said.

What was he talking about?

“Luoxi…” Xia Xiaofu’s face was pale as she shook her head, and she wanted to take a step forward to touch his arm.

But Ou Luoxi took a step back and said, “Don’t touch me!”

Xia Xiaofu’s small hand was frozen in mid air. She was at a loss.

Ou Luoxi could not take her behaving like this. She’s the one who made the mistake, but she was behaving so innocent and feeling wronged. If he looked at her for another second, he would want to embrace her in his arms and lower his head down to admit his mistakes and comfort her.

Ou Luoxi turned around and left.

…

Ou Luoxi really left. Xia Xiaofu slumped onto the floor right after. She hugged her knees and buried her head between them. Her eyes were very dry. She did not have any tears because she did not have the urge to cry.

Her mind was a mess. The words that Ou Luoxi had said just now created a bomb inside her head, and she wanted to clear her thoughts.

What condom?

More than one year ago, what did he see?

Why was he so firm that Little Fifth was not his?

When did she become that… red apricot in his heart?

Xia Xiaofu did not know what had happened, but she knew that Ou Luoxi must have misunderstood her, and he misunderstood her very deeply.

No.

A very long time after, Xia Xiaofu stood up slowly. She put on her clothes and a red coat. She ran towards the door, and she needed to go and look for Ou Luoxi to ask him clearly. If there were any misunderstandings, they had to work through it. Her conscience was clear.

It was so hard for them to be together with one another. She did not want to be separated from him. She would not let go of his hands even if she died. She wanted to accompany him for a long long time. She wanted to pay him back, and she wanted to love him properly.

She hailed a cab on the main streets. Xia Xiaofu told the driver to go to a villa.

She knew that his villa was at the Lan Shan estate, and it was a famous neighbourhood for the rich. She was going there right now to look for him.

…

The taxi stopped in front of the Lan Shan estate. Xia Xiaofu stepped out of the car, and there was a beautiful European styled villa before her eyes. It was simple yet elegant. She went up the stairs and rang the doorbell.

A helper came over very quickly and said, “Miss, may I ask who you are looking for?”

Xia Xiaofu looked inside the villa and said, “How are you? I want to look for…Young Master Gong Ming. I must trouble you to inform him. My name is Xia Xiaofu.”

The helper shook her head and said, “I am so sorry Miss. Our Young Master is not seeing any guests today.”

Bang! The front door was slammed shut.

Xia Xiaofu, who was rejected at the door, froze for a moment. She knew that Ou Luoxi was really angry this time, and she hurriedly took her phone out from her bag and gave him a call.

But a robotic female voice rang out on the other end — I am sorry. The number that you have dialled is switched off.

He switched his phone off?

Xia Xiaofu had a look at the lawn, and there was a Spyker parked there. He was back home.

There was another luxury car by the side of the Spyker. Xia Xiaofu could not help but give it another look. This seemed to be the car…that took Gong Ling around.

Gong Ling was inside the villa?

Xia Xiaofu walked over to the French windows. There was a gap left in the curtains by the French windows, and she could look into the living room.

There was someone sitting down on the sofa inside the living room; it was Gong Ling. She was flipping through a magazine, and the helpers were extremely polite as they served her a cup of coffee.

At this moment, the door to the room upstairs opened up. Ou Luoxi walked out. He’d just taken a shower, and he wore a dark blue coloured silk robe. His short wet hair was soft and handsome as it drooped over his forehead, and he looked handsome like a piece of refined jade.

He lowered his gaze to casually tie a knot on his waist, then went down the stairs.

He had a glance at Gong Ling, who was seated in the living room. He had a blank expression as he turned around and went into the living room. He used his right hand to lift the cup of coffee that had been freshly ground by the helpers and had a sip.

Gong Ling had a glance at his back profile, and she noticed that he was paying no mind to her. She was extremely unhappy as she let out a, “Hmph!”.

Ou Luoxi did not say anything.

Upon seeing that he did not have any reaction, Gong Ling let out another, “Hmph!”, and threw the magazine she was reading directly onto the floor.

The helpers were shocked as they stood at one side, and at this moment, Ou Luoxi spoke. He did not turn around as he said, “I will ask Ah Li to send you back to Japan within the next two days…”

“I don’t want to go back!” Gong Ling leaped up from the sofa. She pouted her red lips and said, “The moment you open your mouth, all you talk about is sending me back sending me back. The moment I go back, are you going to so boldly get together with Older Sister Xia again?”

Upon hearing her say Older Sister Xia, Ou Luoxi’s facial expression turned cold, and he headed upstairs immediately.

Gong Ling noticed that he was being so cold to her and ran forward immediately. She stretched her small hands out and hugged Ou Luoxi’s waist. The tears in her eyes flowed, and she cried as she felt wronged. “Why do you treat me so badly? It was obviously you were in the wrong, but you have not even apologized to me. I gave you the cold shoulder, but you didn’t even seem to care. These past few days, I have been waiting for you…and now, I am even coming to look for you with such thick skin. I want to make peace with you, but you are still so bad.”

Ou Luoxi moved for a moment and pushed Gong Ling’s small hands away.

Gong Ling hugged him even more firmly and said, “Woo woo, Older Brother Gong Ming, you only know how to bully me. Do you dare to treat Older Sister Xia like that too? I found out about everything between you two. Older Sister Xia betrayed you and even married another man, and she even gave birth to another person’s daughter. Even though she did that, you still treat her so well. Is the one who loves more destined to always get bullied? You are bullying me like this. Isn’t it because you know that I like you?”

Gong Ling’s words pricked a spot that hurt in Ou Luoxi’s heart, and he straightened his waist and did not say anything more.

“Older Brother Gong Ming, let’s get back together… Don’t be together with Older Sister Xia. You two have no future… In the future, I will not force you anymore. You can break the relationship with Older Sister Xia slowly. I will not throw a royal tantrum anymore. I will treat you extremely well… I will accompany you as you walk out of the sadness. Let’s start over…”

Xia Xiaofu looked on as she stood before the French windows. Although she was unable to hear their conversation clearly, she knew that Gong Ling must have lowered herself and said some sweet nothings. Ou Luoxi did not move and allowed her to hug him so quietly.

Xia Xiaofu lowered her long eyelashes, and her eyes immediately became wet. She did not know why she could see the shadow of her 20 year old self on Gong Ling. Gong Ling right now was just like her in the past; she could give up anything because of love.

Xia Xiaofu was suddenly very jealous of Gong Ling. In front of Gong Ling, she felt a little…depressed and afraid.

At this moment, she suddenly saw the strong glare of a pair of headlights. Another car parked on the lawn; Ah Li was here.

Ah Li saw Xia Xiaofu and froze for a moment. He nodded his head politely before ringing the doorbell. The helpers opened the door quickly and allowed him inside.

Gong Ling let go of Ou Luoxi and took a few steps back. Ah Li walked over to Ou Luoxi’s side and lowered his volume to say, “Young Master, there is news of Ou Ze now. No wonder we were unable to track Ou Ze’s number one man all this time. It turns out that this person was in the country, He is a Chinese national. Ou Ze wanted to bring him along to sneak out of the country, and our people were about to nab them, but they separated from one another. Ou Ze probably did not go far. He is probably somewhere nearby, and we are already using all of our manpower to search for him. We have already found this spy of his, but he’s wearing explosives.

Ou Luoxi’s gaze lit up, and he said, “Where is he?”

“He is in a deserted factory in West Mountain.”

Ou Luoxi nodded his head, headed downstairs, and said, “Wait a moment for me. I will go and change my clothes.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Ou Luoxi changed his clothes very quickly, and he brought Ah Li along with him as he went out the front door.

Gong Ling chased after him and said, “Older Brother Gong Ming, where are you going? I want to follow you.”

“The place that I am going to is very dangerous. You’d better stay here.” Ou Luoxi walked over to the car, and at this moment, he turned his gaze over to the side. He saw Xia Xiaofu who had been standing outside the whole time.

Upon seeing his cold and icy gaze sweep over, Xia Xiaofu firmly grabbed her bag with both hands, and she nervously bit her lower lip.

Ou Luoxi’s gaze became dark because of this, but when he thought about the matter that happened in the changing room just now, he curled the corners of his lips up mockingly before going into the car.

The luxury car left quickly.

Xia Xiaofu stood on the spot in a blur. She felt disoriented as she looked at the back profile of the luxury vehicle.

At this moment, Gong Ling had a glance at Xia Xiaofu. She did not say anything but ran to her own car hurriedly and told the driver, “Drive quickly, follow Older Brother Gong Ming’s car.”

“Young Miss, I am afraid that I cannot do that.”

“Why are you wasting time? You listen to me, or are you listening to Older Brother Gong Ming?”

The driver had no other choice but to shake his head, and he stepped down on the accelerator.

Xia Xiaofu saw Gong Ling chasing after Ou Luoxi. She had a bad premonition inside her heart. She guessed that Ou Luoxi brought Ah Li to leave in such a hurry because of Ou Ze.

Thinking about Ou Ze’s expression inside the changing room just now, he had something that he wanted to say but did not do so, and he seemed to be in good spirits. Xia Xiaofu just felt that something was going to happen. She ran to the main road quickly, hailed a cab, and said, “Follow the car in front of us.”
