Chapter 718: Sir, It Has Been So Long Since We Last Met

The figure on the balcony whose back was facing her was extremely familiar to her. Xia Xiaofu’s irises contracted. It was…Ou Luoxi.

“Luoxi, is that you?” she asked softly.

Ou Luoxi turned around slowly. He did not walk over, but he leaned against the railing that was engraved with flowers. There was a thin white veil between the two of them. The dark lights made both of their faces seem extremely blurry.

He did not say anything, but he just looked at her quietly.

Xia Xiaofu’s throat went dry. Her long eyelashes were trembling before she cast her gaze down and said, “Luoxi, was it you who saved me? Thank you.”

Ou Luoxi did not answer her. The atmosphere in the room became silent, and it was very awkward.

After a very very long time, Ou Luoxi spoke, his voice was deep and hoarse as he said, “Where did you want to go?”

Xia Xiaofu’s nose suddenly felt sour. She raised her eyelids up before she said, “Luoxi, we have known each other for so many years now, right? I was 18 years old when I met you coincidentally in the depths of the mountain. For three years after that, I could not forget you at all. When I was 21 years old, I met you again on set before I fell in love with you. I started to woo you, and in a blink of an eye, I am already 28 years old this year.

“Luoxi, in the past, when our Xia family was still around, I was very silly and very naïve. I thought that love was everything in my life. I thought that I could give up everything because of you, but I very slowly realized that this world is very practical. I started to work hard to survive, and there were times when I became tired and fatigued. I also hoped to find a man that I can rely on.”

“I married Ou Ze, but I was not blissful at all, and after that, you came back. We…” As she spoke Xia Xiaofu paused for a moment. She looked at the blurry figure on the balcony and smiled slowly as she said, “Luoxi, would you marry me?”

Ou Luoxi did not move and also did not say anything.

“Hah.” Xia Xiaofu laughed as she mocked herself, then said, “You would not marry me, right? With the identity that you have right now, we would not have a future, right? Luoxi, I am not young anymore. I am 28 years old now. I want to leave this place, and I want to start over again.”

She thought that she’d explained it very clearly already. In the past, he did not have the broad shoulders of a man to let her rely on him, so she married Ou Ze, and now she had no future, given his identity. She did not want to waste more time and youth on him anymore, so she wanted to dump him and leave this place to start anew.

Did he understand what she was saying?

Ou Luoxi looked at the small figure on the bed. His face was as cold as ice as he said, “Why did you see the wrong number on the bomb activator?”

He has asked this question multiple times. Did he still want…to give her a chance?

Xia Xiaofu’s heart felt like it was stabbed by a sharp knife. She was in pain as all of the nerves in her brain curled up. She closed her eyes forcefully, and she opened her eyes firmly and said, “After all, Ou Ze…is Little Fifth’s biological father.”

Her words just came out of her mouth, and she heard a mocking laughter. “Xia Xiaofu, you finally admit it?”

Xia Xiaofu thought about Little Fifth’s small face. Sorry, I am really so sorry…

“Luoxi, even if I did not admit it to you, you already knew, right? Since that is the case, I also do not have the need to lie to you. We should just leave it like that. You are Young Master Gong Ming now. You still have Miss Gong Ling by your side. I want to go overseas and migrate now. Although I have fooled you so many times, in the past I really…truly loved you. I also gave you my first time. You did not lose out, and we do not owe each other anything, so let’s break up peacefully.”

After she spoke, Xia Xiaofu stood up, and she headed towards the door.

She wanted to leave this place.

But she’d just taken two steps when her slim wrist was pinned down by a large palm, he said, “You have finally said the truth that is inside your heart now. You were not happy after you married Ou Ze, so you and your mother thought of making use of me as a stepping stone to help you walk out of this marriage, and now that you are divorced, you have money. My value to be taken advantage of is all gone, so you are behaving just like how you did one and a half years ago and kicking me away. Xia Xiaofu, what did you treat me as from the start to the end?”

“Ou Luoxi, let go.” Xia Xiaofu worked hard to take her hand back as she said, “We have already broken up, you are a little agitated now. You’d better not harm me…”

She had yet to complete her words, and her frail shoulders were pinned down by two large palms. She was turned around directly. Ou Luoxi’s strength was very great, and she raised her eyebrows in pain as she called out, “Ou Luoxi…”

She crashed into his eyes, and his dark eyes were full of scary blood vessels and anger.

“You said to let go, and I am supposed to let go? Why do I have to listen to what you say? When you liked me, you came to flirt with me all you liked, and now that you want to break up, you just want to leave without any care? Is there such a good thing on earth?” Ou Luoxi clenched his teeth as he spat out his words.

“You…what do you want to do?”

Ou Luoxi did not reply to her question. He looked at this woman who was enlarged before his eyes. He really hated that he could not strangle her to death. At this moment, he really hated her so so much.

He took a deep breath of air, lowered his volume, smiled, and said, “Xia Xiaofu, am I not treating you well enough? One and a half a years ago, you used the reason that you were saving Xia Corporation to get together with Ou Ze. I did not dare to ask a single question. I know that at that time, I did not have anything. I did not match you. I always wanted you to turn back, but what did I wait for? It was you and Ou Ze’s wedding and also the thousand arrows that both of you gifted me!

“And now that I am back, would you think that I do not know that you are making use of me and fooling me? But I did not expose you. I thought with the position that I have today, it would be able to satisfy you. I am giving you a chance now. I hope that you could stop thinking of those things and accompany me well. Are my demands too overboard? Why do you have to betray me again and again?”

Ou Luoxi shook Xia Xiaofu’s shoulders. His handsome face was in great pain, and it was scrunched up greatly.

Xia Xiaofu’s eyes were welled up with tears. She choked up as she said, “No matter how well you treat me, the status that I want and the home that I want, you are not able to give me that. I cannot waste my entire youth on a man who does not have a future.”

“Hah, Xia Xiaofu, did I say I was not going to marry you?”

This sentence made Xia Xiaofu freeze. She raised her gaze up suddenly and looked at him in disbelief.

He…

Ou Luoxi looked at the shocked expression in her eyes. He slowly curled up the corners of his lips as he said, “It is too late now. Everything is too late. It was you who made me see your true colours. It was I, Ou Luoxi, who was blind, and that was why I would fall in love with a woman like you. I cannot love you anymore because you are not worthy of that!”

He let go of her shoulders.

Xia Xiaofu’s legs went soft, and she slumped down onto the carpet immediately. She was done for. They were really not together anymore. Everything was going in the direction that she imagined, but her heart was in so so much pain.

She was in so much pain that she could not breathe anymore.

At this moment, there was the sound of crying. “Wa, wa!” Xia Xiaofu was alarmed and stood up from the floor quickly as she said, “Little Fifth? Little Fifth….”

Why was Little Fifth here?

She quickly ran over to the door and placed her small hand on the door handle, wanting to open the door.

But she was unable to open the door. The door was locked from the outside.

“Did I say that I was going to let you leave?” A sinister voice rang out from behind.

Xia Xiaofu turned around. She shook her head in fear as she said, “Ou Luoxi, what did you bring Little Fifth over for? Don’t harm her. She is innocent. I am begging you now…”

Ou Luoxi stared at her small face before looking towards the shower as he said, “Go inside and clean yourself well.”

Xia Xiaofu’s entire body was ice cold as she said, “What do you want to do? No, don’t do that. We cannot… Can you let go of me? I want to bring Little Fifth along with me and leave this place…”

“Xia Xiaofu, I will not let you go. There is something that you said wrong. It is not true that we do not owe each other anything. You owe me something. You owe me so much that you are unable to pay me back for your entire life.”

Xia Xiaofu shrunk back until her back was against the ice cold wall.

“You are not going to wash up? Fourth Uncle’s people are searching for you and your daughter now. What about this, I will have someone throw you and your daughter out now…”

“Don’t do that!” Xia Xiaofu shouted out. Her entire body was trembling as she nodded her head and said, “I will wash. I will wash up. Don’t touch Little Fifth. I will listen to whatever you say..”

Xia Xiaofu was souless as she headed towards the bathroom.

Ou Luoxi looked at her small pale face and her face that was stained with tears. She looked extremely pitiful and seemed as if she’d been badly bullied by someone. It was just as if she were extremely innocent, but she was actually the worst person.

She was the worst, baddest, and most evil woman in this world!

Ou Luoxi took a stride forward, and he used one large hand to hold her slim waist as he threw her directly onto the soft sofa. Xia Xiaofu felt her head spin. She wanted to get up, but the man’s handsome body already pressed down on her.

“Ou Luoxi, I have not showered. You don’t…”

His hand pressed her cheek, and he stopped her struggling. He used the thumb on his other hand to wipe her red cherry-like lips fiercely and evilly. His eyes were all anxious, and he was panting heavily as he said, “You don’t have to shower anymore. No matter how much you shower, you are still dirty… You should still be clean, right?”

Xia Xiaofu widened her eyes. Her small face was red and white, and she hit him while feeling uncomfortable.

Ou Luoxi closed his eyes as he went to undo his sleeping robe, and he said, “What are you pretending for? Didn’t you do this kind of thing towards me in the past? Everything that I know about this was all taught by you, little…woman…”

…

Inside the living room of the villa, Xia Xiaofu’s mother carried Little Fifth as she coaxed her. They were originally still inside Xiao Li’s house, but a group of people had barged inside Xiao Li’s house suddenly and “were invited” to come here.

Xia Xiaofu’s mother was uncomfortable as she looked around the villa before she looked at Ah Li, who was sitting down on the sofa in the living room, as she said, “Master Ah Li, why did you have to bring both of us here? I want to go back. I still have to wait for news of my daughter.”

Ah Li stood up and said, “Madam Xia, Miss Xia is right here. She is in Young Master’s room upstairs, so you do not have to worry. It is already too late right now. someone come over. Bring Madam Xia over to a guest room to rest.”

“Yes, sir.” The helper stepped forward and said, “Madam Xia, please come this way.”

Xia Xiaofu’s mother was suspicious as she glanced upstairs. She felt that everyone here was behaving oddly. Of course, Xiaofu’s mother also felt weird. She did not know what had happened and asked, “Master Ah Li, my daughter…”

“Madam Xia, it is already late now. If there is anything that you want to say, say it tomorrow morning then. Young Master is here. What else would Madam Xia be worried about?”

Xia Xiaofu’s mother had no other choice but to give up, and she carried Little Fifth upstairs.

A subordinate looked on as Xia Xiaofu’s mother went into the room, then he stepped forward and softly whispered, “Master, it is not early right now. Our flight to Japan is leaving soon.”

Ah Li had a glance at the watch on his wrist as he said, “Wait a little while longer. Young Master has his own decision in his own matters.”

“Okay.” The subordinate nodded his head, and after a while, the subordinate could not help himself and hesitate as he said, “Master, Young Master has stepped in to save Miss Xia. It would definitely make Fourth Uncle angry, and now, Young Master even brought Madam Xia and Little Young Miss over. It is very obvious that he wants to tell Fourth Uncle that these three women are the people he wants to protect. Young Master is provoking Fourth Uncle like this, and this is really a danger for the trip to Japan.”

Ah Li had a look at the tightly shut door upstairs as he said, “Fourth Uncle wants to attack Miss Xia. Young Master intervened to help her, and only by doing this would he then be able to ensure that Miss Xia and the rest are all safe. As long as Young Master is here for one more day, Fourth Uncle would not ruin relations easily. To be frank, Young Master still does not bear for…Miss Xia to die.”

Young Master was so smitten in his love, and his subordinate had no other choice but to let out a sigh.

As he spoke, Ah Li had a smile on his face as he said, “The matter that you are worried about during this trip to Japan… Young Master has already decided to attack Green Door. Fourth Uncle has his guard up against Young Master, and with his skills as Young Master, everyone has to admit to his position as the leader.”

…

Inside the room, Xia Xiaofu rolled down from the sofa. She hugged the rubbish bin as she vomited. The sound of water flowing down rang out from inside the bathroom, and Ou Luoxi was taking a bath.

The bathroom door opened quickly. Ou Luoxi changed into a new set of clothes and walked out. He headed straight to the closet and took a coat out.

Xia Xiaofu stopped vomiting, and her long eyelashes were still stained with tears.

At this moment, a pair of handmade leather shoes came into her line of vision. Her small chin was pinched by two fingers. She was forced to raise her head up. Many blood vessels in Ou Luoxi’s eyes disappeared, but his facial expression was still icy cold as he said, “I am going to Japan now. While I’m gone, you’d better stay here obediently. I do not have any more patience for you. If you dare to make me unhappy again, I guarantee that I will teach you the meaning of regret!”

Xia Xiaofu looked at his icy expression as he stood before her dressed immaculately. Huge, hot teardrops fell down her face as she said, “Okay, I…will listen to you… Don’t harm my mother or my daughter…”

Ou Luoxi let go of her chin before he turned around and left hurriedly.

Until she heard the sound of the door closing, Xia Xiaofu bent over and perched down on the soft carpet to sob out loud. She wanted to make a way out for each of them, so why did the both of them have to be tangled with one another again?

…

Half a year later

Ou Luoxi went to Japan, and he stayed there for half a year. In this half year’s time, Xia Xiaofu did not get any news about him at all. Fourth Uncle, Ah Gan, and Gong Ling all seemed to return to Japan. At the start, Xia Xiaofu was afraid. She was fearful that Fourth Uncle’s people would come looking for her, but in this half year, she was leading a calm and uneventful life. No one came to disturb them.

Xia Xiaofu stayed behind in T City. She did not dare to go overseas. She was really afraid that she would anger Ou Luoxi. She continued to lecture in X University, and the most happy thing was that her little Xuyan was one year old now. She was growing up slowly.

That day, all of the students rushed towards the amphitheatre. They heard that there was a high ranking official coming over to school to hold a talk, and that person was extremely knowledgeable. They heard that he was also handsome and attractive, and even the unmarried teachers in the office were all extremely excited.

Xia Xiaofu did not care too much. After class was dismissed in the afternoon, she was walking along the corridor. A handsome, familiar figure walked over in her direction at this moment.

Xia Xiaofu stopped in her tracks slowly. She was puzzled for a short moment before she let out a beautiful smile on her face as she said, “Sir, it has been such a long time since we last met.”
