Chapter 753: Did You Agree To Chen Jingyu’s Proposal?

Xia Xiaofu walked out and saw that Ah Li was also outside. He and his men were discussing some matters.

At this time, the underling mysteriously smiled and whispered, “Leader Ah Li, the female soldier sent by Major General Zhou is so beautiful. Is Major General Zhou trying to play matchmaker for our young master?”

Ah Li scolded, “Don’t discuss the private affairs of the young lord casually. Just do your job properly.”

The underling muttered, “I know that general Zhou is definitely trying to be matchmaker for Young Master. Think about it; there are so many elites in the army, but he didn’t choose them. Why did Major General Zhou only pick this female soldier?”

Xia Xiaofu strode towards the military tent. She hung her head down sullenly. That Ling Fei had feelings for Ou Luoxi. Being a woman as well, she could tell at a glance.

That underling was right. Ou Luoxi’s second older brother did not like her. Now, it was only natural for him to take this opportunity to be a matchmaker.

Xia Xiaofu sat down on the small stool in the tent. She suddenly did not understand why she felt so sad and bitter, a little empty, and also a little aggrieved.

She missed Little Xuyan.

Only Little Xuyan belonged to her.

“Miss Xia.” Ah Li walked in with a box of rice. “It’s not very convenient here, so we can only have boxed rice for dinner. Please make do with it.”

Xia Xiaofu raised the corners of her mouth. “Thank you.” She then paused. “Have you all…eaten?”

“Miss Xia, Young Master is still in the tent next door discussing the drawings with Ling Fei and will be eating a little later. The young master tells Miss Xia to eat first so that you will not be hungry.”

Xia Xiaofu blushed at once. She didn’t ask about Ou Luoxi. What’s the matter with this Ah Li?

Ah Li saw from her expression that she was uncomfortable, so he knowingly left.

…

Xia Xiaofu sat in a daze for a while. She didn’t have any appetite and did not want to eat anything. She wondered how it was coming along at Ou Luoxi’s end. It was already early in the morning, and it would soon be dawn.

Thinking of Little Xuyan, she scolded herself hundreds of times in her heart. It was a crucial time, yet she was still unhappy about Ling Fei’s appearance. Isn’t she being too pretentious?

She got up and confidently walked towards the tent next door.

At the entrance of the tent, she heard Ling Fei’s hearty laugh. “Young Master Gong Ming, let’s have our meal first. This is your box meal.”

Ling Fei took a box of rice from a soldier and put it in Ou Luoxi’s hand, then brought over a portion of soup.

Xia Xiaofu stopped and looked inside. There were two meals in the soldier’s hand. It seemed that Ling Fei was going to eat with Ou Luoxi.

Her long lashes drooped.

“Xiaofu,” Ou Luoxi called out.

Xia Xiaofu looked up, only to see that Ou Luoxi had tidied up the drawings on the table and was looking at her with bright eyes. “What are you doing standing outside? Come in.”

“Ok.” Xia Xiaofu walked in.

Her cold little hand was wrapped in a big warm palm, and he led her to sit down on the bench. “Have you had dinner?” he asked softly.

Xia Xiaofu nodded absentmindedly.

“I haven’t eaten yet. Stay here and accompany me.” He sat down beside her and picked up the lunch box.

Xia Xiaofu could see from the corner of her eye that Ling Fei had frozen. There were several underlings in the tent. Everyone looked at them and all started saying, “Young Master, we will head out.”

Ou Luoxi didn’t speak. All the men went out. Only Ling Fei was left.

At that moment, Ou Luoxi opened the lunch box. He picked up a cherry tomato with his chopsticks and put it in front of Xia Xiaofu’s mouth. “Open your mouth.”

Xia Xiaofu was stunned. She stared at him with her bright eyes.

Ling Fei looked at this scene and finally walked out silently.

It seems he could not see anyone else. He looked into Xia Xiaofu’s beautiful almond eyes, which were purem clear, and very charming. He smiled. “You don’t want it?”

Xia Xiaofu collected herself. Her ears had turned red, and she avoided his gentle gaze. She opened her mouth and ate the little cherry tomato.

When Ou Luoxi saw that she was eating so delicately and kept her head down as if she didn’t dare to look at him, he put down the lunch box, then went to kiss her directly on the corner of her mouth.

Xia Xiaofu stiffened.

Ou Luoxi kissed her twice on the sweet corner of her mouth, then asked, “Did you agree to Chen Jingyu’s proposal?”

His question was direct. All of Xia Xiaofu’s memories came rushing back. She still remembered that when Chen Jingyu proposed to her, he had stood outside the French windows and gave her a cold look, then simply walked away.

Since he had already walked away, what’s the point of asking now?

The tinge of warmth Xia Xiaofu had felt was gone. She glared at him fiercely, got up, and left. “It’s none of your business!”

Ou Luoxi quickly reached out his hand and hugged her body. “If it’s not my business. Then whose business is it? I’m your daughter’s father.”

He knew that he is Little Xuyan’s father?

When she woke up at the hospital, she suspected that he had not seen the letter package she sent him, because he’d never appeared in front of the mother and daughter since then. The only thing he did was to forcefully kiss her while he was drunk and compensate Little Xuyan with a large sum of money.

This bastard!

The more Xia Xiaofu thought about it, the angrier she became . She swung her little rosy fists and beat him with all her might. “Let go; don’t hug me.”

“No, I am not letting go!” Ou Luoxi restrained the wriggling body in his embrace, then looked for her lips and kissed her everywhere.

The two were pushing and jostling around. Just then: “Young Master.” Ah Li’s voice sounded.

The two quickly stopped moving, and Ou Luoxi was still hugging her as he asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Young Master, Mr. Tao Ci just called. He wants to make a deal now. He asked our people to bring 100 million US dollars to the bottom of a bridge in Dun Qiao Village.”

Xia Xiaofu was surprised. Ou Luoxi had already let go of her and gotten up. He opened the flap of his tent and looked at Ah Li. “Get ready to go.”

“Yes, Sir.”

…

Xia Xiaofu spent six hours in fear. The morning sun had risen in the sky, but still the people who had gone had not come back.

She couldn’t stand the tense atmosphere, so she went to the open field and took a breath of fresh air.

Ou Luoxi stood outside the camp and looked at Xia Xiaofu’s back profile. His eyes revealed his heartache for her. “Young master.” His gaze was suddenly interrupted by Ah Li as he hurriedly ran back.

He waved quickly and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Ah Li immediately lowered his voice and whispered into Ou Luoxi’s ear, “Young Master, our people went to the designated place, and Mr. Tao Ci made our men walk all around the village. The money was sent out, but Mr. Tao Ci didn’t show up, and little information was obtained. In addition, Mr. Tao Ci sent some words…”

Ou Luoxi looked at Ah Li.

Ah Li softly said, “Mr. Tao Ci said that the money has been received, and now it’s a life in exchange for another. Mr. Tao Ci has invited Young Master to go and meet him in the afternoon, and he only allows for you to go alone.”

Ou Luoxi had no expression on his face.

Ah Li’s face was grim as he said, “Young Master, according to our men who went there, this Dun Qiao Village is like a maze, and it’s easy to lose direction. In addition, we just confirmed with Ling Fei that gunpowder has been buried everywhere in Dun Qiao Village.”
