Chapter 712: Talking About Working Together
When Ou Luoxi opened his eyes again, he did not see Xia Xiaofu anywhere. He sat up and got out of bed, and he looked around the room and said, “Xiaofu, Xiaofu…”
There was no one inside the room, and Ou Luoxi walked into the bathroom to open the door.
He stepped inside with one foot, and there did not seem to be anyone around, “Xiao…”
The crisp sound of laughter rang out in his ears. Someone was hiding behind the door, and that person ran out quickly and curled both of her small hands around his neck as she leaped onto him.
Ou Luoxi did not have his guard up, and he went forward. He stepped into the bathroom with both feet, using two hands to support the woman’s b.u.t.t as he allowed her to hold his strong waist, and he used his thigh to close the door as he asked, “You are awake already?”
“Yeah, I woke up earlier than you.” Xia Xiaofu had a bright smile on her face as she replied to him.
“Why are your eyes so red?” Ou Luoxi noticed that her eyes were a little red.
“Oh, when I was was.h.i.+ng my face just now, and I was not careful and the water went in my eyes.”
Ou Luoxi noticed that there was a little toothpaste foam on the corners of her lips. She was probably brus.h.i.+ng her teeth when she heard him calling out for her so she hid behind the door in a hurry, and at this moment, her almond-shaped eyes were sparkling as she looked at him, and her eyes looked extremely attractive and pampered.
Ou Luoxi stretched his thumb out to wipe the corners of her lips and pamperingly said, “Wash your face clean first.”
“I don’t want to.” Xia Xiaofu used her fair fingers to curl a little bit of the foam then wiped it on his handsome face, and she said, “I want to be a dirty little cat together with you.”
She was just like a young girl as she did so, and that made Ou Luoxi’s entire body go soft. He took a step back and was against the door, and both of their noses were against one another. They were nudging each other on the noses, and their eyes had a gentle and loving expression in them as they gazed at one another.
Ou Luoxi hugged her tiny waist, and Xia Xiaofu was daring and pa.s.sionate as she kissed his face. She was extremely cheeky and was pecking him like a little chick.
Slap! Ou Luoxi gave her b.u.t.t a slap before pus.h.i.+ng her against the sink. He cursed softly as he said, “You just know how to seduce someone.”
“I would just seduce you!” Xia Xiaofu went to remove his pants.
…
Xia Xiaofu’s mother and Little Fifth woke up very early in the morning, and Xia Xiaofu’s mother prepared breakfast in the kitchen. When she turned her head back, she realized that Little Fifth was missing. She went to look for her hurriedly, but she realized that the door of Xia Xiaofu’s room was open, and Little Fifth was climbing inside on all fours.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother walked into the room quickly and bent down to carry Little Fifth. She knew that Xia Xiaofu brought Ou Luoxi back last night. The young people had a world of their own, and she did not want to disturb them.
But she had a glance at the large bed. There was no one on the bed. Xia Xiaofu and Ou Luoxi were not there.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother found it weird, and at this moment, she heard the sound of movement coming from the bathroom. Xia Xiaofu’s mother was young once. The moment she heard it, her ears and face turned red, and she carried Little Fifth and rushed out the door in a hurry.
The bathroom was not very soundproof. When she went out the door, she heard someone’s voice blurrily say, “Don’t move. My condition in the morning is not too great. I’m too excited. I want …”
What came after that was Xia Xiaofu’s soft shout as she moaned out in comfort, alongside the man’s moans.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother had a look at Little Fifth in her embrace. Little Fifth did not know anything at all, she clenched her small fist and placed it by her lips to suck on her fist. Xia Xiaofu’s mother could only chant, I have sinned, inside her heart.
…
After ten minutes, Ou Luoxi walked out of the room with Xia Xiaofu. Xia Xiaofu’s mother carried Little Fifth as she walked out of the kitchen and said, “Xiaofu, Luoxi, breakfast is already ready. Come and eat breakfast now.”
Xia Xiaofu walked over and carried Little Fifth into her embrace, she did not look at her mother, but she lowered her head down to kiss Little Fifth’s small face as she said, “Little Fifth, did you miss Mummy or not?”
Little Fifth was blabbering and moving about non stop in Xia Xiaofu’s embrace, as if she were saying — Of course I missed you.
Xia Xiaofu had a blissful and a satisfied smile on her face. She carried Little Fifth over to the living room and went to feed her milk.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother noticed that her daughter was treating her so coldly, and she lowered her head silently. She knew that that matter had become the wedge that both of them were unable to get over.
Ou Luoxi glanced at the mother and daughter pair, and he felt that both of them were behaving oddly today.
At this moment, the doorbell of the condominium unit rang out, and someone was knocking on the door.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother went over to open the door; Ah Li was outside.
Ah Li looked over at Ou Luoxi, and he was hesitant to speak.
Ou Luoxi lifted his long legs apart as he walked out, and both of them stood in the corridor as they spoke to one another softly. “What’s wrong?”
“Young Master, we just got news. Ou Ze has suddenly disappeared.”
“Disappeared?”
“Yes. Ou Ze probably knew that our people were all over the hospital spying on him, and during these few weeks, he was extremely silent as he recuperated in the hospital. He probably tried to numb our senses, and this morning, he suddenly disappeared from the hospital and escaped.”
Ou Luoxi curled the corners of his lips up slowly and had a cold smile on his face as he said, “He has finally taken action. I have waited such a long time. Don’t alarm him. With Second Older Brother around, he is unable to get out of the country. Although he has a picture of the sources of military arms, the channels have already been damaged badly, and he would definitely contact the person. After he contacts them, we should wait for him to take action, and when that time comes, we will be able to swoop in and get him.”
Ah Li nodded his head, and he knew that although Young Master gave the picture of the sources of military arms over to Ou Ze, Young Master must have his own plans and plots deep down. Young Master would not let Ou Ze go.
But Ah Li was still worried and raised his eyebrows as he said, “Young Master, Fourth Uncle gave you an ultimatum. Within the given time period, if you are unable to hand the sources of military arms over to Fourth Uncle, I am afraid that Fourth Uncle… Based on what I know, Ah Gan is also taking action on his side. He would definitely not let go of this chance to harm you. Ah Gan is a big threat.”
Ou Luoxi was not alarmed, and he did not even have a frown as he said, “Ah Gan would not dare to take any action for now. You don’t have to worry about him.”
“Okay.” Ah Li nodded his head, and he wanted to continue speaking, but at this moment, he saw Xia Xiaofu walking out of the condominium unit.
Ah Li shut his mouth, and he nodded his head towards Xia Xiaofu politely before taking a few steps back.
Ou Luoxi turned his gaze back to look at Xia Xiaofu and said,”I have some matters to handle. I have to go.”
“Luoxi, leave after you eat breakfast. You cannot work on an empty stomach in the morning.” Xia Xiaofu pouted her red lips.
Ou Luoxi stretched his hand out to pinch her small face, as he had a smile on his face as he said, “You don’t have to worry. Ah Li will prepare it. I have to go. Let’s go out for dinner tonight.”
Xia Xiaofu nodded her head and said, “Okay.”
Ou Luoxi brought Ah Li away with him as he left.
…
Xia Xiaofu went over to X University, and today was the first day that she officially became a professor. She was in a good mood.
She was always the pride of X University, and after they heard that she was coming back to teach at X University, everyone in X University was excited, and the professors and students that she met on the way there were friendly and in awe of her. This was a place that had a scholarly vibe to it, and Xia Xiaofu felt very happy.
But during the afternoon, there was an unwelcome guest.
She was reading educational materials in the office, and at this moment, Professor Li walked over and said, “Professor Xia, someone who came to school to find you. I have already invited him to go into the VIP room.”
“Looking for me? What is his name?”
“I do not know, he said after Professor Xia meets him, you would naturally know him.”
“Okay.” Xia Xiaofu stood up and went into the VIP room.
She opened the door of the VIP room. Xia Xiaofu saw a man inside the room. The man was leaning against the window and looking at the scenery, and after sensing that she was here, he turned around. Xia Xiaofu found that this person looked very familiar, and after contemplating for a moment, Xia Xiaofu remembered this person; he was Ah Gan.
One of the key figures in the Green Door, Ah Gan.
“You are looking for me?” Xia Xiaofu spoke first.
“Yes, Miss Xia. This is the first time we are meeting one another. How are you?” Ah Gan had a smile on the corners of his lips as he looked at Xia Xiaofu.
Xia Xiaofu did not have any good feelings for this person at all. She went straight to the point and said, “If there is anything that you want to say, say it. I have cla.s.ses to teach.”
“Since Miss Xia is so direct, then I will speak frankly. I came over because of Ou Luoxi. I want to discuss working together with Miss Xia.”
“Working together?”
“That’s right, Miss Xia, I have already investigated. You are Ou Luoxi’s first love, and both of you dated and broke up non stop for almost two years. Since Ou Luoxi’s return to the country, you’ve had relations with Ou Luoxi when you were still Mrs. Ou, and, now you’ve moved out of the Ou family villa and started to live together with Ou Luoxi.”
Xia Xiaofu’s heart felt cold. This Ah Gan had really investigated her past very thoroughly. He came here prepared and did not come here with a good heart.
“What do you want to say exactly?”
“Miss Xia, what I want to say is: let us work with one another. Tell the relations.h.i.+p that you have with Ou Luoxi to Fourth Uncle, and tell Uncle Fourth that you are the person whom Ou Luoxi loves deeply, that he loves you only.”
“Hah.” Xia Xiaofu laughed coldly and said, “Why should I say that?”
“Miss Xia, you are together with Ou Luoxi now. Has Ou Luoxi mentioned anything about your future together? Did he promise to marry you and give you an official t.i.tle and a home?”
No.
Although she was together with Ou Luoxi now, Ou Luoxi has not said those words. Last night in the car, he’d said, In the future, be together with him and serve him well.
But she did not want those things before. She did not have the right. He was willing to want her and willing to be together with her. She was already very happy and very satisfied.
Xia Xiaofu knew that Ah Gan still had more to say, and she pursed her red lips together as she looked at Ah Gan.
Ah Gan continued to speak. “Miss Xia, Ou Luoxi has not said these things, right? I will tell you the reason. As long as Ou Luoxi is still Young Master Gong Ming, you cannot have an ending with him, and you can only be together with him in secret. There will be a day when he marries Gong Ling and becomes someone else’s husband.”
“Miss Xia, you love Ou Luoxi very much, right? You do not want to lose him, so you should cooperate with me. I want the position that he has right now, so let’s drag him down from the position right now. Like this, there is no possibility of him being together with Gong Ling, and he would only belong to you.”
Xia Xiaofu curled the corners of her lips up and had a pure smile on her face as she said, “Do you think that I am a fool? You want Miss Gong Ling and the position of Young Master of the Green Door. You want me to help you drag Ou Luoxi down, and when that time comes, we all would be at your mercy. We would do whatever you want, right?”
“Miss Xia, you don’t have to worry. I only want the things that I want. As for Ou Luoxi’s life, I do not have any interest in it.”
Xia Xiaofu laughed coldly inside her heart. Only a ghost would believe anything he said.
“You are done saying whatever you wanted to say. I’m going, then.” Xia Xiaofu turned around and left.
“Ay, Miss Xia.” Ah Gan called her from behind. “If you do not want to work with me, then you are fated to share a man with another woman, and believe me, the day that Ou Luoxi marries Gong Ling, Ou Luoxi would not be able to protect you anymore. Fourth Uncle would never allow you to live in this world.”
Xia Xiaofu did not stop in her tracks. She did not even turn her head back as she said, “Thank you for informing me!”
As he watched Xia Xiaofu walk away, Ah Gan’s subordinate walked inside and said, “Master, this woman is unwilling to cooperate?”
Ah Gan had a sinister smile on his face and said, “This woman is not easy to fool. Ou Ze was right.”
“Master, do we really want to work with Ou Ze?”
“That cannot be considered to be working together. Ou Ze is already half dead. After I make use of him, I will naturally kick him away.”
“Master is so brilliant.”
…
Ah Gan coming over did not affect Xia Xiaofu’s mood. Ou Luoxi did not tell her anything about the matters outside. She also did not care to ask about them. She believed that Ou Luoxi had his own plans, and when it all eventually came into play, everything would be fine as long as she was together with him silently.
Even though…their relations.h.i.+p was temporary, she would cherish this time that she had with him very very much.
After cla.s.s was dismissed, Xia Xiaofu went out through the school gates and saw a silver Spyker parked outside. The window of the car was half open, and Ou Luoxi’s mesmerizing and exquisite face was there.
“Luoxi.” Xia Xiaofu had a bright smile on her face. She ran over to the front pa.s.senger door as she asked, “Why are you here?”
The corners of Ou Luoxi’s lips had a gentle smile as he said, “Didn’t I say that we were going to have dinner together?”
He did say it, but he did not say that he was coming over to pick her up from work. Picking her up from work was different from having dinner together.
Ou Luoxi looked at her smiling face that was so sweet as he said, “Come inside the car.”
“Oh.” Xia Xiaofu nodded her head before she went to sit down in the front pa.s.senger seat.
“What do you want to eat?”
“Hmm.” Xia Xiaofu pondered for a moment, and said, “Shall we have Western? Something like a candlelight dinner?”
“Okay,” Ou Luoxi stepped on the accelerator.
…
They went to a Western restaurant in a large shopping mall. The ambience of the candlelight dinner was very good, and both of them finished eating dinner.
Ou Luoxi went to swipe his card to pay the bill before they walked out. Xia Xiaofu pointed towards the direction of the washroom and said, “I have to go to the washroom. Luoxi, stay here and wait for me.”
“Okay.” Ou Luoxi nodded his head quietly.
Xia Xiaofu walked over to the washroom, and there were a few girls on the road who chatted with one another as they laughed looking at Ou Luoxi’s back profile. They were all smitten by him. Xia Xiaofu looked back, and Ou Luoxi held her bag in one hand as he put another hand into his pocket and leaned against the railing inside the shopping centre. His figure was handsome, and his legs were long. He had the perfect figure to be a model.
Xia Xiaofu’s heart felt sweeter and sweeter. She did not know whether she saved the entire galaxy in her previous lifetime for her to be able to date him. Somehow, he fell in love with her.
Xia Xiaofu went to the washroom. Ou Luoxi stood there quietly, and he had a look around the shopping mall before his gaze went over to the front of the mall. A familiar figure walked over from that direction.
Ou Luoxi blinked for a moment, and his facial expression did not change too much.
He turned his body to the side and lowered his gaze down to look at the crystal chandelier on the second floor.
This familiar person was President Qu. President Qu saw Ou Luoxi, and his eyes lit up. He did not expect to meet Ou Luoxi here. President Qu was about to quickly step forward and walk over to Ou Luoxi’s side.
“Luoxi, I heard that you met with an accident more than a year ago. At that time, I was extremely shocked and even sent people to go over to Huangpu Port to have a look, but I did not manage to find anything. I was upset for a long time. I thought you… The good thing was that a while ago, I heard that you came back safely.” President Qu was extremely excited as he ranted to Ou Luoxi.
Ou Luoxi did not move, and his thin light pink lips opened. He was cold and calm as he said, “Thank you for your concern.”
President Qu had not seen Ou Luoxi for a long time, and Ou Luoxi had become more exquisite and handsome. He looked at his side profile. He was cold and handsome. President Qu knew that he was already Young Master Gong Ming now. He was someone high up there and not someone who was in the same league as him, or maybe he never matched him before.
President Qu’s face was a little upset, and he was sad as he said, “I heard that you got back together with Xia Xiaofu again…”
At this moment, Xia Xiaofu coincidentally walked out of the washroom.
