Chapter 686: I Will Be Your Wife, Okay?
Both of them came over to the side of the hot spring, and Xia Xiaofu stooped down and used her small hand to test the temperature of the water. The temperature felt right.
She turned her head back, looked over at Ou Luoxi. and said, “Luoxi, I’m taking a bath now.”
Ou Luoxi nodded his head and naturally turned around.
Little Fourth stood at Ou Luoxi’s side, and he was staring at Xia Xiaofu.
Ou Luoxi stretched his leg out immediately and kicked Little Fourth’s small stomach.
“Woo…” Right away, Little Fourth looked at Ou Luoxi with innocent eyes.
Ou Luoxi gave him a look that told it to turn around.
Little Fourth looked at Ou Luoxi — We have to check on one another.
Ou Luoxi: “Cough cough.”
…
After taking a shower, they brought Little Fourth with them as they went back to the small wooden house in the mountains, and Little Fourth lay by the side of the door and fell asleep very quickly.
There was a light shower that rained down outside the house. Ou Luoxi closed the windows before he lit up two candles by the side of the table. The red light from the candle illuminated the entire room.
Ou Luoxi turned around and looked at Xia Xiaofu, Xia Xiaofu was already seated down on the bed. She let down her long luscious hair and used a dry towel to dry it.
Upon noticing him looking over at her, Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze up to look over at him. There was a sweet smile on the corners of her lips, but she sounded displeased as she said, “What are you doing there being frozen? Aren’t you going to sleep on the bed?”
It was only then that Ou Luoxi headed forward. He walked over to the side of the bed, and he lifted the blankets up and lay down inside.
Xia Xiaofu put the towel down and also lay down.
Ou Luoxi’s entire body was stiff. He did not dare to move about as he pleased, and he closed his eyes but could not fall asleep, but there was a soft, fragrant girl lying down by his side. No matter what he did, he could not fall asleep, and his mouth was all dry.
…
The happy days were always so short, and in a blink of an eye, a month pa.s.sed by like this.
Ou Luoxi’s right leg was still injured, and not to make himself look so pathetic in front of her, he trained himself extremely frequently, but the speed at which he could run had greatly reduced. Although he was still quicker than a normal person, he had already lost the quick lightning speed that he once had, and he was still limping when he was walking.
Lovers were blind, and in Xia Xiaofu’s eyes, no matter how he changed, he was forever the Ou Luoxi in her heart, and he was her lover.
Both of them lay down on the lawn. Xia Xiaofu was just like a small lazy cat curled up in Ou Luoxi’s embrace. She looked up at the azure blue sky and suddenly asked him, “Luoxi, do you like children?”
“Huh?”
“A baby, a small boy, or a small girl. Look at Young Master Lu and Ning Qing. They have three children already — two sons and one daughter.”
Ou Luoxi heard what she said and froze before his gaze was hot as he looked at Xia Xiaofu.
“What are you looking at me for?” Xia Xiaofu quickly cupped her small face in her hands, and she opened one finger to have a gap before sneakily looking over at Ou Luoxi. “That’s right, I want to give birth to a baby for you.”
Ou Luoxi never thought about having a baby before. He was not even able to live like a normal person and never thought of having a baby before.
And now, she was saying that she wanted to give him a baby. His heart was up in waves. He used his large hand to pin her soft waist down as he hugged her in his embrace, and he kissed her forehead.
Xia Xiaofu drew circles on his chest and said, “Luoxi, doing those types of things would result in me getting pregnant. Lately we’ve….hmm…done it very frequently. I think I would’ve gotten pregnant very quickly. I like children very much.”
Ou Luoxi used his thin lips to nudge her small, soft cheek.
Xia Xiaofu continued to murmur on her own and said, “Luoxi, do you like a boy or a girl? I like both of them, as long as it is our child. In the future, what should we call our baby? We will think about his formal name in the future. We should think of a nickname first. Hmm… Why don’t we call him…Little Fifth. Whether it is a girl or boy, it would still work.”
Ou Luoxi pursed his thin lips together before he said, “A girl. I like a girl.”
Just as pretty as her.
Xia Xiaofu’s eyes lit up. She curled her arms on Ou Luoxi’s neck and sweetly said, “Sure, then we should think of giving birth to a girl. Giving birth to a girl, as long as we think about it frequently, the G.o.ddess of Children would be able to hear our wishes and give us a girl, but we will agree on this first: If I give birth to a boy, you are not allowed to be unhappy.”
“Okay.” Ou Luoxi bent over to kiss Xia Xiaofu’s red lips.
Xia Xiaofu allowed him to kiss her for a moment, and very quickly, his breathing became hurried.
He sat up before he carried her up into his arms.
“Ay, Luoxi, what are you doing?” Xia Xiaofu stopped him immediately.
Ou Luoxi’s eyes were sparkling as his gaze was hot and l.u.s.tful, and he said, “Let’s go back into the room.”
Xia Xiaofu laughed out loud. “Haha.” She used her hands and feet to climb up. She ran towards the small wooden house and said, “Luoxi, come and chase me then. If you are able to chase me, then I will let you do what you want.”
…
After half a month, Ou Luoxi and Xia Xiaofu drove to buy some food. The car was cruising down the road, and Xia Xiaofu switched on the radio. There was no reception in the mountains, and she had not listened to the news for a long time now.
At this moment, the radio was reporting a piece of financial news. The host’s voice was clear as it rang out in the air —
Based on our sources, the director of Xia Corporation, Xia Bo, has been recently implicated with an overseas case. Although Xia Bo has already been bailed out, he has already been voted out from his position by all shareholders of the Xia Corporation, and also, he is also facing a large sum of debts…
Xia Xiaofu heard the news, and her heart trembled. She lost her voice and said, “What? My dad is in trouble now?”
Ou Luoxi was driving, and he turned his gaze over to the side to look at Xia Xiaofu and said, “The radio seemed to have reported it like that.”
Xia Xiaofu’s face was pale. Over the past two months, she’s been living in the mountains with Ou Luoxi, and there was no reception in the mountains. She also had not contacted her relatives, and now, her dad was in such great trouble. She was actually the last one to find out. She was too much of a failure as a daughter.
“This wont do. Luoxi, I have to go back. My parents only have one daughter; that is me. I have to go back to accompany them and help them get over this obstacle.”
“Okay.” Ou Luoxi nodded his head and said, “Then we will go back now.”
He turned the steering wheel.
“Luoxi.” Xia Xiaofu grabbed the corner of his s.h.i.+rt and said, “If you do not want to leave the mountains, it would be fine if you just send me back. After I am done with these matters, I will come and find you.”
Ou Luoxi held her small, ice-cold hands, and he had a warm smile as he said, “I will accompany you.”
Xia Xiaofu leaned her small head on his shoulder. He was normally someone who did not say much, but his few short words were enough to warm her entire heart up. During this time, she did hope that he was able to accompany her and be by her side.
She closed her eyes gently and said, “Luoxi, you treat me so well.”
…
The car stopped in front of the Xia family villa, and Xia Xiaofu ran into the villa hurriedly as she said, “Dad, Mum.”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother heard her voice and came down from upstairs. She said, “Xiaofu, you are back? Where have you been? I was unable to reach you. I was so worried.”
Xia Xiaofu flew into her mother’s embrace and apologized. “Mum, I am sorry. I heard that Dad got into trouble. Mum, what happened exactly?”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother touched Xia Xiaofu’s hair as she sighed and said, “There was a project that your father was in charge of that was suddenly involved in overseas dealings. Your father was in jail for two weeks. I spent so much effort to ask someone to bail your father out, but those shareholders of the company had already called for a shareholder’s meeting to get rid of all the t.i.tles your father held in the company. This project has taken up a huge chunk of the company’s liquidity, so your father has a lot of debt in his name.”
Xia Xiaofu already prepared herself for it and she looked upstairs as she said, “Where is Dad?”
“Your father was. .h.i.t very badly very by this. He has not been dealing with it well. He does not respond when I talk to him, and he is completely in a blur. He just sleeps after he takes his meals.”
Xia Xiaofu nodded her head and said, “Mum, as long as Dad is fine, everything is still okay. We will try to settle the case privately, and the matters in the company along with those debts, I will try to think of a plan, and everything will pa.s.s.”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother shook her head and said, “You are only a girl. How are you going to think of a solution? Oh right, Xiaofu, over the two months you’ve been gone for, Chen Jingyu has called us frequently, and your father getting bailed out of jail is thanks to Chen Jingyu’s help…”
“Mum!” Xia Xiaofu shouted quickly to stop her mother from continuing.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother turned her gaze over to the side, and it was only then that she saw Ou Luoxi standing by the side of the door.
Ou Luoxi wore a black T-s.h.i.+rt, and his entire being was clean and handsome. Upon seeing Xia Xiaofu’s mother look over at him, he quickly stood up straight before curling the corners of his lips up into a gentle and respectful smile as he looked over at her.
He was very nervous, but he already tried his best to give a good impression to her.
