Chapter 724: Why Are You So Pa.s.sionate Today?
“Mr. Chen, I am already very afraid now.” Xia Xiaofu was serious as she looked over at Chen Jingyu, and she slowly said, “Your Chen family’s background is powerful, and you have wide connections. Ou Luoxi slogged and almost died for the position that he has today. I do not wish for him to get into any more accidents, and don’t fight with him because of me. Also do not give those people who are watching a chance to attack you. Mr. Chen, you are innocent. The feelings that you have for me, I am afraid that I am unable to repay them. I cannot drag you down.”
Chen Jingyu was silent, and after half a minute, he slowly said, “Xiaofu, you still love him, right?”
….
Xia Xiaofu carried Little Xuyan as she went into the taxi. Little Xuyan had already stopped crying, and Xia Xiaofu held her small soft hand as she blew air on it. “Little Xuyan, does it still hurt?”
Little Xuyan’s eyelashes were extremely thick. They were long, curly, and thick. The eyelashes were stained with glistening tears as she childishy asked, “Mummy, does Daddy…not like me?”
Xia Xiaofu froze. She quickly raised her gaze up to stop the tears in her eyes as she said, “Little Xuyan, why do you think that he is your…Daddy?”
Little Xuyan used both of her small hands to hug Mummy’s neck, and she acted cutely and gentle. “He is just my Daddy… Little Xuyan has a Daddy…”
Xia Xiaofu stretched her hand out to hug Little Xuyan’s small figure before stretching her hand out secretly to wipe her tears. She did not know how to say it. Little Xu Yan did have a Daddy. Ou Luoxi was her Daddy.
But…
“Little Xu Yan, it is not that Daddy does not like you, Daddy is only too busy now. When he is busy, don’t go and disturb him. Our Little Xu Yan is a good child, right?”
…
Xia Xiaofu went over to Ou Luoxi’s high cla.s.s bungalow. There were three maids in the villa. When she came over, the helpers looked at her with guesses in their eyes, and she did not bother with them.
She spent three days here. Over these three days, Ou Luoxi did not come back, every time after she woke up, she would start to work with the helpers. She was very silent, and she did not speak to anyone.
That night, the doorbell was pressed. The helper went over to open the door and said, “Young Miss, you are here?”
Young Miss?
Xia Xiaofu was in the kitchen when she heard that. It seemed that Gong Ling was here. She had long guessed that the helpers here were maybe people from Green Door, and she did not guess wrong.
She felt slightly uncomfortable. Ou Luoxi forced her to come here. What would Gong Ling think after seeing her?
She heard that the support that he had in Green Door was getting stronger and stronger. The head position was just a step away from him. Wasn’t he afraid that something might happen at this crucial point?
Gong Ling walked into the living room to have a look and said, “Aunty Xiang, is Older Brother Gong Ming not here today?”
“Young Miss, Young Master is not around. Young Master has already been gone for an entire week.”
“Oh,” Gong Ling replied to her, and at this moment, she saw Xia Xiaofu, who was inside the kitchen, from the kitchen window. Her facial expression changed as she surprisedly said, “Older Sister Xia?”
Xia Xiaofu felt awkward when she saw Gong Ling now. She tugged on the corners of her lips and had a tiny smile on her face.
“Young Miss, please come this way. I have something to tell you.” Aunty Xiang seemed to be hesitant.
Gong Ling was in a blur as she nodded her head, and she followed Auntie Xiang as they went into a secluded corner.
“Young Miss, tell Aunty Xiang honestly, what stage are you at with Young Master? A while ago, I heard Old Master’s tone. He was already preparing to marry you off to Young Master, and Young Master’s att.i.tude is also unclear and unsure. Why is it that after returning back to T City, Young Master is tangled back together with this Xia Xiaofu? Now, he even boldly brought Xia Xiaofu back into this villa. Now honestly, she is a maid, but actually, who does not know what Young Master is thinking about deep down? Where does Young Master place you inside his heart?”
Gong Ling’s expressions were sad and disappointed. Older Brother Gong Ming had brought Older Sister Xia here, and it seemed that he could not forget his feelings for Older Sister Xia, but a while ago in j.a.pan, when her father talked about her marriage with him in front of everyone, Older Brother Gong Ming did not agree or disagree.
What was Older Brother Gong Ming thinking exactly?
“Young Miss, the situation in Green Door now is not the same as it was back in the past. Over the past six months, Young Master’s power has gone through the roof, and he has developed two parts. His reputation is well known, and everyone in the Green Door is under his leaders.h.i.+p. Even Ah Gan, who grew up in Green Door since he was young, has also been unable to take any action after Young Master suppressed him. Although the colour green comes from blue, it is way stronger than where it came from. Everyone knows that Old Master’s powers have faded. Young Master is definitely going to take over Green Door, but if Young Master does not marry you right now, knowing that Green Door would never be able to land in the hands of someone from a different surname, it would be a fierce fight in the future.”
How could Gong Ling not know about this?
When she returned to T City together with Older Brother Gong Ming, her father looked for her for a chat. Daddy said that Older Brother Gong Ming was extremely powerful now, and he asked her to grab onto Older Brother Gong Ming’s heart for the sake of the Green Door’s future.
She wanted to, but Older Brother Gong Ming did not really bother with her.
And now, Older Brother Gong Ming brought Older Sister Xia over here, and he did not care about her and her father at all.
“Young Miss, I have observed this Xia Xiaofu for the past few days. She is beautiful and gentle in her movements. She is also smart. Men all like girls like this. Young Miss, don’t be too reserved. Men are unable to reject women who take the initiative. After everything is all done, would you still be afraid that Young Master would not marry you? Young Miss, men are all like that. It is very normal for them to have a group of women outside. The thing that we want now is an official t.i.tle.”
Gong Ling heard what she said, and her ears turned red. What Aunty Xiang meant was that she ought to take the initiative and do that with Older Brother Gong Ming?
But, how could a good girl do such a thing?
She was embarra.s.sed, although she did like Older Brother Gong Ming.
And also, she felt that in the eyes of her father, Aunty Xiang and others, this love that she had for Older Brother Gong Ming had already changed. She never wanted an official t.i.tle, and she wanted a lover more.
Aunty Xiang felt that everything that she had to remind Gong Ling of was all said, and at this moment, a helper came over and said, “Young Miss, Aunty Xiang, just now, Master Ah Li called and said that Young Master is coming back tonight.”
Aunty Xiang was extremely delighted and hurriedly said, “Then prepare dinner quickly. Young Miss is around today. Prepare a candlelight dinner.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
…
Ou Luoxi opened the main doors of the villa. The lights were not switched on in the villa, and it was enveloped in darkness.
He stood in the foyer area as he changed his shoes. He held his doc.u.ment bag with one hand, and he used another hand to undo the tie on his neck before walking inside. He’d just taken two steps when a soft, fragrant figure dashed into his embrace.
Ou Luoxi froze. He threw the doc.u.ment bag in his hand casually onto the sofa, and the tie on his neck was loose. He used one hand to touch the figure in his embrace. He pinched the curve of the woman’s small waist with force and lowered his volume down as he laughed and asked, “Little vixen, why are you so pa.s.sionate today?”
The figure in his embrace used more strength to hug him as she said, “Older Brother Gong Ming.”
This sound made Ou Luoxi’s expression change drastically. He took his large hand that he placed on her waist back before pus.h.i.+ng the woman’s shoulders silently, then used another hand to flick the light switch on the wall.
