Chapter 754: You Are The Coward
What Ah Li meant was that it was extremely dangerous for Ou Luoxi to go to Dun Qiao Village on his own.
But Mr. Tao Ci’s plotting was very sinister. He came prepared, and they were at the losing end. If Ou Luoxi did not go, Little Xuyan would definitely be in danger.
Whether to go or not, only Ou Luoxi could make the decision.
Everyone outside the tent looked over at Ou Luoxi, and they were all waiting for his orders. Ling Fei was also looking at him, and she hesitated to speak.
Ou Luoxi’s expressions were just as usual. He raised his gaze to look at Xia Xiaofu, who was in front of him, before he lifted his long legs apart to walk over. He gently embraced her from behind.
She was hugged suddenly. Xia Xiaofu was shocked, but when she had a whiff of the familiar scent on his body, she relaxed her and said, “What are you doing? Let go. Everyone is looking at us.”
Ou Luoxi buried his head in her hair as he took a deep breath of air, and he had a smile on his face as he said, “Who? They have all left.”
Xia Xiaofu looked back, and everyone had really left already.
Her face was a little red, but when she thought about it, she quickly said, “What is wrong with you? Is there…news about Little Xuyan? Your people are back already?”
“Yeah.” Ou Luoxi hummed out loud and said, “We have sent the money over, but Mr. Tao Ci did not let Little Xuyan go. He asked us for more money.”
“What?” Xia Xiaofu’s face went pale, and she said, “What does this Mr. Tao Ci want, exactly? We gave him millions of US dollars, and he wants more? Is he just fooling around with us now?”
“Xiaofu, don’t be agitated. The entire Dun Qiao Village has been surrounded by our people. Mr. Tao Ci is unable to escape. If he wants money, then we will just give it to him. If he wants to play a game, we will accompany him to do so. After all, he does not dare to touch Little Xuyan. You don’t have to worry.”
Xia Xiaofu could not not worry. Little Xuyan had already left her for an entire day, but she did not want to give Ou Luoxi any stress, so she was silent.
Ou Luoxi kissed her small face and said, “We have to wait till tomorrow morning for the second transaction. Go and wash your face and go inside the tent to sleep. I will wake you up when there is news.”
“I do not want to sleep…”
“Be good. You are unable to help out if you stay here, and you’ll actually distract me.”
…
Xia Xiaofu lay down in the tent, but she turned and flipped around, and she was unable to fall asleep.
Little Xuyan was in Mr. Tao Ci’s hands, and Mr. Tao Ci was coming for Ou Luoxi. She had a bad premonition in her heart, and she always felt that Ou Luoxi and Little Xuyan were in danger.
But she could not do anything at all. She closed her eyes, and the corners of her eyes were a little wet.
Suddenly, someone helped her wipe the tears on the corners of her eyes. Ou Luoxi propped himself above her and gently asked her, “Why are you crying again? With me around, everything will be fine.”
Xia Xiaofu lay down on her side. She buried her face deep into the pillows. Her nose was red as she said, “But I am very afraid. I am afraid…that both you and Little Xuyan would be in danger…”
Ou Luoxi propped one hand on the side of the bed and weaved the other hand through her hair. He smiled and said, “I would not let Little Xuyan be in trouble. I will guarantee you: If…I get into trouble, isn’t that perfect then? You can bring Little Xuyan along and marry Chen Jingyu. He is a good man whom you can rely on for the rest of your life.”
Xia Xiaofu opened her eyes quickly. She clenched her small fist and hit him harshly before she said, “At a time like this, what are you saying right now? If you get into trouble, without you saying it, I will definitely bring Little Xuyan along and marry someone else. I would forget you completely.”
Ou Luoxi wrapped her small fist as he brought it to his lips and kissed it. He nodded his head and said, “That’s good then.”
“You!” Xia Xiaofu was furious.
“Xiaofu, I always wanted to tell you this… Sorry, sorry, those years, I was not a good man, and I am also not a good Daddy. I was not responsible towards both you and Little Xuyan, and I only gave you…sadness.”
Xia Xiaofu snorted out and said, “You only know how to regret now? What were you doing back then? Over this half year, it was all Chen Jingyu who was accompanying us, and you disappeared completely.”
Ou Luoxi looked at her red lips that she pouted. His dark gaze had a glow as he said, “Xiaofu, over the past six months, did you…miss me?”
“I didn’t!” Xia Xiaofu denied it immediately.
But Ou Luoxi was entertained by her. This little gal was being untrue to herself. It was obvious that she missed him. The tone that she used just now to complain to him. She’d just complained that he was not around for the past six months.
“Xiaofu, do you know why I did not appear? That was because I did not have any courage, and I could only rely on a large amount of work to numb myself. I did not dare to appear before both of you. You know Little Xuyan… I hurt her young heart once. I did not dare to look at her eyes. I was afraid that I would be unable to take it. I also did not dare to let her see me because I was afraid that she would be unable to take it, and you…
“In the past six months, when I closed my eyes, I would see your pale face. You slept in my resting room and could not stop tearing up. You lay down on the bed, and your wrists could not stop bleeding… I thought that you must have had no feelings left for me already. You must have wanted to escape away from me to regain your freedom… I did not dare to appear before you; I was afraid that I would force you…”
Was this the reason for him not appearing before her?
Xia Xiaofu still could not take it. She took a breath through her reddened nostrils before she choked up and said, “Ou Luoxi, you are truly a coward!”
“Yes, I am a coward.” Ou Luoxi felt pain as he cupped her small face, then he kissed her attractive red lips and said, “Xiaofu, I love you.”
Xia Xiaofu originally wanted to reject this kiss, but Little Xuyan was in her heart, and she did not have any strength to move at all. Furthermore, she was frozen because of his sudden confession…
Her teeth lost control quickly, and his kiss came in.
When he was done kissing her, he let go of her. He opened his eyes, and the woman beneath him did not close her eyes for the entire time. Her long eyelashes had beads of tears hanging on them. She was in a blur and seemed silly as she looked at him, and she looked extremely adorable.
He used his thumb to wipe her slightly swollen red lips and had a smile on his face as he said, “Go to sleep.”
Xia Xiaofu was unwilling to shut her eyes.
“That was not enough? You want to do that with me? But we cannot do it now. I have saved it for half a year. You will definitely get pregnant if we do not use any protection.”
What was he talking about?
Xia Xiaofu stared at him fiercely. She was angry as she closed her eyes before going to sleep.
She did not want to sleep. She was not tired at all, but after closing her eyes, she felt that her eyes were very heavy, and she could not open them, so slowly, she fell asleep.
Ou Luoxi was by her side until she fell asleep completely. He stood up and bent down to kiss her forehead, then said, “Xiaou, I will definitely bring Little Xuyan back. If I…do not come back, then…just like what I said just now. Forget me.”
…
Xia Xiaofu was in a blur as she opened her eyes. She sat up, and her head felt a little faint. Where was she right now? How long did she sleep for?
She stood up, opened the tent, and looked out of the tent.. The moment she looked out, she was shocked. It was already dark outside, and she actually slept into the night.
She quickly headed out, and she wanted to look for Ou Luoxi to ask him what was going on.
Suddenly, Ah Li walked over and said, “Miss Xia, you are awake now? Are you hungry. Should we prepare dinner now?”
