Ou Luoxi’s words caused an uproar amongst everyone at the bar. Everyone knew that they had a previous relationship, so all of them slammed on the table and started shouting —
“Young master Gong Ming, do you want to pursue our Miss Xia again? Although your identity is not the same as it used to be, our Miss Xia should still put you to the test first.”
“That’s right, Young Master Gong Ming. If you want to chase people, you need to show your sincerity. You can’t just talk about it with your mouth. Women love jewelry and flowers. Young Master Gong Ming, you must be more generous.”
Everyone started chiming in enthusiastically. Xia Xiaofu felt that her ears were becoming more red. She quickly opened her mouth to stop them. “You guys…”
Just then, the clean and nice-smelling man beside her pressed in. He put a hand beside her ear and softly asked, “Do you like it?”
Xia Xiaofu turned her head and looked at him in confusion.
Ou Luoxi’s voice was very gentle and soft, with a tinge of sexiness. “Can I pursue you with jewelry and flowers? Pursue you all over again?”
Xia Xiaofu was shocked for a moment and didn’t know how to answer.
“Xiaofu.” Chen Jingyu suddenly walked towards them. He waved and said hello to everyone. “It seems that I’m late.”
Xia Xiaofu instantly regained her composure, and she retreated backwards a little.
Everyone was looking on excitedly. When Chen Jingyu came, they became more thrilled. “Officer Chen, why are you only coming now? If you had come a little later, Miss Xia would already be led away by young master Gong Ming.”
“Young master Gong Ming, your most powerful rival is here. Officer Chen is the most famous eligible bachelor in the political world, and he is infatuated with Professor Xia.”
Xia Xiaofu wanted to find a hole in the ground and hide in it. Chen Jingyu didn’t have such intentions at all. Now that they have said such things, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and awkward.
“Xiaofu.” Chen Jingyu walked behind Xia Xiaofu. He put his arm over her small shoulders, then looked at Ou Luoxi, smiled, and said, “Young Master Gong Ming, long time no see.”
Ou Luoxi maintained a neutral face, but seeing Chen Jingyu’s arm on Xia Xiaofu’s shoulder made his features harden.
“Mommy,” Little Xuyan suddenly yelled from the side.
Xia Xiaofu quickly got up and walked over. “Little Xuyan, what’s the matter?”
Little Xuyan looked up and saw Ou Luoxi and Chen Jingyu, but she ignored Ou Luoxi and directly revealed a sweet smile in Chen Jingyu’s direction. “Uncle, you are here?”
“Little Xuyan.” Chen Jingyu strode over.
Ou Luoxi looked at the scene in front of him as Chen Jingyu bent down and carried Little Xuyan out of the playground. Xia Xiaofu took a tissue to wipe the sweat on her forehead, then fed her water.
He did not know what the three of them were saying, but the mother and daughter were both laughing.
The crowd also noticed the subtle mood shift. “Young Master Gong Ming…”
Ou Luoxi had already left with Ah Li.
After feeding Little Xuyan some water, Xia Xiaofu’s long eyelashes moved down as she turned her head slowly and looked towards Ou Luoxi’s direction.
…
It was empty. He was gone.
…
Ou Luoxi was supposedly here to talk about business today, but in the private room at the bar, the two bosses silently looked at the man leaning on the sofa as he downed one glass of wine after another, totally ignoring them.
The two bosses could tell that Ou Luo Xi was in a bad mood. They smiled and said, “Young Master Gong Ming, I suddenly remember that there is something urgent to settle in my company, so I will be leaving first. We’ll come back again when Young Master Gong Ming has time.”
Ou Luoxi didn’t speak, so the two bosses slipped away as quickly as possible.
Just then, the door to the private room opened, and the bar manager came in with a few beautiful ladies. “Mr. Gong Ming, these are our signature girls, Xiao Chun, Xiao Li, Xiao Lan…”
The man who was busy drinking didn’t look up, but a cold voice sounded, “Get lost!”
The bar manager shuddered, then quickly brought the girls out.
Ah Li, who was standing outside the door, looked in at Ou Luoxi. He could only sigh and close the door.
There was only one person left in the private room. He kept pouring wine until there was a huge pile of bottles on the coffee table in front of him.
Little Xuyan’s face echoed in his mind, then Xia Xiaofu’s face. He felt that his heart was full but empty. Such a feeling was so torturous that he was almost going crazy.
He had seen Chen Jingyu accompanying them many times. They were really like a family, and he was just an outsider…
But Little Xuyan was his, and Xia Xiaofu was his too.
He had nothing. His chest was hollowed out, and it felt so painful. He was like a lonely ghost in the world who could at this point only use alcohol to numb himself.
…
Ah Li was answering a call. Suddenly, the door to the private room opened, and Ou Luoxi stumbled out.
“Young Master, where are you going? I’ll accompany you. ”
“No need. I’m going to the bathroom.” The drunk Ou Luoxi waved and walked forward.
Ah Li could only stand at the same spot and wait.
Ou Luoxi groped for the way to the bathroom. The alcohol had strong aftereffects, and he felt his consciousness drifting away and his eyes blurring. He shook his head and turned around the corner.
He stopped after the turn because he saw a pretty figure standing in front of him, very familiar.
He quickened his pace and hugged the girl from behind.
The girl in her arms was suddenly attacked, and she screamed with fear while struggling.
But the struggle deepened the fear of Ou Luoxi. He tightened his arms and held the girl tightly “Xiaofu, Xiaofu,” he murmured in pain.
The girl heard that this voice was very attractive. She glanced sideways, and when she saw the handsome face of Ou Luoxi, her eyes lit up, and she stopped struggling.
Ou Luoxi buried his head in the girl’s hair, then put his right hand into his pocket and took out something and put it into the girl’s hand. “Xiaofu, do you like it? This is for you. I bought these for you.”
The girl sucked in a breath of cold air. A dozen diamond necklaces were forced into her hands. There were also bracelets. The bright diamonds and exquisite craftsmanship just dazzled her eyes.
These are the heart of the sea diamonds.
“Xiaofu, I miss you so much. I really miss you so much… Will you come back to me… I also miss Little Xuyan very much. Would you come back with Little Xuyan…
“Lately, I dared not approach you, so I could only follow you secretly and look at you… I know I was wrong in the past. You must blame me and hate me. I dare not force you anymore. I give you the freedom you want… Little Xuyan doesn’t like me either. She rejects me so much… I have no right, no courage to appear in front of you…
“But Xiaofu, you still love me, don’t you? Otherwise…you wouldn’t have cut your wrists in Mr. Osaka’s room… You were giving me your blessing…
“Xiaofu, can you…give me another chance. Let’s start over… I will make it up to you and treat you well… I will be a good dad, a good…husband…
“Xiaofu, I miss Little Xuyan so much. I don’t think I can bear it anymore… Please come back to me. I love you. I love both of you…
At that moment, Xia Xiaofu was on her way to the restroom. When the shadow of Ou Luo Xi appeared in her view, she stopped.
She looked at Ou Luoxi holding a girl tight.
