novelSmiling At Him Brightly
| ← Ch.0735 | Ch.0737 → |
Xia Xiaofu did not hear the rest of the conversation, and she left the office before boarding the car.
The engine started. Xia Xiaofu looked out the windows at T City's scenery. She'd grown up here since she was young, but now that she had a careful look, many big changes had occurred in T City.
Fate always repeated like this, and she thought that it was an ending, but it was merely just the beginning.
Life did not spare her.
She thought about Ah Gan inside her mind. Would Mr. Osaka see her so coincidentally? Ah Gan must have arranged it on purpose, and Mr. Osaka was also coincidentally interested in her also.
She suddenly thought about Ou Ze... Actually, could these two people battle with Ou Luoxi?
They could not.
But why did these two people keep gaining the upper hand?
Because of her.
She was always Ou Luoxi's soft spot.
Xia Xiaofu curled the corners of her lips up slowly. She looked at the reflection of her slim face in the car window. Teardrops flowed down hurriedly, and she was quiet and hopeless.
...
The next morning, Xia Xiaofu woke up. She'd just finished eating breakfast when the main doors of the villa were pushed open, and Ou Luoxi came back.
She ran forward quickly and took the suit jacket from Ou Luoxi's hands. She went on her tiptoes as she went to undo his tie, and she said, "You are back already? Did you eat breakfast already?"
Ou Luoxi looked at the small woman in front of him and nodded his head."I ate already."
Xia Xiaofu hung his jacket on the hanger before turning her head back to ask him, "Do you want to wash up? I will fill the tub for you."
Ou Luoxi stretched his muscular arm out to pin her small waist and brought her upstairs as he said, "You don't have to be busy. The makeup artist will come over later. Change into a dress and accompany me to attend a banquet."
Xia Xiaofu froze, but she smiled quickly and said, "Sure."
....
Two hours later, Xia Xiaofu was done with her makeup. She stood up and used her small hands to lift the train of her skirt up as she spun around. She asked Ou Luoxi, "Luoxi, am I pretty?"
She wore a white layered chiffon dress. It was covered in handmade embroidered flowers on the bottom. There was a blue lace lining that made her look way more like a dreamy fairy. There was a layer of light makeup on her exquisite face. Her long hair was braided and landed on her shoulders. She was so beautiful that she could steal others' souls.
Ou Luoxi looked at her for a few moments before he nodded his head and said, "Yeah, you look beautiful."
Xia Xiaofu's heart was satisfied. She ran over to hold Ou Luoxi's elbow as she said, "Let's set off then. Aren't we going to a banquet?"
"Wait a moment. There are accessories on that side. Go and pick a necklace to put on."
"Oh." Xia Xiaofu walked over, and she picked a pearl necklace before handing it over to him."Luoxi, help me put it on."
Ou Luoxi took the pearl necklace and helped her put it on, the pure colour of the pearl necklace made her fair, smooth skin look better, and she looked stunning.
Both of them walked out of the villa. There was already an extended SUV parked on the lawn. Ah Li was waiting by the side of the driver's seat as he waited for them.
Xia Xiaofu turned her head back and looked at the villa behind her.
At this moment, her small hand was held, and Ou Luoxi softly asked her, "What are you looking at?"
Xia Xiaofu had a smile on her face as she shook her head while she said, "It is only when I leave now that I realized that this is also my home, and I feel a little pitiful."
This word home made Ou Luoxi's eyes light up. There was a small arc on the corners of his lips. He held her small hand and went into the backseat as he said, "Why are your hands so cold?"
"Because... it is almost autumn now."
Xia Xiaofu answered cheekily.
...
The SUV stopped before a five star hotel. Ou Luoxi stepped out of the car, opened the backdoor, and Xia Xiaofu stepped out slowly.
At this moment, another car came over from the opposite direction. The door was open, and Gong Ling held onto Fourth Uncle's elbow as they appeared.
Both of them saw Xia Xiaofu, and their facial expressions changed. Gong Ling's gaze was extremely regretful and pitiful. Fourth Uncle seemed to be startled before having a complicated smile on his face.
Xia Xiaofu nodded her head towards Fourth Uncle politely before looking over at Gong Ling. No matter what, she liked this innocent and kind girl Gong Ling very much.
She smiled at Gong Ling.
Ou Luoxi greeted them simply. Fourth Uncle brought Gong Ling into the hotel first. Beep! There was the sudden sound of a car horn, and another car stopped. Mr. Osaka had arrived.
Mr. Osaka had a look at Xia Xiaofu and took in a breath of air. It was just as if he were appreciating a piece of perfect artwork as he looked at Xia Xiaofu, and he spoke in Japanese as he said, "She is really so beautiful."
"Mr. Osaka." Ou Luoxi stepped forward and used his broad shoulders to block Mr. Osaka's line of vision.
Mr Osaka broke out into loud laughter as he withdrew his gaze. Since Ou Luoxi had brought this beauty here, then this beauty was fated to be his. He was not anxious at that moment.
"Mr. Gong Ming, you are really young and talented. I did not bet on the wrong person. Come, I am wishing us a good time working with one another, haha." Mr. Osaka looked at Ou Luoxi as he stretched his hand out.
Ou Luoxi did not move.
Mr Osaka was stumped, and at this moment, Ah Li stepped forward to explain, "Mr. Osaka, I am so sorry. Our Young Master doesn't shake hands."
Mr. Osaka felt a little awkward, but he quickly accepted it and said, "Young Master Gong Ming, I will head inside first then." He looked at Xia Xiaofu again before heading into the hotel with the bodyguards escorting him.
Ou Luoxi turned around to hold Xia Xiaofu's hand, and he gently said, "You don't have to bother about these people. You also do not have to be nervous. I will go to attend the banquet alone. You just have to stay inside the room to wait for me."
"Sure." Xia Xiaofu nodded her head.
...
Xia Xiaofu was brought into a luxurious room. Ou Luoxi handed a phone over to her and said, "If you are bored, give a call to the person that you want to talk to, but you are not allowed to leave this room. I will come back very quickly. I do not hope to see you gone when I come back."
"Okay."
Ou Luoxi bent his body down to kiss her hair as he said, "I would not forget the thing that I promised you. I will let you see your daughter tonight."
"Oh, I understand." Xia Xiaofu had a bright smile on her face as she looked around the room. She pouted her lips and said, "Why are you so naggy? I will just wait for you here."
Xia Xiaofu spoke as she used her fingers to play with the pearls on her neck, and the necklace broke suddenly. The pearls fell all over the floor, and there was a crisp sound.
"Ah." Xia Xiaofu bent down quickly and felt that it was a pity as she went to pick the pearls on the floor, "Why did it break? It is such a pity."ƒ𝔯e𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝓃oѵℯl - 🅽🅽novel
She heard that pearls breaking was a bad omen.
Ou Luoxi stepped forward. He lowered his gaze to look at the small woman picking the pearls that scattered down by his legs. He smiled and said, "Forget it if it is broken. Do you like pearl necklaces?"
"Yeah, I like them very much. Women all like pearls and jewels." As she spoke, Xia Xiaofu raised her small head up to look at him."Miss Gong Ling wore the heart of the ocean necklace today. That necklace is so expensive and way prettier than the pearl necklace that I am wearing."
Ou Luoxi heard what she said, raised his eyebrows, and did not say anything.
Knock, knock. The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air. Ah Li was outside the door and said, "Young Master, time is up."
"I got it, " Ou Luoxi replied to him. He looked at Xia Xiaofu and said, "I have to go."
He turned around and headed towards the door.
"Luoxi, " Xia Xiaofu called out to him from behind.
Ou Luoxi turned back. Xia Xiaofu stood where the lights were shining down on her brightly, and she was smiling at him brightly.
