novelWhat Do You Think Of Me
| ← Ch.0745 | Ch.0747 → |
Xia Xiaofu felt extremely bad. Nobody ever told Little Xuyan about these things, but Little Xuyan knew everything. The matters between her and Ou Luoxi definitely left a heavy scar on this young child's heart.
"Little Xuyan, that is between us adults. You still do not know anything now... He is your Daddy, and nobody is able to change this fact.."
"He is not!" Little Xuyan was extremely agitated as she retorted, "He once told me that he is not my Daddy!"
Xia Xiaofu did not know what to say to comfort the heart of this child. She was still young now and could not understand the world of adults. Actually, he... was also innocent...
"Little Xuyan, don't cry anymore. Mummy knows everything. Mummy will bring you over to eat lunch. Mummy will buy you anything that you want to eat..."
"Okay." Little Xuyan wiped her tears clean and hugged her Mummy tight as she cutely said, "Mummy, I don't want anyone else. I only want to be together with Mummy, and that would be fine."
"Okay, Mummy will be together with you always."
...
She recuperated for another two weeks, then went back to school to teach. She brought Little Xu Yan along with her. When she went to class, Little Xu Yan would sit down on her office desk. Her obedient behavior would make all of the teachers in the staff room pity her.
The school's anniversary celebrations came one night. The head of department happily said, "Let's all go to the bar to drink. Everyone can drink and play all they want; the principal is treating us."
"Wow." Everyone cheered.
"Xiaofu, let's go together then."
Xia Xiaofu organized her textbooks and lowered her gaze down to look at Little Xu Yan. She shook her head as she smiled and said, "I cannot go. I must go home to take care of my child."
"Xiaofu, this is a mistake. Girls nowadays cannot spend all of their time cooped up at home. You also have to bring Little Xuyan out to have a look at the world outside. There are facilities in the bar for children to play, and we can help you take care of her. What are you afraid of? Let's go; let's go together."
"This..." Xia Xiaofu hesitated.
As she was thinking, a teacher picked Little Xuyan up and said, "Little Xuyan... let's go... Mummy and all of us aunties and uncles will bring you out to play."
Little Xuyan blinked with her large eyes as she asked, "Where are we going?"
The teacher grazed Little Xuyan's nose gently as she said, "We will find a Daddy for Little Xu Yan okay? Your Mummy cannot be single forever. It is very hard for her to bring you up all by herself."
The people by her side did not know what happened between her and Ou Luoxi. Her mother had passed away, and everyone saw how hard it was for her to bring her child up. They had long discussed looking for someone for her.
Xia Xiaofu pushed the teacher away quickly and said, "What nonsense are you saying in front of the child?"
"Mummy, " At this moment, Little Xuyan had a bright smile on her face as she said, "It is okay. As long as Mummy likes him, I will like him."
Everyone laughed and said, "Little Xuyan is really so smart."
...
There was a small playground at the corner of the bar, and there were already a few small children playing around. Little Xuyan went inside and played together with them happily. She waved her hands at Xia Xiaofu who was outside and said, "Mummy, you can leave now. I would shout for you if something's up."
"Okay." Xia Xiaofu sat down at the circle shaped bar. From this angle, she could see Little Xuyan inside clearly, and she was very assured.
The teacher by her side poured alcohol for Xia Xiaofu and said, "Professor Xia, have a cocktail, okay?"
Xia Xiaofu shook her head quickly and said, "No, I can't. I can't drink alcohol. I get drunk just with one glass. I will drink some fruit juice."
"Professor Xia, there is no fun drinking fruit juice inside a bar. What about this: just drink a little bit of the cocktail. Everyone, let's toast."
At this moment, a service staff member walked over and placed a bottle of fruit juice by the side of Xia Xiaofu's hand as he said, "Miss, this is your fruit juice."
Xia Xiaofu froze and said, "I... have not ordered yet."
The service staff pointed towards the bar on the other end as he said, "Miss, this bottle of juice is what that Sir bought you."
Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze up to look over. A handsome young rich guy sat on the opposite end of the bar. Upon seeing her look over, the rich guy raised his glass up kindly.
"Professor Xia, do you guys know one another?"
Xia Xiaofu was shocked and said, "I do not know him."
Everyone quickly broke out into laughter. They all teased her and said, "Miss Xia is super attractive. She's just sat down, and there is already someone trying to hit on her."
"Miss Xia, that person seems to be rich and handsome. Why not... be friends?"...
Xia Xiaofu curled the corners of her lips up and wanted to say something.
"Young Master Gong Ming, " someone suddenly called out from behind.
Xia Xiaofu froze, and at this moment, she felt someone's gaze look over at her side. She had a whiff of the special scent of that person. It was clean and pleasant smelling.
He must be behind her or by her side.
"Young Master Gong Ming." The head of department stood up and excitedly said, "It is such a coincidence to be meeting you here. Are you here to drink? Why don't you sit down and have a glass with us?"
Xia Xiaofu heard that clear voice ring out in her ears."Sure."
And the empty seat by her side was filled. She could see a beautiful right hand in her peripheral vision. His black suit jacket wrapped the sleeve of a black shirt he wore underneath, and he was clean and neat.
Ah Li took the documents that he was holding in his hands and retreated behind. The head of department came over and personally served a glass of alcohol as he said, "Young Master Gong Ming, please have this."
Ou Luoxi lifted the glass up and took a sip. His gaze stopped on Little Xuyan, who was playing with a rubber ball in the playground for a moment, before he scanned the group, smiled, and said, "I heard that you all were so excited discussing something just now. What were you all talking about?"
"Oh, Young Master Gong Ming, our Professor Xia just sat down here, and the handsome rich man seated opposite us sent a bottle of juice over. We were teasing Teacher Xia about her attractiveness."
"That's right..." Everyone agreed.
Ou Luoxi raised his head up to look at the opposite side of the bar. His gaze went through the neon lights of the bar as he looked at the rich guy. The expression on his face was very light, but the rich guy saw him and he averted his gaze and shrunk his shoulders before turning around, and he did not dare to look towards their direction again.
Ou Luoxi withdrew his gaze. He was nonchalant as he took another sip.
"Young Master Gong Ming, you came here just in time today. We were discussing introducing a boyfriend to Miss Xia. You know many people, and our requirements are also not too much. he has to be handsome, rich, gentle, and also... loyal. Introduce someone to our Professor Xia."
Ou Luoxi laughed and said, "The requirements are really not too much."
"That's right. There are so many people who want to woo our Miss Xia right now, and we have to pick carefully."
Xia Xiaofu felt that her ears were turning red. She stretched her hand out to tuck her hand behind her ear as she unhappily said, "Don't make fun of me anymore."
At that moment, warm breath spewed into her ear."What do you think about me?"
Xia Xiaofu was alarmed, and she turned her gaze over to the side to have a look. She did not know when he'd come closer to her. His handsome face was enlarged before her eyes. There was a pampering smile on the corners of his lips as he gently said, "Handsome, rich, gentle, loyal... I think I can fulfil all of these points. Do you want to reconsider me?"
Xia Xiaofu was at a loss, and she was lost in his bright and romantic gaze.
