"But Mommy, I'm really hungry. What time will Daddy be back? Can you call and ask?"
"This..."
Xia Xiaofu was in a dilemma. She didn't want to be the one initiating the call.
But what's the matter with this man? He said last night that he would take her and her daughter to lunch. It was already 12 o'clock. Not only hasn't he shown up, but he did not even bother sending a text message.
Xia Xiaofu started to get a little worried. Is he... in any trouble?
She took out her mobile phone, then swiped to the familiar number. Sometimes, she felt like such a loser. He used to be so mean to her, and even though they'd reconciled, she should put on an air to make him anxious. But she was such a good-for-nothing and always initiated. Why did she have to be the one chasing him first?
She had given him her whole heart.
As her fair fingers began pressing the keys to make a phone call, her phone suddenly rang with an incoming call.
It was Ah Li.
Xia Xiaofu quickly picked up."Hello..."
...
"Hello, Miss Xia, Young Master has already returned to T City, but halfway through the journey, Young Master's wound split open again, so now he is being bandaged at the hospital..."
"What? In the hospital?" Xia Xiaofu was shocked.
"Yes, Young Master's wound is a little infected. After bandaging, he has to be put on a drip. Young Master was worried about Miss Xia and Young Lady, so he asked me to make a phone call..."
"Which hospital are you in now?"
Ah Li reported an address and then heard the busy tone of ding, ding. Xia Xiaofu hung up immediately.
Xia Xiaofu took Little Xuyan's hand and hurried to the hospital. The two of them arrived at the door of the ward.
Xia Xiaofu wanted to push the door open, but she looked in through the small window on the door and saw Gong Ling in the ward.
"Brother Gong Ming, the doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for two days of observation. You can't run around these two days. Let me peel a pear for you to eat." Gong Ling smiled and fed the small piece of pear in her hand to Ou Luoxi.
Xia Xiaofu's hand on the doorknob dropped, and she turned to walk away.
Little Xuyan followed behind her mommy and asked, "Mommy, why are we not going in to see Daddy?"
Due to the hurried journey, Xia Xiaofu's hair was messed up by the wind. She was still slightly panting and looked a little haggard. She looked down at Little Xuyan. Xia Xiaofu raised the corners of her mouth."Oh, because... someone is visiting your daddy in the ward. Let's not disturb them... We'll come back again when your daddy is free..."
Xia Xiaofu's voice had yet to settle when two strong arms grabbed her soft waist and pulled into an embrace from behind.
"Whoa..." Little Xuyan quickly covers her eyes with two small hands and blushed.
Upon smelling the clean smell from behind, Xia Xiaofu knew that it was Ou Luoxi. She froze."Why are you here?"
Ou Luoxi rubbed her hair with the tip of his nose."My turn to ask you. Since you're here, why did you leave?" he asked with a gentle smile.
Xia Xiaofu was instantly awkward. She wanted to break out of his embrace."I changed my mind about seeing you."
"Don't move. My wound will open again."
After hearing that, Xia Xiaofu really did not dare to move, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. How dare he control her.
Ou Luoxi did not bother explaining even though he knew she was angry. After kissing her face, he let her go. He then bent over and held Little Xuyan in his arms."Little Xuyan, did you miss Daddy?"
Little Xuyan blinked shyly, then nodded her head.
Although the fact that her father saved her left her with adoration and love, due to their past, she had not called him Daddy out loud yet.
Of course, Ou Luoxi knew his daughter well. The guilt he felt for her was as much as his love for her. Hopefully, he would be able to spend the rest of his life with his daughter and this woman by his side. He'd then slowly make up for everything.
"Little Xuyan, then did your mommy miss Daddy? Just now, Mommy said she didn't want to see Daddy. Daddy is sad."
"Mommy lied. Mommy even told me not to eat in school. She said Daddy would pick us up for a big meal... On the way to the hospital, Mommy was also crying secretly..."
"Little Xuyan!" Xia Xiaofu's little face flushed red, and she gave Little Xuyan a look to get her to stop talking.
How could she not be angry? She worked so hard to raise her daughter. Now that she had a daddy, she was selling Mommy out.
Little Xuyan playfully stuck out her pink tongue, wrapped her arms around the neck of Ou Luoxi, and hid away. Ou Luoxi kissed Little Xuyan's face tenderly and held Xia Xiaofu's hand.
He carried Little Xuyan in one hand, held Xia Xiaofu with the other hand, and led them to the ward.
Xia Xiaofu was still moody and felt that she was unable to back down with good grace."I'm going back..."
"You're really going back?" Ou Luoxi lovingly pinched her delicate hand and then raised his eyebrows."I think of you all the time, but you don't think of me?"
Xia Xiaofu suddenly caved in to his tender voice and forgot to struggle.
"Be good; stay with me."
Xia Xiaofu's delicate little face quickly turned red. She knew that she was done for. She and Ou Luoxi had known each other for more than seven years, yet she was still so easily swayed by his beautiful appearance and his flowery speech.
Why was she such a loser?
She despised herself in her heart, yet at the same time, she discreetly looked at the man beside her with a red face. He was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, with soft bangs resting on his forehead. His current vibe gave off a pure and warm air like before, which was especially charming.
"Little Xuyan, Mommy will carry you, okay?" She spoke.
Little Xuyan looked at Mommy, then Daddy, and shook her head.
She wanted Daddy to hold her.
...
"It's ok. I'll carry her." Ou Luoxi looked at Xia Xiaofu.
Xia Xiaofu's eyes flickered, then she looked at the wound on his waist and abdomen with hesitation."But... you're injured..."
How could you carry Little Xuyan while injured?
"Heh..." Ou Luoxi instantly chuckled happily. f𝓇𝒆𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝒏oѵ𝙚𝗹 - 🅽🅽novel
Xia Xiaofu wanted to bite off her tongue. He must have known that she was worried for him. Damn, can't she just keep her thoughts in her heart?
Ou Luoxi opened the door of the ward and led her in.
Gong Ling was still in the ward. He placed Little Xuyan beside the bed. Then he got on the bed, and a doctor came in straight after. He poked the needle from the drip at the bed frame into his vein again.
Gong Ling looked at Xia Xiaofu, smiled, and said, "Sister Xia, why did you come and go? Just now, brother Gong Ming saw that you had left and quickly pulled out the drip from his hand to chase after you."
Xia Xiaofu had always been fond of Gong Ling and felt deeply sorry for her. Now she was surprised to hear Gong Ling saying this. Didn't Gong Ling like Ou Luoxi?
Wasn't she jealous?
Xia Xiaofu glanced over at Ou Luoxi on the bed. He didn't look at her. Instead, he looked indifferent and was teasing Little Xuyan and talking to her.
