My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 720: I Would Not Let You Succeed

The service staff served delicious dishes to the table, and Ou Luoxi asked, “Director Chen, do you want a drink?”

Chen Jingyu shook his head and said, “I do not drink alcohol.”

Chen Jingyu was humble as he turned his head around to look at Xia Xiaofu, before he asked her softly, “Xiaofu, do you want to have some hot drinks? Or do you want plain water?”

“Plain water then.”

Chen Jingyu took the tea pot up and poured a glass of hot water into Xia Xiaofu’s cup.

Gong Ling noticed the both of them behaving like this, and she smiled and said, “Older Sister Xia, Director Chen is really so attentive towards you. Are you dating?”

Xia Xiaofu’s heart leaped. She did not know how to answer this question. She took a sip of water before lowering her gaze down, not saying anything.

Chen Jingyu laughed. “Haha!” He attempted to break the awkward atmosphere in the room. “Miss Gong Ling, you are asking Xiaofu so directly, so she would be shy. How are the two of you doing? I have long heard that Young Master Gong Ming is preparing to get married to Miss Gong Ling soon.”

The wedding was happening soon?

Xia Xiaofu’s long eyelashes fluttered for a moment, and her small hand that was holding the glass could not help but tighten. This time, he’s returned together with Gong Ling. She knew that their wedding was coming up soon.

It was good that way. Gong Ling matched him very well.

Gong Ling heard what he said and immediately had a shy and sweet smile on her face as she secretly looked at Ou Luoxi, who was seated beside her.

Ou Luoxi did not have much of an expression on his face. He ordered a small bottle of hard liquor, opened the bottle cap, and raised his head up as he poured himself a small cup and downed it.

He put the glass down, and he raised his gaze up to look opposite him. Little Xuyan was looking at him with her large, moist eyes.

Xia Xiaofu naturally noticed that ever since Ou Luoxi appeared, Little Xuyan’s gaze did not leave him for a single moment. She was curious, happy, and expectant as she looked at Ou Luoxi.

Upon seeing Ou Luoxi look at her, Little Xuyan stretched her small hands out in the air immediately as she danced around, and she wanted to climb over to where Ou Luoxi was.

“Little Xuyan, what do you want to eat? There are so many delicious foods here, look over here quickly!” Xia Xiaofu worked hard to attract Little Xu Yan’s attention.

Gong Ling was also attracted to such a beautiful doll like Little Xuyan, and she said, “Older Sister Xia, she seems to want to come over here. Why don’t you let me carry her for a while?”

“This…” Xia Xiaofu hesitated immediately.

Little Xuyan, who was by her side, seemed to understand what they meant. She used both her hands and feet to climb down from the chair before she ran towards the opposite side. After running for two steps, she thought of something, and turned around to pull Xia Xiaofu’s hand.

Little Xuyan wanted to sit down by Ou Luoxi’s side, but she also wanted Mummy to be together with her as she sat down by Ou Luoxi’s side.

At this moment, both Xia Xiaofu and Gong Ling were awkward together.

The atmosphere around the dining table became awkward quickly. It was not convenient for Chen Jingyu to speak. Ou Luoxi did not say anything also. At last Gong Ling stood up graciously and said, “Older Sister Xia, let’s change places then.”

Xia Xiaofu wanted to reject her, but Little Xuyan was already in high spirits as she ran over to Ou Luoxi’s side. The service staff added another chair. She did not have any choice. Xia Xiaofu carried Little Xuyan as they sat over there.

Ou Luoxi turned his gaze over to the side as he looked at Little Xuyan, who was beside him, and Little Xuyan was smiling at him with her tiny lips.

His cold features became a little gentle. He took his chopsticks up, and he took a small soft piece of rice cake and placed it in Little Xuyan’s bowl.

Little Xuyan was very happy, and she took her small spoon immediately to take a small bite.

“Little…” Xia Xiaofu wanted to stop her because Little Xuyan did not digest food like rice cakes well, and also she did not like to eat them normally, but Xia Xiaofu noticed that she was eating them very happily now and became silent. Little Xuyan really liked Ou Luoxi very very much.

Xia Xiaofu’s eyes were a little wet. She looked somewhere before she kept all of her tears back. There was a little bit of cream from the rice cakes on the corners of Little Xuyan’s lips, and she looked around for tissues.

At this moment, someone handed a piece of tissue over, and she stretched her hand out to receive it, “Thank you.”

The person who handed the tissue over was Ou Luoxi. Her gaze crashed into his so suddenly.

Xia Xiaofu averted her gaze hurriedly, and she lowered her head down to wipe the corners of Little Xuyan’s lips. She was done wiping her lips, and she took the small milk bottle out of her bag and said, “Little Xuyan, Mummy will make some milk for you, okay?”

Little Xu Yan nodded her head.

Xia Xiaofu stood up and left.

Ou Luoxi poured another glass of alcohol for himself before he lay his handsome back in the seat. He raised his head up to drink, and he thought about how her almond-shaped eyes were wet and bright as she looked at him just now.

Ou Luoxi looked at her for a moment before he averted his gaze. He lowered his gaze down to look at Little Xuyan by his side. Little Xuyan was dressed in matching clothing with her Mummy, and her supple smooth skin on her face made others want to bite her.

They were really mother and daughter.

…

This meal ended with an awkward atmosphere in the air. Ou Luoxi and Gong Ling left together, and Xia Xiaofu let out a breath of relief.

“Xiaofu, where else do you want to go to shop?” Chen Jingyu asked her.

“After this, I want to buy some clothes for Little Xuyan.” As she spoke, Xia Xiaofu had a glance at the direction of the washroom as she said, “Sir, help me take care of Little Xu Yan for a second. I have to go to the washroom.”

“Okay.” Chen Jingyu nodded his head.

Xia Xiaofu handed Little Xuyan over to Chen Jingyu before she walked towards the washroom.

She walked over to the ladies room. She placed her hand on the door handle and wanted to open the door, but at this moment, a hand stretched out suddenly to pin her slim wrists down, and her entire being was tugged into an opposite room.

Xia Xiaofu was extremely shocked, and she was just about to shout, but the person covered her mouth before she was pushed against the wall.

After she had a clear look at the person, Xia Xiaofu’s clear defined eyes widened quickly. It was Ou Luoxi.

Ou Luoxi let go of her mouth and stared at her without saying a single word.

Xia Xiaofu did not know why he left but came back again. He’d even brought her into this room. She instinctively retreated before saying, “You… Why did you come back? Is there something that you are looking for me for?”

Upon hearing what she said, Ou Luoxi curled the corners of his lips up into a mocking smile.

Xia Xiaofu was a little uncomfortable. She lowered her long eyelashes as she said, “I heard that in the past half year…you’ve been living very well. Miss Gong Ling…is even more beautiful than she was in the past. You two must be very blissful with one another. I will wish you two well here…”

She had yet to complete her words when a black shadow came down on her. The man in the front blocked her mouth while lowering his gaze.

Xia Xiaofu was shocked, and she struggled immediately. “What are you doing? I don’t want to…woo!”

…

Xia Xiaofu was in the washroom for an abnormal period of time. Chen Jingyu carried Little Xuyan to the corridor of the washroom.

At this moment, the room opposite the toilet opened up. Ou Luoxi walked out, and as he walked, he latched the metal belt on his trousers.

Both men’s gazes collided with one another like that. Chen Jingyu had a glance at Ou Luoxi, whose clothes were messy and untidy, before he looked over at the room at the back, and his normally warm expression turned cold.

Ou Luoxi’s exquisite features had a laziness and satisfaction after being reckless. He stood up straight. The men’s gazes no longer had courtesy and politeness. They were both sparkling with a sharp glow. He curled his lips up, smiled, and said, “Director Chen, are you here to look for Xia Xiaofu? Could you find her?”

Chen Jingyu pursed his thin lips together. His good family background and education made him seem extra gentlemanly as he said, “Young Master Gong Ming, forcing a woman is not something to be proud of. Do you think that it is something to boast about?”

“Hah, Director Chen, how do you know that I am forcing her? We might have both been willing.”

Chen Jingyu placed one hand into his pocket as he said, “Young Master Gong Ming, I have heard of what happened between you and Xiaofu. I know what happened. How do you think I compare to you?”

Ou Luoxi did not say anything.

Although he was already Young Master Gong Ming, Chen Jingyu came from a political family. No matter how successful he was, the two of them were not on the same level. Chen Jingyu represented the upper class society, and he had the blood of the most elite and mighty people.

“Young Master Gong Ming, to be honest, I had interacted with Xiaofu for a period of time, and after that, Xiaofu chose you. We also know what you gave up for Xiaofu, but you do not seem to know what Xiao Fu gave up. Let’s say it this way: if I were you, Xiao Fu would not have experienced such troubles and pain.”

Chen Jingyu worded it extremely politely. Ou Luoxi understood what he was trying to get across. What he wanted to say was that if Xia Xiaofu had chosen him two years ago, with his identity, power, and family background, even 10 Ou Ze’s would not dare to attack Xia Xiaofu and the Xia family.

Ou Luoxi’s face turned cold.

“Young Master Gong Ming, those times have already passed. What is the point of blaming the mistakes on others now? If you do not let the person go, it means that you are also not forgiving yourself, and you are hating because of love. You will only ruin others and yourself.”
