She has not smiled at him like this for a long time. Looking at her radiant smile, he was shocked.
“Luoxi.” Seeing him stunned, Xia Xiaofu called out to him again.
“What’s the matter?” He regained his composure.
“Nothing, I just wanted to say your name.”
Ou Luoxi’s eyes brightened. He strode directly to Xia Xiaofu, then reached out his arms and pulled her firmly into his embrace.
He looked down and kissed her little face. “Don’t want to let me go?” he asked in a low, loving voice
“Mmhmm,” said Xia Xiaofu in a soft voice, her almond eyes shining bright. She slowly extended her little hands and wound them around his delicate waist. “I don’t want to part with you.”
Ou Luoxi laughed lowly and cheerfully. He held her in his arms while moving with small steps, as if they were dancing.
Xia Xiaofu cooperated with his steps and leaned her face near his heart. She could hear his strong heart beating clearly, which was reassuring.
“Luoxi, remember when we’d just met, I invited you to dance at the Lu Family’s wine party, but you were so arrogant that you ignored me. I was so angry that I ran out.”
Ou Luoxi gently raised his handsome eyebrows and hummed.
“At that time, I had such a hard time chasing you. Every time I saw you, I desperately wanted to be with you. I dreamed that one day you would smile at me, you would hold me tight in your arms like now, and I wanted to have a family with you.”
Ou Luoxi’s heart instantly softened. He brushed her silky hair from her face and kissed her hard. “Xia Xiaofu, I will give you another chance. As long as you chase me like before and treat me sincerely, I can forgive you.”
The corner of her lips turned up. “Okay…” She nodded. “Luoxi, you have to work hard too. The man I like must be the strongest one in the world. I don’t want you to be second to anyone. I want to see you standing in the spotlight among ten thousand people.”
“Okay, I will.” Ou Luoxi closed his eyes and gently kissed her red lips.
Xia Xiaofu opened her mouth and let him kiss her.
As he was on a tight schedule, Ou Luoxi only kissed her lightly before letting her go. “I have to go. Wait for me in this room; don’t roam around.”
He worriedly instructed her as she was so obedient today that he was not used to it and felt uneasy.
Xia Xiaofu reached out her fingers to clean away the lipstick on his lips. “Okay, I will wait for you.” She brilliantly smiled.
Ou Luo Xi patted her head, then turned and left.
Until the door closed, Xia Xiaofu stood in the same spot staring in the direction he disappeared in. She recited his name over and over again in her heart. Luoxi, Ou Luoxi…
The name that had been deeply engraved in her soul.
Although he’d brought her to the banquet today, he may not really give her to Mr. Osaka.
His feelings towards her, those feelings that have been distorted by the misunderstandings, his paranoia about love because he was afraid of being hurt again. At this moment, she finally understood all of it.
She had treated him very unfairly. He knew of nothing. He had been kept in the dark by her about everything in the name of love.
Life was indeed so cruel and realistic that she couldn’t be with him after all.
From then on, she hoped that he would no longer be bound by anyone. She wanted him to stand at the peak and look down upon all living beings. She wanted him to return to how he was when she had just met him and have a long, peaceful life.
Now, the only thing she could do is to send him off on his last journey using her own life. She had never done anything for him. Today, she would pave a path full of prosperity for him with her own blood.
It’s just, Little Xuyan…
She really wanted to see Little Xuyan one more time.
…
On the other end of the corridor, Mr Osaka hurried towards his room. Thinking of the beauty waiting for him in the room, he would rather grow wings and fly there sooner.
He ran to the door and put his hand on the handle, wanting to open the door.
Just then: “Mr. Osaka…” Ah Li approached from behind.
“Leader Ah Li, why are you here? If you have something to say, say it later. I must go into my room to see my little beauty first. Help me tell your Young Master that I’ve received his sincerity. I’ll congratulate him in advance at the party later. ”
Mr. Osaka finished speaking and was about to open the door.
But Ah Li’s stopped his hand. “Mr. Osaka.”
It was then that Mr Osaka realized that something was wrong. He looked at Ah Li suspiciously. “Leader Ah Li, what is the meaning of this?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to remind Mr. Osaka that the party is about to start. Please do not delay; come to the banquet hall with me now.”
Mr. Osaka looked at the closed door and asked directly, “Is the person I want inside?”
Ah Li shook his head. “No.”
“What?” Mr, Osaka’s face totally changed. “Didn’t Young Master Gong Ming bring her here?”
“Yes she is here, but not necessarily in Mr. Osaka’s room.”
Mr. Osaka narrowed his eyes immediately. He snorted coldly and then swung his sleeves in anger. “Leader Ah Li means to say that young master Gong Ming brought the beauty for his own enjoyment? I advised young master Gong Ming to think through it clearly. How exactly should he choose between a woman and the entire Green Door? So Young Master Gong Ming was fooling me?”
Ah Li calmly smiled. “Mr. Osaka, the banquet is about to begin. Young Master, Fourth Uncle, and the others are all here. If Mr. Osaka has anything to say, please directly say it to our Young Master.”
Ah Li’s attitude instantly angered Mr. Osaka. “Ok, I’ll go and ask Young Master Gong Ming right now,” Mr. Osaka said, then swiftly walked off.
…
At the banquet, Fourth Uncle, Ou Luo Xi, Ah Gan, and the thirty-six branch leaders were all gathered together. Although everyone was talking and laughing, the atmosphere of the banquet was turbulent.
“Young Master Gong Ming.” Mr. Osaka suddenly stormed into the hall with great indignation. He went directly to Ou Luoxi and asked, “What exactly do you mean by this?”
Holding a glass of red wine in his hand with an indifferent expression on his face, Ou Luoxi took a look at Mr. Osaka, then casually took a sip of red wine. “What’s the matter with you, Mr. Osaka?”
“Hah, Young Master Gong Ming, what’s the point of asking the obvious? Since you are so stubborn and disrespectful, our partnership will end now. In our future paths, if I’m around, you won’t exist, and you’re around, I won’t exist.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall became quiet, and everyone gathered together. In fact, most of the thirty-six branch leaders had already been favouring Ou Luoxi in their hearts. They were all waiting for Mr. Osaka to make a formal statement before officially electing Ou Luoxi as their king.
But what went wrong?
A loyal branch leader immediately whispered in Ou Luoxi’s ear, “Young Master, the overall situation is important. Today’s opportunity cannot be lost. Once lost, it won’t come again!”
Mr. Osaka was squinting at Ou Luoxi arrogantly. He was waiting to see how Ou Luoxi was going to deal with this situation? Humph, no one in this industry had ever dared to offend him, and Ou Luoxi was definitely the first.
