Chapter 689: Your Blood
Ou Luoxi did not eat anything for the entire day. He vomited bile water for a long time, and at this moment, the sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air. “Luoxi, I am coming in, okay?” Xia Xiaofu walked into the room.
Ou Luoxi quickly stopped vomiting, and he took the toothbrush to brush his teeth before splashing some cold water on his face, and he switched off the tap as he walked out of the bathroom.
“Xiaofu.”
“Luoxi, you took a shower?” Xia Xiaofu ran up to him and held his elbow lovingly.
“Yeah.” Ou Luoxi nodded his head, and he looked over to the side of the door and said, “Are you done eating? I will go and wash the dishes.”
Ou Luoxi headed towards the door.
“Ay, Luoxi!” Xia Xiaofu quickly went on her tiptoes to hug his neck and said, “I did the dishes already.”
“Leave them to me next time.” Ou Luoxi looked at this small egg-shaped face in front of him, and he stretched his hands out to hug her soft, thin waist.
Xia Xiaofu had a blissful and sweet smile. She nudged herself against his body and was smelling the fresh and healthy scent of body wash on his body.
After taking a shower, he wore a casual white shirt, and there were a few buttons undone on the collar of his shirt. His short, dark hair was dripping with water droplets. His handsome face was fair and smooth like jade, especially with the corners of his lips being injured, it made his entire being look extra attractive, and as she looked at him, her face and ears turned red.
“Luoxi,” She used both of her small hands to cup his face as she said, “Why do you look so beautiful? No wonder there are so many women who like you, and even men like you.”
Ou Luoxi heard what she said and froze.
Xia Xiaofu fluttered her long eyelashes before slowly kissing his thin lips.
After kissing for a few moments, she felt the boy’s body become stiff, and he did not take the initiative to cooperate with her. She opened her eyes to look at him. She noted that he did not close his eyes, and his face was very pale.
“Luoxi, what’s wrong with you?”
“I am fine...” Ou Luoxi tugged on the corners of his lips.
“Then do you...not like me kissing you? You are not even willing to open your mouth.” Xia Xiaofu felt wronged as she spoke.
“No that’s not the case.” Ou Luoxi bent over and took the initiative to kiss her.
Xia Xiaofu hugged his neck quickly, and both of them kissed one another.
Ou Luoxi firmly embraced this soft and fragrant figure in his arms, and his mouth was full of her fragrance. He was greedy as he leaned on her, and it was only when he was with her that he could forget about all of those shameful things.
For the rest of his life, he was not willing to remember those things anymore.
Xia Xiaofu’s face was red, and she bit his ear and coyly said, “Luoxi, did you miss me or not? We...have not done it for so long...”
Ou Luoxi’s breathing became hurried, and it seemed like it was so long ago. It has been almost one month now.
He hugged her waist and half pushed and hugged her to place her onto the sofa. Both of them were against one together. Xia Xiaofu was daring as she went to undo his pants. Ou Luoxi stretched both his hands into her clothes. action
The heat in the room was getting hotter and hotter, but suddenly, they heard someone knocking.
Ou Luoxi and Xia Xiaofu both froze instantly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXia Xiaofu’s mother’s voice rang out, “Xiaofu, are you there? It is already so late at night. Why are you still not coming back to the room to sleep?”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother’s interruption made both of them lose their interest. Ou Luoxi let go of her, and he was lazy as he lay back on the sofa. Xia Xiaofu tumbled onto the sofa and said, “Okay, Mum. I will go back soon.”
“Okay.” Xia Xiaofu’s mother left.
Xia Xiaofu sat up. She was apologetic as she looked at Ou Luoxi, “Luoxi, I am sorry...”
“It is fine.” Ou Luoxi stretched his hand out to ruffle her soft hair as he gently said, “Go back to your room to sleep quickly. Don’t make Aunty worry.”
“Okay, Luoxi, good night.” Xia Xiaofu kissed his cheek before standing up to leave.
She closed the door, and Ou Luoxi was in a daze on the sofa for a while before he slowly collapsed onto the sofa and closed his eyes to sleep.
He was so exhausted.
He’d never felt so tired before...
...
Xia Xiaofu was done handling the matters regarding the Xia Corporation. The Xia Corporation had been built up by her father’s blood and sweat. She could not allow the Xia Corporation to end up in others’ hands for free.
Ou Luoxi was still staying in the villa as usual, and he made some soup to send it upstairs for Xia Bo to drink.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother was not inside the room, Ou Luoxi walked into the room, and he looked towards the bed. The bed was empty, and Xia Bo was not on it.
Ou Luoxi found it weird, so he walked inside.
There was no trace of Xia Bo in the room. Ou Luoxi wanted to turn around to look for him, but at this moment, he heard some soft sounds, and it was very unusual.
He followed the source of the sound and walked over. There was someone hiding in the corner of the bathroom; it was Xia Bo.
At this moment, Xia Bo’s entire body was trembling, and he took a packet of powder in his hands as he used his nose to sniff the powder.
Ou Luoxi looked over and his expressions changed drastically. “Uncle, what is this?”
He stretched his hand out to take that packet of powder.
He’d grown up in the depths of the mountain since a young age, and he’d tasted numerous wild plants before. There were some plants that he just had to smell to know what they were. This bag of powder was...psychoactive. It was a drug!
Xia Bo was in an extreme daze. When he saw Ou Luoxi taking his powder away, he immediately stood up with a sinister expression on his face and flew towards Ou Luoxi as he shouted, “Give it to me. Give it to me!”
Ou Luoxi would never give it back to him; this kind of drug could cause death.
“Uncle, you cannot sniff this. How did you get into this?” Ou Luoxi took a few steps back, and Xia Bo assaulted Ou Luoxi with everything he had. Ou Luoxi did not retaliate, afraid that he would hurt Xia Bo, and both of them retreated back into the room. Ou Luoxi had two wounds on his face, and they were bleeding.
At this moment, Xia Xiaofu ran in upon hearing the commotion and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xia Bo lost control immediately and shouted out loudly, “He snatched my thing. He is a thief!”
The anger in Xia Xiaofu’s mother chest was burning rapidly. She dashed forward immediately, and she raised her hand up to give Ou Luoxi a slap.
Slap! The sound of the slap reverberated throughout the entire room. Ou Luoxi was slapped harshly, and there were light blood stains on the corners of his lips.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother stretched her trembling fingers out. She pointed at the thing that Ou Luoxi was hiding behind his back as she asked, “What did you snatch? Take it out quickly. Do you have any conscience at all? Your Uncle is already crazy and in a daze, and you are still snatching his things and hitting him? Our Xiaofu likes you so much, but it turns out that you are a greedy thief.”
As she spoke, Xia Xiaofu’s mother pulled Ou Luoxi’s clothes and said, “Take the thing out. You were caught red handed today, I will give Xiaofu a call later, and tell her what kind of person you are!”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother opened Ou Luoxi’s right hand, and the contents of the packet of powder split onto the floor.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother’s voice came to a halt. It was obvious that she did not expect Ou Luoxi to be hiding a bag of powder. She was in a blur as she looked at the white powder and stuttered, “What...is this?”
“Ah, my thing!” Xia Bo acted crazy as he dashed forward. He was crawling on the floor like a dog, and he stretched his tongue out to lick the white powder.
No matter how old Xia Xiaofu’s mother was, she could also guess what this was. It was just as if she’d been electrocuted, and she stepped back slowly as she said, “This...is a drug? Where did the drugs come from? Oh my god!”
Half of the contents were spilled, and Xia Bo could only lick the powder. The amount was not nearly enough. Xia Bo’s body was trembling on the floor as he rolled his eyes. He scratched his face with both hands, and he was in much pain as he moaned, “I want my powder! I want my powder... This will not do. I am going to die...”
Ou Luoxi stooped down slowly, and he stretched his hand out to help Xia Bo up, “I will take you over to the hospital.”
“Don’t!” Xia Xiaofu’s mother shouted out loud, and she stopped him immediately. “You cannot take him to the hospital. He would be gone once he steps foot in the hospital. He would be sent over to the drug rehabilitation centre.”
Ou Luoxi paused for a moment. Suddenly, Xia Bo had a whiff of the leftover powder on his hand, and he immediately went over to lick Ou Luoxi’s fingers.
When he touched Ou Luoxi’s fingers, Xia Bo opened his mouth and harshly bit down on Ou Luoxi’s hand.
Red blood flowed out immediately. Xia Bo was just like a vampire. He was greedy as he quickly sucked on the blood that was flowing on Ou Luoxi’s hand. The bloodstains flowed down from the corners of his lips before dripping down onto the floor.
The scene was extremely frightening.
Ou Luoxi did not move. He allowed Xia Bo to suck his blood, and the soft fringe covering his forehead covered his pure and sparkling eyes. His handsome features were slightly dropped down, and those two blood stains together with that fresh slap mark, made him look extremely dishevelled.
Xai Bo sucked enough fresh blood and let go of his wrist. He lay back down on the floor, and this time, he was not in pain anymore, but he felt extremely comfortable as he hummed out loud before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Ou Luoxi stood up and carried Xia Bo back onto the large bed before putting the blankets on him.
After that, he walked into the bathroom to take a towel. He stooped down and cleaned the fresh blood stains on the floor.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother was in shock as she watched what was happening. She lowered her gaze down towards Ou Luoxi, who was cleaning the floor, and she broke the silence. “Your blood...”
“I grew up eating wild herbs. They said that a hundred different forms of poison are unable to hurt me. My blood is probably a quencher of Uncle’s addiction.” As he spoke, Ou Luoxi added another line, “I did not know about this beforehand.”
He threw the towel that was stained with blood into the rubbish bin before standing up to head out the door.
He walked over to the side of the door, and Xia Xiaofu’s mother, who was standing behind him, said, “Wait for a minute.”
Ou Luoxi stopped in his tracks.
“Today, I...hit you. I misunderstood you. I am sorry.”
Ou Luoxi lowered his gaze before softly saying, “It’s fine. It doesn’t hurt.”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother looked at his back profile before stuttering, “Your Uncle really cannot be sent to the hospital. His body would not be able to take it. There were many things wrong in the Xia family lately, and Xiaofu is also busy with matters regarding the Xia Corporation.”
He could not be sent into the hospital, but he also could not continue doing drugs. What Xia Xiaofu’s mother meant was very obvious.
“Luo Xi, maybe the situation at hand is not as bad we are thinking it is. Your blood might be the antidote here. After your Uncle takes it for two or three days, he may be able to quit, and he might get well.”
Ou Luoxi curled the corners of his lips up slowly as he said, “Okay.”
He headed out the door.
...
Xia Xiaofu met with huge trouble in the company. Those shareholders noticed that she was very young, and she was unfamiliar with the matters in the company, so they took every chance to bully her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut those shareholders only removed Xia Bo from his role as Director, and the shares that Xia Bo owned were already all in Xia Xiaofu’s hands. Xia Xiaofu was the number one shareholder in the Xia Corporation, and following the company tradition, she should be holding the role of temporary Director. After three months, they would announce a shareholder’s meeting to vote and decide if she is really able to take on the role of Director.
Xia Xiaofu was not interested in being Director, but in this situation where she was bullied by everyone, if she did not put on a hard front, everyone would take the opportunity to step on her.
So she used all of her abilities to fight for the position of temporary Director.
In the meeting room, everyone was giving her cold looks. No one agreed to her decisions, and someone laughed and said, “What about this: let’s raise our hands right now to decide if Miss Xia would be able to take on the position of temporary director?”
“You!” Xia Xiaofu was furious, and if they did it based on raising hands, then she would definitely lose without a doubt.
She was all alone in this company without anyone supporting her, and there was no one who she could unite and rely on.
Bang! The large doors of the meeting room were pushed open, and someone walked in.
Xia Xiaofu raised her head up to look over. It was Ou Ze.
Why was he here?
The other shareholders noticed Ou Ze arriving, and they all stood up, nodded their heads, and bent their waists down to say, “President Ou, why do you have time today to come down to our Xia Corporation?”
Xia Xiaofu had a cold expression on her face as she looked at these devilish people. The Ou Corporation had a share in all the companies in T City, and it was no wonder that these people saw Ou Ze and respected him so much.
Ou Ze looked over at Xia Xiaofu, smiled, and said. “Xiaofu, it has been such a long time since we last met.”
Xia Xiaofu raised her eyebrows and said, “Why are you here? This is the meeting room of our Xia Corporation.”
Fu Gui helped Ou Ze to pull out the first chair that was by Xia Xiaofu’s right hand. Ou Ze was full of confidence as he sat down and said, “Oh, Xiaofu, you probably did not know something. I am a shareholder of Xia Corporation.”
“What?” Xia Xiaofu was taken aback. It was obvious that she did not know about such matters within the company.
Ou Ze had a look at the other shareholders and said, “Xiaofu, are you trying to get the position of temporary director? And the people here are objecting? What about this: I support you.”
Xia Xiaofu was not elated at all. Would Ou Ze be so kind?
A businessman who was powerful and cruel like him, he was all out for profit.
The other shareholders looked at Ou Ze’s gaze and all nodded their heads. They said, “Okay, since President Ou has said so, then we will agree to Miss Xia becoming our temporary Director.”
“But, in the next three months, Miss Xia has to show some results to make us develop a different opinion of her. If not, during the shareholder’s meeting in three months, Miss Xia would be back in her original position.”
“That’s right. Director Xia, you have to thank President Ou this time. Otherwise it would not be possible for you to have this chance. You have to thank President Ou privately later.”
...
Everyone’s gazes slowly became implicative.
She was originally engaged to Ou Ze, and Ou Ze was defending her in front of everyone. It was funny if these people did not think of them like that.
After the meeting ended, everyone left. Xia Xiaofu looked Ou Ze in the eye and said, “Ou Ze, what are you trying to do?”
Ou Ze shrugged his shoulders innocently and said, “I am purely trying out to help you, Xiaofu. Don’t be nervous. I only fought for a chance for you. Over the next three months, you still have to work hard.”
“It would be best if this is the case.” Xia Xiaofu took the documents before leaving, and her high heels clicked on the ground as she walked away.
She just walked out of the meeting room, and she lowered her gaze down to have a look at her watch. It was already five in the evening. She took her phone out and wanted to give Ou Luoxi a call.
“Director Xia.” Someone rushed over in a hurry and handed a huge stack of documents to her as he said, “These are the urgent documents that you have to go through today.”
“So many?” Xia Xiaofu was dumbfounded. Even if she went through them till tomorrow morning, she would be unable to finish them.
“Director Xia, these are only the documents. There are many projects that are going on in the company that need to be handed over to you. You just came on board, and there are many aspects that you do not understand. You have to learn them slowly, and during this period of time, you might be unable to go back home. In the past, previous Director Xia would stay in the Xia Corporation hotel when he was busy, and I believe that Director Xia would be able to do it.”
In the past, was her father working so hard? Okay then. Xia Xiaofu took the documents. She believed in herself, and she also could do it!
Ou Ze stood inside the meeting room to look at Xia Xiaofu, who was standing outside the door, and there was a sinister smile on the corners of his lips.
