My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Chapter 711: Give You One More Chance

Sensing the level of dependence the little woman in his embrace had for him, Ou Luoxi broke out into a smile. He cradled her in one arm while the other hand caressed the back of her head. “Why are you in such a rush?”

“I missed you.” He was wearing a gray round neck T-shirt today. Over it was a dark green cardigan that had a similar long style to the one she was wearing. Xia Xiaofu placed her little face on the cardigan like a street cat that had at long last met its owner.

Ou Luoxi closed his beautiful eyes and kissed her silky hair. “Silly girl,” he said dotingly.

Xia Xiaofu lifted her head and kissed him on his pale pink lips.

Ou Luoxi was caught unaware by how passionate she was. He paused for a second before reaching out to lock her in his embrace. He cradled her small face and deepened the kiss.

There were a lot of passers-by at that moment, and everyone glanced back at the pair kissing under the roadside lamp. They must be head over heels in love, because even from so far away, everyone could taste the sweet romance coming from them.

The special taste of love.

After a while of light kissing, Xia Xiaofu pulled away from his lips, but both their foreheads were still resting against each other extremely intimately. Xia Xiaofu wiped away the saliva on his lips using her index finger, then gently asked, “Did your trip to Japan go well?”

“Yeah, it went well.” Ou Luoxi lightly brushed the tip of his nose against her smooth white skin.

Xia Xiaofu knew that he would not tell her about matters regarding work or whatever was weighing his mind. If he did not mention it, she would not ask, but her heart ached. It was only now that she knew just how much sacrifice he had made for her over these years.

“Have you eaten dinner? Did you drive here to find me the moment you left the airport?”

“That’s right, I have not eaten.”

Indeed, he had come to find her the moment he got off the plane.

“Luoxi, let’s go out to eat. I have not eaten either.”

“Alright, where do you want to go?”

“There are many restaurants along the street in front. Let’s eat udon.”

“Sure.” Ou Luoxi released her, placing one hand on her waist while opening the passenger’s door with the other. He closed the door after she was seated and turned to walk to the driver’s seat.

The silver Spyker drove off towards the street in front.

...

In the noodle restaurant, the pair sat down at a table beside the window.

The lady boss served two large bowls of udon noodles, and the two of them picked up their chopsticks and began eating.

Xia Xiaofu picked up the beef in her bowl and placed it in Ou Luoxi’s. Ou Luoxi knitted his swordlike brows. “Why are you not eating the meat?” he asked.

“I don’t like eating meat. It will make me fat. After giving birth to Little Fifth I have gained quite a lot of weight. It’s time to lose weight.” Xia Xiaofu laughed, her eyes curving in amusement.

Ou Luoxi looked over at her figure, especially the full and lustrous arc of her chest.

He looked down and replied, “it is perfect right now.”

Xia Xiaofu knew where he was looking and instantly felt somewhat bashful. She softly mumbled, “I am breastfeeding now. After Little Fifth has weaned, they will naturally get a little smaller.”

Ou Luoxi transferred his vegetables to her bowl and seriously replied, “It’s alright. I like it either way.”

Xia Xiaofu’s mouth tasted sweet as though she had eaten a layer of honey. She stuffed a small piece of a vegetable that Ou Luoxi had given her into her mouth and chewed it with relish. She secretly smiled and replied, “Okay.”

The two of them finished the meal, and Ou Luoxi took his wallet out as he approached the counter to foot the bill. The lady boss looked at the pair and smiled, “I’ve operated this shop for more than forty years but have yet to see a couple with such good relationship as the two of you. You two should get married soon.”

Ou Luoxi did not speak. Xia Xiaofu glanced at his handsome face and replied, “We already have a daughter.”

“Oh, is that so? Congratulations then,” the lady boss gushed.

The pair exited the restaurant with Ou Luoxi holding Xia Xiaofu’s small hand. Suddenly, Xia Xiaofu asked “Luoxi, Little Fifth is already five months old. Shouldn’t you give her a real name?”

Ou Luoxi was emotionless, he glanced at the car at the roadside and said, “You can name her whatever you’d like.”

Xia Xiaofu pouted her red lips. She hugged Ou Luoxi’s arm pettishly. “Luoxi, how can you be so insincere as a daddy? Shouldn’t you be the one picking Little Fifth’s real name?”

Ou Luoxi looked sideways at her exquisite little face and paused for a moment,then suddenly declared, “Let’s have another child.”

Xia Xiaofu stopped short. “Luoxi, what’s...with you? Little Fifth is still so...young, but you already want...another child? Do you not...like her?”

“No, I like her very much.”

Although Ou Luoxi claimed to like her, Xia Xiaofu could see that his expression was slightly strange. She had a feeling that there was something on his mind that he was not telling her.

“Luoxi, Little Fifth is a very obedient and lovely child. She is already so big, but you have not been there while she was growing up. She actually really likes you and really needs that fatherly love.”

“I know. Get in the car.” Ou Luoxi cut her off, then opened the passenger for her like a gentleman.

Xia Xiaofu knew that he did not want to talk about this topic. For some reason, he seemed to resent talking about Little Fifth. Xia Xiaofu thought that maybe Little Fifth’s birth was too sudden, and he was not ready to be a good Dad.

It’s alright. Maybe what he needs is time. As long as he spends more time with her, he would definitely fall in love with her.

Xia Xiaofu told herself that to comfort her own heart.

Ou Luoxi returned to the driver’s seat. Perhaps the topic they were talking about was a little unhappy, resulting in slight tension between them. “Where shall we go now?” he asked.

Xia Xiaofu bit her lower lip with her fine teeth, then leaned her body over to hug his right arm. She did not speak and directly planted a kiss on his cheek.

Ou Luoxi turned to look at her, but Xia Xiaofu used this chance to extend both her hands to hug his neck. She covered his thin lips completely.

Xia Xiaofu did not withdraw and passionately replied, “Luoxi, can you try to love Little Fifth?”

Little Fifth had suffered so much by her side. When he was gone for a year, only Little Fifth accompanied her. As a mother, she wished she could give all her maternal love to her daughter.

...

After parking the Spyker at the condominium parking lot, Luoxi walked around the car to open the door, only to find a soundly sleeping Xia Xiaofu who was worn out.

By then, her seaweed-like hair was already sprawled across her frail little shoulders. Ou Luoxi reached out to swipe her fringe to the side before patting her small face, gently calling, “Xiaofu, wake up. We’re there.”

Xia Xiaofu opened her eyes groggily, looking at Ou Luoxi, who was bending down. It was raining outside, and small rain droplets were falling on him.

She stretched her tiny hand out of the car saying, “It is raining.”

However, her tiny hand was captured by a warm large palm. “The autumn rain is cold. You might catch a cold.” While glancing at her legs, Ou Luoxi asked “Are you still able to walk? I will carry you.”

At a glance, he was still a handsome man dressed in smart clothes. Apart from the wrinkles on his pants, she could not see anything out of the ordinary. He had always been physically strong.

She reached her tiny hand out towards him. “I want you a piggyback ride.”

“Alright.” Ou Luoxi turned around and bent his legs in order to match her height.

Xia Xiaofu used both her arms and legs to climb up his back like a lazy kitten.

Ou Luoxi closed the door.

The pair walked towards the foyer of the condominium. Ou Luoxi was very quiet on their way there, and Xia Xiaofu was leaning her small face on his broad back. She closed her eyes and called his name. “Luoxi...”

“Hmm?” Ou Luoxi replied.

“Luoxi, I always feel like all this is just a dream. This present happiness came upon too suddenly. I do not dare to close my eyes for fear that you would disappear again.”

Ou Luoxi did not speak, but he revealed a warm smile.

“Luoxi, this past year, I missed you so much. I really really missed you... I dream of you every single night, but when I open my eyes, you are not there...and I cry. I always cry, because apart from crying, I don’t know what else I can do...”

Ou Luoxi’s footsteps slowed. He wanted to look back at Xiaofu.

But Xia Xiaofu swiftly reached out and covered his eyes with her tiny hands. She sniffled through her nose which was completely red at its tip, then looked up at the drizzle from the sky. “No looking,”she said somewhat coquettishly.

Ou Luoxi hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded. “Ok, I won’t look.”

“Luoxi, do you still remember the time back when we’d just started dating? At that time, I liked you so much that I was head over heels, and finally, you accepted me, so I promised you that I would make you happy in the future, that I would ensure that every day you spend is full of laughter, but now I finally realise that I am a big fat liar.

Is she a big fat liar? Ou Luo Xi asked himself in his heart.

No she isn’t.

If he did not have her in his life, he would not even know what happiness is.

It was her who taught him what is happiness.

Although many, many things have happened between them, he has never regretted anything. He did not dare to think how life without her would be like.

Like a pool of dead water?

He still loved the present her.

Ou Luoxi moved his thin lips and muttered in a low voice, “Xia Xiaofu, I will give you one more chance. You can still work hard.”

“Ok.” Xia Xiaofu stopped crying and half-laughed. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. “Thank you for this opportunity you have given me. I will definitely love you twice as much.”

... action

Xia Xiaofu’s mother was already asleep by the time both of them returned to the condominium. Little Fifth was not in her room and was sleeping with Xiaofu’s mother.

The next morning, both of them woke up late. The bright sunlight had already streamed into the room when Xia Xiaofu opened her sleepy eyes. Xia Xiaofu turned around and found herself in Luoxi’s embrace.

This feeling felt extraordinary, just like how she had been picturing in her dreams for years. She was finally back in his embrace.

Xia Xiaofu carefully observed him from behind, tracing his facial features using her index finger. Despite being with him for such a long time, she still greatly admired his perfectly delicate features.

While he was still asleep, the faint eye bags could be seen. Xia Xiaofu knew that on his three-week trip to Japan, he was definitely blamed and berated by Fourth Uncle.

Did he manage to smooth things out? Was he now in an awkward position? What will happen to Ou Ze? Even if he did not mention anything with regards to these questions, Xia Xiaofu understood everything.

Xia Xiaofu looked at the white shirt he was wearing. Regardless of whether they were fooling around in bed or sleeping, he did not remove his shirt. Xia Xiaofu knew that there were definitely scars on his torso.

Once riddled with thousands of bloody wounds, what must his chest look like under the shirt?

Xia Xiaofu stealthily reached a tiny hand out and lifted his shirt up.

With one glance, her hot tears instantly flowed.

The wounds on his body were fully healed, but patches of scars were left behind on his skin. Some scars had grown a new layer of white skin, while others were already black and dull. It was terrifying and heartbreaking at first sight.

No wonder he refused to let her see his torso.

Xia Xiaofu sat up in bed and hurriedly ran into the bathroom barefoot. She locked the bathroom door and slid down the wall, collapsing to the ground. With her face in her two hands, she cried uncontrollably.

She was choking with sobs.

She had brought him such harm.
