Chapter 707: There Is Only One Person In Your Heart

Ou Luoxi’s face was void of expression. “Big Brother, satisfactory or not, shouldn’t I be asking you this question?” he replied with a faint smirk.

“You...” Ou Ze was immediately rendered speechless. Ou Luo Xi was reminding him that he was Xia Xiaofu’s first lover.

“Hah!” Ou Ze humorlessly laughed. “Luoxi, have you seen my daughter? Isn’t she cute?”

That radiant and well-defined face of Little Fifth instantly appeared in Ou Luoxi’s mind, and his pupils darkened. “Big Brother, I heard that your daughter’s name is Little Fifth? Is Little Fifth really your daughter?”

“Little Fifth? Tsk, is that what Xiaofu just named her? I’m not concerned. I don’t know. Luoxi you know that my mother and I both like boys, but Xiaofu gave birth to a daughter. Naturally, I did not bother looking at her much. Oh right, Luoxi, from your tone, don’t tell me Xiaofu told you that Little Fifth is your daughter?”

Ou Luoxi’s delicate facial features became grim. He pursed his lips silently.

“Haha, Luoxi, Xia Xiaofu herself clearly knows who the father of the child is. During the time when the Xia family was in trouble, Xiaofu always stayed by my side. Of course I can understand why Xiaofu said that the child is yours. This woman is just a little too practical. Being the nation’s goddess as well as Xia family’s precious daughter, she had always led an extravagant life, hence when she suddenly encountered obstacles in life, she naturally leaned towards the stronger party. When the Xia family was in trouble, she threw herself into my arms, but now that I have met with misfortune while you have suddenly risen in power, of course she would think of seeking connections with a financial backer like you.” Ou Ze lamented, “Sigh, I know I have not treated her well for the past year. Sometimes, I even uncontrollably lash out at her. She has probably utterly given up on me. Otherwise, she would not have applied for a divorce agreement from the court, and she surely has already found another family to turn to.”

“What?” Ou Luo Xi snorted coldly.

“Yours or not, why don’t you just go for a paternity test to find out?” Ou Ze laughed fearlessly for he knew he was right.

Ou Luoxi kept silent, but the large hand that was resting on his knee has been tightly clenched into a fist.

Ou Ze was extremely pleased with himself. He knew that he had deeply hurt Ou Luoxi.

“Young Master.” At this moment, Fu Gui hurriedly ran in and whispered to Ou Ze with a hand held to his ear.

“What?” Ou Ze’s expression changed drastically. He spoke into the phone. “Ou Luoxi, turns out that the purpose of your return is to wreck my munitions smuggling operation. I just received the news that my first delivery channel has been destroyed by the military. If my guess is right, you have joined forces with the military.”

Ou Luoxi cast a cool gaze out of the window. “Isn’t it too late for you to find out now? In a few days, your whole munition supply will be destroyed. Ou Ze, by then, you will be thoroughly screwed.”

These few years, Ou family had already become an empty shell. Ou Ze had invested all their capital and connections into the munitions. The past few years, he had gained violence which he utterly enjoyed, but Ou Luoxi has only been back for two months, and he had already figured out all his smuggling plans.

This was all he had in life.

Ou Ze was panicked out of his senses. Trembling, he pleaded “No, Luoxi, Big Brother was wrong. It was all my fault. I beg you to spare me. Please do not be so ruthless.”

“Big Brother, I am very busy. I gotta hang up now.” Ou Luoxi pretended like he was going to hang up the phone.

“Hey, Luoxi!” Ou Ze exclaimed loudly. “Let’s make a deal. I will make an exchange with you. Don’t hand over the munition trafficking plans that you’ve found to the military. Give them to me, and I will agree to the divorce Xiaofu.”

Ou Luoxi did not react. HHe kept silent but did not hang up the phone.

Ou Ze knew that he stood a chance. He had known for a long time that Xiaofu is vital in Ou Luoxi’s life. Having her within his grasp is as good as holding Ou Luo Xi’s life in hands.

“Luoxi, as long as I do not agree to the divorce with Xia Xiaofu, she will forever be my wife, and you will never be able to openly be with her. Now, let us make a deal. I will set Xia Xiaofu free, and I will give you two my blessing.”

Upon hearing this, Ah Li glanced at Ou Luo Xi in the rearview mirror. Ou Luoxi’s face did not reveal any emotions. He silently hung up.

Ah Li was thinking, what will Young Master’s choice be?

At this moment Ou Luoxi directed his gaze towards Ah Li and asked, “When will the results of the paternity test be ready?”

“Young Master, tonight.”

...

In the hospital ward, Fu Gui worriedly approached and asked Ou Ze, “Young Master, do you think Ou Luoxi will really agree? Right now, his status is different from the past, and he also has Miss Gong Ling, who has such prominent status and infatuation for him, by his side. In comparison, Xia Xiaofu is no competition at all. Besides, after all the things you have done to Ou Luoxi, would he really spare you?” Ou Ze tossed his cell phone to the side, then sneered, “Hmm, that will depend on whether our Mrs, Ou is trying hard enough.”

...

6PM, Ou Family Villa

After what had happened in the morning, the servants now looked at Xia Xiaofu with reverence and respect. “Young Madam, shall we serve dinner now?” Xia Xiaofu continued looking out the window. Shaking her head, she replied, “Not yet.”

Ou Luoxi was not home yet. She wanted to wait for him so that they could have their dinner together.

At this moment, Xia Xiaofu’s mother shouted from upstairs, “Xiaofu, Little Fifth is awake and hungry.”

Xia Xiaofu instantly stood up and ran upstairs.

In the room, Xia Xiaofu carried Little Fifth in her arms while feeding her milk. Xia Xiaofu’s mother stood at the side and gazed at the mother and daughter. “Xiaofu, Mum has some things to talk to you about.”

“What is it, Mum?”

Right at this moment, the front door opened downstairs. Ou Luoxi was home.

“Where is Young Madam?”

“Young Master, she is upstairs. Shall we go and invite her down?” the servant replied respectfully.

Ou Luoxi waved his hand in dismissal and personally went upstairs.

By the entrance of the room, he reached out to open the door. He had only opened it a crack when he heard Xia Xiaofu’s Mother whispering, “Xiaofu, tell Mum the truth. Have you and Ou Luoxi rekindled your old flame?”

Xia Xiaofu was sitting on the bed with her back to him. Ou Luoxi could not see the expression on her face, but he could hear her gentle voice reply, “Mum, why are you asking me this?”

“Xiaofu, in this past year, when you have been married to Ou Ze, it is as if you’ve been a prisoner. Surely it can’t be that you still intend on continuing like this with Ou Ze? Now, Ou Luoxi is back. I used to think that he was not capable of protecting you, but now he has the ability to do so. He can keep you safe. Women need to make plans for themselves. You need a man, and Little Fifth needs a father.”

“Mum, Luoxi has Miss Gong Ling now. I...”

“But I can tell that Ou Luoxi fancies you. What women can rely on in life is a man’s doting. Also, since you know that Ou Luoxi has Miss Gong Ling by his side, all the more reason to try even harder to snatch him back. I believe that as long as you are more proactive, Ou Luoxi will not refuse. If Ou Ze does not agree to the divorce, you can ask Ou Luoxi for help. Xiaofu, even if you do not think about yourself, you should think on Little Fifth’s behalf.”

Hearing this, Ou Luoxi, who had been standing behind the door, took a step back, released the door handle, and turned to go downstairs.

Just then, Ah Li walked in. “Young Master, the results are in.” Ah Li passed the report to Ou Luoxi.

Ou Luo Xi took the report and flipped the pages. The results show that Little Fifth is not related to him by blood.

Ou Luoxi looked over the results twice. The corners of his lips turned up into a self-mocking arc.

“Young Master,” Ah Li softly called out, worried about Ou Luoxi.

Ou Luoxi picked up his jacket and car keys and strode out the front door.

...

Back in the room, Xia Xiaofu quickly stopped her mother short. She frowned unhappily. “Mum, what are you saying? What was that about being more proactive to hold on to Luoxi and asking him to help to talk Ou Ze into the divorce? What kind of person would that make me? What kind of person would that make Luoxi?”

Xia Xiaofu’s mother was at a loss for words, she was born in an esteemed family. Now, she was even personally teaching her daughter to take more initiative to get a man because she had no other choice. With Xia Xiaofu questioning her like that, she naturally felt embarrassed.

“Xiaofu, Mum is doing this for your own good. Don’t you remember how Ou Ze forced you to marry him back then? Little Fifth is Ou Luoxi’s flesh and blood. He has the obligation to...”

“No he does not!” Xiaofu interrupted her mother. “What if he had died at Huangpu Harbor back then? He barely escaped death. He does not owe anyone. I am the one who owes him,” Xiaofu ruefully said.

“Xiaofu...”

“Mum.” Xia Xiaofu took her mother’s hand. “There’s one thing that I have not told you yet. Do you know why I married Ou Ze? It’s because he used you and dad’s life to threaten me. That’s not all. He even made me pick between my parents and Luoxi. I was left with no choice. I thought that with Luoxi’s skills, he would be able to escape danger. It was me. I lured Luoxi to Huangpu harbor to be ambushed by Ou Ze.”

“What?” Xia Xiaofu’s mother fell onto the sofa.

“Mum, so now you understand that I got married to Ou Ze entirely because you and Dad were in his hands. This has nothing to do with Ou Luoxi at all. I gave birth to Little Fifth willingly. If I had not had her back then, I really would have lost all will to live.” Thinking of all those painful memories, Xia Xiaofu’s eyes glistened with tears, and she covered her face with her hands.

...

Words failed Xia Xiaofu’s mother. Never had she thought that Ou Ze would have captured Xia Bo and herself so early on. As for Ou Luoxi’s skills... Xia Xiaofu’s mother cast her eyes downwards in guilt. How was she supposed to tell her daughter that Ou Luoxi had been feeding her dad his own blood at that time? It was because of his excessive loss of blood...

“Mum,” Xia Xiaofu continued. “Regarding Luoxi and I, don’t think about it anymore. Right now, Luoxi is the Young Master of the Green Door. Gong Ling is the beloved daughter of the Green Door. Their relationship involves a lot of benefits and gains. If Luoxi and I were to get together, he would be in danger. I have already harmed him once. I definitely will not do so a second time.

Hearing her resolute tone, Xia Xiaofu’s mother sighed heavily. What kind of doomed love is this?

...

In the pub

At an isolated bar sat two men. One wearing a simple white shirt and black slacks. His facial features were exquisite and well-defined, while the other was clad in a black t-shirt and camouflage pants with strong and handsome features. These two men made all the ladies in the pub turn their heads repeatedly.

Suddenly, Ou Luoxi approached. “Eldest Brother, Second Older Brother.”

Lu Shaoming glanced at him and asked, “Why are you just coming now?”

Ou Luoxi smiled. “Traffic jam on my way here.”

Zhou Yao pointed at the tall stool next to him. “Sit down.”

Ou Luoxi sat down. His arrival had made the view here even more dazzling. The gazes of the women in the pub were stuck to them like glue. They were just short of lunging themselves at the men.

The bartender served a cocktail, and Ou luo Xi took a sip of it. “Luoxi, where are Ou Ze’s munitions trafficking plans? Did you bring them? Give them to me,” Zhou Yao said.

Ou Luoxi paused for two seconds, then looked at Zhou Yao with clear eyes. “Second Older Brother, I did not carry around such an important document with me. I will ask Ah Li to deliver it to you tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Zhou Yao nodded.

Lu Shaoming took a swig of the white wine from the bottle’s narrow opening. “Today, we shall only drink. Let’s not talk about work.” Lu Shaoming’s deep and wise gaze landed on Ou Luoxi’s face. “Luoxi, where is Miss Gong Ling? Isn’t she always clinging to you? Why did she not tag along today?”

“Yeah.” Zhou Yao took a look around them, then placed his arm on Ou Luoxi’s shoulder. “Luoxi, both Eldest Brother and I think that Miss Gong Ling is not a bad catch. Although you are business partners with Fourth Uncle, surely you are aware of Fourth Uncle’s intentions. In my opinion, you should marry Gong Ling and secure your position as the Green Door’s helmsman.”

Ou Luoxi and Fourth Uncle are business partners. Fourth Uncle gave Ou Luo Xi the position of the Young Master of the Green Door in exchange for the munitions trafficking plans he had obtained from Ou Ze. Apart from Fourth Uncle, Ou Luoxi, and Ah Li, nobody else knew of this matter, including Gong Ling.

However, Fourth Uncle was sincerely appreciative of Ou Luoxi and hoped that he would wed Gong Ling and become his successor.

Ou Luoxi downed his cocktail in one go and seriously replied, “I do not like Gong Ling.”

Lu Shaoming and Zhou Yao looked at each other. Both of them were clearly aware that Luoxi still could not forget his former lover.

“Luoxi, why are you so stubborn? There are tens of millions of women on this earth. Why must it only be her? Falling in love with Gong Ling is actually not that difficult. It’s just that you refuse to open your heart to others because there is only one person in your heart.”

Ou Luoxi kept silent. The words he heard outside the room earlier today echoed in his ears. Little Fifth was not his child. She and her mother were both making use of him. Because she wanted to free herself from Ou Ze, because she needed a man, and Little Fifth needed a father. As a result the mother and daughter chose him.

He downed a few cocktails successively. His heart ached with hatred. There was an instant when he felt the urge to pull out the gun on his waist and shoot that woman. How could she be so heartless?

But at the same time, memories of the blissful times they had spent together appeared in his mind. She would tag behind him trying to make him laugh, or she’d lie down beside him as charming as a rose and call him Hubby, and the look on her face when she said that she wanted to bear a child for him.

He felt that his heart was empty but full at the same time, and this feeling was driving him crazy.

Just then, someone behind him said, “It’s raining outside. Not just heavy rain; there’s even thunder. I have to go home and accompany my wife.”

“Isn’t it better to spend the whole night here on such a rainy day?”

“No, I made an agreement with my wife. On rainy days I must go home to keep her company.”

The chatter behind him died down, Ou Luoxi stared at the window blankly. Outside, a young girl’s white handkerchief had been blown away by the wind, and she was chasing after it.

Ou Luoxi’s gaze followed the handkerchief that was dancing in the wind. This made him think of the white veil he had found under her pillow last night. He swallowed once and closed his eyes gently. That white veil was the last source of comfort in his heart.

He stood up. “Eldest brother, Second Older Brother, I have something to take care of. I gotta get a move on.”
