Chapter 700: Whose Child Is This?

How old was the child?

For the entire ride, he did not ask about the child at all, and he did not even look at her a second time. She thought that he would not ask about it anymore, but just now, he asked her about it.

Xia Xiaofu had both feet on the ground and she did not turn her head back as she said, “She is more than three months old now.”

After she was done replying, she brought her mother into the main lounge of the hospital.

Ou Luoxi looked through the window as Xia Xiaofu’s back profile disappeared from his line of sight. He did not retract his gaze, and at this moment, his elbow was hugged by Gong Ling, who was by his side, as she said, “Older Brother Gong Ming, your older sister-in-law has left already. What are you still looking at? We have not seen one another for so long. Why are you not looking at me more? I missed you so much.”

Ou Luoxi did not say anything and took his arm back. He had a warm smile on his face as he said, “I have arranged a place for you to live. I will send you over there right now.”

“I don’t want to, Older Brother Gong Ming. I am so hungry right now. Bring me out for a big meal first.”

Ou Luoxi pressed both of his hands on the steering wheel, made a turn, and drove out smoothly as he said, “I have something going on tonight. I will let Ah Li accompany you to have dinner later.”

“Ah Li, Ah Li! Older Brother Gong Ming, why do you just know how to ask Ah Li to accompany me from day to night? I don’t want that; I want you to accompany me!” Gong Ling pouted her red lips as she acted coy.

“Stop throwing a tantrum.”

Ou Luoxi tried to calm her with a single sentence and did not say anything else.

Gong Ling was furious and raised her eyebrows. Older Brother Gong Ming was always like this. In the past, when he was in Green Door, he never bothered much with her, and he never accompanied her to play around.

The people in Green Door, including her father, all treated her as their precious treasure. Everyone surrounded her and had so many tricks up their sleeves as they tried to make her happy, but Older Brother Gong Ming was different, and she needed to be the one coaxing him.

Gong Ling turned her head around and looked at Ou Luoxi’s beautiful, exquisite face. Her heart was beating erratically, and her small face was still red. Okay then, who asked her to like him?

“Older Brother Gong Ming, you are not allowed to bully me. Otherwise, I will tell my father about it.” Gong Ling hugged Ou Luoxi’s right arm as she nudged her head on it to act cute.

In the hospital, Xia Xiaofu went into the lift together with her mother.

“Xiaofu, why did you have to lie just now? We know Ou Luoxi,” Xia Xiaofu’s mother asked her.

Xia Xiaofu looked her mother in the eye. She had a serious expression on her face as she said, “Mum, Luoxi has a new identity. He is the Young Master of Green Door now, and the Miss Gong Ling from just now is the Young Miss of the Green Door. We are not familiar with the situation with Green Door and don’t go and talk about Luoxi’s past recklessly. Luoxi has only been in Green Door for two to three months. He might not have a steady foundation yet. It is a dangerous place there, and maybe the schemes and skulduggery are not something that we can imagine. Let’s not make trouble for Luoxi.”

Xia Xiaofu’s mother nodded her head and said, “Okay, I will take note the next time, but Xiaofu, could you actually not plan to tell Ou Luoxi about Little Fifth? Little Fifth is his daughter.”

“Mum, it is not that I am not telling him, but the time is not right. Don’t see Luoxi in a good place now and try to get something good out of him, Mum. You have to remember this: as long as Luoxi is in a good place, Little Fifth can be good. As long as both Luoxi and Little Fifth are in a good place, I will also be good.”

“Okay.” Xia Xiaofu’s mother nodded her head.

Little Fifth already had a high fever of forty eight degrees, and her throat was slightly inflamed. She did an allergy test, and the doctor gave Little Fifth an IV drip to cure her fever immediately.

It was the hardest to give such a small baby like Little Fifth an injection. Because they could not find the blood vessels easily, the nurse shaved some of the hair on the back of Little Fifth’s head before pricking her with the the needle.

The needle went in, but Little Fifth’s blood vessels were too tiny, and the nurse did not poke it accurately. She had no other choice but to do it a second time.

Little Fifth never fell sick before. Xia Xiaofu saw Little Fifth in pain, and the tears in her eyes immediately flowed out. Little Fifth was uncomfortable. She widened her eyes and waved her small hands and feet as she broke out into loud sobs. Xia Xiaofu felt extremely bad as she comforted her.

It was thankful that the second needle went in successfully. Xia Xiaofu carried Little Fifth in her embrace and comforted her gently as she said, “Little Fifth, don’t cry anymore. Our Little Fifth is the most obedient one. You are the bravest one. Mummy will hug you. We won’t have needles anymore.”

Because there were too many people taking IV drips in the hospital, there were no more seats in the main lounge. Xia Xiaofu had no other choice but to carry Little Fifth as she sat down on the long bench in the corridor of the hospital. Her mother put a blanket on Little Fifth before she worriedly said, “Xiaofu, the doctor said that Little Fifth has to stay overnight in the hospital for observation just now, but when I went to ask the hospital, there are no more beds. Could we have to spend the night in the corridor tonight? It is extremely damp here, and it is not easy for Little Fifth to get well from her fever.”

“Mum, if there are no beds in the hospital. We also do not have any other choice, and we can only wait till night to wait for the updates.”

“Ay.” Xia Xiaofu’s mother let out a heavy sigh and said, “We do not have any people that we know well in the hospital, and I do not know how much pain Little Fifth is going through right now.”

Xia Xiaofu’s long eyelashes fluttered, and she looked at Little Fifth in her embrace. Her nostrils could not help but turn sour. It was all because she was useless as a Mummy. That was why Little Fifth was going through so much pain now.

“Xiaofu, you did not have dinner yet. I will go out to buy something for you to eat.”

“Mum, I am not hungry.”

“Even if you are not hungry, you have to eat something. Don’t collapse when Little Fifth has yet to recover.”

Xia Xiaofu did not say anything else, and her mother walked off into the distance.

Little Fifth was sleeping quietly in Xia Xiaofu’s embrace, and a while later, she started to fumble around and placed her small cute hand by the side of her lips to suck.

Xia Xiaofu looked at Little Fifth’s small lips. Because she was running a high fever, Little Fifth’s lips were very dry. She was thirsty and wanted to drink water.

Xia Xiaofu noticed a self service water cooler in the corridor. She carried Little Fifth as she stood up, and she took the rack for the IV drip in her hand as she wanted to head forward with much difficulty. When she walked over to the water cooler, she bent over to take a cup. Because she was afraid that she would touch the needle on Little Fifth, her actions were very slow, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

At this moment, a friendly older lady walked over, and she took the cup, poured some warm water inside, handed it over to Xia Xiaofu, and said, “This is for you.”

A smile immediately appeared on her face as she said, “Thank you.”

“Is your daughter running a high fever? Why are you all alone in the hospital? It is so tiring alone. Where is your husband?” The older lady asked with concern.

“My husband…is very busy. He is working overtime, so I came alone. Thank you.” Xia Xiaofu sat back on the long bench in the corridor.

After feeding Little Fifth some water, Little Fifth’s small lips were moist, and she was obedient as she headed into Xia Xiaofu’s embrace. Xia Xiaofu used her fingers to caress Little Fifth’s small face, and she had a lonely expression on her face.

“Xiaofu,” At this moment, her mother held a plastic bag as she walked over and said, “I am back.”

“Mum.” Xia Xiaofu called out to her.

Xia Xiaofu’s mother’s face suddenly turned pale, and she brought her hand to her forehead before shutting her eyes. She fainted and fell directly to the floor. The food in the plastic bag spilled out, and the floor was stained with the overturned food.

“Mum!” Xia Xiaofu shouted out loud, and she stood up frantically to support her mother, but she was anxious in her steps. Her ankle twisted instantly, and she quickly slumped down onto the floor.

Little Fifth was shocked and broke out into loud cries. Xia Xiaofu’s mother was unconscious on one side, and Xia Xiaofu tried hard for a few moments but was still unable to stand up. She had no other choice but to shout out for help, for someone to save her life.

At this moment, she felt extremely hopeless and desperate. It was just as if all of the pressure that was placed on her broke like a tight cable, and her world was left in darkness.

Even though she was unwilling to admit it, the truth was that she was living a horrible life. It was extremely bad, and she’d personally left Ou Luoxi. Right now, she could not be a good Mummy. Little Fifth was suffering together with her. In the past year, her mother was insulted greatly, and her mother is almost fifty years now. How could she be tortured at such an age?

She was not a good daughter, a good Mummy, or a good lover, and despite the fact that she tried very hard to live up to those roles, she still screwed it up.

What was she going to do now?

Xia Xiaofu sat down on the ice-cold tiles on the hospital floor and broke out into loud sobs. She felt that her heart was both empty and in pain. Her frail shoulders could not stop shaking, and she could not find the road ahead anymore.

Xia Xiaofu who was sobbing pitifully and she heard the sound of gentle footsteps. A pair of handmade light beige leather shoes that appeared before her eyes.

She raised her head up to have a look, and an exquisite and mesmerizing face entered her gaze.

Ou Luoxi.

Xia Xiaofu froze, and her vision was all blurry as she looked at him.

Ou Luoxi lowered his gaze down to look at the small woman who was seated down on the floor, and her sparkling tears were all over her entire face. She already cried so hard that her small nostrils were red. At this moment, she was very helpless. She was dishevelled and felt disoriented, and all of her emotions were written in her moist almond-shaped eyes. She also looked extremely pitiful.

He stretched one hand out to her.

Xia Xiaofu saw him looking down at her. He must have taken a shower. He wore a casual black shirt and white casual pants. He did not like to cover his forehead up with his fringe anymore, and his soft fringe was parted casually. It exposed his beautiful, stunning eyes, and his casual attire made him look like a long legged Oppa from a Korean drama — pure and handsome.

In her peripherals, she could see Ah Li bending over to pick her mother up and take her to the emergency room. The doctors rushed over hurriedly, and the nurses swept all of the food into the rubbish bin,before mopping the floor.

But no matter how clean the floor was tidied up, it was unable to wash away the dishevelled feeling that she had.

And he was standing there elegantly. He was so quiet and confident as he looked at her.

Xia Xiaofu avoided his hand before moving her body clumsily. She sat up on her own and carried Little Fifth as she sat back on the long bench.

She did not raise her gaze. Her voice was all hoarse as she said, “Thank you.”

He was once aloof, and his leg had been disabled before. He was once dishevelled. She did not despise him at all, and she only knew how to love him. She loved one person and just wanted it to be so glorious, no matter what happened in the end.

And right now, she understood that at that time, she had the right to be haughty and cool, and she had the pride to love a person.

Right now, what did she have?

She had long lost her pride.

Or maybe, right now, she was unable to afford love anymore.

Ou Luoxi’s hand was frozen in mid air, but he regained his normal expressions very quickly as he put his hand back into his pocket. His other hand was still holding the car keys, and he pursed his thin light-pink lips together as he said, “Whose child is this?”

This question was just like a bolt of lightning that stuck the top of Xia Xiaofu’s head. She was flabbergasted as she lifted her head up and said, “What?”

“Around three months ago… I remember that we did it.” It was just as if she did not remember it, so he had to remind her, and he said, “It was inside the hotel room.”

All of the blood in Xia Xiaofu’s body froze, and her hands and feet were all icy cold.

She suddenly understood why he’d been back for such a long period of time yet did not bring up anything about Little Fifth, and she also understood why during the afternoon inside the car, he did not look at Little Fifth a second time…

All of his coldness was saying something — he thought that Little Fifth was not his!

Xia Xiaofu did not think that this would happen. Inside her heart, she really wanted to laugh very badly. If Little Fifth did not belong to him, who else would she belong to?

In her entire life, she’s only had one man.

Despite the year that he was missing, and no matter how much fear and worry she went through in the past year, she tried all of her best to protect her own innocence. She always thought that she was his, and she did not allow anyone to tarnish her.

Xia Xiaofu was in a daze as she looked into Ou Luoxi’s eyes. She wanted to see something related to the past in his eyes, but there was nothing.

He came over to her only to ask who Little Fifth belonged to.

Xia Xiaofu lowered her head. Her small hand held onto the mustard yellow blanket that was covering Little Fifth’s body until the joints on her hands were all white. She tried her absolute best to not allow her tears to fall.

Ou Luoxi noticed her not say anything, so he raised his eyebrows and said, “You…”

“Young Master,” At this moment, Ah Li walked over and said, “The VIP ward is already prepared.”

“Yes, Mrs. Ou, please come over with me,” said a nurse.

Xia Xiaofu stood up, and her eyes were all red as she looked at Ah Li and asked, “How is my mother doing?”

Ah Li politely nodded his head and said, “Aunty has been too fatigued recently, so that led her to fainting temporarily. We have given her a total body check, and she is fine. Aunty has already been admitted into a ward, and there is a nurse looking after her. They will give her some saline at night, and she can be discharged tomorrow.”

Xia Xiaofu nodded her head and said, “Thank you.”

She carried Little Fifth and followed the nurse into the VIP ward.

…

Inside the hospital ward, Xia Xiaofu gently placed Little Fifth on the bed, and the nurse smiled and said, “Mrs. Ou, I will help you to take care of your child for a while. You can go and have a shower first.”

Xia Xiaofu looked at her own trousers, and she fell on the floor just now. Her trousers were stained with food, and she looked very dishevelled.

The nurse was reminding her kindly.

“Mrs. Ou, this is a clean hospital gown. You can take a shower first before putting this on then. Just bear with it for a night.”

“Okay.” Xia Xiaofu nodded her head, took the clothes, and went into the bathroom.

She went into the bathroom and walked over to stand underneath the shower head. She stretched her hand out to turn on the shower.

When the warm water touched her body, she realized that she had not removed her clothes. She froze for a moment. There was a mirror on the wall, and she looked at the mirror to have a look at her small pale face that did not have any trace of blood in it.

She was trembling as she stretched her small hand out to touch her small face. Her long hair was all wet and stuck to her face. She was listless like a ghost. Was she still that attractive Xia Xiaofu from the past?

No wonder Ou Luoxi did not like her anymore. Even she started to hate herself now.

Xia Xiaofu slid down slowly. She stooped down on the floor and used both of her small hands to cup her small face. Hot tears were streaming down her face through the weaves of her fingers, and she softly sobbed.

…

Little Fifth opened her eyes, and the nurse looked at her cute pink face. She was super cute. The nurse could not help but tease and play with her. At this moment, the door of the hospital ward opened, and Ou Luoxi walked inside.

The nurse quickly stood up straight, and her small face was slightly red as she said, “Young Master Gong Ming.”

Ou Luoxi looked at the tiny figure moving about on the bed and said, “You can go out now.”

“Ok.” The nurse hurriedly ran out and closed the door.

After the ward was quiet, Ou Luoxi lifted his long legs and walked over to the side of the bed. Little Fifth, who was on the bed, realized that someone walked over, and she turned half of her body around. She widened her large dark eyes as she looked at Ou Luoxi.

Her small pink hands and feet were flying in the air as she danced around. She looked at Ou Luoxi and started to blabber. The corners of her lips were curled upwards, and she let out a sweet smile.
