Chapter 749: Xiaofu, I’ve Been Waiting For You

Xia Xiaofu was taken aback. “Why did he send me these things?”

“My young master said that Little Xuyan is his daughter after all. He will give her the most superior life. Xia Xiaofu deserves all the credit and hard work for his daughter’s upbringing.”

Xia Xiaofu’s heart began to itch with anger. He still knows that Little Xuyan is his daughter?

Is that all he can do?

Spending money?

…

“Well ok, I’ll take it all. Please thank your young master on my behalf.”

Xia Xiaofu aggravatedly emphasized the words thank you. It would be a waste if she did not take the money he’d sent. In the future, Little Xuyan would have to go to school and study, which would cost a lot of money. He is Little Xuyan’s father. It was with a valid reason that she took the money he gave. She wouldn’t make life difficult for her child and herself.

Ah Li nodded and left.

…

Yet another month passed, and they entered the cold winter. There was no news from Ou Luoxi that month. Xia Xiaofu heard that he had gone abroad for business. He must’ve been very busy after taking over the Green Door.

Since he decided to use money to draw a clear line with her and her daughter, she would not be so thick skinned to go and find him. It would be better if he didn’t show up. She and Little Xuyan were living a quiet and comfortable life.

Although she occasionally thought of him in the dead of night, she’d rather hate him so much that she would jump on him and give him a bite.

Bastard!

One day, Chen Jingyu asked her out for dinner. She took Little Xuyan to a western restaurant.

“Mr. Chen.” Xia Xiaofu sat opposite him with Little Xuyan in her arms.

“What would you like to eat, Xiaofu?” Chen Jingyu handed over the menu tenderly.

Xia Xiaofu looked at the menu and placed her order. After the waiter left, Xia Xiaofu took a look at the surrounding environment and whispered, “How could you ask me to come to such a place, Mr. Chen?”

The environment in the restaurant was serene, and there was even a live pianist. It was a stylish high-end western restaurant. Most of the diners were…couples, and Xia Xiaofu felt a little out of place.

Chen Jingyu smiled warmly. “What’s the matter with this place?” He looked at her with a bright gaze.

His gaze made Xia Xiaofu’s heart thump. He had been with her for half a year, giving her meticulous care. It once crossed her mind that maybe he still had something for her. Whenever she gathered the courage to try to find out, he always diverged with various topics. Someone like him was a gentleman full of elegance and gave her the space she needed when they hung out.

She couldn’t raise the question to someone like this.

But judging from his gaze now, Xia Xiaofu was not sure what he wanted to do.

“Little Xuyan, have some water.” Xia Xiaofu could only look at Little Xuyan and feed her water.

Little Xuyan’s big eyes were sparkling. She had a good upbringing and knew that she shouldn’t play nor speak loudly here. She sat in the chair obediently.

After feeding her water, Xia Xiaofu wanted to grab a tissue to wipe Little Xuyan’s mouth.

Suddenly, a tissue is handed over, and Chen Jingyu warmly said, “Xiaofu, have you considered giving Little Xuyan a complete home?”

Xia Xiaofu was taken aback. He’s brought up the topic after all.

“Xiaofu, some time ago, you said you didn’t think about these things, so I gave you time. Now, half a year has passed. You and Ou Luoxi… I wonder if you could give me a chance?”

“Sir, I…”

“Xiaofu.” Chen Jingyu stood up. He took a box out of his trouser pocket and knelt down in front of Xia Xiaofu. He opened the box, and there was a diamond ring inside. He gently held Xia Xiaofu’s hand and softly said, “I like you. I believe you know that. I also like Little Xuyan. You two are the princesses in my heart. I want to marry the both of you.

“We are already over the age of romance. At this point, I will also not say any romantic words. The promise I can give you is that I will only love you in my life. You and Little Xuyan will never have to endure all the storms outside. We will have a warm home.

“Xiaofu, can I tell you that I’ve been waiting for you all these years? I haven’t married until now because of you.”

Xia Xiaofu was moved. Every woman would want a perfect love story with her very own Prince Charming who falls from the sky and then brings her back to the castle to live happily ever after.

She believed that if she gave a nod, Chen Jingyu would be able to provide her with such a life.

She was 30 years old and had Little Xuyan under her care. In reality, being able to meet a rare gem like Chen Jingyu who had always been infatuated with her and loved her and Little Xuyan, she should’ve been ecstatic and accepted…

However, at that moment, deep down her heart, she was still not quite touched.

There was nothing stirring in her heart.

“Sir, I…”

Xia Xiaofu wanted to talk, but she suddenly saw a black figure in her peripheral vision. A five-star luxury hotel could be seen outside the french windows of the western restaurant. At that instance, the hotel door opened, and a group appeared.

At the front was Ou Luoxi. He wore a black woolen coat. Upon entering, he took off his coat and handed it to Ah Li behind him, revealing the dark blue suit underneath.

From Xia Xiaofu’s point of view, she could see his handsome and perfect figure. His thin lips were pressed together, and his handsome facial features let out a cold and precious aura.

The hotel manager went out and made a hand gesture of please.

Xia Xiaofu looked at him in a daze. Just then, his pupils moved, and he turned to look to the side.

Both their gazed that were separated by french windows abruptly met. Her hand still lay in Chen Jingyu’s hand, and Chen Jingyu was still holding the diamond ring to propose to her.

The good-for-nothing woman quickly took her hand out of Chen Jingyu’s.

Suddenly, the shadow in sight disappeared as Ou Luoxi had already strode into the hotel, and the large group of people also disappeared from sight.

Xia Xiaofu’s face turned a mixture of red and white. He must have seen the situation here, but he left so elegantly. She clenched her hand into a fist and cursed him one million times in her heart.

“Xiaofu…”

“Mr. Chen, I’m sorry.” Xia Xiaofu shook her head apologetically.

A look of disappointment flashed across Chen Jingyu’s face, but soon, he slowly raised up the corner of his lips. “I already guessed this would happen, but I still had a little hope deep down. I thought that since you’re always hurt when you’re with Ou Luoxi, you’d be willing to come to me…”

Xia Xiaofu lowered her long eyelashes and softly said, “I always expected a perfect love story when I was in college, but my love has become so fragmented. It is not perfect at all, but it’s still unforgettable. I have no idea about what is going to happen with him in the future. I will leave everything to fate. But I don’t think I will start a new relationship in the future. So, Mr. Chen, I’m really sorry. Don’t waste time on me anymore, or I will feel guilty for the rest of my life.”

Chen Jingyu nodded and humorously said, “Well, it’s also not my style to be a stalker either, Xiaofu…”

Chen Jingyu looked up and wanted to say more, but his face suddenly changed. “Where is Little Xuyan?”
