My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

The next afternoon, Xia Xiaofu was preparing dinner at an early hour because Ou Luoxi was coming over.

The atmosphere in the Ou family became weird and nervous. Ou Ze came back in the wee hours of the morning and was extremely fatigued. It seemed that he did not sleep for the entire night. He was in the study as he made a call, and he was probably on the line with Chen Ni. Both mother and son seemed so afraid that they ended up quarrelling with one another.

Xia Xiaofu laughed coldly inside her head. They deserved it. They finally had a day where they too would feel fear.

Luoxi was back, and he was the nightmare of them both. Karma was coming full circle, and the evildoers would have to face the punishment for their crimes.

It was near noon. Ou Luoxi had not come back yet. Xia Xiaofu stood by the side of the kitchen window as she had a look outside. She was very nervous yet very excited as she waited for Ou Luoxi to come.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang out from behind her. Ou Ze came over.

Ou Ze saw her facial expression and had a sinister expression on his face as he said, “Xia Xiaofu, what are you doing? Are you just so excited to see Ou Luoxi again?”

Xia Xiaofu still maintained her posture as she stared outside. She had an awkward smile on her face as she said, “So what if I am?”

Ou Ze quickly took two steps forward and stretched his arms out directly to pull Xia Xiaofu back from the window sill. He pushed her against the wall before using a large arm to pinch her neck as he said, “Evil person. I should have killed you a long time ago!”

Xia Xiaofu had a little trouble breathing, but she was stubborn and glared at Ou Ze as she said, “Ha, haha! Ou Ze, you are worried now. You are finally worried.”

Ou Ze froze before he let go of her neck. He glared at her sparkling, almond-shaped eyes and had a sinister smile on his face as he said, “Xia Xiaofu, what are you thinking? Let me have a guess. After you saw Ou Luoxi come back, did you think that your bitter days were going to end? Did you think that Ou Luoxi would come, save you, and recognize Little Fifth as his before bringing you away? Did you think that your family of three could live together harmoniously and happily just like that? Hah, Xia Xiaofu, let me tell you: don’t dream anymore!”

Ou Ze spoke as he stayed close to Xia Xiaofu’s tender neck. His breath was spewing onto her skin, and it was just as if a venomous snake bit her and made her feel cold.

“Ou Ze, don’t speak nonsense. Luoxi…”

“Xia Xiaofu, do you have dementia?” Ou Ze stretched his hand out to knock Xia Xiaofu’s head as he said, “Have you forgotten what happened one year ago? You made the call and misled Ou Luoxi to go to Huang Pu Port before Ou Luoxi was attacked by my people who were waiting there, and he almost lost his life. Also, although you were always unwilling to admit it, you are already my wife now. You betrayed and cheated him like that and even wanted to take his life away. Another man’s wife, do you think that Ou Luoxi would still want you?”

Xia Xiaofu’s face was pale. She shook her head like a rocker and used both of her small hands to cover her ears as she said, “No, I don’t want to hear it.”

She did not want to listen.

In this year, it was as if she had a huge illness. She forgot that call and also would not admit to being Mrs. Ou. She always thought that she was the one who was set up, and she had been always waiting for Luoxi to come back and save her.

Luoxi would definitely save her, and Luoxi would definitely understand her.

Her hand had been forced.

“Xia Xiaofu, you must have checked Ou Luoxi’s current background, right? This younger brother of mine, he spent two short months in Tokyo and went on a war path towards the North. He has elegantly morphed into Young Master Gong Ming of the Green Door, and there are so many people in awe of him, but the most important point is something that you, Xia Xiaofu, definitely did not uncover. The first Young Master of Green Door has to marry the precious daughter of Fourth Uncle Miss Gong Ling in the future. Based on what I know, this Miss Gong Ling is 20 years old. She is as beautiful as a flower and even fell in love with Ou Luoxi at first sight. You might want to have a look at her first and see if you have anything to compete with her when you are just an old hag!”

Xia Xiaofu’s entire body was shaking. Her hands and feet were icy cold, and she started to hit and kick Ou Ze. She was extremely emotional as she growled, “Ou Ze, you’d better get lost. I don’t want to listen. I am not listening!”

Through his peripherals, Ou Ze’s looked through the kitchen window and saw an extended version of Lincoln park on the lawn. There was a sinister smile on the corners of his lips before he pinned Xia Xiaofu’s soft waist as he took her into his embrace before bending his body down to kiss her tender neck.

Xia Xiaofu struggled furiously, but Ou Ze used a very large amount of force, and she was unable to break away. Her neck felt so much pain. Ou Ze sucked and bit on her tender neck to leave a mark on her collarbones before going downstairs.

Xia Xiaofu was forced to raise her head up. She looked at the white ceiling light in the kitchen, and her eyes were moist. She did not know how many more days she had to bear these insults for.

Little Fifth was growing up slowly, and she did not want Little Fifth to see her mother in this state. She hoped to give Little Fifth a warm home.

Ou Ze had enough of kissing her and let go of her before turning around to head out of the kitchen. Xia Xiaofu did not have any strength in her as she leaned back on the counter for support, and she used her small hand to cover her collar up.

At this moment, the main doors of the villa were pushed open. Xia Xiaofu heard a familiar voice. “Older Brother.”

Xia Xiaofu wept instantly. She turned around and used her small hand to wipe her tears, but her tears were flowing down too fiercely, and as she wiped them away, more came.

To her, the past six months felt as long as a century. Every day and night was so long that she did not dare to turn back to have a look, and she had no other choice but to be brave and head forward. She told herself that there would be a day when it would be bright, and there had to be a day when Luoxi would come back.

Actually she was not firm at all, after leaving the Xia family she was nothing at all, she did not have any capabilities and did not have any power, she was so weak that she needed someone to rely on.

She wanted to stop for a while. She wanted to have a break. She had always been waiting for that person.

But that person came back, and everything changed.

Or maybe everything changed a long time ago, and she was the only one that was silly and in a blur as she hoped for everything to stop in place back in the past.

Ou Ze was right. She’s betrayed Ou Luoxi.

She has really betrayed him.

…

Inside the living room

Ou Luoxi and Ou Ze were seated separately on two different sofas, and the helpers were serving tea.

“Luoxi, try these tea leaves. I brought this back from Germany. it should taste quite good.”

Ah Li stood behind the sofa, and Ou Luoxi raised the tea cup up as he took a sip before nodding his head with a light smile on his face. “Yeah, it really tastes quite good.”

Ou Ze patted his thighs and said, “It is all good as long as Luoxi likes it. Actually, even though these tea leaves are good, they need to be brewed by someone who is good at making tea. Your older sister-in-law is good at making tea. Someone come over. Go over to the kitchen to check on the Young Mistress. The guest has already arrived. Why are the fruits still not here?”

“Yes, sir.” The helper retreated.

Ou Ze had a bright smile on his face as he said, “Luoxi, don’t mind this. After your older sister-in-law found out that you were going to come over today, she has been busy in the kitchen since early this morning.”

Ou Luoxi did not have much of an expression on his face as he shook his head.

“Young Master, Young Mistress is here now.”

Ou Luoxi raised his head up to have a look in that direction. Xia Xiaofu wore a small pink dress today. He had not seen her for a whole year, and she’d gained some significant weight. Her small dress was very fitting and made her figure look curvy and voluptuous. Her long hair was tied up with a black rubber band, and there was a gentle quietness and warmth to her now. She had the glow of a pear, and it made her look extra attractive.

Xia Xiaofu walked closer and bent her waist down to place the fruit platter on the coffee table. Ou Luoxi had a clear look at the obvious kiss marks on her tender neck and collarbones.

Ou Ze observed Ou Luoxi the entire time, he laughed out loud and said, “Luoxi, you have not seen your older sister-in-law for an entire year now. Has your older sister in law changed a lot? In the past, your older sister-in-law did not do any chores at all, and now, your older sister-in-law is the classic good wife and mother. It is extremely simple for her to cook an entire table’s worth of dishes.

Xia Xiaofu did not raise her head up since coming out of the kitchen. She was extremely excited to see Ou Luoxi but was also afraid of looking at him, and she was afraid that her eyes would turn red. She was even more afraid that she would see something foreign in his eyes.

Ou Ze meant for his words to be digging at his pain while also mocking her. In the past, when she was together with Ou Luoxi, it was mainly Ou Luoxi who was making the meals because her culinary skills were not great, and she did not know how to cook.

But now that she’d married Ou Ze, it was no problem for her to cook an entire table full of dishes, and Ou Ze was mocking Ou Luoxi for that.

Xia Xiaofu recalled the happy times that they had inside the small wooden house in the mountains. At that time, she would hurt her hand occasionally. Every time that happened, he would feel very bad as he applied medication to it, and he coaxed her like his precious treasure.

Xia Xiaofu felt very uncomfortable inside her heart. It was very sweet but also very sour. At that time, why didn’t she just enjoy the love that he had for her. Why didn’t she treat him a little better back then?

There was no one who treated her better than he did in this world.

Xia Xiaofu was pondering the troubles in her heart, and after she regained her senses, she realized that a piece of apple had fallen from the fruit platter in front of Ou Luoxi, and she immediately used a toothpick to poke it.

But after poking it a few times, she did not manage to get it. Because of her clumsy behaviour, her small face was a little red.

At this moment, a deep and charming voice rang out, “Older sister-in-law, forget it.”

Xia Xiaofu froze, and Ah Li, who was behind her, had already stepped forward and said, “Mrs. Ou, let me do it.”

Xia Xiaofu stood up, and she mustered up her courage and had a look at Ou Luoxi, who was sitting down on the sofa.

Ou Luoxi did not avert his gaze. He was also looking at her, but compared to her mixed feelings, his eyes were so clear and did not have any impurities at all, and similarly, he did not have any emotions in his eyes.

As if all of the love and hate from the past had already flown away with the wind.

She was just a stranger.

Xia Xiaofu was pierced instantly before the tears flowed out of her eyes. She said, “I will leave you men to it.” Her footsteps were quick as she walked into the kitchen.

…

Ou Luoxi’s gaze did not stop at Xia Xiaofu’s back profile. He welcomed Ou Ze’s careful gaze as he said, “Older Brother, we should discuss official matters now. Regarding the division of assets, have a look at this contract…”

Ah Li handed the contract in his hands over to Ou Ze.

Ou Ze had a brief look, and his facial expression changed drastically, but he tried his very best to press down the anger inside him. He had a plastic smile on his face as he looked over at Ou Luoxi and said, “Luoxi, do you really want to split the assets of the Ou family with me? With the status you have right now, you probably do not care much about this money from the Ou family, right?”

Ou Luoxi raised the tea cup up and had a sip. He squinted his eyes as he smiled. “Older Brother, who do you think has too much money? In the world today, the rich can overpower those with less money. I am afraid of being poor.”

Ou Ze did not say anything.

Ou Luoxi paused and said, “Older Brother, you having 6 and me having 4 is already the biggest berth that I have given you. The annual shareholders’ meeting is in a few days. During the annual shareholder’s meeting, I am going to take back my shares in the Ou Corporation. As for the accounts and properties in your name I will ask the lawyer to compile them, and when that time comes, all will be well as long as Older Brother splits them with me.”

Ou Ze bit clenched his teeth as he said, “Luoxi, what if I do not agree?”

Ou Luoxi leaned back on the sofa, and he raised his eyebrows. He had a fake smile on his face as he said, “Older Brother, do you know what I’ve learned most this past year? That is to…snatch.”

Ou Ze kneaded his hands into fists secretly. He wanted to snatch something?

It seemed that Ou Luoxi wanted to announce it to him officially now.

After the atmosphere became awkward, a melodious ringtone that rang out. Ou Ze’s phone was ringing.

“Luoxi, have a seat first. I must go and take this call.”

“Please, go ahead.”

…

Inside the kitchen, Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze. She worked hard to force the hot tears flowing from her eyes back in, and she did not want to turn into a woman who only knew how to cry and complain.

She started to wash the vegetables, and at this moment, two helpers passed by and were excited as they chatted —

“Oh my god, Young Master Gong Ming is really so handsome. He is the most exquisite and beautiful man that I have seen in my entire life.”

“That’s right, when I had a glance just now, I almost crashed into the pillar. He is really so handsome.”…

Xia Xiaofu took a breath through her reddened nostrils before pouting her red lips slightly. Everyone admitted that Luoxi was handsome, and in the past, she was extremely mesmerized with him.

Just now, she only glanced at him for a brief moment, and she did not have a good look at him.

What has he become?

Xia Xiaofu wiped her small hands clean, before taking soft footsteps over to the side of the door, and she snuck her small head out to secretly look towards the living room.

Ou Ze went to answer a call. Ah Li bent down by the side of Ou Luoxi’s ear as he spoke softly. The pure boy from the past had already morphed into a man. He wore a thin casual green sweater, and he matched it with a pair of black trousers on bottom. The fringe that blocked the top portion of his eyes in the past was pushed up, exposing his full forehead, perfect, exquisite features, and curves.

He still did not say much. He did not have too many emotions. His entire body had an icy cold and reserved aura. He would occasionally speak softly with Ah Li, and Ah Li would nod his head looking extremely in awe.

He’d really changed and was not the Ou Luoxi from the past anymore. He had become someone with the upper hand, and he was on top.

Xia Xiaofu lowered her gaze, and there was a satisfied smile on the corners of her lips. At the very least, he was leading a better life than her, right?

But, when she loved him, he was never in the best state. She loved him, and that was because he was her Ou Luoxi.

In the past year, when she dreamt in the middle of the night, she always thought about the first time that she met him on the drama production set. He wore a black coat, and he looked cold and lonely as he barged into her gaze.

Ever since then, she could not forget him anymore.

Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze to have a look again. Ou Luoxi and Ah Li, who were inside the living room, had already stopped talking with one another, and both of them were looking over in her direction. Her gaze crashed into Ou Luoxi’s pure and bright eyes immediately.

She was shocked as she shrunk back. Her small fair hands instinctively held the door tightly before she bit down on her lower lip. She had a fearful expression in her eyes as she looked at Ou Luoxi.

Ou Luoxi looked at her moist, almond-shaped eyes. They all said that a thousand words could not match up to a look, and they were probably describing someone like her.

He saw her gaze go downwards before landing on his right leg.

What did she want to ask?

Was it about his leg?

Xia Xiaofu really wanted to ask about his leg. His leg was already fine, and he was not limping anymore. Did he finally accept treatment? How did they treat him?

Also, at the Huang Pu Port, was he hurt?

She had many things that she wanted to tell him, but she did not dare to do so. Now, he’d turned into someone mighty and high up, and he was no longer that person who would come out in her dreams, that handsome youth who pampered and treasured her immensely.

At this moment, she heard an exchange. It was the chiding of the helpers as they said, “Madam Xia, did you do the chores? You are so slow. I asked you to go dry the bedsheets. How much longer do you want to drag it out for? I don’t think that you want dinner tonight, right?”
