Chapter 745: Mummy, I Don’t Like Him At All
Chen Jingyu brought Little Xuyan to play at the playground. Xia Xiaofu got up to buy Little Xuyan’s favorite yogurt. The yogurt shop was upstairs, and after buying a cup of yogurt, she rushed towards the elevator.
The elevator door was about to close. Xia Xiaofu ran towards it quickly. “Wait a minute...”
The elevator door, which was about to close, opened. “Thank you.” Xia Xiaofu went in with the yogurt she was holding.
Upon entering, she was stunned. She knew the two people in the elevator very well. One was Ah Li, the other was...Ou Luoxi.
Ou Luoxi was wearing a white shirt and a long dark blue cardigan. This style made him seem more steadfast and reserved. His facial features were also more profound, exquisite, and perfect.
He held a document in his hand and was looking down at it. After seeing her come in, he looked up. The document was swung to his side in his right hand while he stuck his left hand into his pocket.
Xia Xiaofu’s first reaction was to get out, but it was too late. Ah Li gave her a polite nod and pressed the button to close the elevator door.
She stood frozen with the yogurt in her hands.
The distance between the two was not far, but they did not look at each other. Ou Luoxi stared at the mirror in front which showed the reflection of her looking towards the ground. His thin lips moved as he croaked, “How have you been?”
...
Xia Xiaofu stared at her toes. “Well, everything is ok.”
“Came out alone?”
“No,” Xia Xiaofu shook her head, “with Little Xuyan, and...Mr. Chen.”
His voice faded, and he stopped talking. She also remained silent.
Such an atmosphere was torturous for Xia Xiaofu. With a quick beep, the elevator door opened, and she quickly stepped out after letting out a huge sigh of relief.
...
Ou Luoxi walked outside the playground and looked in through the french window. Little Xuyan was very happy to see all kinds of toys. She played with a toy for a while then ran to play with another. Xia Xiaofu chased after her for fear that she would fall.
Ou Luoxi looked at Little Xuyan’s delicate small face. Her face was beaming with such a bright smile, just like a little angel who brings light to people...
He slowly stretched out his hand and sketched her features with his fingers on the glass of the french windows.
She really looks so much like her mommy.
Ou Luoxi’s gaze shifted to the left and finally settled on the woman’s face. She and Little Xuyan were wearing mother-daughter outfits, a loose green sweater and black tights paired with sequined leather boots, making them look young and beautiful.
Xia Xiaofu looked at Little Xuyan’s smile which reached her eyes and was immersed in the warmth of being a mum.
Ou Luoxi’s fingers began to tremble. He moved bit by bit and wished he could touch the woman’s gentle feature...
“Young Master!” Ah Li made an urgent cry from behind, but it was too late, and Ou Luoxi’s forehead directly hit the wall in front of him.
When he looked to the side, the mother and daughter had already disappeared from his sight.
Ou Luoxi stood rooted to the ground for a few seconds and clenched his hands into a fist before relaxing them. He quickened his steps, walked around the wall, and peeped in.
“Wow, Uncle, I want the doll in the red clothes.” In front of a claw machine, Chen Jingyu squatted down and stuffed coins into it. Little Xuyan stood beside him, hopping around and shouting excitedly.”Ok, uncle will go to pick up the doll that Little Xuyan wants.” Chen Jingyu pressed the button to pick up the doll.
Unfortunately, he didn’t get it.
“Go uncle! Press on!” Little Xuyan cheered Chen Jingyu on with her little fists in the air.
Chen Jingyu then tried again for the second, the third, the umpteenth time, but every attempt failed. Such a well-educated person like him could easily speak about any topic, but he had never played with a claw machine before and did not know how to do it.
At this point, Xia Xiaofu smiled and said, “Sir, forget it. This doll is not easily clawed, otherwise the business would be suffering great losses. Little Xuyan, let’s go and play something else with Uncle.”
Little Xuyan was young, but she already knew how to comfort people. Her big black eyes circled around Chen Jingyu’s handsome face, and she chirped, “It is okay if you can’t get hold of the doll. Don’t be embarrassed.”
Chen Jingyu reached out and held her in his arms. “No, this claw machine really hit Uncle hard. Let Uncle take you to play basketball for me to regain some confidence.”
“Hehe...” Little Xuyan giggled happily as she sat atop his shoulders.
Xia Xiaofu quickened her steps to keep up with the two of them.
Three of them soon disappeared from sight. Ou Luoxi slowly strode forwards and finally stopped in front of the claw machine.
“Young Master.” Ah Li handed him a coin.
He crouched down on one knee and put the coin in. He pressed the button and easily caught the red doll Little Xuyan had wanted.
The red doll fell out from the hole below, and he reached out his hand to retrieve it.
He embraced the doll and then held the doll’s hand.
Ah Li, who was watching from the side, felt slightly uncomfortable. Recently, his young master had been looking at things in a daze like this. The young master used to be so quiet that it made others’ hearts ache. The current young master is so quiet that it was heartbreaking.
At this moment, a string of footsteps appeared, and Little Xuyan suddenly appeared.
He looked up and unexpectedly locked eyes with Little Xuyan.
Little Xuyan was also stunned.
Ou Luoxi quickly stood up and looked at the little girl in front of him. He tried his best to reveal a kind smile. He appeared flustered and embarrassed, and he held the red doll till his palms were sweating. “Little Xuyan...this is for you...”
...
He handed over the doll in his hands uneasily.
Little Xuyan glanced at him, then ran to the claw machine to retrieve a little red flower she had dropped behind. She then turned and ran away.
Ou Luoxi was frozen in place.
...
Little Xuyan ran away in a hurry, but she stopped suddenly after turning a corner as she saw mommy standing in front of her.
Both mother and daughter locked eyes,, and Little Xuyan hung her head down like she did something wrong. “Mommy...”
Xia Xiaofu walked forward, squatted down, and kissed Little Xuyan on the cheek, then softly asked, “Why did you do that? My Little Xuyan is a very polite and good child.”
Little Xuyan was more mature than other children. She probably knew that her behavior just now would hurt Ou Luoxi’s heart, but she still did it anyway.
With tears glistening in her eyes, Little Xuyan muttered, “Mommy, I don’t like him at all.”
Seeing her daughter in tears, Xia Xiaofu held her in her embrace. She wiped her tears as she asked, “Little Xuyan, tell Mommy why you...dislike him so much...”
Little Xuyan hugged Mommy’s neck and cried, “Because he is very bad. He snatched Mommy away from me and caused Mommy to stay in the hospital. I saw Mommy crying. He doesn’t like me nor Mommy, so I don’t like him anymore... I like Uncle Chen. He doesn’t make Mommy cry. Uncle only makes Mommy laugh... Boo hoo.”
