Chapter 679: Sorry, We Do Not Match Each Other
Xia Xiaofu laughed coldly before she said, “You don’t have to worry about who I marry in the future. No matter how much power and status you have, no matter how much I can rely on you, I am not willing to marry you. Goodbye.”
Xia Xiaofu walked away.
…
After exiting the banquet hall, Xia Xiaofu went over to the bathroom. She took her phone out and wanted to call Ou Luoxi.
She was very busy recently and did not have much time to contact him.
But he was also good. He had not contacted her, either.
Xia Xiaofu knew that their leaked relationship status had brought him much trouble. She could understand him, but privately, he did not even send her a single text message, and she still felt a little uncomfortable inside her heart.
She found Ou Luoxi’s number and dialled.
A robotic female voice rang out from the other end — Sorry, the number that you have dialled is currently connected with another call.
Who was he calling?
“Xiaofu.” Xiao Li was outside the room looking for her.
Xia Xiaofu quickly put her phone away. She switched into work mode as she replied, “I am here.” She opened the door and headed out.
At this moment, Ou Luoxi was inside the car, and he was in the middle of a call with Lu Shaoming.
Two days ago, Ning Qing gave birth to Little Qin Wen. She was in the middle of her confinement period, so Ning Qing did not know of anything that was happening in the entertainment industry. Everyone had a common understanding and allowed the new mother to rest well.
“Hello, Older Brother, can I ask you for some help?”
“Speak.”
…
After another month went by, the hottest news in the entertainment industry was about another rumour of Ou Luoxi that was leaked. He had been interacting very closely with the main singer of a Korean girl group member, An Feier, lately.
Xia Xiaofu’s troubles had left her but were now Ou Luoxi’s. All of his fans could not believe that he had entered a new relationship so quickly, but on the contrasting side, Xia Xiaofu was all over the place trying to patch things up. She was doing it extremely low key, and when she was occasionally caught on camera by the entertainment journalists, her face would be pale as she hurried around. It largely made everyone pity and worry about her. The netizens all stood by Xia Xiaofu once again, and they chided Ou Luoxi for being cruel and a playboy.
One day, Xia Xiaofu was inside the office. She looked at the newspapers that were stacked up on the table. All of the headlines were about Ou Luoxi having an intimate dinner together with An Feier, including pictures of both of them heading over to the hotel together.
Xia Xiaofu deeply furrowed her eyebrows.
Xiao Li was in a very good mood. Over the past month, the troubles for the PR team were gone completely. Xia Xiaofu regained the glamour of being the Nation’s Number 1 Goddess. She had a smile as she said “Xiaofu, what are you looking at? I heard a good friend of mine say that Ou Luoxi might be really dating An Feier now. An Feier worked hard to debut in the Korean entertainment industry. She looks pretty, and my good friend said that she saw An Feier holding on to Ou Luoxi’s elbow as she kissed his cheeks before her own eyes.”
Xiao Li’s best friend was a mysterious person. She could get first hand information about every single bit of gossip in the entertainment industry. She did not need to doubt the authenticity of the news.
But Xia Xiaofu did not believe it. She stood up and said, “I’m out of here.”
“Ay, Xiaofu, where are you going to?”
“I am a little tired. I am going home to sleep.”
…
Xia Xiaofu did not go back home. She drove back to Ou Luoxi’s villa.
She had not come back for a long time. The villa was pitch black. There was no one around. Xia Xiaofu took the keys out from her bag, but after trying for a moment, she was unable to open it.
The lock was already changed.
Xia Xiaofu was extremely disappointed. She held her keys and took her phone out to call Ou Luoxi, but the call was unable to connect.
Where did he go?
Xia Xiaofu opened her browser to search for news about him. He was filming in Europe at the moment.
Xia Xiaofu quickly called Xiao Li and said, “Hello, Xiao Li, help me book a flight to Europe.”
…
Xia Xiaofu flew over to Europe the next afternoon. She rushed over to the production group that Ou Luoxi was in. Because she was old friends with the assistant producer of the drama production staff, the assistant producer helped her to open the backdoor and allowed her to come inside.
After arriving on set, the director shouted, “Cut! Okay, this scene has been completed successfully. Everyone, quickly grab your dinner. After eating dinner, let’s film the second scene as soon as possible.”
Everyone slowly started to scatter.
Xia Xiaofu stood at a secluded corner to secretly look inside. She saw Ou Luoxi. They had not seen each other for many days. Ou Luoxi did not change too much, and he was still that beautiful youth who was silent and quiet.
Xia Xiaofu’s small hand firmly grabbed the door handle. Her eyes were a little moist, and the moment she saw him, she finally realized how much she missed him.
She really missed him so much.
After almost everyone left, Xia Xiaofu wanted to go inside, but at this moment, a lithe figure appeared. “Luoxi.”
Xia Xiaofu’s pupils contracted. It was An Feier.
Ah Ye and some other staff members were all by Ou Luoxi’s side. They all saw An Feier and instinctively walked away. It was very obvious that they were used to her coming over to visit him on set. An Feier held a bento box in her hands, and she had a sweet smile on her face as she said, “Luoxi, it is time for you to eat dinner. I have prepared a loving bento for you.”
She was standing some distance away. Xia Xiaofu could not see the expression on Ou Luoxi’s face too clearly. Even if she could see it clearly, he probably had the normal look that he always had — expressionless.
An Feier opened the bento box up before using a spoon to pick a small cherry tomato, and she placed it by the side of Ou Luoxi’s mouth and said, “Luoxi, eat some fruit before having your meal.”
Ou Luoxi paused for a few seconds before slowly bending over. He opened his mouth and ate the small cherry tomato that An Feier fed him.
“Luoxi, does it taste good?”
“Yeah.”
Both of them continued talking, but Xia Xiaofu could not hear them clearly anymore. She fiercely bit her lower lip until blood appeared, but she did not feel any pain.
Any amount of pain could not match the pain inside her heart. It was as if her heart was broken into pieces.
He was actually being so intimate with another girl behind her back.
…
After filming the scene, it was already eleven at night. Ou Luoxi went back to his own room.
He opened the door of the room and walked inside. Ou Luoxi’s footsteps were a little slower, and he was always very sensitive to a stranger’s scent. His instincts told him that there was someone in the room.
At this moment, a pair of slim arms wrapped around his strong waist. Someone hugged him tightly from behind.
Ou Luoxi froze entirely. He was not unfamiliar with this kind of feeling at all, and he knew who it was.
Xia Xiaofu.
She’d come over.
“Luoxi.” Xia Xiaofu placed her small face on his broad back as she nudged him, and she was acting cute to express her longing. She was letting him know.
The lights were off. It was so quiet that they could hear each other’s heart beating. Ou Luoxi stood there for a moment before stretching his hand out to touch hers.
Her hand was a little cold, but her skin was very smooth, and the feeling of her hand was very nice.
He used his fingers to caress her hand for a moment before holding onto her small hand, wanting to pull her away.
The moment she realized he was trying to pull her away. Xia Xiaofu was just like a small bunny as she used both of her arms to hug him with all of her strength. “Luoxi, we have not contacted each other for such a long time now. Luoxi, since this is the case, even thought everyone is telling me that you have fallen in love with another person, I still do not believe this.
“Luoxi, do you think I do not know what you are trying to do? You were at the peak of everyone’s attention and chose to leak the relationship with An Feir. Actually, you just wanted to divert everyone’s attention. You wanted to shoulder all of the gossip, and you hope for me to be well.
“Luoxi, you are really so foolish.”
Ou Luoxi raised his handsome eyebrows up slightly before pushing her small hand away.
This time, Xia Xiaofu did not persist.
Ou Luoxi turned around slowly. On this silent night, his dark eyes were clear and sparkling like a pearl. There were no impurities. He looked into Xia Xiaofu’s eyes before saying with much difficulty, “I think, that both of us…are not suited for one another. I am so sorry…”
“What do you mean? What do you mean by being unsuitable for one another?” Xia Xiaofu was a little emotional. She’s already had this bad premonition for a long time. “Luoxi, speak clearly. Do you not want to be together with me anymore? But you obviously like me. Because of me you were even willing to be close to An Feier. Luoxi, did Ou Ze say something to you? Don’t listen to his nonsense…”
“Xiaofu.” He interrupted her and nodded his head. “Yes, I like you.”
If Xia Xiaofu were to hear his confession during a normal day, she would be over the moon, but now, after hearing it, her entire body turned icy cold.
“I do like you, and I did intentionally become close to An Feier. I wish you well, but I have realized that we are not suited for one another. Being together with you, I have faced many problems in reality. I do not like the mess and chaos of this world at all. I only want to live a peaceful life. We…should…break up.”
Xia Xiaofu felt as if as a bucket of cold water had been poured down from the top of her head. Her face was pale as she shook her head. “You… Do you think that I have turned into your burden now? No, I am not. This time was only an incident. Luoxi…”
Xia Xiaofu stretched her small hand out and held Ou Luoxi’s muscular arm as she said, “Luoxi, I have thought about it. I do not want to act anymore. What about being the Nation’s Goddess? I do not care about that at all. I am not going to act anymore, and in the future, there will be no one to pressure us. Let’s date freely and get married…”
Ou Luoxi gently removed her small hand from his arm. His throat was dry, and it made his voice sound a little hoarse as he said, “Sorry, I think that I still do not know…what love is. You’re the one who came over to be by my side, and you asked me to kiss you, hug you. During this period of time that I was together with An Feier, I realized…that there is no big difference…”
Xia Xiaofu never knew that a boy like Ou Luoxi would also say such cruel and direct words. He has cruelly stepped on her pride and dignity.
Her entire body was shaking as she said, “Say it again.”
Ou Luoxi looked into her eyes and said, “I do not want to owe you, so I made use of An Feier to get away from you. In the future, we will not owe each other anymore. It was you who took the lead to provoke me. I admit that you are very beautiful. The things that you wanted to do with me, I admit that I liked them, but together with An Feier, I also can do the same thing. Since any girl is fine, then I do not want to shoulder too many things because of you. I also do not need you to give up things because of me. I want to look for a…simple girl.”
Slap! Xia Xiaofu raised her hand up to give Ou Luoxi a slap.
Ou Luoxi was slapped harshly, but he did not move. The girl’s voice sounded very disappointed as she said, “Ou Luoxi, I think I was blind to like you!”
Xia Xiaofu turned around and left.
The quiet room became stressful. Ou Luoxi silently stood on the spot all by himself. His hands that were drooped by his sides were tightly kneaded into fists, and he closed his reddened eyes slowly. Sorry…
He was really sorry…
Although, I like you.
…
Xia Xiaofu went out of the hotel to go to a bar. She sat at the bar and loudly said, “Give me a cocktail, the stronger the better.”
“Okay.” The bartender nodded his head.
Xia Xiaofu was about to explode in anger. She could not drink alcohol. She gets drunk the moment she drinks a little bit, but today, she just wanted to drink. She wanted to get drunk.
Only after getting drunk would she not think about that irritating person. She would not think of the hurtful words that he’d just said to her.
The cocktail came. Xia Xiaofu raised the glass up and downed it all in one gulp. Her throat was fierily hot, and her tears fell down her face, but she covered her eyes and said, “Give me another.”
There were two foreign beauties who were already half drunk by her side. The beautiful girls noticed that Xia Xiaofu was covering her eyes and was both crying and laughing at the same time, and they asked, “Pretty girl, what’s wrong?”
“I just broke up.” Xia Xiaofu answered honestly and continued, “I got dumped.”
“Meh.” The foreign beauty was unimpressed as she waved her hand. “So what if you got dumped? This is nothing big. There are so many men on earth. If he does not cherish you, then look for a better one tomorrow and show off to him!”
“That’s right, he doesn’t cherish me, I am not going to cherish him anymore, coward, scaredy cat.” Xia Xiaofu trashed him before downing the cocktail in one shot.
The effects of the strong alcohol came immediately. Her small fair face became red, and she used both of her hands to hug the cocktail glass. She lowered her gaze to look at the sparkling counter top. Her eyes were all blurry. The tears in her eyes flowed down immediately like a small child as she cried loudly. “But, but I just like him. I just like him only… I do not want anyone else. I just want him.”
“Why are you crying again?” The foreign beauty handed her a tissue before saying, “You look so pretty. Why do you like to cry so much? Come, tell us. Why did that man not want you anymore?”
Xia Xiaofu loudly cried and said, “He said that I was too complicated. He had to be burdened greatly after being together with me… He said that he wanted to find a simple girl…
“He said that I’m the one who took the lead…and sent myself to him. I allowed him to kiss me, hug me, and sleep with me. The feeling of being together as a man and woman was very good, but he also could experience it with other girls… He said that I was no different from others…”
“Bastard!” The foreign beauty was half drunk as she hit the table. “Who is this man? He is so arrogant, and he is complaining after he got the upper hand.”
“But, a girl who takes the initiative to chase the other party is really the one who loses out in a relationship…” Another person said.
“Since you would lose out, beauty, sleep with him tonight, and after everything is done, see what he’ll say.”
Xia Xiaofu spat the mouthful of alcohol out. She widened her eyes and said, “Wha….what? I, I do not dare.”
“Aiyo, why would you be afraid? Let me ask you: Do you like him?”
“I do.”
