My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 691
Chapter 691: Second Older Brother
He nudged his head on her soft tender neck, and Ou Luoxi said, “I am not tired. I just…miss you…”
Xia Xiaofu touched his elbow slowly, but the thing that her palm touched felt very hard and thick. She turned her head over to the side to duck away from his kiss and asked him,”What is that on your arm? There seems to be a bandage on it.”
Xia Xiaofu pressed down on it.
Because he was in pain, Ou Luoxi instinctively raised his eyebrows, but he did not let out a sound. He avoided her small hand and explained himself, “I got hurt two days ago when I was running, so I put a bandage on.”
“Are you hurt? Where did you hurt yourself?” Xia Xiaofu was extremely anxious and said, “Let me have a look.”
“There is no need for that. The doctor has already bandaged it. If you want to have a look, then we’ll have to bandage it again.”
“Oh.” Xia Xiaofu decided not to proceed further, but she hugged his elbow and blew on it, and her eyes were sparkling and gentle as she looked at him, “Luoxi, does it hurt?”
Ou Luoxi gazed deeply into her beautiful almond-shaped eyes. At this moment, she pitied him. He was willing to do anything for her, no matter whether it meant death.
“It doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t hurt at all.”
She closed her eyes, and at this moment, she felt something itchy on her face. She opened her eyes to have a look. There was a white veil placed on her face.
Xia Xiaofu froze.
Ou Luoxi used his fingers to caress her exquisite features. He was right. She really looked so beautiful with a white veil. “Xiaofu, you look so beautiful.”
Xia Xiaofu felt as if there were a layer of honey on her heart. She pouted her red lips and looked at him coyly. “Luoxi, what is wrong with you today? Why are you being so sweet with your words?”
Ou Luoxi stretched his hand out to lift the white veil up, and he exposed her attractive red lips. He closed his eyes and kissed her while he murmured, “Your lips are what’s sweet.”
Xia Xiaofu’s heart thumped/ She did not know why he was progressing so quickly; he knew how to say sweet nothings already.
With this newfound ability to say sweet nothings, he became even more attractive.
…
Ou Luoxi opened his eyes, and it was already the next morning. He looked up at the rectangular ceiling above his head. He was still inside the hotel room.
He’d slept here last night, and in the past month or so, he did not sleep at all. Last night, he hugged her and slept for the entire night without any dreams, and he slept especially well.
“Xiaofu…” Ou Luoxi turned around, and he wanted to embrace Xia Xiaofu, who was by his side.
But his arms were empty, there was no one on the bed. Xia Xiaofu had left already.
Ou Luoxi sat up slowly. There was a note on the bed stand — Luo Xi, I have gone to the office. Sleep for a little while longer.
Ou Luoxi looked at the note two times before he woke up and got out of bed. He needed to rush back. He still had to prepare breakfast for Xia Xiaofu’s mother, and Xia Bo needed his blood.
Ou Luoxi put all of his clothes back on. The white veil landed on his clothes. He stretched his hand out to pick it up before cherishing it preciously and hiding it in his pocket.
He left the hotel.
…
He returned back to the villa. Ou Luoxi prepared breakfast. Xia Xiaofu’s mother ate breakfast, and he went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
After washing the bowls, he wanted to place the dishes back into the cupboard, and at this moment, his vision blurred. The bowl in his hand fell onto the floor. Bang! The bowl shattered on the ground.
At this moment, Little Fourth came running over. He bit Ou Luoxi’s trousers and loudly barked. “Woof woof!”
Ou Luoxi shook his head before stretching his hand out to pick the pieces of bowl up, but his fingers felt pain. It turned out that it was the sharp pieces of the bowl fragments that pricked his finger, and fresh blood flowed out of the wound.
Ou Luoxi pressed down on the wound, and his right eyelid was twitching badly. He felt uneasy inside his heart, and he felt that something was going to happen soon.
His premonitions were always very accurate.
Little Fourth used his head to nudge Ou Luoxi’s thighs and moaned, “Woo woo.”
Ou Luoxi touched Little Fourth’s head and comforted him. “I am fine. I just feel a little faint. Probably…because I was together with your Mama last night…”
“Woof woof!” Little Fourth immediately bit his trousers hard and did not allow him to go upstairs.
In Little Fourth’s eyes, Xia Bo’s room was a torturous hellscape.
“Little Fourth, let go.”
“Woof woof!”
Ou Luoxi did not have any other choice. He could only shake Little Fourth off forcefully, and he went upstairs by himself.
Little Fourth knew that he could persuade his Papa to stay behind. He drooped his head down to lay on the floor before sobbing sadly out loud. “Woo woo.”
There were some times that a person’s instincts were as sharp as an animal’s.
Little Fourth knew that something was going to happen, and disaster was nearing his Papa.
…
Ou Luoxi went into the room. Xia Bo was sleeping on the bed. Xia Xiaofu’s mother was standing by one side. Xia Xiaofu’s mother could not bear to see Ou Luoxi releasing his blood, so she averted her gaze.
Ou Luoxi used the knife to slit his own wrist before the blood dripped into the bowl.
There was just one drop of blood in the bowl, and his wrist was pressed down by a large palm that was well defined. A deep and serious voice that rang out in his ears. “You are only so smart?”
Ou Luoxi turned his gaze over to the side to have a look. It was Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao was back from his mission in Africa.
“Second Older Brother.” Ou Luoxi was taken aback.
Zhou Yao was dressed in a short sleeved T shirt. He had a pair of high waisted camouflage military pants on. He did not fear this cold winter at all, and his firm and handsome face did not have any trace of a smile on it. His deep dark gaze scanned the left arm of Ou Luoxi that did not have a single undamaged inch. His thin lips that were like a knife blade moved as he said, “It has only been half a year’s time and, you have managed to live like a ghost. You are really fucking emabrrasing!”
Zhou Yao tugged his wrist and dragged him out.
“Ay, Luoxi, you cannot leave…” Xia Xiaofu’s mother shouted loudly from behind.
At this moment, Xia Bo’s drug addiction was in effect. “Blood, blood…” Xia Bo was in pain as he rolled around on the bed.
Ou Luoxi noticed what was going on and wanted to break free from Zhou Yao’s grip, but Zhou Yao’s arm was just like a metal wall, and he was unable to move at all. Zhou Yao turned his head and his sharp gaze went over to Xia Bo who was on the bed, “He took drugs?”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother’s face was pale. She knew from the first glance that this man who’d barged in was a soldier. It was not from his attire, but it was from his proper aura and firmness. Now that he’s found out, she was afraid that the news about Xia Bo taking drugs would be exposed.
Xia Xiaofu’s mother looked over at Ou Luoxi immediately and begged him, “Luoxi, your Uncle’s drug addiction is here again. You cannot leave. I am begging you to save him now.”
Ou Luoxi wanted to speak, but Zhou Yao spoke first. He curled the corners of his lips up into an icy cold smile as he said “Save? How do you want Luoxi to save him? Use Luoxi’s blood to sustain him?”
Zhou Yao spoke as he lifted Ou Luoxi’s arm up high, and his sharp gaze pierced through Xia Xiaofu’s mother’s face as he said, “You seem to be a cultured person. Why is your heart so cruel? He is a human being, and you are treating him as a blood bank?”
Xia Xiaofu’s mother felt bad and froze on the spot.
“Second Older Brother, let go of me.” Ou Luoxi hit Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao easily stepped back and avoided Ou Luoxi’s blow, and he said, “You have such little strength? You are totally a girl with your soft strength.”
Zhou Yao lifted his long right leg, and his heavy army boots kicked Ou Luoxi’s stomach. His firm face finally had anger that he could not hold back anymore. He opened his mouth and scolded him, “Damn it, such a useless thing. You are not human, and you are also not a ghost either. Wait till I inform Eldest Brother, and let us see how we are going to punish you!”
Ou Luoxi crashed into the wall. There was a slight stain of blood on the corners of his lips, and at this moment, the door of the room was opened up. Two soldiers pressed down on Ou Luoxi’s elbows and forcefully brought him out.
“Luoxi…” Xia Xiaofu’s mother wanted to go forward and chase after him.
Zhou Yao put both hands into his pockets and stood there casually. “Someone come over. Send him over to the hospital.”
“Yes, Major General.”
“You cannot…”
“Oh, why am I not able to?” Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows up.
“Luoxi would not agree to it…”
“Hah.” Zhou Yao laughed softly, and he lowered his gaze down to lick his thin lips before squinting his narrow eyes to look at Xia Xiaofu’s mother. “Your daughter is Xia Xiaofu, right? Give her a call. If she wants my third younger brother’s blood, then I want her to be the one asking for it, okay?”
Zhou Yao turned around and swiftly left.
…
In the large residence of the Zhou family, Ou Luoxi was locked inside a room. The doctor left, and the helpers came in to bring in a delicious meal. Ou Luoxi did not eat anything, and he sat down alone on the bed.
At this moment, the door opened. Zhou Yao appeared. The man was near 1.9m tall, and he stood by the side of the door. It was as if his head could touch the ceiling, and he was just like a pillar.
“Why are you not eating anything?” Zhou Yao asked nonchalantly.
Ou Luoxi did not raise his head up as he said, “Second Older Brother, I want to go back.”
“Go back? Go back to being a provider of blood?” Zhou Yao squinted his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette. He lowered his volume and said, “Eat your food! The doctor said that you are badly undernourished, the long term effects of the loss of blood has made your body functions weak, and if I would have been a few months late, I would have had to pick up a corpse.”
“I don’t want to eat…”
“Someone come over!”
“Yes, Young Master.” The helpers of the Zhou family rushed over hurriedly.
“Bring some soldiers and invite Xia Xiaofu over. Say that I am inviting her for a meal.”
“Second Older Brother!” Ou Luoxi stood up quickly, and he walked over to the side of the chair. He took the chopsticks up and said, “I will eat my food; don’t look for her.”
Zhou Yao had a glance at Ou Luoxi, who was eating his food obediently. He used his fingers and his hand to touch his chin, and he spat out a mouthful of smoke out and gave an expression to the helpers using his gaze.
The helpers left.
“After two days, Eldest Brother will come back. Let’s go to America together.”
“America?”
“Yeah.” Zhou Yao put one hand in his pocket and used another hand to hold the cigarette as he smoked. His long legs were lazily crossed together, and he swayed while feeling bored as he spoke. “Since your injury, Eldest Brother had been going all over the place to search for a solution for your leg. Eldest Brother and Doctor Zhou have already made a proposal for you, and this proposal might need you to suffer a bit. You have to break the bones that are curved before letting it grow out again.”
Ou Luoxi ate his meal, and there was a long pause before he said, “Second Older Brother, can we wait a little, I…”
“We can’t!” Zhou Yao rejected him immediately.
Ou Luoxi did not say anything else.
Zhou Yao glanced at him slightly before taking the phone out of his pocket, then threw it onto the table, and he walked towards the door. “Give Xia Xiaofu a call. This surgery requires you to rest for a year. Ask her to leave with you. The matter regarding her parents and the matters concerning the Xia Corporation, we will handle them all. Otherwise, after you return, ask your Oldest Sister-In-Law to introduce you to a good one.”
Zhou Yao disappeared from his line of vision.
…
Ou Luoxi slowly put down his chopsticks, and he looked at the phone on the table. He hesitated for a moment before taking his phone up, and he dialled Xia Xiaofu’s number.
The phone rang a few times, and it was only then that Xia Xiaofu’s phone was picked up slowly, “Hello, Luoxi…”
“Hello, Xiaofu…”
“Luoxi, what is going on with my father exactly? How did he end up in hospital? Why did he take drugs?” Xia Xiaofu was in the hospital, and her voice sounded very anxious.
“Xiaofu, I am sorry. Uncle..”
“Over the past two to three months, didn’t I hand my parents over for you to take care of them? Luoxi, the doctor said that my father has been doing drugs for a long time now, but during this period of time, you did not tell me about this at all, and you even said that you would take care of my parents well…”
At this moment, Xia Xiaofu’s mother’s pitiful screams rang out from the other end of the line. “Don’t send my husband to the drug rehabilitation centre. His body would not be able to take it. I am begging you all to spare him…”
“Mum.” Xia Xiaofu went to snatch the phone away, and at this moment, Xia Xiaofu’s mother suddenly shut her eyes and fainted immediately. “Mum, what is wrong with you. Mum?”
At this moment, Ou Ze’s voice came over, and he said, “Xiaofu, Aunty fainted. Send her over to the treatment room now.”
Doo, doo. The call was disconnected.
Ou Luoxi sat down on the chair as he listened to the busy tone on the other end in a blur, and his facial expression was extremely blank and disheveled.
…
Inside the hospital
Xia Xiaofu’s mother was placed on a hospital bed, and the doctor gave her an IV drip.
The other room was a total mess. The doctors and nurses were all trying to restrain Xia Bo, who was showing signs of his drug addiction, and the personnel of the drug rehabilitation centre took the documentation as they stood outside the door and waited, and they were waiting to bring Xia Bo away.
“Xiaofu, you don’t have to worry. I would not let them bring Uncle away.”
Ou Ze walked over to the enforcement officers immediately and said, “Hello, I am…”
“How are you all doing?” At this moment, Xia Xiaofu stepped forward, and she nodded politely towards the enforcement officers. She looked at Xia Bo, who was inside, before she softly said, “Please bring my father away.”
