Xia Xiaofu was stunned for a moment. She did not know why Little Xuyan would ask such a thing.
She glanced sideways at Ou Luoxi and saw that Ou Luoxi was looking at her with tender eyes, then he softly said to Little Xuyan, “Little Xuyan, Mommy is going to take an exam soon. Shall we have a sibling when Mommy is done with the exam?”
“Yes, yes.” Little Xuyan applauded.
“Little Xuyan, would you like a younger brother or younger sister?”
“Hmm, how about a sister?”
“Okay.” Ou Luoxi kissed Little Xuyan’s face hard.
Xia Xiaofu was speechless. She suspected that Little Xuyan was a traitor sent by Ou Luoxi. Her father had just asked her last night, and now Little Xuyan is also asking the same thing?
With a couple of words, the father and daughter have decided her pregnancy for her?
Where was her say as the party involved?
Xia Xiaofu felt indignant.
Just then, her hand was wrapped in a warm palm. She looked up and met Ou Luoxi’s bright eyes. “What are you thinking of? Don’t want to have a baby with me?”
“Hmm?” Little Xuyan also looked at her mother with her head tilted.
Xia Xiaofu: “…”
She was done for. She had no say in this household at all.
…
The three did not leave at once. Next to the kindergarten was the church. Ou Luoxi carried Little Xuyan in one arm and held Xia Xiaofu’s hand with the other to show them around the church.
Xia Xiaofu listened to the distant bell and took a breath of fresh air. She felt refreshed. This was indeed a good venue.
Just then, a priest came over. “Young Master Gong Ming…”
Xia Xiaofu quickly took Little Xuyan from him to let Ou Luoxi have his conversation.
He whispered to the priest and looked towards Xia Xiaofu. “I’ll be away for a while, but I’ll be back soon. You two wait for me here.”
“Okay.” Xia Xiaofu nodded.
Ou Luoxi left with the priest.
Little Xuyan slipped down from Xia Xiaofu’s arms. “Mommy, the flowers here are so beautiful. They are all white. What’s the name of this kind of flower?”
Xia Xiaofu looked over. She was standing on a pebble path, and the two sides of the path were full of white flowers. She recognized that they were called Calla Lilies.
Calla Lilies are often used in weddings and as the bride’s bouquet. It’s said that the meaning of this kind of flower is — devotion.
Devout love.
Xia Xiaofu was thinking about it when Little Xuyan tugged on her jacket. “Wow, Mommy, look at that.”
Xia Xiaofu looked over and saw a group of girls in white veils walking towards her. They wore flower crowns on their heads and began to hum French songs.
She did not know when the ancient and romantic music began to play in the quiet church, and white Calla Lilies began to fall from the sky. In the sunset, the beautiful scenery playing out in the golden dusk was a sight to behold.
Xia Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, and her mind went blank.
At that moment, a black figure walked towards her from the center of the crowd. He came before her slowly with a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hand, then knelt on one knee.
“Xiaofu, marry me.”
He was proposing to her.
Xia Xiaofu looked at him in a daze, completely at a loss of how to react. There was a voice in her ear that reverberated ceaselessly. He was proposing to her. He was proposing to her!
“Xiaofu, marry me. I’ve given you all the firsts in my life. You were the one who filled my life. Apart from you, I don’t know what else I want, so you must be responsible for me till the end. Give me your hand and let us grow old together,” Ou Luoxi said affectionately as he tenderly gazed into her almond eyes.
Xia Xiaofu suddenly felt that her eyes were moist, and then there were tears falling down without any warning.
But this time, they were tears of happiness.
No one knew how long she’d dreamt of this moment, how long she waited for this moment. Ever since she first met him, he was all she had, the color of her life.
For the longest time, she had wanted to be his bride and put on beautiful wedding clothes for him.
In the past eight years, they had gone through too many joys and sorrows, but at this moment, they were finally whole. She had conquered so many difficulties along the way and finally made it to his side.
If someone asked her if she hated him for all the bad things he had done to herm
then she could only answer that even if he abused her thousands of times, she would still treat him like her first love.
Xia Xiaofu tearfully nodded. “Yes!”
She agreed!
She agreed!
Ou Luoxi stood up, then put a platinum diamond ring on her ring finger. A hazy shadow passed over her eyes as he covered her face with the white veil.
He held her little face in both his hands and then kissed her lips passionately. “Xiaofu, you are the dream of my life. All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment. The moment when you say to me… YES, I DO.”
…
Ou Xuyan liked going to kindergarten very much, but what was saddening was that her daddy and mommy started their honeymoon journey of touring the world as soon as they got married. Now, she could not go to kindergarten as she was following Daddy and Mommy all day long like a light bulb.
Daddy and Mommy went everywhere, from Provence, France all the way to Sanya. They seem to be making up for all the sweetness they had missed out on all those years. They usually look at each other with electricity in their gazes, which Ou Xuyan quickly became used to.
Of course, there were times when Daddy got angry. Everyone wears a bikini to sunbathe when they go to Sanya, but when Daddy saw mommy in a bikini attracting the attention of others, his handsome face darkened.
At nightfall, her Daddy would always coax her to sleep first. She had begun to understand that her daddy and mommy were doing embarrassing things. For her little brother or sister, she obediently never disturbed them.
But two years passed, and Mommy’s stomach was still the same.
One day, Daddy and Mommy took her to a place, a mountain cottage. Mommy said it was the place where she and Daddy fell in love.
She liked it very much here. After wandering around and coming back, she saw Mommy standing by the window, Daddy hugging her from the back. Their heads were nestled together as they whispered to each other. They were smiling so happily and blissfully.
She suddenly saw Mommy covering her mouth as if she were going to vomit. Daddy’s face instantly changed as he anxiously asked her what was the matter. Her mommy’s face reddened as she chided him — It’s the result of your hard work.
Then Daddy picked mommy up and turned in circles. That’s when she knew she was going to have a little sister.
Mommy’s morning sickness was very serious. Daddy slowly let go of the Green Door’s matters and left everything to Ah Li to take care of while he attentively accompanied Mommy. Ten months later, Mommy gave birth. It was really a little sister.
Having his girls with him was enough. Daddy was no longer busy. Instead, he lived in seclusion with Mommy in this mountain cottage. Xuyan started getting interested in martial arts, so Daddy shaved a wooden sword for her. She liked practicing martial arts on the top of the mountain.
When she was eight years old, she had achieved success. One evening, she stood at the top of the mountain and let the afterglow of the sunset light up her snow-like skin. Suddenly, a boy appeared at the foot of the mountain.
The boy shouted at her, “Hey, what’s your name?”
She looked at him coldly.
The boy shouted again, “Hello, it’s fate that we met. Let me introduce myself first. I’m the second son of the Lu family. Can we make friends?”
In the face of such a hedonistic son of rich parents, she simply turned and left.
