Chapter 681 - I Am Not A Virgin Anymore
Chapter 681: I Am Not A Virgin Anymore
But the smile on Xia Xiaofu’s face was frozen. It was not Ou Luoxi who was outside the door, but it was her…mother.
“Mum, why are you here?”
Her mother looked at her daughter as she said, “Why not? Upon seeing me here, you are unhappy?”
“What?” Xia Xiaofu’s gaze went over to the corridor.
Her mother treated it as if she did not see anything and said, “Xiaofu, organize your things and go home with Mummy. Your dad has not been in the best of health. Stop your work and accompany your father.”
“What is wrong with Dad?” Xia Xiaofu was extremely anxious.
Both mother and daughter chatted with one another as they walked out of the hotel. Xia Xiaofu wanted to go to the production group to visit Ou Luoxi, but as a girl, she felt that she had to be reserved at the same time, so she waited for him to come and find her.
So she sent a text to Ou Luoxi — [Luoxi, I have to go home…]
Everything that she wanted to say was in the dots, and she hoped that he could understand what she meant.
…
Half a year went by. In that span of time, Xia Xiaofu did not get any news about Ou Luoxi at all. All she saw were more rumours about Ou Luoxi and An Feier.
Xia Xiaofu was conflicted inside her heart. She was both angry and upset. She did not know what that night in the hotel back then meant to Ou Luoxi.
Was that breakup the actual end, so that night was only an accident?
Xia Xiaofu wanted to go and look for him, but after finding him, she did not know how to say it. She could not ask him to take responsibility so directly, and she did not want to let herself be so cheap. She wanted to keep a little dignity for herself, so she did not go looking for him.
After that, there was one time when she saw Ou Luoxi in a bar, and at that time, Ning Qing gave birth to Little Young Master Lu. She had already gone over to England to do eye surgery, and after that, she returned to the entertainment industry looking all beautiful. She could not help but talk to him on the dance floor. She even took the initiative to kiss him, but his attitude was extremely cold, and she even saw An Feier. He was interacting extremely intimately with An Feier, and after seeing that, she ran back to her room at home and cried secretly for the entire night.
Later, she got news about Ou Luoxi from Lu Shaoming. Lu Shaoming said that Ou Luoxi was injured very badly in Miao Jiang, and she was extremely anxious. She immediately took a fllght over.
She took care of him and slept with him. She tugged on the corner of his shirt and asked him whether he liked her or not. She even softly begged him to make up. As long as he was willing to continue dating her, she would move back to live together with him, but he was unwilling to say anything. He even flipped her body around, nudged her in between her thighs, and did a very dirty thing to her.
Xia Xiaofu took a plane back to T City.
After reaching home, she stood in the shower to clean up. She used the hot water to wash the scent of him off her body. She raised her hand up to touch her face. She felt her hot tears flow down between the gaps of her fingers.
She did not know how other girls chased after boys, but she was just like this. She was so silly that she’d spent more than a year chasing after him. She did not want any of her pride and dignity as a girl. She only wanted his promise, and she just wanted him.
But it was probably fated for a person who sent herself over by her own accord to not receive the most basic level of respect.
Xia Xiaofu pondered for a moment. She’d met Ou Luoxi when she was 23 years old, and now that she’s gone through so many troubles and obstacles, she was already 25 years old. She spent two years, lost her virginity and her heart, and she was complete fool.
She did not like him anymore.
She wanted to work hard and forget him.
Everyone fell in love with one or two fools in their lives. It was fine as long as she knew how to learn from her mistakes.
Xia Xiaofu wiped her tears clean and went out the door. She returned back to the entertainment industry officially. She took on a role in a Wuxia drama directed by a famous director. She was acting as an arrogant and cold female lead. This film was nominated for the international Berlin award. Xia Xiaofu was crowned as Best Actress once again on the international stage, and this year, she successfully turned into the most popular female celebrity in the country.
Everyone forgot about the relationship that she once had with Ou Luoxi. She did not bring Ou Luoxi up in front of others. Even when the rumours of him and An Feier were at its peak, other than filming, she put her efforts towards charity and education. The painful past was all hidden in the depths of her heart, and she treated the entire world gently.
Xia Xiaofu made every netizen feel bad for her.
…
Xia Xiaofu drove over to a nearby coffee shop. She was in her car when her mother called her, “Xiaofu, you’d better be serious this time. Don’t say a few lines. You barely sat down and already stood up to leave. This is already your 8th blind date.”
“I get it, Mum.”
“Don’t brush me off anymore, Xiaofu. You are also no longer young anymore. The people Mum is introducing you to are young and talented. Every time they come back they would say that they are extremely satisfied with you, but you never bother with them. Don’t let yourself become a leftover woman. There are only so many years in a girl’s youth.”
“I get it, Mum.”
Her mother had nothing else to say. Every time she brought up this topic, Xia Xiaofu did not say much. She would always repeat, “I get it, Mum,” and as a mother, she felt helpless.
“Mum, I am not going to talk anymore. I am here.”
Xia Xiaofu hung up before parking the car in the parking lot. She opened the door and went into the coffee shop.
Because Xia Xiaofu was wearing a cap and large sunglasses, everyone in the coffee shop could not recognize her at first glance, but she wore a striped T shirt today. There was an exquisite floral design on the side of the T shirt,, and she wore a pair of dark blue casual pants that exposed her small snow-white ankles. She wore a pair of high heeled shoes and made her figure look even more curvy and attractive. The moment she appeared, everyone in the coffee shop turned their heads around to look at her repeatedly.
Xia Xiaofu found the seat that she’d reserved and saw a man dressed in a white shirt and black pants. He was tall and handsome. He stood up and had a smile on his face as he said, “Xia Xiaofu, it has been so long since we last met.”
This was still the first time someone addressed her by her full name. Normally, when she was on a blind date, they would all be polite and address her as Miss Xia, so Xia Xiaofu stretched her hand out to remove the sunglasses that she was wearing and said, “You are?”
She instinctively felt that this was someone she knew.
But after looking at him for a moment, she could not remember who.
The man’s smile was very warm, and he had a row of snowy white teeth. He said, “Xia Xiaofu, how are you? I am Chen Jingyu from Year 3 Class 2. There was a time during the school celebration that you were singing and the mic was ruined. I lent my mic to you, and you said that you were going to return it to me, but I waited for so long and did not see you anywhere, and that meant that I was totally silent during the entire time I was emceeing for that event.”
Xia Xiaofu remembered this event immediately. Chen Jingyu — he was her senior.
The moment she’d stepped foot in that school, she heard about Chen Jingyu. Compared to those rich boys that came from wealthy families, Chen Jingyu came from a much more normal family. His family members had been in the military for multiple generations, and they were high ranking officials in the government. Because Chen Jingyu was handsome and attractive, he was known as the most handsome boy and was a talented figure in Z University. All of the girls were attracted to him.
Xia Xiaofu’s small, egg-shaped face was a little red. She was embarrassed as she spat her small tongue out and said, “At that time, when I was done singing, I was called away, so…I forgot about it. Sorry.”
“It’s fine. You forgot about it, but I was unable to forget that.” Chen Jingyu was extremely humorous as he raised his eyebrows up.
Xia Xiaofu curled her lips up. She let out her first smile in a long time.
Both of them sat in their seats. Xia Xiaofu drank some orange juice and asked him, “So Mr. Chen…what are you working as right now?”
“I am working as a translator in the United Nations, but I am merely an administrative staff member.”
Xia Xiaofu heard what he said and knew that this was a prestigious job. Professional translators were extremely in demand worldwide for their services, and to be a professional translator in the United Nations, he not only had to have the abilities, but his background was even more important because they were working with confidential documents.
But Chen Jingyu said that he was merely an administrative staff member, there were times when a man’s manners and upbringing were shown in the words that he said.
“Then are you busy with your work?”
“I wouldn’t say that I’m busy working for the country. At least I have the right to get married, have children, go back home, and go on holiday,” Chen Jingyu said with a smile on his face.
“People in such an occupation like yours, what requirements do you have for your other half?”
“Hmm.” Chen Jingyu pondered for a moment before he replied, “We have our requirements, but the most important thing for our future partners is to be able to communicate heart to heart, and as long as we love the person, all is fine.”
As he spoke, Chen Jingyu raised his eyebrow at Xia Xiaofu.
Xia Xiaofu acted as if she did not see anything and lowered her gaze down to drink the juice she was holding in her hands.
Chen Jingyu observed her obvious actions as she disengaged. To be honest, he found it very weird. In the past few years, the women that he met would be head over heels for him, but she was the only one who was not interested.
But Chen Jingyu still liked her. He’d fallen in love with her at first sight, and that led to him not being able to forget her over the past few years.
“How about you? Have you been filming the entire time?”
“Yeah.” Xia Xiaofu nodded her head and said, “Yes, I am just filming dramas and taking up some endorsements. I pick the ones I like. There is no one forcing me to do things that I do not like, and the pay is very generous.”
“Do you plan to be in entertainment forever? There are many women in the entertainment industry who take the opportunity when they are young to find a good man and get married,because they know that they are unable to last long in the industry. Have you found someone whom you could give up the entertainment industry for?”
Xia Xiaofu’s gaze became blurry. She suddenly thought about the time one year ago inside the hotel room. She once hugged that boy and told him that she did not want to act anymore.
Xia Xiaofu raised her head up to tuck the strands of hair by the side of her cheek behind her ear, and it turned out that she has not forgotten.
It was all so clear as it appeared before her eyes.
And that resulted in her eyes turning watery.
“I am sorry, I have to powder my nose.” Xia Xiaofu stood up.
…
Xia Xiaofu stood before the sink and used the water to wash her face, and at this moment, she heard some girls chit chatting with one another —
“Did you hear the news about Ou Luoxi? I have not seen him for a long time now.”
“That’s right, we have not seen him for a long time. One year has already passed. Ou Luoxi seems to have disappeared. There is no news about him in the entertainment industry, and there is not a single person who has seen him.”
“Everyone says that Ou Luoxi is unable to continue working in the entertainment industry anymore. He started to behave recklessly. He gave up on Goddess Xia, who was once at the peak of everyone’s attention, and fell in love with An Feier. This made everyone angry. Everyone was scolding him, and after that, he went to Europe to film, but he stopped filming in the middle. Everyone said that he was acting like a big shot and was banned from the industry by a few big bosses. His reputation has been ruined entirely, and he’s vanished completely.”
“Ay, but, I still like Ou Luoxi very much.”
“Me too, I think that it is such a pity for Ou Luoxi to turn like this suddenly. I pity him so much.”…
Xia Xiaofu came out of the washroom and went back to the coffee shop. Chen Jingyu looked at her small face and said, “Why is your face so pale? Do you not feel well?”
“I am fine.” Xia Xiaofu shook her head, and said, “My assistant gave me a call just now. I am sorry, I have to go to work.”
“I will bring you there.”
“No thanks, I drove here.” Xia Xiaofu took her bag and prepared to head towards the door.
“Xiaofu.” Chen Jingyu stopped her and said, “Should we exchange phone numbers with each other? I do not know if I have the honour to ask you out again next time?”
Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze up and looked Chen Jingyu in the eyes.
Chen Jingyu had a warm smile on his face as he shook the phone in his hands.
Xia Xiaofu had good feelings for this person. He was polite and attractive, and he was very gentlemanly. If she wanted to start afresh, he was a very good choice.
She was honest as she said, “I am not a virgin anymore.”
Chen Jingyu froze and immediately broke out into a smile as he said, “In this generation, if I were to say I was a virgin, wouldn’t that be very embarrassing?”
Xia Xiaofu had a bright smile on her face. She took her phone out and said, “Since this is the case, let’s give it a try then.”
…
Xia Xiaofu did not go to work. She drove the car back to the garage and prepared to go home and rest.
She did not want to do anything today because she was very tired, and she only wanted to sleep.
She exited the garage. Xia Xiaofu went into the condominium building, and at this moment, she saw a familiar figure — Ou Ze.
She stopped in her tracks.
“Xiaofu.” Ou Ze stepped forward and said, “You are back? I have waited for you for a long time.”
Xia Xiaofu had a cold expression on her face as she said, “Mr. Ou, what are you waiting for me for? Do we know each other very well?”
“Xiaofu, do you really have to treat me like that?”
“A year ago, I already announced to the public that we have called off the engagement. I also do not have any interest in being friends with a person like you, so it is still better for us to remain strangers.”
“Xiaofu,” Ou Ze’s entire face turned dark as he said, “Luoxi is missing now. I thought I would give you a year so you could forget him slowly and return to my side, but you’ve actually started to go on blind dates. Did you manage to find a better person, so you are kicking me away now?”
Xia Xiaofu really did understand what Ou Ze’s brain was made out of sometimes. She did not understand his world.
Xia Xiaofu curled the corners of her lips up and calmly said, “Yeah, I did go on a blind date, and I can be considered to be satisfied with my blind date this time. I have the intention to continue meeting him. This person is Chen Jingyu. Mr. Ou do you know him?”
Upon hearing that name, Ou Ze’s expression changed. Everyone knew about Young Master Chen from the military family. He did not expect that Xia Xiaofu could manage to get to know someone like that in such a short period of time.
“Xiaofu, do you really have to be so cruel to me?”
“Ou Ze, I will say it for the last time: any man is a possibility, but you are the only one who is not. You’d better stop with these wild fantasies.”
Ou Ze’s face turned cold and sinister. He laughed coldly. He lowered his volume and said, “Xiaofu, you are forcing me.”
“Ou Ze, are you threatening me?”
Looking at the girl’s fierce and exquisite face, Ou Ze’s cheeks moved before he went off in a huff. “Then we will see as we go. There will be a day when you come and look for me.”
Ou Ze left. Xia Xiaofu felt very tired. She took the lift to go back home before going into her own room and falling asleep on her large bed immediately.
She stretched her hand out to pull the blankets up, and she placed her small head underneath the blankets.
At this moment, her mother knocked on the door and walked inside, “Xiaofu, how did the blind date go today? Mum has met Chen Jingyu, and Mum is very satisfied.”
“Yeah, I am also very satisfied.”
