Chapter 227 Dare Not to Disturb Her Easily

T City, the capital of D Province.

Amused by the lady-like appearance of Dou Ya, Xia Xiaoluo burst into laughter, “Dou Ya, how could you bear that long dress and such high heeled shoes?”

“I’m willing to wear like this. Xiaoluo, don’t you think that I am beautiful?” Dou Ya kept making poses in front of the mirror, from which she could see Ouyang Ziqian’s reaction secretly.

To her disappointment, Ouyang Ziqian didn’t notice her at all. Neither did he praise her delicate dressing up for hours, nor did he even pay any attention to or talk to her. Following his gaze, she found that he was keeping looking at her good friend, Xia Xiaoluo.

“Humph! I don’t even bother myself to look at you! Look at me! Do I look handsome?” Having changed her old stupid-looking haircut, Xia Xiaoluo looked vigorous and smart in a light-colored suit.

“Are you two ladies satisfied?” Finally, Ouyang Ziqian asked with a smile.

Looking at Ouyang Ziqian, Dou Ya thought in her heart, “I dressed up like this for nothing but to attract your attention. How can I be satisfied if you don’t even look at me at all?”

However, Dou Ya didn’t express her disappointment, she still said happily, “I’ve never dressed up so beautifully since my childhood!”

“You are beautiful. But you just didn’t pay attention to dressing up yourself in daily life. Now you’ve only dressed up yourself a little, and you are looking so beautiful. Just as you said in the car, you are really a fair lady after dressing up like this now.” Ouyang Ziqian said with a smile.

Such a few words pleased Dou Ya so much that she could even remember them for the rest of her life.

“Now that Dou Ya is a fair lady, then I am a gentleman!” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.

“Xiaoluo, actually, a little black dress could be more suitable for your new haircut. But it will be more appropriate if you want to dress up like a smart office lady. I’ll give you a thumb-up!” Then Ouyang Ziqian asked anxiously, “Xiaoluo, you have been exhausted for such a long time. Are you all right?”

“I’m just fine! Don’t worry, Ouyang Senior. I’m OK”. In fact, Xia Xiaoluo used to live a tough life since her childhood, so she did not care much about it. After all, Ouyang Ziqian thought it must be harmful to a woman who just had a miscarriage. Xia Xiaoluo ran out of the hospital on her own after only two- or three-days’ rest there. It was not good for her health.

“Let’s find a place to let Xiaoluo have a rest?” Dou Ya suggested.

“But I’m so hungry now!” Xia Xiaoluo touched her stomach. She was always easier to feel hungry than ordinary people, she didn’t know why.

Dou Ya and Xia Xiaoluo both looked at Ouyang Ziqian. Ouyang Ziqian said at once, “It was my fault, letting two ladies do the hairstyle with starvation after rus.h.i.+ng around all the time. Actually, there is some delicious food in this hotel we are living in. Do you two beauties prefer Chinese food or Western food?”

“Xiaoluo, you decide it. Which one do you prefer?” Dou Ya asked. But she wanted to eat Western food because she has never tasted it.

Xia Xiaoluo knew what was on Dou Ya’s mind. She absolutely wouldn’t disappoint Dou Ya. Because Dou Ya abandoned her job and came a long way to take care of her. “We dressed nicely today, it is suitable for us to eat Western food.”

“Yeah, right! We must make good use of the fas.h.i.+onable style which spent the masters so much time!” Dou Ya said immediately.

“Here we go!” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.

They went to the western restaurant on the top floor of the hotel. Through the all-gla.s.s rooftop, when night falls, not only the night scene of T City but also the stars in the sky could be seen.

As a matter of fact, Xia Xiaoluo was so familiar with the western food. She has been working in the Wisner Western Restaurant for more than a month, learned a lot from the chef. When they were eating, she kept introducing the dishes to Ouyang Ziqian and Dou Ya. She explained how to make the dishes, even the origin of the food clearly.

“Xiaoluo, I only know that you are good at cooking. But when did you know how to make western food?” Dou Ya asked suspiciously.

“Have you forgotten? I’ve worked in a western restaurant for more than a month, I learned it from the chef there.” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile. She was clever. As long as she was not at school, she could learn everything quickly, especially she was good at cooking, dancing, knitting and something like that.

“Humph! Working for a month, just for knitting a sweater for your miserable husband, it’s not worth it!” Dou Ya complained about it for Xia Xiaoluo. She knew that Xia Xiaoluo spent almost a month’s salary on Ling Tianyi’s birthday present. She was surprised at Xia Xiaoluo’s generosity at that time because Xia Xiaoluo was always stingy.

When Dou Ya mentioned Ling Tianyi, Xia Xiaoluo’s eyes suddenly lost the l.u.s.ter. Not knowing why, she has left Ling Tianyi, but she missed him so much. She knew clearly that Ling Tianyi and Cheng Yalin were the heaven-made match and she should not have get involved, but she was reluctant to leave Ling Tianyi.

Xia Xiaoluo always felt inferior. Cheng Yalin was elegant, while she was awkward; Cheng Yalin obtained a master degree as a designer, while she failed all her exams; Cheng Yalin and Ling Tianyi used to be campus couple, they must love each other very much, while her marriage with Ling Tianyi was nothing but a farce since the very beginning of their meeting.

“By the way, Xiaoluo, do you know anything about the red wine?” Ouyang Ziqian changed the topic. He was reluctant to see Xia Xiaoluo’s sadness.

“I don’t know about it. I didn’t have enough time to learn it!” Xia Xiaoluo said.

“Ouyang, why don’t you tell us something about it? It sounds like that you know it well!” Dou Ya helped Ouyang Ziqian to change the topic.

Ouyang Ziqian began to talk about the red wine at once, but he didn’t go into great depth. Instead, he told many short stories. In just a few minutes, he attracted Xia Xiaoluo’s attention successfully.

They had dinner together happily, and near the end of the meal, a waiter brought the chicken soup to them.

“Xiaoluo, I don’t know what kind of tonic should I arrange for you, so I asked them to prepare the stewed black-bone chicken soup.” Ouyang Ziqian said awkwardly, because he didn’t know how to talk about the miscarriage with Xia Xiaoluo. He didn’t mind it at all. He still liked her, but he didn’t know how to talk about it with Xia Xiaoluo. He was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would be embarra.s.sed.

“Xiaoluo, just take it!” Dou Ya pa.s.sed the chicken soup to Xia Xiaoluo directly.

Xia Xiaoluo didn’t know how to get recovered after the miscarriage either, but it was good for her to have a bowl of chicken soup. Now that Ouyang Ziqian arranged this, she could only take it with grat.i.tude, so she drank it. Moreover, she did not eat so much western food just now, so having a bowl of chicken soup after the meal made her feel better.

Seeing that Xia Xiaoluo drank up the chicken soup, Ouyang Ziqian and Dou Ya were relieved. They both cared about Xia Xiaoluo sincerely. They were afraid that Xia Xiaoluo would have an uncured illness due to the miscarriage.

When they were still chatting in the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel, Ling Tianyi arrived at the lobby of the same hotel. Chu Wei called the person in charge of the hotel immediately. Although this top hotel in T City was not owned by Ling Tianyi, he was the cla.s.smate of the boss here and they had a lot of business contacts.

“Hum! Ouyang Ziqian, you dare to abduct Xia Xiaoluo, and now I will punish you!” Ling Tianyi said furiously when he heard that Xia Xiaoluo was brought here by Ouyang Ziqian.

“Manager Ling, I’m afraid that it’s not a good idea to punish Ouyang Ziqian. On the one hand, the Ouyang’s family is no less powerful than Huasheng Group, they just invested less in A City; on the other hand, your wife misunderstood you because she thought that you beat Chu Tong up last time. Now, if you fight against Ouyang Ziqian, your wife might be unhappier.” Chu Wei said, he called Xia Xiaoluo “your wife,” because he might be the one who knew it clearly that how deep Ling Tianyi loved Xia Xiaoluo.

“You’re right, no more misunderstandings. I’ll tell Xiaoluo that I didn’t beat up Chu Tong, and that I won’t fight with Ouyang Ziqian.” Ling Tianyi clenched his fists. He had to hold it back. Even though he wanted to beat Ouyang Ziqian up, he couldn’t do it. What he concerned most now was to avoid making misunderstandings and clarify all the misunderstandings made. Only in this way could he succeed in bringing Xia Xiaoluo back home.

After all, he was a big man in A City, he was the cla.s.smate and business partner of the owner of this hotel as well. So he not only knew that Xia Xiaoluo lived here, but also knew that Ouyang Ziqian, Dou Ya and Xia Xiaoluo were having dinner in the western restaurant on the top floor.

Ling Tianyi was in a terrible mood, he was not satisfied with Ouyang Ziqian especially. Because Xia Xiaoluo needed to eat something nutritious, why did Ouyang Ziqian take Xia Xiaoluo to eat western food here?

But when he went to the western restaurant, he didn’t find Xia Xiaoluo directly. He was somehow coward, he didn’t know why.

Xia Xiaoluo cut her hair short, she looked cute and vigorous. Ling Tianyi thought that she wanted to cut off her feelings with him, but in fact Xia Xiaoluo only did this to avoid the monitoring probes. Ling Tianyi felt depressed as if his heart was broken into pieces.

Seeing that they were satisfied with the food and drink and they wanted to have a rest, Ling Tianyi was curious about Ouyang Ziqian’s arrangement suddenly. They would not live in one room, right?

Facts proved that Ling Tianyi thought too much. Ouyang Ziqian sent Xia Xiaoluo and Dou Ya to a suite and talked with them for a while, and then he went back to his room. He was a typical gentleman.

“Manager Ling, do you want to go to find your wife?” Chu Wei asked.

“Let Xiaoluo have a rest first!” He saw that Xia Xiaoluo was exhausted under the cover of her pretty make-up. Xia Xiaoluo has not slept well these days, if he came into the room at this moment, she wouldn’t have the chance to have a rest.

Although Ling Tianyi wanted to stay with Xia Xiaoluo, to embrace her and amuse her, he would rather choose to bear the torment even for one more night for the sake of her health.

Xia Xiaoluo was tired, so she fell asleep the moment she lay on the bed. But she didn’t know that outside her room, Ling Tianyi was standing there, he has stayed up late for many days. He dared not to disturb her easily, he dared not to leave as well. He was afraid that just for one second of being ignorant, Xia Xiaoluo would disappear again. This feeling almost drove him crazy these days. He was scared, so scared…
