182 Beautiful Doll (1/2)

”It's nice.” Rainy licked at the cone, and she offered it to Xia Ruoxin. ”Mommy, have some.”

Xia Ruoxin pretended with a look of dislike. ”That is very sweet. Rainy likes it, but Mommy doesn't.”

Rainy slanted her head curiously, and then she continued to lick the cone. It was so yummy; adults were so weird.

Xia Ruoxin held her daughter tight as they stood outside a shopping mall. Rainy was constantly peeping at the incredibly beautiful doll behind the display window. It really looked pretty with long eyelashes and a mini-skirt.

She had not had one yet.

She bit her lip and lowered her head. She really, really wanted it.

”Rainy, tell Mommy. Do you really like that doll?” Xia Ruoxin pointed at the doll in the display window as she asked her daughter, who had a look of yearning on her face.

Her eyes had not left the doll since the beginning.

She walked closer until she saw the price on the price tag. She made an inward sigh. The doll might be pretty, but it had cost more than she had thought. It was almost equivalent to her two months' salary.

”No, Mommy. I don't like it. Let's go.” She buried her head on top of Xia Ruoxin's shoulder, not giving that doll another glance.

Xia Ruoxin caressed her daughter's hair and walked away. An obvious look of disappointment appeared in Rainy's eyes after she left. Yet, she bit her lip.

Actually, she had wanted to tell her mother that she really liked it.

Xia Ruoxin turned around and gave the doll another look. It's true that even from a distance, the doll was the prettiest among the many. Little girls had always been drawn to pretty dolls; her Rainy was no exception. She recalled that she also had one when she was young. It had been her treasure even though it was a worn-out doll that Xia Yixuan had not wanted.
