314 She wasnst Afraid (2/2)

”Mommy, kiss me, too.” Rainy's eyes turned into a pair of crescents, and the smile made her the more adorable.

”Okay.” Xia Ruoxin kissed her daughter's little fair cheek gently. Finally, Rainy went back into Gao Yi's arms. She then proceeded to plant a kiss on his face, too.

Gao Yi merely caressed her cheek with a warm smile on his face.

”Uncle, you have not kissed me yet.” She offered her pinkish cheek to him.

”Okay, I'll kiss you.” Gao Yi teased as the child was throwing a tantrum. After that, he kissed her on her little face.

”Uncle, you have not kissed Mommy.” She pointed her finger towards Xia Ruoxin who was standing by the side. Both Gao Yi and Xia Ruoxin froze in awkwardness. It was different for them. They were a grown man and a grown woman, not children.

A look of melting gentleness flashed across Gao Yi's eyes. He was totally willing to do it.

He leaned closer to Xia Ruoxin and, once more, caught her blushing a light shade of pink on her face. It surprised him that a mother, who had had a child, could blush so easily.

As it turned out, both mother and daughter were equally adorable.

Gao Yi's face magnified as he came closer and closer to her until she could see make out his extremely long eyelashes, and his tall and straight nose.

When Gao Yi's breaths sprayed onto her face, she shrunk her body ever so slightly. However, she did not make any attempt to avoid him. He was doing it because her daughter had asked him to. Moreover, she realized she did not dislike the idea of him coming closer to her.

There was a thick scent of masculinity on him. It smelled clean, and there weren't much other scents on him other than the light fragrance of the shower gel. It was actually quite pleasant.

Gao Yi touched her cheek lightly with his lips. As he looked up at her, a faint smile lit his face.

She was nervous.

He did not stay for long and left soon after because he was worried that she might pass out from being too anxious.

”Okay, Rainy. I have kissed you. Let's go for our surgery.” He took her tiny hand in his.

Then, he turned around and reached out with his other hand.

”Walk with us, Ruoxin.” This wasn't the first time he had called her by her given name. Yet, each time he did, it would send a wave of emotions through her heart. She reached out, and Gao Yi gripped her hand tightly. He noticed her hand was cold and sweaty, and he sighed softly. On the outside, she said she wasn't anxious. In reality, she was on the edge. Her body was stiff with nervousness. He wasn't concerned about Rainy, but he was worried about her. He was afraid that she would pass out outside the operating theater because she was too terrified.

”Don't worry. We will be out soon.” Gao Yi held Xia Ruoxin's hands as he comforted her once again. This woman was too stressed. She needed to rest properly.

”Mmm.” She agreed with her reddened eyes. She might have promised him, but she just couldn't stop worrying.

At this moment, she was not as brave as Rainy who was constantly playing with the buttons on Gao Yi's shirt. She was the only one who was beside herself with all the worrying.

Now, a team of doctors had gathered outside the operating theater as they waited for them.
