Chapter 327 - Everything Will Be Alright (1/2)

”Ruoxin, do you know that you've done very well today? You may not have walked out of your past completely, but you have been very brave. Trust me. One day, you will be able to find your own happiness.”

His fingers shifted lower to her knitted eyebrows. ”Also, don't keep frowning. You are not that old. If you continue like this, you will become an old hag.”

With his words of wisdom, Xia Ruoxin finally exhaled. She tried to relax. Gradually, under the guidance of his fingers, her knitted eyebrows started to relax.

He was serious. She could walk out of her past. Whatever happened in the past should remain in the past because her current life was good. It was really good.

”Gao Yi, thank you very much,” she said, so full of gratitude for the man who had helped her enormously. A simple 'thank you' sounded so weak. Even two did not suffice. Yet, this was what she could offer now.

If Chu Lui had kicked her into hell, Gao Yi had brought her to heaven.

He was the reason why she could have what she had now. She did not lose her daughter or her life.

”There you go again.” Gao Yi rested his hand on her head and rubbed. The wig was not as nice as her real hair. However, it would grow soon. ”I will be asking for my rewards. You will know soon enough.” He smiled as though he had an ulterior motive, but it did not send fear to her. Instead, she felt secure.

”Mmm, I will agree to whatever you want.” Xia Ruoxin clenched her hands. She had meant what she said. She would give him whatever he asked. Anything.

”Alright, let's not talk about this. Get in the car. I'm hungry. I want to eat something that you cooked.” Gao Yi smiled brightly as he led Xia Ruoxin into the car. The smile on his face widened even more.

Ruoxin, I will wait for the day when you are ready to fulfill your promise. What if I said I want the key to your heart?

He started the car. With regard to that, he would fight for it with his own hands. She must be willing, too. He did not want her to do it out of gratitude or to fulfill her promise. He wanted her to do it because it was him.

The view in the distance grew smaller and smaller as they drove further away. It seemed that the past had truly left them this time. Everything was in the past, whether it was a person or a thing. It had gone far away. Whatever remained was different from the way it used to be.

…

Gao Yi put the newspaper down while he sat on the sofa. Rainy was sitting at the other end barefoot, playing with her doll attentively. He had bought her many dolls, but her favorite was still the one that Xia Ruoxin had bought her. She would only play or cuddle with this one.

In the future, this little imp would be faithful towards everything she does.

The sound of utensils banding and clanging could be heard coming from the kitchen. That woman was busy cooking to feed their hungry stomachs.

He got to his feet. Things were laying on the floor as well as Xia Ruoxin's belongings from her old apartment that she had yet to unpack. He walked over and flipped through the bags casually. The contents included a few pieces of old clothing. The colors on some were faded from the many washes over time. Some belonged to her while there were a few which were Rainy's. He picked one which was a small sweater. He looked at the sweater and then at Rainy. She became chubbier so it obviously was too small for her now.

It couldn't be worn. He tossed it aside and picked up another one. It was an adult's; a grayish-white blouse which was very clean after wash. However, it also had clearly been worn for a long period of time. His eyes roamed around the blouse. At the top of the blouse, there were some small stitches. His hands clenched over the blouse as a look of pain flashed over his face.
