Chapter 328 - Not Letting Her Go to School (2/2)

”Okay.” Xia Ruoxin nodded. It would be such a waste if she didn't eat them. In the past, she and Rainy always had to struggle to make ends meet. So, she must not waste food.

However, when she lowered her head about to start eating, she was stumped. The dishes had piled so high on her bowl that it resembled a small mountain.

It seemed to her that Gao Yi was feeding her like she was a pig.

See, she had gained so much weight recently. Even Rainy had become a chubby kid now. Her daughter could no longer fit into her old clothes.

”Ruoxin, is Rainy three years old?” Gao Yi lay his chopsticks down and rested both his hands on the table as he asked.

”Yes, she's three. Oh, that's incorrect. She's three years and two months old.” Xia Ruoxin blurted her daughter's age without much thought. It showed how qualified she was as a mother.

”Oh, three years old.” Gao Yi's hand went under his chin and stroked gently. ”Ruoxin, I think it's time for Rainy to go to school. She is an extremely intelligent girl. Maybe, you have given birth to a child prodigy.”

He had truly tested Rainy and found that she had an exceptionally good memory. She could also recognize the letters really quickly. From his guess, this child had a very high IQ. This was also the reason why she should receive a proper education.

”Go to school?” Xia Ruoxin's hand paused. She, too, laid her chopsticks down, and her hand rested on her head. Her hair had started to grow, and it wasn't very nice, but Gao Yi was so used to looking at her that he did not find it weird.

What about the others?

”Go to school…” She kept repeating his words. A look of pain appeared in her eyes. No, she didn't want to. She didn't want her daughter to take after her.

”I'm sorry. I can't.” She lowered her head, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating again. The food tasted so delicious, but now, they taste bland as though someone had added bitter medication.

Gao Yi's thick eyebrows began to frown. He stood and rested a hand on her shoulder. ”Ruoxin, this is not the way to have your meals. If you don't feel like eating, you should stop forcing yourself.”

He took her chopsticks and lay it down. Her eyebrows were knitted together with worry. He did not know why she was so against the idea of Rainy attending school. The child was at that age when she should start school. She was always alone. She should have a bunch of children her age to play with. That would definitely help her blossom into a cheerful child.

”Ruoxin, look.” Gao Yi asked Xia Ruoxin to look at her daughter who was playing alone with her doll. ”Do you want her to play alone with her doll forever? You may not know, but Rainy is actually a very lonely child. If you let her go to school, it will have huge effects on her character. Besides, she will be going to school in the day. You can still see her at night.

”You can rest assured that I will find her the best school with the best teachers. I won't allow anyone to ill-treat Rainy. You will find that she really loves to go to school.”

Xia Ruoxin was adamant, and she kept shaking her head to make her point. He was surprised to see tears falling on the back of her hands. She was crying. Was she that reluctant to let her daughter go?

Yet, a day would come when she had to go to school. A child would grow up to go to school and to leave his or her parents. One should learn to let go in order to let them grow.

”Ruoxin, don't be like this. We can't keep Rainy by our side forever.” Both his hands were gripping tightly on her shoulders.
