Chapter 336 - She had a Father (1/2)

Many parents had brought their children along for registration day in the kindergarten. Xia Ruoxin was the only single-parent there. It was a semi-boarding school, targeting students with an aristocratic background. Parents only needed to pick their children up from school at the end of the day.

The teacher stared in astonishment at the short-haired girl standing before her as she praised the child's good looks on more than one occasion. She even said that the little girl might even be the most beautiful child in the whole kindergarten.

Once the teacher had laid her eyes on the mother, the fact became apparent to her. It was no wonder that the child was so beautiful. Her good genes came from her mother. However, the little girl looked much prettier than her mother. The teacher was curious about her father's looks. Judging from their attire, the father must be someone affluent.

”Hi, little girl. Can you tell me your name?” She tried to sound as gentle as possible. Children generally responded better with that tone of voice.

”Rainy.” Rainy smiled shyly as she said her own name.

”Rainy. That is such a nice name.” The teacher flashed a gentler smile. ”Rainy, why isn't your father here with you today?”

Xia Ruoxin was filling up the particulars on the registration form, and her hand started shaking. She had been so concerned with filling her own name in the mother's column. However, she did not know what to write in the father's. It was still blank because her daughter had no father.

Rainy held Xia Ruoxin's hand. Her eyes reddened. She had no father, only a mother.

”Oh…” The teacher was awkward all of a sudden. Had she asked a question that she wasn't supposed to be asking?

”Mommy, I think she doesn't have a father.” A little girl dressed like a princess was pouting as she stood beside them. At such a young age, she had already learned to compare. She did not like being inferior to that girl who was prettier than herself. Even that girl's hair was obviously more beautiful than hers.

”I'm so sorry. My child is ignorant. Please don't take it to heart.” The child's mother said as she smiled apologetically. Yet, anyone could have easily seen that there was no remorse in her eyes. They were only a single mother with her daughter. What use was it that her daughter had been blessed with good looks? The mother couldn't even keep her husband. She was such a loser.

Xia Ruoxin gripped her daughter's hand tight. Rainy's reddened eyes caused one's heart to ache for her. However, Xia Ruoxin was powerless to do anything. Should they give up on this school and go to another one?

A huge shadow fell on her face as she began to loosen her grip. She looked up and saw a man who had carried her daughter.

Tears shimmered in her eyes. Why was he here? He said he wasn't coming because he had a surgery.

”I'm sorry. My daughter has a shy personality; she's not very talkative.” Gao Yi rubbed Rainy's head, and then he scooped her up into his arms. He knew that she must have had a tough time today. Don't be afraid. Daddy's here.

He patted Rainy's back gently and took the pen from Xia Ruoxin's hand. On the registration form containing Rainy's particulars, he filled in his name under the father's column. There was the smell of dust and a light scent of disinfectant liquid coming from his body. His bloodshot eyes proved that he had rushed to get here immediately after his surgery.

”Oh. Hi, how are you?” The teacher looked even more embarrassed, obviously deeply ashamed of her earlier assumption. This man might not be dashing, but he had a carefree and easy feel unlike anyone she had ever met. All in all, he was an attractive family man, and she liked him a lot. It was a pity that he was already attached with such a grown-up child.
