Chapter 336 - She had a Father (2/2)
One could easily see his love for the child. He was a good father who also made him a good husband. She was envious of the woman who had a happy family.
The family that had stood before Xia Ruoxin had walked away in disgraced. They felt inferior in comparison to her family and were somewhat embarrassed.
”Mommy, did she not have a father? Why is she having one now?” The chattering voice of the little girl from earlier could be heard.
”Ouch. Mommy, stop pinching me. It hurts!”
After that, it seemed that the child's mouth was being covered. The child's mother's face had turned green. Her daughter had not known how humiliating it was for them.
Gao Yi set Rainy down onto the ground. He rested his hand on top of her head. It's alright. Everything is fine now.
Rainy raised her head and stared at Gao Yi. Both her eyes were still red. Uncle was Daddy—her daddy. She hugged Gao Yi's thigh.
”Daddy,” she called out in a small voice. It struck a chord in Gao Yi's heart. Xia Ruoxin's eyes began to tear up as she felt the pain in her heart. Rainy might not talk much about having a father, but that did not mean that she had not needed or thought of having one.
”Yes, Daddy is here.” Gao Yi's hand was resting at the top of Rainy's head. At last, he looked at Xia Ruoxin. Her reddened eyes caused his heart to ache. From the way she looked, she must have been bullied earlier. If only he had arrived sooner.
How could he not worry about this woman?
It was evident that she was a woman whom he would always be worrying about.
”Gao Yi, I…” Xia Ruoxin wanted to say something, but she stopped herself when she saw Gao Yi shook his head. He was implying to her that it was not the time and that Rainy was more important. It suddenly dawned on Xia Ruoxin, and she nodded to signal that she had understood him. Their child was going to start schooling soon, and they shouldn't let the little girl have any second thoughts.
The classroom in the kindergarten was beautifully decorated in bright and extremely interesting colors and filled with things that a child would like. The teacher stood in front of the classroom while she explained the different kinds of arrangements that the school had made, from the children's education to life in school. Everything was done very well to perfection. From the parents' point of view, the school would be lightening their otherwise busy schedule. One could see from their relaxed expressions that they were very satisfied.
Rainy was sitting on Gao Yi's lap. There was no particular reason why he had chosen this school. It was simply because this school was the closest to their home. He could swing by to pick Rainy up from school after work and so could Xia Ruoxin.
He took Xia Ruoxin's hand in his. ”What do you think? Do you feel assured?” he asked, seeking her opinion. If she was not satisfied, he could always find another school.
Xia Ruoxin stared while he held her hand. There was no objection from her. She never knew how to reject him. Besides, there were many people around, and he was right. Their priority was the child.
”There's no need to. This place is great.” There was nothing that she disliked about the school. It was well-equipped with everything that a child would need. Rainy was constantly looking around in curiosity, scrutinizing the place. Other than the initial minor interlude which had caused her some unhappiness, she seemed to be in high spirits.
