Chapter 338 - Tried to Believe (1/2)
The car came to a stop. Gao Yi carried Rainy out from within and made his way towards his apartment. He opened the door.
He inhaled hard through his nose.
”It smells so good!”
”It smells so good!”
The two voices said in unison.
”Little imp. When did you learn to talk like me?”
He pinched Rainy's little nose while she hugged his neck, laughing. In fact, there was nothing for her to learn because that was what he would say every time he came through that door.
Xia Ruoxin heard the door opened, and she came out from the kitchen. Rainy jumped down from Gao Yi's arms and ran towards her as fast as her tiny feet could.
”Mommy, Uncle and I are hungry.” The moment she came back, she started to complain to Xia Ruoxin while she hugged both her mother's legs.
Gao Yi stood by the doorway in ease.
”Oh, yes. We are starving,” he said jokingly to match Rainy's childish mannerism.
”Dinner will be ready soon. Rainy, please wait for a bit more.” Xia Ruoxin smiled gently as she pinched her daughter's chubby cheeks. The little girl had regained the weight she lost when she was sick. Xia Ruoxin looked at her daughter who had become more adorable. She might not be fat enough, but she was a healthy child now.
Xia Ruoxin had done all the preparations. After all, it was her job to feed these two mouths now.
Gao Yi came over and placed the doll into Rainy's hands. ”Rainy, go and play. Let me help Mommy.”
Rainy nodded her head hard and sat obediently at a side, playing her doll.
The strong fragrance from the kitchen earlier had caused Gao Yi's stomach to rumble even more. He could feel it. ”I realized that I have grown so accustomed to your cooking that the outside food no longer appeals to me.” He picked a plate up and sniffed hard at the dish. Haha. This was the smell that he had missed the whole day. He had really struck gold.
”I can bring you lunch if you feel like eating.” Xia Ruoxin looked up at him as she suggested. He was unwilling to let her do anything because he was worried that she would be tired. He didn't allow her to work for fear of worsening the condition of her left arm. However, she was not as fragile as he thought. If she continued to live this lifestyle, she was afraid that she would truly become a handicap.
”You will be tired.” Gao Yi reached out and tucked her hair. Look, she had only cooked a few dishes, and she was already covered in sweat. If he let her find a job, wouldn't she be exhausted?
Xia Ruoxin pulled his hand down helplessly. ”Gao Yi, I'm not tired. I am feeling hot. There is definitely nothing wrong with me. Trust me. Okay? I can bring you lunch.”
Don't be so uptight. She had finally come through the hard times from the past. Her life now, compared to how she had lived previously, was certainly much better. She was truly content, and she always wanted to do something more for him because he had done so much for Rainy and her.
