Chapter 356 - I Will Accept You (2/2)

”I'm going to check up on Rainy.” She just stood up when Gao Yi pulled her tight, making sit in her original position.

”She's fine. She's sleeping now. Ruoxin, are you running away again?” Gao Yi had no intention of letting her go again. Every time they came across this topic, she would escape like this. He had given her enough time.

Their lives now, other than sleeping on the same bed and the marriage certificate, they were like husband and wife.

”Gao Yi… I…” Xia Ruoxin bit her red lips. Gao Yi placed his thumb on her lips. ”Stop biting. It'll hurt.” His thumb grazed against her lips, and then—without warning—he lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers. He didn't make a further move, and they just sensed each other's breathing.

Xia Ruoxin widened her eyes suddenly. She didn't even dare to breathe.

”You don't have to be so nervous.” Gao Yi moved away from her lips, placing a hand on her shoulder as he coaxed gently. ”Ruoxin, you can trust me completely. You know that I've always been waiting for you, and I will continue to do so. I will give you time to think through all the things in your past. I know you still have issues and doubts, but I'll wait for the day when you overcome them all. Trust me, I really don't care about any of your past. I will accept you no matter what kind of woman you are.”

”Gao Yi…” Xia Ruoxin clutched tightly at his arm, only his name slipping out of her mouth. She still had so many things she hadn't told him, so many. She was afraid that he would come to hate her and was afraid that she wouldn't have the courage.

”Okay, Ruoxin. Believe me.” Gao Yi embraced Xia Ruoxin in his arms, mending everything in her past with his heart. He knew that she had suffered a lot so she needed more time and more care from him.

”Let's eat. I don't want to waste your efforts.” He picked up his chopsticks but didn't let go of Xia Ruoxin. He started eating, and he fed Xia Ruoxin in between bites. They really acted like a married couple who had been in love for years, but they both knew that, in fact, they weren't. There was still a huge wall between them, making it hard to close the gap between them.

It had just been an idea to prevent Rainy from getting hurt, but now, no one would believe them if they said it was all fake. No one, including them. As for Gao Yi, it was what he wanted.

Rainy walked out rubbing her eyes with the doll in her hands. She was barefoot and yawned constantly.

”Daddy, Mommy. Rainy is hungry. I wanna eat.” She had smelt the aroma of food and wanted to eat now.

Gao Yi lifted Rainy into his arms. She had really gained weight, but she was still small.

”What do you want to eat, Rainy? Daddy will feed you.” He rubbed Rainy's soft hair and asked her.

Rainy shook her head fervently. ”Rainy doesn't want Uncle to feed her. Teacher said before to do things yourself because Rainy is almost four.” She stretched her slender thumb up. She had grown up and wanted to eat on her own. If she was still being fed by the adults, the rest of the kids would laugh at her.

”Okay, eat on your own. What a cheeky kid.” Gao Yi lifted her off his legs and placed her between himself and Xia Ruoxin. Xia Ruoxin handed her a spoon and watched as she started to feed herself clumsily.

Her small hand could barely hold onto the spoon, but she was so cute that it made her heart ache.
