Chapter 363 - Somethings Wrong (2/2)
”Of course, I like it. This color is exactly what I like.” Gao Yi ran his fingers over the shirt lightly. The soft fabric and the plain color fit his usual style perfectly.
”That's great.” Xia Ruoxin heaved a sigh of relief. It was better to have bought a more fitting gift than a more expensive one, but what's more important was the thought behind it. Of course, this shirt wasn't that cheap either.
”I'll try it on.” Gao Yi stood up and was prepared to unbutton his shirt. Xia Ruoxin's jaw dropped, and she hurriedly looked the other way. It was inappropriate to look even though it was not like she hadn't seen it before.
Gao Yi chuckled. ”I'll go in and change.” He knew that her face would be as red as a ripe tomato if he changed there. She was already a mother, but she wore her heart on her sleeve. She was really as cute as her daughter.
He walked in and took off his clothes, putting on the shirt. It fitted him perfectly.
He opened the door and leaned against it. ”Don't worry, it fits me a lot.” That casual look was very appealing. He could give off the comfortable aura of a spring breeze forever, without any pressure as long as he wanted to.
He walked over to Xia Ruoxin's side and then bent down slightly so he was eye-level with her. ”Ruoxin, it's been a long time since someone has bought me a shirt. I'm really happy.” He placed his hand on her face and stroked gently. ”Would you buy me my shirts forever? I'll pay for it.” He said half-jokingly as he broke out into a smile, but there was a seriousness underlying it.
Xia Ruoxin was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how to answer.
Forever was a long time. She wasn't sure if she could do it.
”Don't worry. I won't pressure you. I'll give you time.” Gao Yi was slightly disappointed, but he still smiled. He said that he would give her time to consider, no matter how long.
Moreover, he believed that she wouldn't make him wait for a very long time.
She had already told him everything about her, which means that she had started to trust in him. It was also her first step to opening her heart.
Xia Ruoxin nodded and looked at the buttons on his shirt. She reached a hand out to button one he had left unbuttoned. Gao Yi leaned further in to give her access, his smiling eyes as warm as the sun.

At the dining table, Song Wan's eyes darted between her son and Li Manni, feeling something was not quite right. Even though her son was as expressionless as always, he looked more indifferent than before.
As for Li Manni, all she did was eat her rice tastelessly, not even touching the side dishes.
”Mom, Dad, I'm going to work.” Chu Lui put down the bowl in his hands and stood up. He looked at his watch. It was almost time. If not for his parents' sudden visit, he would have left ages ago.
”Ah Lui, hold on a minute. We need to talk.” Song Wan stood up hurriedly and pulled her son to the side before asking. ”Ah Lui, did you quarrel with Manni?” She knew her son well. No matter how calm he appeared, they could tell that something was up between the couple from his eyes.
