Chapter 380 - Refusal (2/2)

All she wanted was a peaceful life, not his money. She didn't want anything that belonged to him. She just wanted him to stay away from her and Rainy's lives and to make sure that other people did not interfere with their lives.

”Ruoxin, you really don't want it? Do you know what this means?” Gao Yi waved the letter in his hand. ”You will become a rich woman on the same level as Chu Lui. You won't have to worry about a place to stay or food to eat. You'll be the envy of everyone.”

Xia Ruoxin took the paper from his hand and placed it on the table heavily.

”Are you depriving me of food or lodging now? Or are you making me work to support us?”

”No,” Gao Yi answered honestly. He bought groceries every day and never let the mother and daughter go hungry. Of course, he never went hungry, too.

”Then why do I need this? I'm not lacking anything now.” That world was not as wonderful as it seemed. She had stayed there before and experienced it. There were too many schemes and too much darkness. Fighting for fame and fortune would only make people lose sight of themselves.

Like her mother. Like Li Manni. Also, she knew better than anyone that if she took the money, their lives would be in danger.

She wouldn't accept it. She turned around and pressed her hand against the paper.

”I don't want to become like Li Manni. I don't want to be as scary as her. I just want my daughter to grow up healthily.” Gao Yi held her hand.

”Don't forget about me. It's not your daughter, but our Rainy. I have a part to play, too.”

Gao Yi his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace. ”Ruoxin, Rainy calls me Daddy now. I'm waiting for the day you to accept me.” He stretched his hand out and tossed the form for the transfer of assets on the floor. They didn't need those things. There were some happiness that money couldn't buy.

”Gao Yi, I didn't have a good reputation.”

”It's okay. I know that's not the real you.”

”Gao Yi, I might not be able to conceive again.” Xia Ruoxin hung her head low, her face slightly pale.

”Ruoxin, have you forgotten?” Gao Yi hugged her tighter. ”I'm a doctor. I know your body's condition very well. I don't care whether you can conceive or not. If we do have a baby, then that's a bonus gift the heavens blessed us with.

”If not, we still have Rainy. I got such a cute daughter without doing anything. It's like a one-for-one sale. I'm on the winning end here.

”Don't you agree?” He pressed his forehead lightly against Xia Ruoxin.

”And don't think of me as a good guy. I'm not that good or nice. I admit that I made you stay here on purpose from the beginning. I dug a hole for you to jump into. I want you, and I want Rainy as my daughter.

”Do you still think I'm a good person?

”I'm manipulative, too, so I'm really not as good as you think I am.”

Xia Ruoxin squeezed Gao Yi's hand. This was what she always wanted—a safe home, a child, and a husband who loved her.
