Chapter 384 - Her Daughter Was Taken (2/2)

”Let's sleep.” Gao Yi's fingers brushed her face lightly. ”Sweet dreams.”

”Okay.” Xia Ruoxin's red lips parted. Her smile was extremely gentle, and in the dim indoor lights, it sparkled vividly like colored glass.

The door closed with a creak. Her heart was beating fast against her chest, and she felt inexplicable warmth. She laid on the bed, grabbed her daughter's small hand, and then stuffed the doll in her arms again in case she started crying in the morning for not being able to find it.

That night, she slept soundly. She had never slept so peacefully without a dream since years ago.

”Mommy…” Rainy shook Xia Ruoxin. She rubbed her eyes while holding onto her doll with the other hand.

”Hmm?” She squinted and climbed down the bed carefully. She opened the door with the doll still in her hands and walked out groggily, but someone lifted her up off the ground.

”What's wrong?” Gao Yi pinched the girl's face, which was red from sleeping. Was she sleepwalking?

Rainy rubbed her eyes with one hand and pursed her lips.

”Daddy, I wanna pee. Mommy's not waking up.”

”Hush.” Gao Yi put a finger to his lips. ”Mommy is tired so let her sleep. Daddy will take you there,” he said and carried her to the toilet. He opened the door and brought the sleepy Rainy in.

She almost fell asleep when she raised her head, and her eyes widened.

”Awake?” Gao Yi patted her cheeks.

What speed. She slept and woke up like it was nothing. Children were really pure and weren't preoccupied with thoughts, unlike adults who worried too much, slept late, and had more dreams.

”Daddy, Mr. Sun is out.” Rainy narrowed her eyes and pointed outside excitedly. She pressed her face to Gao Yi's cheeks, her curved and smiling eyes turning golden gradually.

”Wanna go out and see Mr. Sun?” Gao Yi asked Rainy. The morning air was fresh, and so it was a good time to go for a walk. It was the weekend, and Rainy didn't have school.

”Yes.” Rainy nodded emphatically, but she struggled and jumped down from Gao Yi's arms.

”Daddy, I wanna brush my teeth and wash my face.” She cupped her face. She was a pretty lass, and she was against heading out dirty without washing her face and brushing her teeth.

Gao Yi bent down and tidied her bed head. Her hair had grown slightly longer.

”Let's go.” He stood up and pulled Rainy's hand, leading her to wash up and change her clothes.

When Xia Ruoxin woke up, the first thing she did was reach out for her daughter to check if she had kicked the blanket away instinctively, but it was empty. She opened her eyes, wide awake instantly.

No way. Her daughter was taken by someone?
