Chapter 387 - She could be Okay (2/2)

Whether it was Shen Yijun or Chu Lui.

Once she reached home, that silence finally caused her turbulent heart to calm down gradually.

She walked to the table and picked up a piece of note. This was Gao Yi and her way of leaving a message for each other. Using a mobile phone might have been easier, but Gao Yi preferred this method. Compared to the current generation's dependence on modern electronics, a handwritten note coupled with the smell of ink and his calligraphic handwriting conveyed his caring, consideration, and warmth.

”I took Rainy out to eat KFC. Remember to eat when you come back. Don't ill-treat your stomach. You won't go wrong with a doctor's instructions.”

There was even a smiley doll drawn on the note—a circle with an egg and four matchsticks. However, above the egghead, there was hair. On each matchstick, there were even smaller egg faces scribbled with a few words. However, she could see each word clearly. It was definitely written very seriously.

She couldn't help herself from laughing out loud and felt much better.

It would seem that her daughter took after her. The little girl sure had some artistic talent. In the future—as her mother, she would encourage her daughter to pursue her dream if she really liked it.

She kept the note and went into the kitchen to cook herself some noodles. As she sat at the table, she suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

Was it because it was too quiet? Or her heart was just too confused?

She had simply cut off some ties which she should have done a long time ago and seen someone she shouldn't have.

She smiled faintly in self-mockery. Yet, no one saw the bitterness in her eyes.

So a day had arrived when many people would try ways and means simply to apologize to an unwanted woman like her.

She took out her sketchbook, sat on the sofa, and started drawing. After a few strokes, it became a drawing that one could easily understand. Her strokes were soft, and the sketch was finished in one try. Her level of painting was self-taught. As she drew, her interest grew. When her hand began to ache, she put the sketchbook down and realized it was almost five o'clock. Those two should be back any time. She should go and do some marketing quickly, or else all of them would have to be hungry.

She took her purse and left. No matter who she saw or what she encountered in the day, she was still her. She was not unfeeling, but a woman who decided to take things as they were because she had gone through too much.

Once she returned as she stood outside the door, she could hear the childish voice of Rainy. She was asking Gao Yi all sorts of trivial questions. At times, even Xia Ruoxin would be stumbled by Rainy's questions. She had not known that a child would have so many thoughts; neither had she seen other children asked so many tough and weird questions.

This was definitely not from her.

She pushed the door open. Rainy looked around and ran barefoot straight into Xia Ruoxin's legs. She hugged her mother's thighs and started to tell Xia Ruoxin about her day. ”Mommy, I went to the park today to fly a kite. It flew so high, and it was pretty.”

”Mmm, I know.” What a showoff. Xia Ruoxin squatted and carried her daughter using her right hand. Rainy kissed Xia Ruoxin's cheek hard, and then she proceeded to bury her little face into her mother's nape as though she was tired.

Gao Yi was sitting at the side. He smiled at Xia Ruoxin, subtly indicating to her that he had something to say; but he was in no hurry.

Xia Ruoxin knew Rainy's routine well. After playing for such a long time, she must be really exhausted. She must be very sleepy from the way she kept rubbing her eyes.
