Chapter 433 - She Was Someone Elses Daughter (1/2)

She turned her face away and wiped away her tears surreptitiously, but Xia Ruoxin was still unmoved. Her heart was still like a dead sea, with no waves or ripples. There was no hurt, no scar… no pain.

It was as if it was a stranger in front of her saying, ”Hi, hello. Sorry, I've got the wrong person.”

Xia Ruoxin rested her chin on top of her daughter's head and hugged her even tighter.

She stared at Shen Yijun somberly as she declared. Shen Yijun listened closely.

”If you really want to help, then please don't inform the Chu family about Rainy. She's not my daughter. I can't give birth.

”She's someone else's.”

Shen Yijun choked a sob. She covered her mouth as if she was scared that she would make a noise.

She nodded profusely, muffled sobs tearing out of her throat.

”Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin bowed deeply to Shen Yijun with Rainy in her arms, and then she stepped away in the field of fallen leaves.

A leaf would always go back to its roots. The trees were the mother leaf of all fallen leaves. They would protect their children from birth to their fall. No matter where the leaf drifted, it would return to its mother's embrace in the end.

”Mommy, is that aunty Mommy's mommy?” Rainy asked Xia Ruoxin sensibly. She didn't know much and couldn't conjecture much, but she heard Shen Yijun refer to herself as Mommy's mother.

If she was Mommy's mommy, then she was her grandma?

So she had a grandma. She nibbled on her fingers. Then why didn't Grandma come and visit her? When she was sick, only Mommy and Daddy were there. No one else was present.

So Grandma must not have liked her.

”Yes, she's Grandma.” Xia Ruoxin didn't hide the truth. She had to come clean with some things. Rainy's comprehension skills were quite good so she would be able to understand some things.

”She doesn't like Rainy?” Rainy tugged at her mother's clothes, her lips forming a pout. She looked sad.

”No.” Xia Ruoxin was walking very slowly, and she spoke deliberately. ”It's not that she dislikes Rainy. She just doesn't like Mommy. Rainy is so obedient and cute so a lot of people adore you.”

Upon hearing these words, her pout transformed into a smile.

She pressed her cheeks to her mother's slightly cold face. ”Don't cry, Mommy. Grandma doesn't like Mommy, but Rainy likes Mommy. I will like Mommy forever and ever, only Mommy.”

Xia Ruoxin put her daughter down on the ground and took her hand.

I will hold your hand for eternity… from the day of your birth.

The day I loosen my hand could very well be the day I leave this world.

You're my life's continuity, my everything.

Rainy took huge steps forward with her short legs, picking up the leaves from the ground cheerfully. Sometimes, she brought them up to the lips and blew them away. After she collected a huge pile, she ran to the tree and placed them all beneath it.

This was how the leaves returned home.

Night fell, and Chu Lui returned home for meals. Song Wan's heart went out to her son when she met him. He was becoming sadder and sadder. Even though he wasn't the smiley type in everyday life, he wasn't living like a robot like what he was doing now.
