Chapter 468 - Worried of Daddy Leaving (1/2)

”Mommy, kiss me, too.” Rainy offered her cheek for Xia Ruoxin, wanting her mother to kiss her.

Xia Ruoxin kissed her daughter's cheek. Rainy cupped her face with her hands and broke into a shy smile. When he saw how adorable she was, Gao Yi carried Rainy and rained kisses on her cheek. Then, he carried her begrudgingly to let her play.

Xia Ruoxin picked up the fallen towel from the floor. She turned around and caressed her red lips. Her heart pounded again as she felt her emotions stirred by what had happened earlier.

Once her emotions were stirred, it would bring along a thousand strands of love.

Above the sofa, a cartoon was showing on the television. Rainy wasn't particularly fond of watching cartoons. However, Gao Yi always left it on. He kept saying that she was unlike any other kid, which wasn't good… so he was constantly forcing her to do some things that a child should be doing.

Actually, Xia Ruoxin felt the same way. Rainy was always playing with her doll in her spare time. In fact, she was more mature than the children who were her age. She could cook her own noodles although it wasn't really delicious. Nevertheless, it was an accomplishment that many children couldn't do, not even teenagers. Rainy, on the other hand, could do it very well. At three years old, she could cook her own noodles to eat.

The television was showing a cartoon starring a pink pig. It seemed to be popular for children at Rainy's age, and Gao Yi decided to sacrifice his favorite news and sports programs so that Rainy could watch a pig.

Rainy played with her doll with the occasional peek at the television. However, she was neither interested nor fond of it. Xia Ruoxin could see that she had a long way to go. It wouldn't be that easy to transform a mature Rainy into a normal child.

At night, Rainy held her doll in one hand and her pillow in the other. Then, she knocked on Gao Yi's door.

Gao Yi was preparing to go to bed when he heard a knock on his door. Initially, he was going to take a shower. He had just taken off his shirt, and now, he had to put it on again. When he opened the door, he couldn't see anything outside. Then, he lowered his eyes and saw little Rainy who was as tall as his kneecap.

He bent down so that he was just an inch or two taller than Rainy.

”What is it?” He placed one hand on Rainy's cheek. She had gained some weight lately. Her cheeks looked chubbier now with her baby fat. She had a slender chin, a straight nose, and a pair of eyes with the size of black seedless gr.a.p.es which spoke volumes. It was no wonder Ruoxin's friends at the art studio had called her 'Little Beauty'. Indeed, she was such a pretty thing that she would definitely outshine her mother when she was a full-grown woman.

”What is it, Little Beauty?” Finally, Gao Yi sat on the floor so that he was the same height as the little imp.

”Can I sleep with Daddy tonight?” Rainy held her doll with both hands and stood attentively as she asked cautiously worried that Gao Yi wouldn't agree to her request.

”Okay. Of course, you can sleep with me.” Gao Yi stood up and carried Rainy. ”You can sleep with me tonight, but you can't cry for Mommy. If you really cry to me in the middle of the night, I will ignore you in the future.” He pinched Rainy's cheek unsure of what was happening to the little one. Why had she asked to sleep with him out of the blue? As far as he could remember, she couldn't sleep at night without Xia Ruoxin. If her mother was not with her, she would force herself to stay awake even when she was exhausted.
