Chapter 473 - Lets Sleep (2/2)

She patted her face to make the heat fade as well.

When she came out, her originally red face was now slightly pale.

She was actually terrified of those things, but it was natural for a man and a woman to reach that stage. She wouldn't think that Gao Yi desired a platonic love. He was a man while she was a woman.

For a couple to walk beside each other—not only must their hearts be together, but their bodies should be, too.

However—

Her hands by her sides clenched into fists. She didn't want to do that sort of things, no matter if the other party was Chu Lui or Gao Yi. She detested Chu Lui and was scared of Gao Yi.

What else could be done if a woman loathed things like these? To become a spinster, alone forever? Yet, it was impossible for her.

She sat by the bed and gently caressed her daughter's tender face. Rainy slept soundly. Her small, fragile body was snug under the warm blanket. Even though it was freezing outside, it was as warm as spring indoors, which allowed Rainy to sleep so peacefully.

She would never be afraid of the cold anymore. She would never be in pain anymore.

She held her daughter's tiny hand and squeezed the warm and soft hand. It was only at times like this did she feel like everything was in the past. No matter what happens tomorrow, at least all she wanted at this moment was to protect her Rainy. Then, she'd be contented.

Rainy kicked her tiny feet out again. Xia Ruoxin sighed and could only stuff her feet back under the blanket again. Then, she laid down beside her, too. It was time to sleep. Perhaps it would be sunny tomorrow, too.

She was still dazed and sleepy when she felt like there was a mouse beside her.

She placed her hand in front of her acrid eyes and forcefully opened them to see Rainy crawling around her with something in her hands.

”Hush, Dolly. Don't wake Mommy up. She's tired.”

Rainy hugged the doll while she sat at the corner of the bed. She was holding her comb in one hand, using it to comb the doll's hair while muttering some words under her breath. It wasn't even seven o'clock, but she had already risen. She was an obedient child, too; she had changed her clothes herself and was playing by herself without waking others up.

Xia Ruoxin sat up and ruffled her daughter's hair.

”Hungry?” She asked her daughter, who raised her head to look up at her.

”Mm, hungry.” Rainy jumped into her mother's arms. She was feeling hungry forp a long time ago, but Mommy was tired. She didn't want to wake her up.

”Just a minute.” Xia Ruoxin pinched her daughter's cheeks and got off the bed to make a bottle of milk for her. The powdered milk would suffice as breakfast.

”Drink it, darling.” Xia Ruoxin placed the milk bottle in Rainy's hands. Rainy pursed her lips and hugged the milk bottle in grievance as she drank it, but her huge eyes seemed like her mother had bullied her. It really made people want to pinch.

”I'm bringing her to the hospital today and get her body checked, too.” Gao Yi squatted down and put on a pink rabbit fur hat on Rainy's head. The hat had pink bunny ears, making Rainy look like a pink rabbit.

Rainy curled into a ball and turned around, jumping into her mother's arms silently.
