Chapter 478 - Banging Stomach (1/2)

”Yes.” One word. Shen Yijun didn't see the need to elaborate. Song Wan felt awkward, and she wanted to talk about something else. However, she realized there wasn't much to say between the both of them.

Was she supposed to be apologetic, or did Shen Yijun feel the same? Nowadays, whenever they met, they would sit with each other without a word like what they were doing now.

Xia Ruoxin set her daughter down on the ground. Rainy held her mother's hand obediently and followed her footsteps. She walked away on her tiny feet, leaving the two persons behind. They were related to her in a way, but she didn't feel sorry for not knowing them.

”Rainy, do you feel sad without a maternal or paternal grandmother?”

Xia Ruoxin squeezed her daughter's hand abruptly as she attempted to ask. Perhaps, Rainy might not understand what she was saying.

Rainy blinked her eyes and held her mother's hand tight.

She pouted while she kicked at the stones beside her foot. Not everyone had paternal or maternal grandparents. Some children in the kindergarten had their grandmother to fetch them while others had either one of their parents. In Rainy's opinion, she could do without grandparents, but not her mother.

”Mommy, I want cake.” Her head snapped up at the thought of eating a sweet and soft cake.

”Okay, I understand.” Xia Ruoxin ran her knuckle along Rainy's cheek, and then she brought her daughter along to buy her cake. Since she was young, Rainy had never taken the initiative to voice out what she wanted. Now that their financial situation had improved, she had not changed. Her daughter seldom asked for things. Since she wanted a cake, Xia Ruoxin was willing to buy her ten, without blinking an eye. The only concern she had was buying too much. The cake would go bad if it wasn't finished.

They went to the cake house that they would usually patronize. Xia Ruoxin paid the smallest cake that Rainy had picked. She sat her daughter on a chair and let her savor it on her own. It might be a small cake, but for a child, it was enough.

”Are you done?” She poked gently at her daughter's face smeared with cake cream. Then, she couldn't resist pinching Rainy's apple-shaped face. It was smooth and pink like a doll's, which was exquisitely adorable.

”Done,” Rainy replied in her childish voice as she jumped from the chair. She pulled Xia Ruoxin's hand. ”Mommy, can we go visit Daddy?”

Xia Ruoxin checked the time. It was almost 5 o'clock. If everything went well, Gao Yi would be finishing work at seven o'clock.

”Mommy, can we go?” Rainy tugged at her mother's hand.

”Alright, let's go find Daddy.” Xia Ruoxin took her daughter's small hand after buying another cake. Rainy bit on her tiny finger. ”Mommy, is that for me?”

”It's for Daddy.” Xia Ruoxin pointed at Rainy's tummy. ”Baby, you can't have any more cake. If you do, your tummy will explode.”

Rainy quickly covered her stomach worried that it would really explode. Her eyes widened, and her lips shriveled in fear. That stopped her from having second thoughts of eating the cake.

Xia Ruoxin put the cake box in her daughter's hand and scooped the little girl up. Her left arm had regained some of its strength lately. It was no longer exhausting for her to carry her daughter.

…

”Doctor Gao, your daughter is here.” A nurse knocked on Gao Yi's door happily. She could see the Big and Little Beauties coming from afar especially the little one. Her features were so beautiful that she wished she could give her cheeks a good pinch.
