Chapter 482 - I am Willing To (2/2)

”Ruoxin, Chu Lui has been hospitalized.”

Gao Yi picked another dish and continued eating, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Ruoxin's face while he observed the change in Xia Ruoxin's expression.

”Is that so?” Xia Ruoxin picked out another fishbone and fed the meat to her daughter. There wasn't much expression on her face.

”He's staying in the hospital.”

”Yes.” Gao Yi nodded. ”It has been three days.”

”Is he going to die?” Xia Ruoxin's question was simple yet heartless. She had learned to be a heartless person from Chu Lui.

”It's nothing major to cause death.” Gao Yi laughed. ”That man is tough. How can he die so easily?”

”Oh.” Xia Ruoxin's lips curled into a smile, but it didn't reach her eyes. Why wouldn't he die? How many people was he going to harm if a man like him was alive?

Gao Yi was eating without tasting his food. Truth be told, he had wanted to prevent Xia Ruoxin from having this sudden gush of emotions whether it was from her hatred or her love. Nevertheless, it was quite obvious that Xia Ruoxin was oblivious about her feelings. When she spoke about him, her mannerism had subconsciously been filled with disgust towards that man. Behind her disgust for him, there might be resentment acc.u.mulating inside her for a very long time.

Rainy looked at her mother and then her father. She could feel the strange atmosphere in the air. However, she merely continued to scoop the rice and put it into her mouth obediently until she was done stuffing the last grain.

”Are you finished?” Xia Ruoxin collected her daughter's bowl. As expected, she had sent the whole bowl of rice into her tummy. This small bowl was Rainy's limit. She couldn't eat anymore. If she did, she would be so stuffed.

”Mmm. My tummy is full. Burp…” A burp escaped from Rainy's mouth when she tried to speak.

Gao Yi immediately carried her. ”Come. Daddy will bring you out for a walk to deflate the air in your tummy.”

Rainy blinked her eyes. She seemed to be unaware that she had overeaten. Gao Yi took her hand, and they circled around for a while. He had carried Rainy on their way back. It was good to be a child. When a child couldn't walk any further, she could always depend on an a.d.u.l.t to carry her.

”Sleep well.” Gao Yi placed the child on her bed and tucked her under the blanket. Rainy would spend half the day sleeping because her body was weak. She would outgrow that.

In the hospital…

Besides the smell of disinfectant, the hospital was filled with the fragrance of food. It was lunchtime. Du Jingtang had brought some things with him. He was such a poor thing. He was crushed under the extreme stress on his shoulders. Apart from managing the company which was his sole responsibility, he also had to send food to his cousin three times a day.

”Brother, it's your shoulder that was injured, not your legs. Why won't you get your own food?” he complained. Running around like this daily had caused him to lose a few kilograms of body weight.

”I am willing to.” Chu Lui picked up the chopsticks. The taste of the food wasn't that great, but it would suffice as long as it filled his stomach.

Du Jingtang touched the tip of his nose. He pointed at Chu Lui's shoulder. ”Brother, you can be discharged. Am I right?”

”I am willing to.”

Chu Lui repeated.

”You are willing. You may be willing, but I'm not.”
