Chapter 494 - Not Fond (1/2)

Rainy stretched her neck out from a corner, staring at Chu Lui holding onto Chu Xiang as they got onto the car. Her lips puckered up, but there wasn't much expression on her pretty apple-like face. Only when the car left did she then walk out, sitting on the staircase while waiting for her mother.

”Rainy, shall you come in with Teacher to play with the dolls?” The teacher walked next to Rainy before squatting down and patting the cap on Rainy's head. The weather was so cold; how could one sit there?

Rainy shook her head.

”Rainy wants to wait for Mommy.”

Even after persuading for a while, Rainy was still a very stubborn child, and the teacher could only take a jacket for her to wear in case she really caught a cold from the freezing weather.

Rainy used both her hands to support her face, with her pair of eyes glancing out every now and then—not even blinking. It was like this until a figure appeared from afar, rushing over.

”Mommy.” Rainy stood up and happily ran out.

Xia Ruoxin took off her coat before hugging her, sticking her own face against Rainy's tiny face. ”Why is it so cold?”

”Rainy was waiting for Mommy.” Rainy's tiny body was drowning in her mother's coat, with the coat smelling great. There was the scent of Mommy, and it was warm.

”Let's go, baby; let's head home.” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter. Thankfully, she didn't gain much weight, or else she would be unable to lift Rainy up.

Rainy's face leaned onto Mommy's shoulder, stretching out a soft hand marred with scratches; but it didn't hurt anymore. She flattened her lips. Originally, she wanted Mommy to blow on it, but she did it herself eventually.

Returning home, it was empty but very warm. Xia Ruoxin took off the coat covering her daughter. Hiding within the huge coat was a tiny child; if one wasn't careful, one could really think that it was all clothes and no human.

She poured a glass of warm water, lowering herself down, and giving the glass to her daughter.

”Mommy, drink.” Rainy pushed the glass towards Xia Ruoxin.

”Mommy will drink later. You drink first, baby.” Xia Ruoxin smiled, pinching her daughter's cheeks. Yup, her cheeks were warm and red.

Rainy held onto the glass sipping her water, but her pair of eyes stared at the door, thinking when Daddy will come home. Then, she would be able to eat fish with her father.

Xia Ruoxin placed her daughter onto the sofa, passing the doll to her and turning on the television for her to entertain herself. She still had to go to the kitchen and prepare a meal, which should not take long since she prepared all the dishes when she returned in the afternoon.

At home, Rainy didn't cause her any worries since Rainy could play alone and was well-behaved.

The door opened, and Xia Ruoxin knew that Gao Yi had returned. Her hand actions were faster. Since it was already so late, the pair of father and daughter must be famished.

”Daddy.” Rainy jumped off the sofa, running towards Gao Yi.

Gao Yi pointed to the corner of his shirt.

Rainy understood and tugged at the pointed area, with Gao Yi bringing her into the washroom to wash his own hands cleanly before holding tightly onto Rainy's small hands. However, Rainy's facial expression hinted that something was wrong. Why did her eyebrows crease? He bent down, prying open Rainy's hands.

”How did you get injured?” He hugged Rainy in one arm, taking out his own first-aid kit from the cabinet.
