Chapter 497 - Its Him Again (1/2)

Rainy felt her pocket and took out a piece of chocolate.

”Mommy, eat this. I saved it for you,” Rainy said as she started to peel the wrapper away with the intention of feeding the chocolate to Xia Ruoxin. However, she saw that it had melted when she peeled the wrapper. It had been in her pocket for too long.

Rainy stared at the melted chocolate in her hand. Tears began to fall.

”I'm sorry, Mommy. It's melted.” She showed her mother the contents. She had wanted her mother to have it, but it had melted. What to do when chocolate had melted?

Xia Ruoxin took the melted chocolate away from her daughter's hand. Although she couldn't make out the design, it was still chocolate nonetheless.

She took the chocolate and shoved it into her mouth. Mmm. She closed her eyes in content. ”The chocolate given by my baby is truly delicious. Thank you so much.”

A sweet, buttery taste lingered in Xia Ruoxin's mouth. While her taste buds enjoyed the smoothness of the chocolate, she was also basking in the touching affection from her daughter.

She carried Rainy and propped her chin on top of her small head. ”Mmm, I have eaten your chocolate. I will make more delicious food for you tomorrow. How does that sound?”

”Thank you, Mommy.” Rainy's eyes lit up. She hugged her mother's neck coyly and nuzzled against her face.

It as almost ten o'clock when Rainy was asleep. They were alone at home since Gao Yi had to work. Being a doctor was indeed a noble profession. Xia Ruoxin had not understood that in the past. However, she learned the hardsh.i.p.s and helplessness of being a doctor after she knew Gao Yi. There was nothing much she could do for him except cook more delicious meals every day and bring them to him. She could prevent him from going hungry.

After some thought, she finally went into the kitchen and took out some noodles from the fridge. She was going to stir-fry the noodles and bring it to Gao Yi so that he could have something to eat when he was on break from his shift.

When it was ready, she packed it into a lunch box, closed the door, and left. She wasn't very worried about Rainy. Her daughter could take care of herself once she was awake. Although she was only three years old, Rainy was very sensitive. Otherwise, as a mother, Xia Ruoxin wouldn't have dared to leave her.

The light from the street lamps shone in the night, extending to a distance far away. From time to time, one or two cars would pass by Xia Ruoxin. She tightened her jacket and held the lunch box tighter against her body.

A car stopped before her. She stopped as she felt her heart stirred with a wave of familiarity.

She seemed to know the owner of the vehicle.

This feeling was something indescribable; something that she didn't want to feel.

The car door opened. A man in black emerged from within and blended in the dark. Half of his face showed the obvious and inexplicable regret under the shadowy street lights.

”Where are you going?”

The man's voice sounded cold. However, one could easily hear the tension and emotions in it. It was laughable. A man like Chu Lui could actually be anxious. No one would believe it even if he said it. The man's review was usually cold-blooded, heartless, or unscrupulous.

Xia Ruoxin stood under the yellow street light which stretched her silhouette until it was long and thin. The wind seemed to come with some autumn frosts as it blew at her short hair.
