Chapter 506 - She is My Daughter (1/2)
What surprised Chu Lui were not the child's eyes, but the fact that she looked exactly like that child. The child that he failed to save, the little girl that fell ill. She was his biggest and most heart-wrenching regret that resurfaced in his dreams, every time he fell asleep.
”Ra…” Just as he was about to speak, a voice from the other side submerged his own.
”Rainy…”
The child turned around and ran towards the other man, immediately embracing his legs.
”Are you tired, do you want Daddy to carry you?” Gao Yi stopped to pat Rainy's tender cheeks. They were all red from walking in the cold weather. Her cheeks looked like red apples, absolutely endearing. It made people want to bite into them. Although Rainy was young and her facial features had yet to develop, she already started to take after her mother. In the future, she was definitely going to be a stunning lady.
”I'm not tired.” Her child-like voice sounded exceptionally pleasant to hear. Gao Yi could not help but laugh. There was no way she wasn't tired. One step of his could easily amount to her ten steps.
”Come, let Daddy carry you.” Gao Yi reached out his arms.
Rainy's eyelashes fluttered as she blinked, and she reached her hands out to Gao Yi. Actually, her legs were very tired. However, she was all grown up. She couldn't let a.d.u.l.ts carry her anymore. Otherwise, the other kids would laugh at her.
Gao Yi embraced Rainy's in his arms, but his heart could not stop worrying. Even though she grew a little chubbier than before, her body still felt unbelievably light.
”This was because Daddy wanted to carry Rainy, not because Rainy wanted Daddy to carry her.” Rainy hugged Gao Yi's neck and bit her fingers as she spoke.
”Okay, it was Daddy who insisted on carrying Rainy. It's okay if it's like that right, you cheeky girl.” Gao Yi pinched the cheeks of the mischievous child in front of him. He turned around, only to see a man standing in front of him.
Chu Lui. Why was he here?
Gao Yi instinctively hugged Rainy a little closer.
Rainy stared blankly at Chu Lui, her smile fading from her face. She leaned against Gao Yi's shoulder and instantly went quiet.
”Rainy…” Chu Lui called Rainy's name. His black eyes staring straight at the face leaning against Gao Yi's shoulder. He was excited, but he turned towards Gao Yi with a complex look on his face. Why was Rainy with this man, and why was she calling him daddy?
Rainy, Rainy Gao. Rainy was Rainy Gao, Gao Yi's daughter.
She was Gao Yi's daughter. Strange ideas flashed through his brain; however—at that moment, he was unable to grasp the most important thread.
There was no time for him to ponder over the situation. Rainy blinked her eyes. She saw a lady walking out from the market and immediately recognized who she was.
”Mommy…” the child's soft voice stunned Chu Lui for a moment. Of course, there was also Xia Ruoxin who was approaching from a distance, the mommy that Rainy mentioned.
Gao Yi put down the child in his arms, and Rainy immediately sprinted towards Xia Ruoxin, clutching her legs. ”Mommy, Rainy wants a hug.” She reached out with two small hands, sticking especially close to her mother as she was scared.
