Chapter 509 - Dont Want That Father (1/2)

He looked at Xia Ruoxin, a tinge of resolve and seriousness sparkling in his eyes. Ruoxin, no matter what happens—believe me, I will stay by your side. I will not let anybody steal you and Rainy away.

Including that Chu Lui.

He picked up his chopsticks again, and for the first time, he felt that the meal was a little hard to swallow. It was not because the taste of the meal had changed; neither was it because it didn't taste good. It had the same taste as before. Just that he had lost his appetite because he had a lot on his mind.

At night—in the quiet and cozy room, Rainy lay beside Xia Ruoxin. Her eyes were wide open as she listened to the story Xia Ruoxin was telling her. She had to listen to a story every day before bed, or she refused to sleep.

In her arms was her dolly. She stuck her face tightly to her doll.

”Alright, that's the end of the story.” Xia Ruoxin placed her hands on her daughter's small body, lightly patting her to sleep. She stared into her daughter's bright, large eyes. How was she so energetic today? Usually, she would have been asleep by then.

Rainy's small hands clutched the doll tighter. ”Mommy, Rainy only needs Mommy. We don't need that daddy. Rainy doesn't like him.”

Her voice sounded as tender as usual, but somehow, hearing it made Xia Ruoxin a little astonished. ”Rainy, did you find out something?”

”Mommy, Rainy knows everything.” Rainy periodically blinked her eyes. She was still a kid, and there was a limit to her physicality. A few more sentences, and she would already be too tired to stay awake.

”Mommy, we don't want him. Rainy likes her current daddy, she likes the current mommy, and she likes the current Rainy. I don't want that daddy. Rainy doesn't want him.”

Her voice gradually became softer as her face leaned towards Xia Ruoxin's bosom. She had fallen asleep.

”Okay, we don't want him; we are fine as we are.” Xia Ruoxin gently held her daughter's face. She had always known that Rainy was mature, but she never thought that she would understand so much. In reality, she was still young, and there was no need for her to know so much. Xia Ruoxin just wished for Rainy to be a child and leave everything to her mother.

However, ever since she met Chu Lui, she had been in a state of immense unease. Perhaps, she was really just thinking too much. Everything was still as peaceful and quiet as before, and she would never meet Chu Lui again.

Rainy played in her painting room as usual, and Gao Yi headed to work as per normal. Other than to buy daily necessities—outside of work, Xia Ruoxin barely went out. She opened her fridge, only to see that they had to buy some new groceries. She had to go buy fish to boil fish soup for her family.

After wearing her clothes, she picked up her purse and headed out. She walked into the market and bought an extremely large fish, enough for her family of three to eat.

After paying for the fish, she walked out of the market. Just then, she remembered that there was something else she had to buy. However, the moment she turned around, she heard somebody call out her name.

”Ruoxin, is that you? Is that really you?' The voice sounded slightly excited, even a little shaky.

Ruoxin whipped around and stood in her place, watching as the woman approached her. It turned out to be her, Chu Lui's mother who was also her ex-mother-in-law, Song Wan. Long time, no see… no… actually, they already met not too long ago. Certainly, not a single person in the Chu family was decent.

Song Wan hadn't changed at all, except she looked a little gaunter. Otherwise, she was still very young and elegant. A rich lady like Shen Yijun, a lady from high society. Even though she was aging, she aged with elegance and beauty.
