Chapter 511 - She was not Giving Her Daughter to the Chu Family (1/2)

The scent of alcohol filled the room. Perhaps because the medicinal wine was warm in nature, that's why it was making her increasingly uneasy. She understood Chu Lui too well. If what Song Wan said was true, then the Chu family was not going to give up any time soon.

”Gao Yi, let's leave this country now, alright?”

Xia Ruoxin took Gao Yi's hand in hers.

Bang! The bottle of medicine slipped from Gao Yi's hands and dropped onto the floor, alcohol splattering everywhere.

Gao Yi smiled. ”Don't worry about it.” He straightened out Xia Ruoxin's unkempt hair. ”I'm hungry; let's eat first. We'll talk about this later.” Gao Yi squat down as he spoke, picking up the bottle of medicine and personally wiping the floor clean.

Xia Ruoxin opened her mouth, clearly about to speak. However, in the end, she didn't say anything. Instead, she just lightly touched her own forehead. It still hurt, but the pain actually made her mind clearer.

Maybe sometimes, it wasn't so bad to walk into things. At the very least, she was more awake now.

She walked into the kitchen with a stomach-full of worry and panic and a complicated state of mind. With such a frame of mind, she still cooked up a meal for her family. They were all Gao Yi and Rainy's favorite foods. However, she did not know whether the emotions she put into making the meal would make it hard to swallow, causing indigestion.

”Mommy, is the food ready?” Rainy ran out of her room and habitually climbed onto her small chair to wait for the food.

Her daughter's small figure was just as adorable as before. Although her chubbier self indeed felt a little older like a toddler.

Xia Ruoxin's heart ached.

What should she do? She was afraid, really afraid.

She thought that Rainy would never leave her side. Although they went through countless hardsh.i.p.s and difficulties, their days were getting better. They had a house, a heater, and meat to eat… but why? Why was there always someone unwilling to let her off, to let her daughter off?

Xia Ruoxin held in her tears that were threatening to fall. She fought back her tears as she filled her daughter's bowl with rice. She forced herself to eat, and yet she found the meal really hard to swallow. She was practically counting rice grain by grain.

Rainy looked here and there. Finally, she buried her face into her bowl of rice, seemingly feeling upset, too.

”Let's go, baby. Let Daddy bring you to bed.”

Gao Yi picked up Rainy and lulled her to sleep. After a short while, the child had already fallen asleep; and at that moment, there were only both of them in the living room.

”Ruoxin, come sit here.” Gao Yi reached out his hands to Xia Ruoxin, wanting her to sit next to him.

Xia Ruoxin walked towards him and sat down, placing both of her hands on her knees, tightly clenching them. Hidden under her slightly lowered eyelids was a lot of uneasiness and bewilderment.

”Ruoxin, we cannot leave.”

Gao Yi clasped her hands only to find out that a layer of sweat had formed in the palm of her hand.

Why? Xia Ruoxin couldn't understand. Why couldn't they leave? As long as they left the country, that man wouldn't be able to find them; and they would be safe.

”Silly girl.” Gao Yi squeezed her hand with his palm, seemingly trying to give her courage through this action.

”You should know him very well. He's the kind of person that accomplishes his goals by hook or by crook. Believe me. Even if we escaped to the ends of the earth, he would still find us someday. Furthermore, right now, he…”

He didn't finish his sentence. Frankly, he had a feeling that this day would come. He just didn't think that it would come so quickly. Certain things turned up very quickly if someone searched for it. It was just that that man had not realized it before.
