Chapter 514 - Not Letting You Meet Her (1/2)

Just when Xia Ruoxin was about to eat another mouth of carrots, Gao Yi reached out his hand and took her entire bowl away.

He picked up all the carrots in her bowl and placed them in his own. ”This is my favorite vegetable; don't you dare touch a single strand of it. Eat your little vegetables.” He picked all the shredded carrots away and then placed the plate of carrots in front of himself. ”Okay, let's just eat our own food; don't think about touching my carrots.” As he spoke, he picked up a bunch of other vegetables with his chopsticks and placed them into Xia Ruoxin's bowl.

”Yes. Eat more vegetables; it's good for your skin.”

Just as he finished speaking, he began eating large mouthfuls of his food, one bite after another. The carrots practically all went into his stomach. However, in a place unknown to others, a bitter smile faintly arose on that gentle and elegant face of his.

Ruoxin, you're hesitating.

Outside was a snowstorm. Xia Ruoxin cleared the bowls and chopsticks, and when she walked out, she saw Gao Yi taking out his scarf and a hat.

”Wasn't today your off-day?”

Xia Ruoxin remembered that Gao Yi did not have work today. He was on a night shift. What was he going out for now?

”I'm not the one who is going out.” Gao Yi headed towards Xia Ruoxin, twirling the scarf around her neck and putting the hat on her head.

Xia Ruoxin couldn't understand. Her eyes were filled with questions.

Gao Yi actually liked this look in her eyes the most. It was always a very clean look, and her soul was there. No matter how many hardsh.i.p.s she went through or how much she got hurt—from the beginning to the end, she always had that pure heart.

He opened the door and took Xia Ruoxin's hands.

”Go on.”

Xia Ruoxin placed her hand on the door. Why did she have to go out?

”Talk it out with the man outside.”

Gao Yi pushed her out. The cold air outside blew onto his face. It was at that moment, Gao Yi felt like the cold, howling wind had frozen his heart into ice.

Xia Ruoxin's hand didn't leave the door handle.

She didn't want to. She really didn't want to have anything to do with that man again. It was just that they had too much between them that couldn't be resolved, that couldn't be severed all because of that daughter who was related to him by blood.

”Go on.” Gao Yi placed his hand on Ruoxin's hair then bent down and whispered into her ear, ”You're not a woman who runs away. No matter how long it takes, this problem will have to be resolved someday.” At that moment, he was saying it from an outsider's perspective. Just like a kiss between the opposite s.e.xes—in his laughing black pupils, something seemingly flashed by.

If other people made him uncomfortable, how could he not seek revenge?

Xia Ruoxin's hands slowly loosened. Then, she walked out into the blizzard. Behind her, the man stood leaning onto the door. She turned back only to see the man give her an encouraging smile.

Xia Ruoxin tightened the scarf around her neck. A speck of snow fell onto her neck, causing her to retract it. She hadn't felt like that for a long time.

The man standing amidst the snow practically became a snowman. His hair, his shoulders, his clothes, and even his eyelashes had a layer of falling snow. The man's extremely thin lips were pressed tightly together at that moment. His expression was very grim. Just then, he instinctively blinked his eye, causing the snow on his lashes to fall abruptly. Tears rolled down the side of his eyes, merging with the melting snow—a perfect disguise.
