Chapter 516 - If People Had A Heart (1/2)

Before Brother San killed somebody, Shen Wei carried the child in his arms into her embrace, gently lulling the child to sleep as she did so. At that moment, a ray of gentleness scattered in her pupils.

Brother San walked over, took off his clothes, and put it over Shen Wei.

”You're going to catch a cold if you wear so little.”

”Thanks, Brother San.” Shen Wei smiled, presenting the child in her arms to Brother San as if she was a treasure. ”Cute little fella, isn't she?”

”Yeah.” Brother San nodded. He rarely met children. However, it could be considered rare to see such a beautiful and well-behaved child.

”Chu Lui's child.” Shen Wei's red lips curled slightly upwards. ”A big company's CEO with a net worth of over several billion, and yet his daughter grew up under such harsh living conditions. Can you believe it? When she fell sick, they couldn't even afford the hospital bills. The child's mother had to sell her body just to pay for the hospital fees.”

She sat down, lightly caressing the child's small face. ”Just like me. Brother San, could you imagine? The eldest daughter of the Shen family, stooping so low as to sell her body just so she could repay all that debt.”

”Wei…” Brother San walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder. ”It's alright, everything is in the past now.” Shen Wei's eyes were a little clouded. Brother San hadn't seen her so vulnerable in a long time.

Firmly blinking away her tears, Shen Wei leaned against Brother San and gently closed her eyes. The little child in her arms slept soundly, unaware of the sufferings in the world.

Brother San placed his hands on Shen Wei's face. Nobody realized that for a second, a deeply affectionate gaze flashed across his eyes.

”Wei, do you know? I realized that you've changed from before. Finally, you're starting to have your own opinions and feelings. You're not like a walking corpse anymore.”

Shen Wei didn't know that she had fallen asleep. She slept very soundly. She hadn't slept so soundly before. The small child with the milky aroma lay in her arms, just like the best sleep-inducing medicine in the world. Almost every day, she could sleep until sunrise; and she never had those dreams again.

…

”Ruoxin.” The sudden greeting caused Xia Ruoxin to lift her head. She saw that Gao Yi had entered the room while she was daydreaming with the phone in her hand.

”What's wrong? Missing your daughter?” Gao Yi sat down, confiscating the phone in her hand and placing it back in its original place.

”A little.” Xia Ruoxin was actually still feeling quite upset. ”Rainy and I have never been separated before. Not even for a day… but why, why do I feel so abandoned?”

”Hehe…” Gao Yi started laughing. ”The child is growing up. She will have to learn to be independent sooner or later. If you're so overly attached to her, what are you going to do when she gets married?”

”I hadn't thought about that before because it's still so far in the future.” Xia Ruoxin only knew that her daughter was still three-years-old and that she was unbelievably small. She was still a child; she barely even grew up. How was she going to get married and give birth to children? Xia Ruoxin truly believed that she would have to wait until her next lifetime for that to happen.

”Ruoxin, come over, I have something to tell you.” Gao Yi reached his hands out towards Xia Ruoxin.

Xia Ruoxin placed her hand in his, and Gao Yi clasped them tightly. At that moment, he felt a sense of reluctance. Yes, that was right, reluctance. He was going to firmly hold onto her and latch onto her for his entire life. He was never going to let go.

No matter what happened.

The two of them sat on a sofa not too far away. Just then, a 'drip-drop, drip-drop' sound could be heard from outside. It sounded like the snow melting. It was very cold outside, but inside the house, it was extremely warm. Their eyes were filled with layers and layers of warmth as they gazed at each other.
