Chapter 523 - Call Daddy (1/2)

She picked up a doll from one side. It was an extremely beautiful doll with blonde hair. As compared to the old doll in Rainy's arms, it was a billion times more attractive. She stood up and then squatted beside Rainy, placing the doll in her arms.

”Rainy, your doll is old. Let Granny give you a new one, okay? Look at how pretty this is, right?”

Her hand holding the doll had started to turn sore. However, Rainy simply continued hugging the old doll in her arms. She only blinked her eyes, refusing to take the blonde doll in Song Wan's hand. She didn't speak, and she didn't take the doll.

”That's okay. Maybe she doesn't like it.” Chu Jiang let Rainy sit on his lap. He reached out and pushed the doll away. If the child didn't like it, then forget it. There was no need to force it on her. ”Actually, did you not realize? Although her doll is a little old, it still looks beautiful, right?”

He patted his granddaughter's cheeks, smiling lovingly at her. ”As long as she likes it, it doesn't matter whether it's old or not.”

Song Wan had no choice but to retract her hand and let out a helpless smile. Forget it, what he said was true. As long as she liked it, it was fine. Of course, they would never force anything on her.

”Mrs. Chu, there's nothing strange about that.” Gao Yi smiled as he explained. It could be considered as him giving Song Wan a way out of this situation. It was already awkward enough for her.

He pointed to the doll in Rainy's arms and said, ”It's not that Rainy doesn't have any dolls. She has a bunch at home. However, she only loves that doll in her arms, maybe because she subconsciously treats that doll as herself. Ruoxin bought that doll for her; it's her treasure. If she couldn't see the doll, she'd cry.”

”Oh. So that's how it is.” Song Wan nodded her head. She had no choice but to place the doll back on the ground, whereas the child in Chu Jiang's embrace started playing with her old doll again. She seemed like she was having the time of her life, playing with the doll—sometimes even forgetting about the a.d.u.l.ts around her. It seemed like she really liked the doll.

Rainy tightly gripped the doll and refused to let go. She never looked twice at any other doll. However, when her eyes landed on one of the dolls on the floor, it sparkled.

”You like this?”

Chu Jiang's observation skills were truly decent. Especially when all his focus was on his granddaughter's expressions. This child, from the moment she entered until now, had never paid any attention to the toys in the house. However, only this doll that fell onto the floor seemed a little special.

This doll was the one that just flew in from another country.

He picked up the doll from the floor and placed it in front of Rainy. It was then that he realized that this doll and the one in Rainy's arms were a set. It was just that one had blonde hair, and the other had black hair.

It was, at that moment, where he finally realized why his son had to import the doll all the way from another country. It turned out to be because Rainy also had one. Although he had little time with his granddaughter, he realized that this granddaughter of his—despite resembling her mother in several aspects—had the same character as the people of the Chu family. Once people of the Chu family decided on something, they never changed their decisions easily. It seemed that the determinant factor of the Chu family was passed down to this child.

Rainy clutched the doll tightly in her arms. However, her eyes had never left the doll that Chu Jiang had picked up. That doll and her doll looked so much alike.

”Rainy, you like this?” Upon seeing his granddaughter's lack of response, Chu Jiang asked again.

Rainy lightly nodded her head.
