Chapter 549 - She Wanted to Go, Too (1/2)

She only had Grandpa—Grandpa was her Grandpa. She had her own Mommy and her own Daddy, and she didn't need other people's Daddy and Mommy. As for Granny, she didn't need her as well.

Chu Xiang didn't like her, and of course, she didn't like Chu Xiang, too.

At night, Chu Xiang slept with Song Wan while Rainy slept with Chu Jiang.

”This bed is so big. What's wrong with another child sleeping here? Is it necessary for them to sleep separately?” Song Wan complained from time to time as she spread out another soft blanket over the bed. A sense of discomfort never left her heart.

”Xiang Xiang doesn't like Rainy.” Chu Jiang hit the nail on the head, his words stabbing at Song Wan's heart.

”Rainy doesn't like Chu Xiang as well,” he added, pouring salt on her wound.

Song Wan let out a sigh. ”I know that as well. It's just this child had already been adopted, and all the paperwork has been processed. If we sent her back, then it would be quite troublesome. Furthermore, we've raised her for such a long time. I've already gotten attached to her…”

”Then don't complain about it.” Chu Jiang had always been a straight-forward man. As long as there was Chu Xiang in this family, Rainy would never be able to have much relations with Song Wan. Don't blame him for playing favorites. He only had one granddaughter. For the rest of his life, she was his one and only.

At night, Chu Jiang played a lot of intellectual games with his granddaughter like puzzles and sort. It was then that he had a shocking revelation—Rainy's IQ was definitely not low. She was their Chu family's child.

However, the child's physical strength wasn't that good. She fell asleep only after a short while. Nevertheless, the puzzle that she completed had practically no mistakes.

Knock, knock. There was a light knock coming from outside. Chu Jiang opened the door. Upon seeing his son, his hands relaxed; and he opened a path for his son to enter.

”She's asleep.” Chu Jiang softly said.

”I came over to see her.” Chu Lui tip-toed his way over and sat down. It was only at times like these that he could actually look carefully at his daughter. He shakily reached his hands out and pulled the blanket over his daughter. Thereafter, he placed those tiny hands under the blanket. It was just that the moment he held her small hands, he felt as if the blood in his body was boiling hot.

His eyes turned red, his throat choked up, and his voice had become hoarse.

This must be blood ties. This must be father and daughter.

It was all his fault. He didn't save his daughter and made her go through so much pain, so many hardsh.i.p.s. If he could get another chance—even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would never let his daughter go through so much ever again. This was originally his little princess; she was the child that he was supposed to love with all his heart. Yet, look at the things he had done.

Just then, a hand was placed on his shoulder, gently patting him.

”You still have a lot of time. She's still young. Believe me… one day, you will have their forgiveness.

”Whether it's the child's or… hers.”

”Dad, thanks.” Chu Lui carefully placed his large palms on his daughter's face again. ”This child looks so pretty.”

”She does,” Chu Jiang said proudly, ”How could a granddaughter of mine possibly look bad? Moreover, her character's extremely like yours.” Chu Jiang walked over, and between the two a.d.u.l.ts was a small, small child. Both of them relished in this rare blood bond.

The next day, Xia Ruoxin came over to pick up her child. Rainy was dressed up tidily, and her stomach was full. Her flushed face had been carefully taken care of.

”Grandpa, bye-bye…”

She reached out her small hands towards Chu Jiang and waved at him. Chu Jiang lifted his face as well. However, in his calm dark pupils, tears began to well up. This was really lame. What was he crying for? If there's a first time, there would be a second.

He could just bring his granddaughter over next time.

Xia Ruoxin picked her daughter up, and Rainy excitedly shared about the things that happened in her grandfather's house. Xia Ruoxin listened, replying to her from time to time in children's speech.

”The Xiao Jiejie in Granny's house doesn't like Rainy, but Rainy doesn't like her, too. Rainy only needs Grandpa. I won't steal Granny from her.
