Chapter 554 - She Wasnt Grateful (1/2)

”Rainy, Daddy's bringing you back, bringing you back to find your Mommy.” As he spoke, he gently kissed his daughter's tiny face. He dragged his injured leg as he moved forward step by step. As he walked out of the warehouse, he was greeted at the entrance by Du Jingtang who had rushed over just in time. Of course, there were also many cops. However, everything was over. Chu Lui was at ease as long as his daughter was alright.

”Cousin, you're injured!” Du Jingtang hastily went over. The blood on Chu Lui's leg, the knife still stuck in his thigh, and the trail of blood next to his leg… it was such a ghastly sight.

”Cousin, does it hurt?” Du Jingtang remorsefully asked him. Did he really not feel pain? This was skin, flesh, and blood—this was a living person.

”No, I feel so at ease. Look, Jingtang, my daughter's alright. As long as she's alright, that's enough for me.”

Chu Lui shook his head, simply hugging Rainy tighter in his embrace. He lifted his head, and a person's figure descended upon his pupils. It was Xia Ruoxin who approached them.

”Ruoxin, I did it, look. I'll return Rainy to you. You need to take good care of her, okay?”

Chu Lui carried Rainy over and handed her to Xia Ruoxin. However, the void in his arms made his heart suddenly feel abnormally miserable. Upon losing his support, his body involuntarily swayed to the side; and Du Jingtang—who was beside him—frantically held him up.

”Mommy…” Rainy tightly hugged onto Xia Ruoxin's neck. The young child was evidently in shock. However, her eyes had never left Chu Lui before she snuggled back into her mother's embrace again.

Xia Ruoxin tightly hugged her daughter that she had just reunited with, not wanting to let go at all. ”Rainy, my Rainy…” She repeatedly called out her daughter's name until Gao Yi wrapped his arm around her shoulders. ”Alright, everything's fine now. Let's head back.” Gao Yi's hands slightly tightened around her, giving her silent encouragement. She was worried, and Rainy was scared; whereas that man… there was a complicated look in his eyes.

With this kind of injuries—if it was an ordinary person, they probably would have already fainted. However, Chu Lui was still holding onto his consciousness, his gaze never leaving Xia Ruoxin and Rainy, almost as if he was trying to burn everything about them into his soul.

Just as if this was the last time he was going to see them. As if they were about to part forever.

It was only now that he understood how much this man loved Xia Ruoxin. Perhaps he loved her all along—unknowingly—for four years.

At that moment, the sound of the ambulance resonated in the air. Many people came out of the warehouse, and soon, another two people were carried out. One was Mi Dongfeng, and the other was Li Manni.

Xia Ruoxin carried Rainy and took a step back.

”I won't thank you for this because you were the cause of everything in the first place. You made my Rainy suffer so much; you deserve to get injured. Even if you die, it's still well-deserved.” Xia Ruoxin kept shaking her head, rejecting the sense of gratitude that arose inside her. She wasn't going to be touched, and she wasn't going to be grateful.

It was his fault. It was his fault in the first place.
