Chapter 557 - Forgive that Father (1/2)

So she was worried about him. Worried about the guy that troubled her for so long.

”Gao Yi, I don't…” Xia Ruoxin said as she lifted her head. However, all she saw was Gao Yi smiling at her warmly, just like before.

”Ruoxin, you don't need to explain anything. You were never a heartless person so I would be worried if you did not worry about him. Well, no matter the reason, he did save Rainy. We should be grateful to him.”

Xia Ruoxin's lips quivered for a long time, but she did not know what else to say. Perhaps just forgetting everything would be better than any further explanation.

”Let's eat. If not, it would really be a waste.” Gao Yi filled her bowl with food again, but nobody had seen the look of uneasiness in his eyes, an uneasiness of losing something he loved.

Xia Ruoxin lowered her head. Not knowing why, she only felt an unspeakable sense of guilt, not sure if it was because of Chu Lui or because of the man before her. Chu Lui was mean, but Gao Yi treated her really well.

However, she was just really worried about that guy's injury and was only reassured after hearing that Gao Yi said it was fine. That's good. Then, she will not owe him anything. If there was anything with his leg, she would never be able to walk out of it her entire life.

It was too heavy. Too, too heavy.

…

Rainy rubbed her eyes and looked left and right before extending her small hand to clutch the side of Xia Ruoxin's clothes. She knew that she was already home.

”Mommy…” said Rainy in a sleepy voice, but her hands were still clutching onto her mother tightly.

”Hm? Mommy is here.” Xia Ruoxin held her daughter in an embrace. Rainy rubbed her eyes from time to time; she looked as though she did not sleep.

”Mommy, let's not get angry at that Daddy okay?” Her soft, child voice caused Xia Ruoxin to knit her brows. She was not even angry at Gao Yi, and she did not even know when she got angry.

The kid noticed this.

”Mommy, Rainy saw that Daddy cry. Mommy said that a.d.u.l.ts won't cry, and if they do, it's just because their eyes hurt.”

Rainy pulled on Xia Ruoxin's clothes; her eyes blinked untimely and still had a look of sleepiness on her face.

Xia Ruoxin finally realized whod her daughter was talking about.

It was not Gao Yi, but Chu Lui.

Just that, did that man ever cry? Everyone knew. That guy was cold-blooded… heartless. The most impossible thing for him to do… was to cry.

”Okay, Mommy?” Rainy lifted her head and tried to open her eyes with all her might, but her eyes flashed across as though she fell asleep again. Just that her hands were still holding onto Xia Ruoxin's clothes. For some reason, Xia Ruoxin was conflicted, a type of conflict that made her struggle with her feelings.

Forgive, forgiving for real. She said that she no longer hated that guy, but—actually, deep down—she had always hated him. No forgiveness and no letting go. She held Rainy even tighter, and some sort of discomfort made her shut her eyes.

Rainy, do you really want Mommy to forgive him? But… Mommy… really can't do it. I really can't.
