Chapter 563 - Who Cut Her Hair (1/2)

”I'll be fine.” Chu Lui pulled his hands away and picked up his pace to catch up to Xia Ruoxin. It was his own body, and he knew it best. As tired and unwell as he was, he could endure it. He was fine, but his daughter—right now, she was still unhappy. She was currently asleep, but what about when she wakes up later? Was she going to cry again?

He had already made her cry enough. He couldn't let her cry anymore. He was a father. If he couldn't even protect his own daughter, then he was really unworthy of being a parent and unworthy of having a child.

In the past, he didn't know that he had made the tiny her suffer so much, but now that he did, he had no reason and no authority to let his daughter continue suffering.

They got off the car once again, and Chu Lui carried Rainy as he walked out of the car. His two hands felt a little weak, but he continued to hug his daughter tightly. He lifted his head, and the bright glass door entered his vision.

”Ruoxin, do you remember this place?” His voice was slightly sentimental. This office—it was here that he got to see a different side of Xia Ruoxin. Perhaps, it was also at this place that he fell for her. Of course, more importantly, this place was the start of her descent to hell. The him back then was sincere, and he had also truly forgotten all about his schemes and plots.

”I don't.” Xia Ruoxin turned her face away. She hadn't forgotten; she just didn't want to remember. This place started off with a lie and ended with another lie.

What else did she need to remember? Then again, what else was there to remember?

”Ruoxin, actually that day, my feelings were genuine; but I denied myself… and I denied you.” Hearing her say that she had forgotten about this place, Chu Lui's heart instantly felt a pang of pain. However, he understood that all this was what he deserved.

It didn't matter if she forgot about it. As long as he remembered, that was enough.

”Don't worry, I won't force you anymore. Neither will I snatch Rainy away from you.” He lowered his head and looked at the child within his embrace. His fingers gently caressed his daughter's small face, ”I won't force you to do things that you don't want to do. As long as you can let me see both of you more often, that's enough for me.

”I really have too much to apologize for, but I know that my apology is actually the cheapest thing to offer.” At that moment, Rainy gently fluttered her eyelashes and opened her eyes that were red from crying. Oh man, she was going to cry again.

”Alright, baby, Daddy's bringing you in.” He placed his hands on Rainy's small face gently caressing it. The smile on his face was extremely gentle. Only towards the people he loved was it possible for this coldhearted and ruthless man to show such a heart-warming expression.

Xia Ruoxin lifted her head once again. She raised her legs about to enter this eccentric place. This was the place that gave her dreams. She thought that Cinderella could finally become a princess but only understood at the end that she wasn't Cinderella. Cinderella had the love of a prince while all she received was hate.

This place, Du Jingtang furrowed his brows. Why would Cousin come here? This person had always been a ruthless and greedy trickster. Wanting him to personally lift a finger, money was a small issue; but one would never know what ploy he could have up his sleeve.

Du Jingtang shook his head and walked inside, leaving only Xia Ruoxin standing outside. Deep inside her heart, it had actually long become a cloud of mess. She clasped her hands together. Whether this man was a swindler or not seemingly had nothing to do with her.

Qin Luo sluggishly sat atop a chair. Upon seeing Chu Lui enter, his eyelids barely lifted. It was only when his gaze landed on the woman who last entered that he finally sat up and placed the wine glass in his hand aside.

He immediately stood up and approached Xia Ruoxin. ”Hi, we meet again. Do you still remember me?” He lowered his head, carefully using his eyes to outline Xia Ruoxin's face that had seemingly not changed a bit in four years.
