Chapter 564 - He Wouldnt have Sold the Child, Would He? (2/2)

And the gaze of a man that endlessly followed her like a shadow.

The mirrors made the man's faintly pale complexion and chapped lips more evident. On his face, the cold and ruthless expression had long disappeared; and in his eyes, there was only a deep-seated and irresolvable emotion, repressed but intense.

This was a weird place; the people sitting here couldn't avoid each other's expressions.

Chu Lui's lips curled into a smile, the man also starting to notice his surroundings. Actually, this was a really good place, but why didn't he realize this four years ago? He didn't think things through clearly back then, and that's how he ended up letting their most precious four years slip by.

They simply sat like that in silence. Xia Ruoxin placed both her hands on her knees, refusing to look at other people. However, her heart actually wasn't as composed as she looked. Chu Lui as well; he simply changed the hues of his pupils as he waited, seemingly reminiscing at the same time.

It was only Du Jingtang who was getting impatient. The mirrors reflected his face of impatience, and evidently, he couldn't sit still. He really couldn't sit still any longer. The little cutie was inside for such a long time already. That man couldn't have gotten some ideas after seeing how beautiful the little cutie was, right? No way, he frantically stood up, rushing into the room without another word.

However, even before he reached the entrance, the doorman blocked his path. ”Sir, my apologies. Mr. Qin doesn't like to be disturbed by others while he's working.” That professional voice and polite way of speech made Du Jingtang not know how to lose his temper for a moment.

”Cousin.” Du Jingtang hastily backed away and sat next to Chu Lui. ”Cousin, say… could that she-man have decided to kidnap the little cutie? She's already been inside for close to an hour. He wouldn't have decided to sell our little cutie away after seeing how beautiful she was, right?”

Upon hearing his words, Xia Ruoxin had a strong urge to roll her eyes. This Qin Luo wasn't somebody who lacked money; there was no way he would sell children. Furthermore, the place he went into had no back door, and this man's temper had always been as such. The last time he helped her, it was also like that. What's more was that he took more than an hour; she was made to be a wooden block for about an hour plus.

This time, it should be about the same. Thinking up to here, her heart finally felt at ease. This Du Jingtang was thinking too much. He probably watched too much television. That's why he always ended up thinking too complicatedly about everything.

However, from another point of view, he certainly did like Rainy a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so worried about her. Rainy sure was fortunate. Perhaps, she had gone through some hardsh.i.p.s before she was three. However, now, she was a fortunate child. She had a grandfather who loved her so dearly, an uncle like this, Gao Yi, and even Chu Lui.

Although he wasn't really qualified to be her father, it was hard not to admit that right now, he was doing great—really great. Going so far as to disregard his own leg just to save his daughter.

However, no matter how much Chu Lui wanted to be a good father and no matter how hard he tried, the things that she had to insist on… she was still going to stick through with it. Rainy was her daughter, and she had nothing to do with the Chu family.

Du Jingtang continued his endless chatter of complaints.

Chu Lui slightly lifted his head, his eyebrows sweeping towards Du Jingtang, giving him a look that said 'you're an idiot'.
