Chapter 567 - She Agreed (1/2)

”That Daddy is sick. He's going to go get a flu shot and eat his medication.” Xia Ruoxin squatted down. She reached out her hand and placed it on her daughter's hair. What cute curls—these were given to her by that man.

”Does Rainy like it?” This?” Her hands remained on Rainy's head, fiddling with her small curls.

”I like it. Rainy really likes it.” Rainy touched her own hair as well and then firmly nodded her head. After that, she shook Xia Ruoxin's hand. ”Mommy, let's go home.” She rubbed her eyes. It seemed like she was a little tired.

”Alright, Mommy's bringing you home.” Xia Ruoxin stood up and carried her daughter. Rainy leaned against Xia Ruoxin's shoulder and bit on her thumb.

”Mommy, that daddy, will he be afraid if he's left alone when he's sick? Rainy will.”

”He has his parents with him as well. He won't be scared.” Xia Ruoxin gently placed her hand on her daughter's small back, replying to her daughter's innocent, guileless questions in the same way. At times, her replies contained the most truthful words.

Who wouldn't be afraid in the hospital? However, that man—she was certain that he wouldn't be scared. She didn't even know whether the word 'fear' existed in that man's dictionary.

Her eyes looked forward. For some unknown reason, when she saw Chu Lui dragging his injured leg as he walked towards his car, her heart felt an inexplicable sense of sadness. She didn't know if it was because of him or because of herself.

She carried her daughter all the way home, and just as she was about to pull open the door, somebody opened it from the inside. Gao Yi's figure appeared in front of her, blocking all the light before her eyes.

”She's asleep.” Gao Yi simply carried Rainy into his embrace and walked back into the house. There were several new curls on Rainy's hair, but he wasn't surprised in any way.

”Gao Yi, sorry. You must be hungry. I'll go make some food for you.” Xia Ruoxin looked at the time, only realizing then that she had lost track of time. He must have waited for a long time already.

”No rush, I'm not hungry” Gao Yi shook his head. He placed Rainy onto her bed first and pulled the covers over her body.

”Ruoxin…” He turned around and called out Xia Ruoxin's name, only to find out that Xia Ruoxin had already headed into the kitchen. His fingers gently touched the curls on Rainy's hair as he let out a faint sigh.

Ruoxin, what I want is a woman who loves me, not a woman who makes food for me. Do you understand?

He stood up and headed out of the room. Rainy flipped over her body, habitually reaching out her hands to feel around the bed. Her hands eventually touched something soft, and she took that object into her embrace before sleeping soundly. The object in her arms was her doll.

Gao Yi walked to the kitchen door and leaned against it. He attentively watched over Xia Ruoxin who bustled about the kitchen the entire time. ”I saw the both of you.” His voice was extremely calm. However, it made Xia Ruoxin's hand tremble, and at that moment where she hadn't held the knife properly, she ended up cutting her hand.

Gao Yi quickly approached her. He took her finger over and placed it between his lips.

”Gao Yi. I'm sorry. It's not what you think it is.” Xia Ruoxin frantically shook her head. She could feel the warmth of Gao Yi's lips clearly through her finger. It was just that in the spur of the moment, her heart had already frozen up. It was clearly a heartwarming action and a loving moment, and yet she only felt somewhat embarrassed.
