Chapter 567 - She Agreed (2/2)

”I didn't think much about it.” He let go of Xia Ruoxin's finger and dragged her out of the kitchen. Then, he took out a first-aid kit from on top of the shelf and carefully treated the wound on Xia Ruoxin's hand.

”What are you so nervous about, Ruoxin?” Gao Yi's hands gently caressed Xia Ruoxin's face. The warmth within his fingers made it very hard for him to put his hands down. Perhaps, he loved and cared for this woman a lot more than he imagined.

But what about her? Did she really love him?

He didn't want to let her go. Neither could he bare to do so. Today, when he saw her walking with that man, he finally understood that there was a feeling called 'jealousy'. It was also the first time that he realized that this kind of emotion… it was really detestable.

Xia Ruoxin reached out her hand and placed it over his hand. Her eyes were filled with his tender expression. When suddenly, an immense sense of guilt washed over her. Recently, she had been troubled by another man, and similarly, he must have been troubled by her.

”Gao Yi, there's really nothing between us. It was just that Du Jingtang ruined Rainy's hair today, and she wouldn't stop crying. So in the end, he gave me a call; and it was only after I headed over that I realized he had called Chu Lui over as well.

”In the end, Chu Lui found a person—the person who curled Rainy's hair. Believe me, Gao Yi. Nothing's ever going to happen between us again. Even if there were no more grudges or hatred between us, it would still be impossible for us to get back together.”

Four years ago, they weren't together. Four years later, it was still going to stay the same. Many things—after passing—remained in the past.

Gao Yi's lips slightly curved upwards. He reached out his hands and pulled Xia Ruoxin into an embrace, resting his head on top of hers. ”Ruoxin, let's get married. Let's give Rainy a family, alright? She should need a family by now.”

He gently sighed. Although his voice still sounded composed, it was not hard to notice the anticipation in his voice. He wanted to do something for himself; he didn't want to lose. It wasn't because of any other reason; he just really loved this woman. He fell in love with this clearly fragile yet extremely determined woman since the first time they met.

Right now, he really didn't want to let her go anymore.

Xia Ruoxin leaned her head against his chest, her eyes slightly getting clouded.

”Okay.” She could hear her own voice sounding a little weak. However, she still agreed. Rainy needed a father, and she also needed a family. Gao Yi— this person—he was it.

Perhaps, they were already married from the start. Didn't she already make this promise with him?

However, why was it that when she said 'okay', she actually felt an urge to cry. Whether this was happiness or sadness—she already didn't care to find out. So be it, she wanted a family and a stable life. This sort of lifestyle, she knew that this man was definitely able to give it to her.

Marrying him would be a woman's happiness because he treated her well—really well. So well that she didn't want to and wasn't willing to reject him.

”Let's go back to England. My family's there; I believe that you'll like them. Let's leave this place.” Gao Yi hugged her a little more tightly in his arms. She had clearly agreed, but why did he still feel this deep sense of sorrow in his heart?

”Okay.” Xia Ruoxin nodded her head again.
