Chapter 569 - She Already Had a Father (2/2)

She tiptoed on her tiny legs, desperately trying to see the person in the car clearly. However, she was really too small; and she couldn't see anything.

The car door opened, and Chu Lui hastily got off. He squatted down in front Rainy and reached out his hands to caress his daughter's tender face. Suddenly, he felt his heart ache.

”Rainy,” he called out his daughter's name. Rainy looked at Chu Lui with her pair of discerning eyes. Then, she reached out her small hands and placed them on Chu Lui's face.

Chu Lui choked up slightly. This was the first time—the first time his daughter took the initiative to approach him. It was really the first time. He had never known what tears felt like. But because of his daughter's trivial action, it made even a big man like him feel so touched that he was about to cry.

He picked up Rainy and squeezed her small body tightly in his embrace. ”Rainy, did you recognize Daddy's car?” He could barely take his hands off Rainy's small face as he spoke.

Rainy lightly nodded her head, answering his question.

”You're really very smart. Do you know that? You're a lot like Daddy because Daddy's smart too.” He wasn't narcissistic; it was a fact that he had always possessed a high IQ. Besides, he heard from his parents that Rainy had a really good memory. This side of her resembled him—resembled the Chu family.

Sometimes, even her temper had an uncanny resemblance to his. Although her appearance took after Xia Ruoxin, her intelligence and stubbornness were just like her father.

Rainy didn't quite understand. She rubbed her face against Chu Lui's chest—it felt different from Daddy's. However, she seemingly liked the smell on this Daddy more. Although he was very bad to Rainy last time; right now, he was rather nice.

She wasn't angry with him anymore,

”Rainy, can you call me 'Daddy'?” Chu Lui's hands gently caressed his daughter's face as he carefully asked. She had never called him 'Daddy' before—not even once. Because right now, her Daddy wasn't him; it was Gao Yi. Besides, he knew that he had no right to be her father. Although, he really did want to hear her call him Daddy at least once.

He only had this one and only daughter. If she didn't call him 'Daddy', then there might not be any other person to call him 'Daddy' for the rest of his life. He had already lost his right to be a father a long time ago.

”Can you, Rainy?” He tried his best to sound gentle. The cold and tough Chu Lui had never been so careful before. Neither had he ever pleaded with somebody like this before.

Rainy's lips remained tightly shut. She still couldn't bring herself to say the word 'Daddy'.

”Rainy already has a Daddy,” she softly said. She already had a Mommy and a Daddy. Her friends only had one Mommy and one Daddy, and it was the same for her.

Chu Lui felt like his heart had been ruthlessly stabbed. That stinging pain made the corner of his lips fall bitterly.

”Alright, Daddy isn't forcing you. If you don't want to call me 'Daddy', then you don't have to.” He leaned against his car, carefully carrying the child in his arms. Perhaps, he would really never get to hear his daughter call him 'Daddy' in this lifetime.

”Mommy…” Rainy suddenly started to struggle. She had already spotted Xia Ruoxin walking towards the nursery from a distance. Chu Lui was afraid of hurting her so he hastily placed her down. However, before he could stop her, Rainy's tiny legs had already run forward.

”Rainy, don't run, don't run.” Chu Lui was shocked. Without his crutches, he walked with extreme difficulty. An unbearable pain radiated from his thigh with every step that he took. However, he clenched down on his teeth and continued his journey forward.
