Chapter 575 - Insincere Well-Wishes (2/2)

In the past, no matter how many times they turned their backs around, she was always the one to look back. However, this time, it was his turn to do so. The two of them brushed past each other just like their fateful encounter once before. Perhaps they were once together; however, they were still separated now. It didn't matter who was at fault. Separation—perhaps that was their destined fate. It was also their life. Moreover, it had become their obsession and also something they had to put down.

The one obsessed with it was Chu Lui, and the one putting it down had become Xia Ruoxin.

”Ruoxin, have you ever felt unwilling to part with something?” Gao Yi pretended to ask casually. She hadn't spoken a word the entire time, and there was a look of disappointment on her face. Was she disappointed? Or was she feeling reluctant to part with this place?

”What?” Xia Ruoxin lifted her head. She didn't clearly hear what Gao Yi had asked her.

”I asked if you are feeling reluctant to leave.” Gao Yi simply smiled. However, there was a faint bitterness to his smile. ”You know, I won't force you to do something you don't want to. It was like that in the past, and it's still the same now. In the future, it will also continue to be that way.

”If you feel a single bit of reluctance to leave, then right now, you can still turn back. I won't force you.” He lowered his head and touched Rainy's small face leaning against his shoulder. The child's tiny hands obediently clutched onto his neck, her long eyelashes gently covering over her adorable face.

Xia Ruoxin hastily shook her head and held Gao Yi's hand again as she spoke. ”Gao Yi, I mean it. I don't feel reluctant, and I'm not regretting it. I really want to live with you and Rainy. Please believe me.” She frantically explained. She meant it, she really meant it. She was always somebody who didn't lie, especially towards Gao Yi.

She said that she was going to leave so she was definitely going to leave. There was nothing here that she couldn't bear to part with.

”Alright, don't be nervous. I didn't say that I don't believe you.” Gao Yi comforted her. His smile was extremely warm. He placed his hands on her forehead, gently pinning her loose hair neatly.

”Alright, let's head home. Look, she's already asleep.” She played too much with the people in the hospital. She was probably too tired to move right now. Gao Yi pointed to Rainy who lay against his shoulder and then squinted his eyes.

”I'm also tired, you're also tired. Let's head back home.” He used the word 'home', and it made Xia Ruoxin suddenly feel inexplicably touched and moved. Home, their home, it was indeed a beautiful place. How could she abandon it? How could she not love it?

Gao Yi opened the car door and passed Rainy carefully over to Xia Ruoxin. He seemingly loved Rainy more than her Mommy. They got onto the car. Just as the car drove off, none of them knew that there was actually a man following them the entire time, up to the moment their figures disappeared. He was still standing there, watching, waiting.

As if his soul had already left with them, and all that was left was his identity.

”Cousin, let it go.” Du Jingtang stood behind him and gently patted his shoulder. He could guess that Chu Lui must have stood there for quite a while already.

”You knew about it since the start didn't you?” Chu Lui didn't turn back. However, it was not hard to hear the hurt in his calm voice.

”Yes.” Du Jingtang nodded his head. ”I knew about it. I knew about it even before Rainy got into the accident. I didn't tell anybody about them heading overseas because this was not something we could change. Whether I said it or not, they were still going to leave. I mean, you found out about it now as well.

”Cousin, they'll be leaving soon, and they'll start a new family. However, Cousin, you don't have to worry. No matter where they go, Rainy will still be your daughter. Your blood will still flow inside of her, and she will still be the Chu family's child.”
