Chapter 587 - Chasing Her Away (1/2)

Xia Ruoxin looked questioningly at Gao Yi. Was Wei Lan going to accept her so easily? Wasn't it a little too fast?

Gao Yi simply smiled and nodded his head. Wei Lan loved them; therefore, naturally, she respected what they like and liked what they love.

”Thank you, Auntie.” She was still a little embarrassed to call her mother. After all, she had yet to marry Gao Yi; and that word 'mother'… she hadn't said it in a very long time. She didn't really know how to start.

”That's alright, you can say it next time.” Wei Lan had no intention of forcing her as well. ”That's right.” She looked left and right. ”Can I see the child for a while?” That child, she hadn't gotten a clear look at her the entire time.

”Yes, she's asleep.” Xia Ruoxin opened the door. Rainy's small body was shrunk on the sofa, and she was hugging a doll in her small hands. With such exquisite features, the child looked really beautiful, very adorable.

What a pretty child. Wei Lan stood by the door, not wanting to disturb the sleeping child. As expected, she had a good eye—a beautiful pair of mother and daughter, especially that child, absolutely endearing.

”Ruoxin, could you take care of Rainy for a while? My mother and I have some things to discuss.” Gao Yi walked over and placed his hands on both of Xia Ruoxin's shoulders as he spoke comfortingly. ”I'll be right back, don't worry.” He pushed Xia Ruoxin's loose hair behind her ear, and this intimate action made Gao Xin raised his eyebrows. So his boss turned out not to be a piece of wood.

He also had times where he was romantic; it just depended on the person.

For example, towards that woman—Bai Luoyin, he was always scrupulous and methodical. However, with Xia Ruoxin, he was different. This was actually his true personality, right? This was his actual older brother as well. It was just that his brother seemingly hadn't told Sister Ruoxin that he did—in fact—have a relationship with Bai Luoyin back then.

However, it seemed like it didn't matter whether he said it or not. After all, it was already something that happened a long time ago.

”Alright,” Xia Ruoxin agreed, ”I understand.” She actually understood. Gao Yi hadn't met his mother and his brother for three years already. He must have had a lot to say to them. She was fine with it. She could take good care of herself and her daughter.

It was only then that Gao Yi felt at ease. Presumably, nobody would dare to mess with her yet. That's why certain things… he had to discuss them over with his mother first as well. After Gao Yi left, Xia Ruoxin closed the door and walked back to Rainy's side. She sat on the sofa, and Rainy's eyelashes fluttered open. Then, she rubbed her eyes.

”Mommy…” She reached out her small hands to let Xia Ruoxin carry her. ”Mommy, Rainy's scared. That Grandpa's so fierce,” she spoke carefully, hugging the doll in her hands a little tighter.

”It's alright. Look, Mommy and Dolly are here. Rainy doesn't have to be scared.” Xia Ruoxin gently stroked her daughter's hair. At that moment, it was faintly possible to see a small wound on Rainy's forehead that was left behind from the accident. Rainy had become very timid and easily afraid. Perhaps that was also an aftereffect of the accident.

Just then, somebody knocked on the door. Xia Ruoxin stood up and strangely looked towards the door. Didn't he just leave? Why did he come back? Had he forgotten to take something?

She hastily walked forward and opened the door.

The door opened, and the person who stood in the entrance made Xia Ruoxin instinctively pause for a moment. It wasn't Gao Yi, and it wasn't a person: it was two people.

Bai Zhenfeng, Gao Yi's adoptive father, and Bai Luoyin, the fiancé that Gao Yi had never acknowledged. At the same time, she was also Bai Zhenfeng's biological daughter. They both had the family name 'Bai' while Gao Yi's family name had always been 'Gao'.
