Chapter 599 - Ill Come Find You (2/2)

He put down the towel and then sat next to Rainy, pulling her small body into his embrace. Her eyes were still red, just like a rabbit's. Extremely pitiful but unbelievably adorable at the same time.

”Rainy, tell Daddy, where's your doll? Why did you change it?” There was seemingly a deeper meaning to his question. Rainy lifted her head and glanced at Xia Ruoxin first. Then, she looked back at Gao Yi again, faintly wrinkling her small face. She seemed to still be a little vexed.

Xia Ruoxin's hands were filled with a layer of perspiration.

”Rainy got Dolly wet so Dolly's resting now.” As she spoke, she let out a sweet smile. Then, she lowered her head again and hugged her new doll. Mommy didn't want Rainy to tell Daddy about it. That's why she had to listen to Mommy.

Gao Yi's eyes faintly shimmered. Then, he stood up and walked to Xia Ruoxin's side. He placed his hand on her shoulder and firmly pulled her close to him.

”Ruoxin, I'll come find you tonight.” His voice was extremely soft, almost as if he was repressing something. Xia Ruoxin's body froze for a moment, and her mind went blank. She understood what he meant—she really did.

”I'll come over,” said Gao Yi before bending down and giving Xia Ruoxin a kiss on her face that had no warmth to it. His lips were very cold, and so was her face. Xia Ruoxin's long eyelashes fluttered slightly. Gao Yi had already left, but it was only after she heard the sound of the door lightly shutting that she regained her senses. She reached out her hand and caressed her own face. There was, surprisingly, a faint stinging sensation on her face.

She lowered her head and pulled Rainy into an embrace, seemingly wanting to let her daughter who couldn't understand anything give her some courage to face the things that were about to happen.

Rainy strangely tugged at Xia Ruoxin's sleeve. Then, she lightly struggled a bit. ”Mommy, you're hugging Rainy so tightly.”

Xia Ruoxin hastily let her daughter go and pinched her small cheeks. ”Mommy knows.” Rainy smiled sweetly. Children were always so lighthearted and carefree. It was just that, on the contrary, a.d.u.l.ts had to face many things.

Between her and Gao Yi, something had seemingly changed. Things had changed so much that she didn't know how to deal with it. She still preferred her life in the past. Could they really not go back to how they were before?

At night, she coaxed Rainy to sleep. It took a lot of effort for Rainy to finally fall asleep, and in her arms, she was hugging her new doll. Her favorite doll had yet to dry, and she wasn't accustomed to life without her doll. Therefore, she ended up sleeping late.

Perhaps because she was really too tired. When Xia Ruoxin read the third fairytale to her, she finally fell asleep.

After Rainy fell asleep, Xia Ruoxin carefully and quietly stood up, afraid that she would wake her daughter who was in deep sleep.

She closed the door and sat on the sofa outside. The clock on the wall showed that it was eleven o'clock at night. It was so late already; was he still going to come? It was very quiet outside, and she could seemingly hear her own heartbeat. It was somewhat nervous and somewhat repressed. She reached out her own hands and opened them, only realizing then that her palms were practically filled with perspiration.
