Chapter 602 - He Wanted to Get Married (1/2)

No, there was another person. She was the only one who had no worries and lived carefreely. That person was her Rainy. Rainy gripped Xia Ruoxin's hand tightly. The sensitive her had perceived the weird atmosphere in the room, and she unwittingly moved closer to her mother.

”Rainy, come over here to Daddy.” Gao Yi reached out both of his hands. After that day, he seemingly rarely hugged the child as well.

Rainy somewhat hesitantly gripped her mother's hand tightly. Perhaps because she hadn't seen him in a few days, she felt somewhat estranged.

Gao Yi's hands remained in the air, and the smile on his lips seemingly widened a little. However, the disappointment in his eyes thickened as well. Since when did Rainy become estranged from him as well?

Xia Ruoxin released her daughter's hand and rubbed her hair. ”What's wrong? Does Rainy not recognize Daddy anymore? Go on.” She pushed her daughter's tiny figure forward; however, Rainy still remained standing at the same spot. Finally, she walked in front of Gao Yi.

”Daddy…” she said softly, seemingly a little afraid and alienated.

It was only then that Gao Yi pulled Rainy into a tight embrace, letting her sit on his lap. The addition of this soft and tiny figure in his arms, he found it very endearing. He had always known that this child was extremely sensitive, but he didn't expect that she would be able to perceive the undercurrent between a.d.u.l.ts as well.

”Ruoxin, take a seat. What are you standing there for?” Seemingly noticing the stale atmosphere, Wei Lan hastily beckoned Xia Ruoxin over. The entire time, Gao Yi only spared a glance at her, just one glance. However, that one gaze made Xia Ruoxin pause for a moment, feeling a little perplexed. It was also the first time that she sat down so quietly, just like an extremely hard piece of wood.

She didn't know what she had done wrong. Why did Gao Yi look at her with such an unfamiliar gaze? Was it because he was angry? Because of her reaction that day? It was just that she was already using all her strength and efforts to try to accept him again. She just needed a little more time, really just a little more time.

Gao Xin miserably ate his food. A change of cuisine… it was just that he liked Xia Ruoxin's dishes more, whereas—this right now, he had already long gotten sick of it. He glared at Gao Yi. It was all his fault; he was the one who made him have to eat this food that he disliked.

”Mom…” Gao Yi suddenly spoke. Under this stale atmosphere, his voice sounded extremely clear. However, it also appeared cold and hard.

”What's wrong?” Wei Lan confusedly asked her son. Was there something wrong? Why was his expression so grave?

”Mom, I'm going to get married.” He lowered his head and fed Rainy some food. His fingers gently touched Rainy's small cheeks without end, seemingly wanting to remember the sensation.

”I know, I will prepare for it as soon as possible.” It was only then that Wei Lan let out a genuine smile, and the sorrowful look on her face had seemingly faded a lot. If—hypothetically—there was something in this world that could still make her happy, then it would probably be her son's happiness.

Her son was finally creating a family, and Ruoxin—this child—she really did like her a lot.

Xia Ruoxin's fingers that were gripping chopsticks trembled for a moment. She lowered her head, a look of bewilderment flashing across her eyes. She didn't understand why he—who hadn't mentioned this for a long time—actively brought it up at this time.

Actually, this was good, too. Perhaps, as long as they got married, the unsettling feeling between them would disappear; and they would return to how they were before.

”Ah, congratulations, Big Brother Gao, you finally brought it up. I thought that you were going to wait till Rainy grew up and till you grew old to bring it up,” Gao Xin jokingly said. He picked up a few vegetables and placed them into his mouth. Yeah, actually this taste wasn't too bad either, right?

”The person that I want to marry isn't Ruoxin; it's Bai Luoyin.” Gao Yi's voice remained calm. However, everybody who was listening was shocked.

”What?”
