Chapter 609 - Gifts or Well-Wishes (2/2)
”Sister Ruoxin, thank you.” He wholeheartedly thanked her. All these years, it turned out that he was the one who was the most blinded. In the future, he wasn't going to be like that again. He was going to take good care of his mother, and he wasn't going to stab at his mother's already weak heart anymore.
”It's fine.” Xia Ruoxin lowered her head, and her brush touched against the canvas, creating a 'Sha, Sha' sound.
She was a mother; she understood a mother. She was also a woman, and she understood women as well. Wei Lan was a mother, but at the same time, she was also an ordinary woman.
If she could be a little more selfish like Shen Yijun, perhaps her days would have been better. However, she wasn't; and she didn't walk down that road.
Her brush continued to gently touch against the canvas paper, but for some unknown reason, the paper in front of her suddenly became wet. Drops of water dripped down from above. Was it raining? How could that be possible? She was indoors.
”Sister Ruoxin…”
Gao Xin called out her name.
”Oh, sand got into my eyes,” Xia Ruoxin wiped the corner of her eyes. Her smile showed on her lips, and her sorrow showed on the corners of her eyes.
Gao Xin choked up, speechless.
Eighteenth of March… nobody knew what day it was, but Gao Yi's wedding was set on this date.
Xia Ruoxin left her daughter at Mrs. Mei Fu's house. That was also the house of the little swarthy girl that Rainy was friends with. She went there once herself.
At that moment, the sun was warm; and the season was perfect. Everything was heading in a wonderful direction. It was just that her heart was overcast. All around her were white-skinned and blue-eyed foreigners. Her black hair and black eyes were abnormally distinct here.
She thought that she should bring a gift to Gao Yi's wedding. However, as she paced about, she still couldn't think about what gift to give him. In the end, she picked out a small crystal piano.
Bai Luoyin liked pianos. Giving this should be a good choice, right?
In this world, nobody was like her. It was her boyfriend's wedding, and she still wanted to personally pick out a present for it—even writing well-wishes on it. Of course, she knew as well, that perhaps, nobody wanted her to attend the wedding.
She held her present and stood at the entrance of the Bai family's yard. She didn't knock on the door; she simply waited there. Until somebody came over, and she hid herself into a corner instead. A car stopped, and the doors to the yard opened. A man and a woman walked out of the car one after the other.
The woman wore a white one-piece dress, and the diamond necklace on her neck was exceptionally eye-catching. The woman intimately leaned her head against the man's shoulder, and the man's eyes darkened. As he tilted his head, he said something to the woman; whereas the woman covered her lips and smiled. Evidently, the man's words amused her.
It was only after they entered that Xia Ruoxin walked out from the corner.
She touched her own chest. It hurt slightly; however, it seemed like it didn't really hurt that much anymore.
Perhaps, it was still that sentence… because she hadn't fallen completely in love. Yes, because she had yet to fall in love with him.
The doors closed once again, separating the inside and outside into two worlds. Xia Ruoxin lowered her head. Her two hands held the crystal piano that she bought, and yet she didn't know how to have it sent in.
”Ruoxin?” The sudden voice made Xia Ruoxin abruptly turn around, only to see Wei Lan hastily walking over. Her face was filled with shock and surprise.
