Chapter 628 - How was She Going to Choose (2/2)

”I think…” Wei Lan licked her dry lips. This decision was harder than she thought it would be.

”I was thinking of moving over to your place for these few days; what do you think? I can move out when I find another house.”

Xia Ruoxin loosened the grip on her hand and placed the fruit juice on the table.

She stood up and surveyed the big house. ”You can stay in whichever room you want. I will help you tidy it up now.” She already knew Wei Lan's choice. Luckily, Wei Lan was not Shen Yijun. Luckily, Gao Yi and Gao Xin had a good mother.

”Thank you.” Wei Lan's lips quivered. She did not bring anything with her, and she could not return to the Bai family for now—at the very least. She knew Bai Zhenfeng's character really well, and she was afraid that he would resort to all kinds of means to save Bai Luoyin. She had already ruined her own son's marriage; she could not ruin the rest of his life anymore.

Xia Ruoxin tidied up a guest room on the first floor so that Wei Lan could move in anytime. Actually, there was not much to tidy up as she would clean the room once every few days. All she needed to do was to change the bed sheets, and Wei Lan could move in already.

She cycled out to buy some groceries as she needed more ingredients for the guest in her house. Moreover, judging from Wei Lan's situation, she probably had not eaten a good meal in days. In those few days, she had already slimmed down a lot. If she still did not eat proper food, she would collapse.

When she came back, Wei Lan was already carrying Rainy and accompanying her to watch cartoon shows.

”Mommy, you're back.” Once Rainy saw her, her eyes lit up; and she hurriedly jumped down the sofa and ran over to hug Xia Ruoxin's legs, her cheeks stuck to her legs. After a year, this child still had not grown taller and was still small, but she did grow more muscular and a bit chubbier.

Xia Ruoxin ruffled her daughter's hair and pushed her shoulders. ”Play with your granny. Granny is unhappy so Rainy, you need to talk to her more.”

”Okay,” agreed Rainy obediently. She let go of her mother's leg and ran to Wei Lan and chatted with her nonstop. Wei Lan extended her hands and carried Rainy. When no one was watching, tears had already swelled up in her eyes; but she did her best to resist and not let the tears fall.

Three dishes and one soup was a traditional Chinese meal. Xia Ruoxin had always loved eating Chinese food and not so much of Western food, so at home, she had always been cooking her own food.

”Auntie, please eat more.” Xia Ruoxin served food to Wei Lan. Wei Lan put down her bowl and shook her head. ”I don't want to eat.”

”Auntie, please eat.” Xia Ruoxin gave Wei Lan more food. ”Gao Yi's situation is not looking very good now. He needs you. If your body collapses, what is Gao Yi going to do?

”His drug addiction is very serious, and rehabilitation is a very painful process. Auntie, we have a long way to go, and we must fight this ruthless battle.”

Wei Lan held her chopsticks tightly and picked up her bowl to send food into her mouth. Meticulously, Xia Ruoxin had noticed that tears would drop from the corner of Wei Lan's eyes. This meal, she ate it while holding back her tears, and maybe, she had swallowed her past alongside her food.

At night, after Rainy had fallen asleep, Xia Ruoxin came out to see Wei Lan sitting on the sofa with the television on. However, she knew that Wei Lan was not focusing on the program as her eyes looked blank; and she could not focus.

She walked over, sat down, and held Wei Lan's hand tightly.
