Chapter 660 - Reward Mr. Chu with a Bowl of Rice (2/2)

It really had the feeling of a home. In the past, his clothes were placed properly in sets, and everything was done for him by his helpers. It was the same even when Li Manni was there. He never had such a feeling before. His hands grazed past Xia Ruoxin's clothes. Her clothes were simple, but some were old. However, she still could not bear to throw them away. He took out his own set of clothes and walk into the small bathroom. All his toiletries were indeed placed at the same place and were not moved at all.

Ten minutes later, he had swiftly tidied himself up before going out. Rainy was already sitting on the chair and was shaking her leg from time to time. Of course, she was also touching the bowl in front of her as she was hungry.

Chu Lui rushed over and sat down as he was afraid his daughter would starve. The food on the table was not a lot and was all made from the ingredients he bought that day. He bought a lot, but it was all the same kind of vegetable as he only knew how to cook one kind so he bought the same ones. However, even if it was just one type of vegetable—after Xia Ruoxin's cooking, it became something with a completely different taste and was delicious.

Xia Ruoxin lowered her head and ate the food in her bowl. Just that, she was not sure if the person—who was used to eating delicacies made by famous chefs—would be used to eating her light porridge. She looked up, and her chopsticks stopped in their motion while Chu Lui looked a bit sheepish.

”Sorry, I'm really very hungry.” He began wolfing down his food after he finished his sentence. He was not putting on a show or lying, but he really was hungry. He only ate a bowl of rice the day before so as a grown man, he was starving.

However, he did not forget about Rainy. He placed all the good food in her small bowl before looking at Xia Ruoxin, but Xia Ruoxin only looked up once before lowering her head for the rest of the meal.

After all, he did buy many things for Rainy. This meal was then a token of their appreciation. After he was done eating, Chu Lui stood at one side, but Xia Ruoxin did not ask him to leave. Then, he continued playing with Rainy. He stayed for a long time and had almost forgotten that he needed to report for work. If this went on, his reputation as a workaholic would be tarnished. Chu Lui had never been late even if he was very tired and busy.

Xia Ruoxin took her daughter's hand and stood aside, waiting for the man to leave. Even though she did not say much, but the look of chasing her guest away was clear on her face. Rainy clutched her mother's clothes and looked up at her with her eyes wide open.

Chu Lui held his own hand with much difficulty before opening his mouth.

”Well, I'll go first.”

Xia Ruoxin did not say goodbye as there was nothing good about him anyway.

”Mommy, Uncle left.” Rainy turned around and pulled on her mother's clothes.

”Yes, Uncle left.” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter back into the house.

”Rainy wants to sleep.

”Mommy, Dolly.” Rainy rubbed her eyes and was looking for her doll again. Xia Ruoxin took the doll from the cupboard and placed it in her daughter's arms.

Rainy hugged the doll and rubbed her face against it. In no time, she was off to dreamland.
