Chapter 662 - Breaking her Plate (2/2)
She really did not like the man now and wanted to be as far from him as possible. However, she did trust him, and she could entrust him with Rainy.
After twenty years, she understood the man well.
He was cold, but he was not heartless.
He could be vicious but never to his family.
He was firm, and she did not want to pursue the matter any further.
Outside the door, Chu Lui carried his daughter up in a flurry of excitement as he kissed her. ”Baby, Dad—no, Uncle's really happy to be able to eat with Rainy again.”
Rainy was a little confused. She touched her face confusedly as she looked between the door and Chu Lui. However, when the man placed a spoon next to her mouth, she took it in all the same.
Xia Ruoxin did not prepare a lot of food, just enough for herself and Rainy. By the time Chu Lui was done feeding Rainy, there was barely anything left for him, but he finished all the food just the same.
Xia Ruoxin was indeed really busy. She still owed others a dozen paintings. She had to work overtime to finish them. She was hoping to get a loan enough to buy a small house and repay it in installments.
The current place was a little too small for her liking. She was used to bigger houses, and Rainy had to go to school in the future. This place was not very convenient either. In the case of bad weather, it would be tough for her to get around since she did not know how to drive.
One had to plan for the future, right?
Chu Lui was never part of her plans. They had nothing to do with each other, and neither had the two families. She was just getting in the zone when she heard a commotion from outside. Something seemed to have been broken.
She placed her brush down and hurried out. The noise seemed to be coming from her kitchen.
She was stunned by what she saw when she entered.
”Chu Lui!”
”En?”
”Get out.” She pointed towards the outside, her eyes full of fire.
”Sorry, I was just trying to help.” Chu Lui shrank into a corner of the kitchen, his hand still carrying Rainy. The little girl sucked on her tiny fingers, knowing that she had made a mistake.
The kitchen was barely big enough for one, not to mention three. Even though Rainy was small and barely took up any space, the man's size made up for that. Besides, the kitchen did not have a lot of headroom, and he had to bend over to fit himself into the confined area.
Fragments were scattered on the floor, and there were soap duds on his hands.
This was not the first time that CEO Chu had done the dishes, but it ended in failure, simply because these bowls were not made of plastic.
He broke a grand total of two bowls and three plates. Everything made of ceramics was broken, except for Rainy's which was almost impossible to break.
”Out.” Xia Ruoxin picked up Rainy from the man. She then opened the door and threw the man out as Rainy hugged her door and sat quietly on the side.
Chu Lui was chased out of the house with soap and water on his clothes, but he was not mad.
Bang! Xia Ruoxin locked the troublemaker outside the door. Out of sight, out of mind.
She put her hand on her waist and took a deep breath as if holding something in until she finally managed to even her emotions. With a resigned expression, she walked into the kitchen and cleaned up the fragments. These were all the crockery she had. What was she going to eat with now?
It was much later when she was done cleaning up.
