Chapter 668 - It was Over (2/2)

Then, she sat down and ate.

Rainy could also feel that Xia Ruoxin was not in a good mood recently so she needed to behave and listen to her mother.

Chu Lui ate his food, but he had kind of lost his appetite.

This was clearly what he wanted, but at that time, the atmosphere was suffocating him. He could not breathe.

Just like that, they finished their meal in silence. Xia Ruoxin kept all the bowls and chopsticks and asked Rainy to put on her shoes. Even though that day was a weekend, but they still had to look for a job.

She entered the house again and changed before coming out. Chu Lui and Rainy were sitting opposite each other and just stared at each other for quite some time already.

“Rainy, come over.” Xia Ruoxin walked over and waved to her daughter. She pressed her lips together once she saw Chu Lui who was still in the living room. Had he not left? It was going to be eight; was he not afraid that he would be late? She wanted to say something, but after much consideration, she decided not to. That company was his anyway, he could go whenever he wanted; and he could even play truancy if he wished.

Rainy placed the toy in her hand down and walked to Xia Ruoxin’s side while Chu Lui was like a human pillar and stood really still. He smiled bitterly. Compared to the past, he had made an improvement.

Even if she ignored him, at the very least, he could come into the house officially.

Xia Ruoxin helped Rainy wear her shoes, but Rainy kicked her legs from time to time as she was obviously not used to people touching her foot. Chu Lui looked down at his big feet; actually, he was the same, too.

After helping Rainy wear her shoes, Xia Ruoxin held Rainy’s hand. This was still his place; if he wanted to stay, he could. Anyway, she did not have anything valuable that she could lose.

“Where are you going?” Chu Lui asked as he walked up hurriedly. Where was she bringing Rainy to? Was she going to leave again?

Xia Ruoxin held her daughter’s hands, and Rainy looked up at her mother and blinked her big eyes.

“Looking for a job.” Xia Ruoxin walked around him and continued moving forward. She was not him. Even without going to work, he had a big company to make money for him; but she still had to work and provide for her daughter.

“I can…” Once Chu Lui opened his mouth, he received a stare from Xia Ruoxin. “It’s okay. I want to look for a job myself. We are not related anymore.” She still had not forgotten that they were no longer related.

Their only relationship was that they had a common daughter. However, she wanted to raise her daughter with her own capabilities. She could do so in the past; she could do it now as well.

Chu Lui’s brows were knitted tightly together. He had never seen such a stubborn person like Xia Ruoxin. He finally understood her persistence in this matter and her even stubborn persistence in not forgiving him.

“Ruoxin, wait.” He held Xia Ruoxin back and stood in front of her to block her way. His huge body had blocked the entrance. “Ruoxin, if you want a job, I can help you look for one.” Xia Ruoxin looked at him and shook her head. She knew what she could do, but even in the big company of his, she had no place in it at all. This was no different from using him.

Perhaps some would say that she was silly for being so stubborn. However, she just did not want to be related to him in so many ways. She was more afraid that he would snatch her daughter away from her as she still did not know when he was lying or not. Perhaps she was still haunted by the past.

If she could distance herself, then she would do so to the best of her ability. Once they found a house, they would leave this place.

“Ruoxin, are you really going to do this? You want to take Rainy along with you to work? Can you bear to see her run everywhere with you? Can you bear to leave her alone?” Chu Lui continued on persistently. No matter what she said, he would not allow her to take Rainy to work.
