Chapter 674 - Mei Mei is Back Again (1/2)

She felt bad when she saw the desire in the old man’s eyes. She thought about how she would never have gone to the Xia household, no matter how much paradise-like it seemed, if she had a grandpa like that as a child. Unfortunately for her, she did not.

So she could not bear to take Rainy’s grandfather from her since the old man really did dote on her.

Oh, well. She took the materials out and looked over them. No matter what, she could not separate Rainy from her grandpa. That would be unfair to the young child. It was Rainy’s life, not hers.

…

She handed Dolly to her daughter.

“Remember to listen to Grandpa and take care of Dolly,” she said as she gently rearranged her daughter’s braids.

“En, Rainy knows.” Rainy picked Dolly up and rubbed it against her face. She loved her Dolly and could not sleep without her.

“Go on, go have fun with Grandpa.”

Xia Ruoxin stood up and held her daughter’s hand as she brought her daughter over to Chu Lui.

“Thank you, Ruoxin.” Chu Lui picked the little girl up. Every time she was in his arms, he felt an indescribable sense of guilt and heartache. He would give up everything he had for the child in his arms.

Xia Ruoxin waved goodbye to her daughter before she breathed out and shut the door behind her. She was afraid that she would change her mind and take any back and ban her from seeing the Chu family ever again.

“Uncle, where are we going?” Rainy asked as she grabbed onto the man’s clothes and kicked them with her small feet. Chu Lui was unbothered. The suit meant nothing to him in comparison to his daughter.

“Back to Grandpa’s home.” He stopped and pressed the child’s face into his arms. His heart ached at how he remained as an uncle to the child.

“Does Rainy remember Grandpa?” Chu Lui asked the child. He remembered that the child was only close to his dad in the past.

“En.” Rainy kicked around again, leaving a shoe print on Chu Lui’s clothes.

Grandpa was nice to her so she liked him. She remembered who was nice and who was not.

“What about Granny?” Chu Lui asked carefully. Having spent time with Rainy, he realized that she was more mature and understanding than most children. One could talk to her as if she was a young adult.

Rainy kept quiet.

However, Chu Lui heard her mumbling to herself.

“That’s not my granny.”

Did she mean…

Chu Xiang?

Opening the back passenger door, he placed his daughter on the child seat. The seat was a recent installment. He had hired the best designer to make this chair, but this was the first time Rainy was using it. If he had not been afraid of Xia Ruoxin’s dismay, he would have moved in next door as her neighbor. However, that was just a passing thought.

He knew that he did not have that much importance to her.
