Chapter 692 - Don’t Accompany Xiao Jie Jie (1/2)
She made milk from milk powder and gave the cat some biscuits to eat. Even though the silly cat was pretty lazy, one could not deny that it was not picky with food. It would eat whatever it was given, especially milk powder and biscuits. The milk powder and biscuits were both Rainy’s so it was good that they both had the same taste.
After eating, the silly cat crawled back into its own territory and snuggled back into the hut to continue sleeping.
These days, Xia Ruoxin had always been busy with charity things so she had not met Chu Lui in quite a few days. She also had completely forgotten about that man, but when they were eating, she would bring out an extra bowl out of habit.
She fell into a daze as she was staring at the bowl on the table, which made her heart erratic for some reason. Then, she placed the bowl back into the kitchen and came out to eat with Rainy.
“Mommy, is Uncle not coming?” Rainy kicked the chair below the table and scooped a spoonful of rice into the mouth as she asked about that person. The Uncle in her eyes was, of course, Chu Lui.
“Uncle needs to work.” Xia Ruoxin wiped the rice grains from her daughter’s mouth. “Hurry up and eat; even your cat has eaten already.”
“Okay, Rainy would not lose to Meow Meow.” Rainy nodded her head with all her might and ate another spoonful of rice. She muttered to herself, “Uncle was accompanying Xiao Jie Jie to eat, right?”
Xia Ruoxin bit her chopsticks before taking food for herself. Was this child jealous? Or perhaps, this was what it meant to be blood-related. No matter what had happened in the past, blood relations could never be cut off. Rainy had not brought up Gao Yi or called Daddy in a long time; she called Uncle instead. Actually, she had a feeling of discomfort as she felt that her daughter had been bought over.
However, she still could not bear to see the upset expression on her daughter’s face.
Bang! The sound came from the door, and it startled Xia Ruoxin.
Hurriedly, she stood up and carried Rainy. Ever since someone invaded her house overseas, she still had trauma until now. She was thinking of where to hide Rainy: in the closet, cupboard, or balcony?
When she was busy finding a place to hide her daughter, the door opened; and it was as though a bucket of water was doused on her. Even her forehead broke out in cold sweat.
“What are you doing?” A man’s voice was heard, followed by the sound of shoes changing as well as him throwing his clothes on the couch and the familiar sounds of his footsteps.
Xia Ruoxin turned around and saw that Chu Lui had already taken off his coat and went to the kitchen to take a bowl out to eat on his own.
“Why do you have the key to my house? Also, who allowed you to come in at your own will?”
The Xia Ruoxin who had been severely frightened almost went insane. She almost wanted to jump off the building with Rainy. Also, since when did this man have the keys to her house?
“Oh, you’re asking about this?” Chu Lui took out the keys in his pocket and placed it on the table. “I picked it up.”
“Picked it? From where?” Xia Ruoxin placed her daughter down and grabbed that bunch of keys in one go. Once she touched them, she knew it was her own keys. However, it seemed like she had lost them a few days ago, and she could not find it. Perhaps she really did lose it and was found by this man.
However, even if he had picked it up, he could not simply barge into someone else’s house.
