Chapter 693 - Turns Out It was Jealousy (1/2)

“Mommy…” Rainy tugged her mother’s sleeves again and started pouting, making herself seem pitiful.

Xia Ruoxin placed her bowl down and lowered her head to look at her daughter who was about to cry.

“Eat your vegetables next time.”

Rainy pulled a long face.

Should she allow Uncle to accompany her, or should she eat the vegetables she hated the most? Even though she wanted Uncle around, she also did not want to eat disgusting vegetables. She raised her head again and begged her mother with her teary eyes.

“No room for discussion.” Xia Ruoxin continued eating without emotions. She knew she could not reject her daughter. Originally, she wanted a father for her daughter. Even though Rainy still called Chu Lui ‘Uncle’—when she was older, she would tell her that she actually had a father who had the surname ‘Chu’; she was not a fatherless child.

Just that, she was really reluctant for Chu Lui to silently barge into her life again. Even though he had not done anything outrageous, she felt that the man was feeding on everything she and her daughter had built up.

Hence, when her daughter brought this up, she knew that the man would be more brazen in the future. Of course, she would not be courteous to the man and also to the Rainy who was picky with her food.

Rainy frowned and started kicking the table before raising her head and had a look of bravery on her face.

She tugged her mother’s sleeves again.

“Mommy, Rainy promises you… she will eat her vegetables.”

Meanwhile, Chu Lui was just silently eating his food. He also felt that his daughter could not be picky with her food. She was such a skinny child and was almost as thin as a skeleton. However, he was too afraid to stuff rice into her stomach. He had never been a father and did not know how to be one. Chu Xiang was not counted as he did not have a bond with her. On the other hand, he was actually very scared about Rainy.

He was afraid that she would starve, afraid that she would eat too much, and afraid that she would eat too little.

Xia Ruoxin originally thought that Chu Lui would stick around after the meal and annoy her, but in the end, he was pretty sensible and left on his own after the meal, which allowed her to heave a sigh of relief.

In the future—if he came over to accompany her daughter to eat, she could still tolerate him. Just that, she had never expected… Chu Lui was still Chu Lui. He was still a cunning fox who calculated far better and further than anyone else.

When she went out on the second day, she saw someone moving into the house beside hers. She was still thinking that ever since she stayed here, there was no one in the houses beside her. At first, she thought no one was living there; but now, she was going to have new neighbors.

This was until at night when she fetched her daughter home, the door at the house opposite them was opened coincidentally.

Xia Ruoxin wanted to greet them politely. After all, they were neighbors so they would see each other very often. In the end, when she saw who it was, the smile on her face froze.

“Chu Lui, what are you doing here?”

Chu Lui leaned against the door behind him. “I want to accompany my daughter to eat. It’s troublesome to go back and forth so I’ve decided to stay here.”

Before Xia Ruoxin could say anything, Chu Lui interrupted her and did not give her a chance to speak or reject.
