Chapter 695 - Could he Sleep with his Daughter? (2/2)

“I think she doesn’t want to see you.” His facial expression was distant and cold.

“Without you, she’s having a good life. Even though it is a bit tough, she is still independent and does not depend or owe anyone anything.”

It was as if that sentence had sucked away all of Shen Yijun’s energy. Her pale lips quivered, and she could not say a word.

…

Not sure when, but it was already dark outside. In a faraway place, the sun that looked like a burnt cloud was like fog and snow.

At night, Chu Lui came over to eat again. In the meantime, both of them were still using their usual way of interaction. They did not talk much and were just eating their own food.

“I went to the Xia household today,” Chu Lui suddenly said as if it was not intentional but on purpose at the same time.

The chopsticks in Xia Ruoxin’s hand stopped for a while before she continued to take food for herself nonchalantly.

“She asked about you.”

“Really?” Xia Ruoxin said without a care.

“I don’t need her anymore.”

Suddenly, Chu Lui felt his heart sink. He really wanted to ask: ‘Then, what about me? Do you still want me?’

Just that—in the end, he did not say it out loud; and he did not ask. He was afraid he would get the same reply of ‘whatever, it’s okay; I don’t need it anymore’.

…

The corner of the living room was the small dumb cat’s territory. Rainy was currently having a staring contest with the cat. She carefully picked up the cat and placed it beside her face; she loved the fluffy feeling.

The silly cat licked its small owner’s face before curling up into a ball and accompanying its small owner.

“Can I sleep with Rainy tonight?”

Chu Lui asked Xia Ruoxin after dinner. Actually, it was a request. Ever since he knew that he had a daughter, he never had the chance to sleep with her, tell her bedtime stories, wash her feet, or hear her calling for Daddy because she needed milk.

Xia Ruoxin stood up and started clearing the table. When Chu Lui thought she would not reply and would not agree, he heard her warm voice.

“If she was willing to go with you, I have no opinion.”

After this, she brought the bowls back into the kitchen.

Chu Lui’s face finally cleared up, and all the dark aura had gone away. Even though he still did not smile, the lips that were curved up; and the ice-cold eyes had actually melted.

Chu Lui carried Rainy in one hand and her Dolly in the other to go out. The small princess only knew that she was going to sleep with Uncle today and did not have any objections to it.

After she opened the door, Rainy was as if in her own home. Xia Ruoxin had no clue that the house Chu Lui lived in was renovated in the exact same way as hers; even the furniture and household appliances were almost the same.

It was because of their similarity so Rainy could not differentiate if it was her home or not.

“Come on, baby, let’s wash our feet.”

Chu Lui carried his daughter and placed her on a stool. He took a bucket of water over, and once his big hand touched his daughter’s foot, Rainy started giggling.
