Chapter 726 - Secret with Uncle (1/2)

She carried her daughter and a huge bag and walked forward. She admitted that her temper was really bad. If she could tone down, she could have what many other women wanted their whole life; but she did not want them and did not need them.

She only wanted to live peacefully with her daughter. The Chu family just spelled trouble for her. In the past, Chu Lui hated her; and now, Song Wan hated her. She did not think adding another Chu Xiang would do any good to her and her daughter.

She opened the door and walked in. She had not returned home for a long time so there was a thick pile of dust everywhere. Firstly, she placed Rainy on the bed in the bedroom before taking out a new blanket from the cupboard to cover her. Luckily, the house was still relatively clean even though they had not been back for quite some time.

The blankets and all were not very dirty; just that their furniture was slightly dusty.

She walked out softly and closed the door before going to the kitchen to take out a pot of water to wipe the house. When the house was finally done and the clothes were washed, she was very tired; and her back ached. At that time, the door was pushed open slightly; and Rainy peeked out while carrying a dolly in her hand.

“Mommy.”

Once she saw Xia Ruoxin, she ran forward excitedly and hugged her leg.

“Mommy, we’re home.”

“Yes, we are.” Xia Ruoxin squatted down and arranged her daughter’s hair. She smiled at her daughter. “Mommy will go buy vegetables in a while so Rainy needs to obediently stay at home, okay?”

“Okay.” Rainy obediently agreed. She would behave and not run around.

Xia Ruoxin stood up and held her daughter’s hand before letting her sit on a stool. She passed the dolly to her, and she casually arranged her clothes before going out. Actually, she was exhausted as she had not rested since she came home. However, she still had to buy groceries; if not, she and her daughter would not have things to eat at night.

She walked hastily, and the wind would blow the hair on her shoulders from time to time. She placed the hair strands behind her ear; her hair had grown, and it was time to cut it.

At that time, a man came out of another flat. He took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and opened the door.

“Uncle.” Rainy, who was sitting on the stool, stood up immediately and ran towards the man who just came in. The man hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her.

Then, he carried her up.

“How many times have I said this? Don’t run around anymore.” The man pinched the child’s thin cheeks which had lost the texture from before. In the past, he could still pinch some meat; but now, he could not feel much skin, let alone meat.

Rainy smiled happily before leaning on the man’s shoulders.

“Did Uncle go earn money and didn’t want to fetch Rainy?”

The child blinked her grape-like eyes innocently and asked curiously. “Did Uncle earn enough money?”

The innocence in the child’s eyes made Chu Lui feel all sorts of guilt. He tightly hugged the daughter in his arms, and at that moment, he felt that he was a failure as a father.

He clearly had so much wealth, but why did his daughter have to suffer all the time?
