Chapter 726 - Secret with Uncle (2/2)

He carried his daughter to the stool to sit and gently touched her small nose. “Yes, Uncle had earned money and came back. However, you cannot let Mommy know. Does Rainy understand?”

Rainy blinked. Even though she did not know why, she still nodded her head with all her might before extending her pinkie. “Uncle, let’s pinkie-promise. Uncle won’t say, and Rainy won’t either.”

“Okay.” Chu Lui hooked his daughter’s finger and played with her for a while more. When he felt that Xia Ruoxin was going to come home, he left and closed the door behind him. As to why he still had the house keys…

Actually, it was simply because this house used to be his so he would have it naturally. Just that… after putting in so much effort, he had finally broken down her walls one by one. When he had a bit of results—once again, an unbreakable ice wall was built between the two of them.

Xia Ruoxin walked really fast and reached the door. She came back home right after she bought her groceries and did not dare stay outside for too long as she was afraid that her daughter would be scared alone at home.

Ka! The door opened, and when she walked in, she finally calmed down. Rainy was still sitting on the stool and playing on her own. She was muttering something to herself, and even though she could not understand the child’s language, she did not look scared at all.

Rainy looked up, and once she saw Xia Ruoxin, she waved at her.

“Hello, Mommy.”

Xia Ruoxin walked over and ruffled her hair.

“Did you behave?”

“Yes.” Rainy raised her chin and felt that she was very obedient so she wanted her mother to praise her.

Xia Ruoxin pinched her cheeks and let her play on her own while she went to cook.

After so long, it was the first time the mother and daughter had sat down to eat. Habitually, she took out an extra set of bowl and chopsticks from the kitchen. When she placed them down, she realized what she did.

It turned out that habits were really a scary thing. She placed that set of cutlery back into the kitchen before sitting down to give her daughter food. Rainy was still like the past, using her spoon to scoop up rice to eat. It was just that she was not used to seeing no one sitting beside her when she looked over from time to time.

That was why Xia Ruoxin said that habits were not good to have. If they had it, it would lead to another series of misfortunes.

At night, when she was helping her daughter to bathe, she saw the long scar on her daughter’s stomach which made her hatred for the Chu family and Song Wan grow.

She almost did not dare touch Rainy’s stomach while Rainy looked up and smiled at her mother while playing the duck on the water.

She was still the child from before, obedient and cute. She still needed to hear the same story to sleep, and she loved to eat fish. However, she was not the old her anymore.

She had to learn how to live with one kidney.

No matter if it was her body or herself.

The next day, Xia Ruoxin brought Rainy to the kindergarten. Once Teacher Xiao Meng saw Rainy, she happily held her hand. However, she felt heartache. “Why did our Rainy become so thin?”
