Chapter 737 - Can She Go Back? (1/2)

“Sister Ruoxin said that she would be back in the morning, but who knew that she would just disappear until now?”

Chu Lui took out his phone and tried to give Xia Ruoxin a call, but like what Du Jingtang said, her phone was turned off.

Suddenly, Chu Lui had an uneasy feeling in his heart. His intuition told him that Xia Ruoxin was in trouble; if not, she would not ignore Rainy. She could be harsh to anyone, but she could not leave Rainy alone.

“Uncle, where’s Mommy? Rainy wants Mommy.” Rainy raised her pitiful face and asked Chu Lui with her puffy eyes.

“Uncle, Rainy wants Mommy…” She clenched her first and sniffed from time to time.

“Give her a milk bottle.” Chu Lui told Du Jingtang.

“Okay, right on it.” Du Jingtang hurriedly stood up and took it.

He came back rather quickly and passed the milk bottle to Chu Lui.

“Are you dumb?” Chu Lui really wanted to kick him. “What is she going to drink from an empty bottle? Make some milk with the milk powder.”

Du Jingtang was scolded until he had no temper left. He was still thinking of what the use of an empty milk bottle was; it turned out that it was supposed to be used to store milk powder.

“Where’s Mommy? Uncle, where did Rainy’s Mommy go?” Rainy pouted and cried until her voice was almost gone.

“Mommy will be back real soon.” Chu Lui held his daughter tighter. “Rainy, you need to behave. Your Mommy will come back when you behave. If she knows that you cried, she won’t come back anymore.”

“Really?” Rainy sniffed a few times, and tears welled up in her eyes—even her lashes were wet.

“Yes. Uncle won’t lie to Rainy.” He gently ruffled his daughter’s soft hair, but the uneasiness in his heart almost suffocated him.

He said that to his daughter, but in reality, he could not even be responsible for whatever he told Rainy.

In a while, Du Jingtang came over with a bottle of milk.

Chu Lui took it over and placed it in his daughter’s hands. Obediently, Rainy took the bottle with both of her hands and started drinking it. Perhaps she was too tired from crying so as she drank her milk, her eyelashes started fluttering; and she closed her eyes in the end. Sometimes, her mouth would move a little as if she was drinking milk and looked like she was asleep. However, no one could touch her milk bottle. She would wake up once they did.

Chu Lui took the blanket from the sofa and covered her daughter with it. His face was darkened, and the silence was paired with anxiety. As time passed, the colder the atmosphere got.

“Cousin, what are you going to do now? Are we going to look for her?”

Du Jingtang also felt that something was amiss, and as time passed, this feeling became especially obvious.

If her phone had no battery, she could charge it. Even if there was no charging port, she could borrow one. Even if she could not borrow any, there were also public phones. It was going to be a day and a night.

“Let’s wait for a while more.” When Chu Lui said this, his eyebrows knitted even more tightly together.

However, a simple ‘wait’ would require immense self-control and determination. Du Jingtang could not even sit still. He would stand up from time to time and walk to the window, then to another sofa and to the entrance.

Time still passed, minute by minute and seconds by seconds. Rainy was still asleep, and on her eyelashes, there were still some tear droplets.
