Chapter 792 - How Did She Come Back? (1/2)

“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin could only go back to her room. She really wanted to sleep as the churning pain from just now almost took away all her strength.

Once she lay down, she fell asleep in no time. At this time, the door opened; Chu Lui walked in and sat at the bedside. He extended his hand to lightly caress her face. She seemed to be recuperating well, but her skin was pale. She was originally a fair-skinned person, and Rainy had inherited this trait; she was small and like a ball of glutinous rice. Just that, after spending so much time at the gold island, she was tanned. However, her skin should turn back in a few years, but she did not know when her body would return to its original shape.

He covered her with the blanket before walking out and to his daughter’s side.

“Daddy, I’m done.” Rainy showed her homework to Chu Lui and was waiting for a compliment.

“My baby is so smart.” Chu Lui’s eyes scanned across like a laser and knew that she had written everything correctly. This child’s intelligence followed him and not her mother’s which would only allow her to be bullied.

Rainy happily hugged her father.

Chu Lui kissed his daughter’s face and carried his daughter with one hand while he called on the other.

“Mm, I want to reserve a table. What time?” He raised his wrist to calculate the time. “Seven-thirty. Remember to ask your head chef to make sweet and sour fish. Ask him to pick the one with lesser bones; my daughter wants to eat it.”

Rainy blinked, and her pair of eyes smiled until it was in the shape of a crescent moon. Chu Lui threw his phone aside and carried her up to play. This child’s innocent laughter could really chase his frustrations away.

At this point, none of them knew that in the other room, Lin Qing was using his might to rip his book apart.

He ripped page by page. A face that was originally not very big was currently filled with all sorts of hatred.

When Xia Ruoxin woke up, the sky was already dark. She placed her hand on her stomach and sat up. Luckily, her stomach was not in pain already.

She walked into the washroom and heaved a sigh of relief. Her reflection in the mirror did not look too pale, and there was meat on her face, not the skeleton that she was before. Actually, she did not even know how she looked like when she was on the gold island. However, one look at Shen Wei, and she knew that she must have been really ugly. It was also rare that Chu Lui got to stare at that face of hers when he saved her from that place.

She washed her face, tidied herself up, and came out. By that time, Rainy was already dressed and was carrying a new bunny backpack. She was even wearing a hat on her head and was currently sitting on Chu Lui’s lap, munching on something in her mouth.

Xia Ruoxin stood at the entrance and was thinking that this must be blood relations. In the past when she was with Gao Yi—no matter how close they were, they were not as physically close when compared to Chu Lui. It turned out that there was something different. It turned out that without the blood relation, one could not invest too much in it.

“Are you done?”

Chu Lui carried his daughter with one hand and asked Xia Ruoxin.

“Mm, I’m done. I’ll call Xiao Qing.”

Xia Ruoxin touched her face and walked to Lin Qing’s door before knocking on it lightly.

“Xiao Qing, let’s go. We’re going out to eat.”

Once Lin Qing heard the voice, he hurriedly shoved the litter paper into his bag before walking out.

“Let’s go.” Xia Ruoxin held Lin Qing’s hand. He lowered his head as if he was embarrassed, but he actually really hated it and wanted to pull his hand back. In front, Chu Lui was holding his daughter with one hand and playing rock-paper-scissors with the other. How could this CEO Chu play such a childish game so happily?
