He looked at Xia Ruoxin, a tinge of resolve and seriousness sparkling in his eyes . Ruoxin, no matter what happens—believe me, I will stay by your side . I will not let anybody steal you and Rainy away .

Including that Chu Lui .

He picked up his chopsticks again, and for the first time, he felt that the meal was a little hard to swallow . It was not because the taste of the meal had changed; neither was it because it didn't taste good . It had the same taste as before . Just that he had lost his appet.i.te because he had a lot on his mind .

At night-in the quiet and cozy room, Rainy lay beside Xia Ruoxin . Her eyes were wide open as she listened to the story Xia Ruoxin was telling her . She had to listen to a story every day before bed, or she refused to sleep .

In her arms was her dolly . She stuck her face tightly to her doll .

“Alright, that's the end of the story . ” Xia Ruoxin placed her hands on her daughter's small body, lightly patting her to sleep . She stared into her daughter's bright, large eyes . How was she so energetic today? Usually, she would have been asleep by then .

Rainy's small hands clutched the doll tighter . “Mommy, Rainy only needs Mommy . We don't need that daddy . Rainy doesn't like him . ”

Her voice sounded as tender as usual, but somehow, hearing it made Xia Ruoxin a little astonished . “Rainy, did you find out something?”

“Mommy, Rainy knows everything . ” Rainy periodically blinked her eyes . She was still a kid, and there was a limit to her physicality . A few more sentences, and she would already be too tired to stay awake .

“Mommy, we don't want him . Rainy likes her current daddy, she likes the current mommy, and she likes the current Rainy . I don't want that daddy . Rainy doesn't want him . ”

Her voice gradually became softer as her face leaned towards Xia Ruoxin's bosom . She had fallen asleep .

“Okay, we don't want him; we are fine as we are . ” Xia Ruoxin gently held her daughter's face . She had always known that Rainy was mature, but she never thought that she would understand so much . In reality, she was still young, and there was no need for her to know so much . Xia Ruoxin just wished for Rainy to be a child and leave everything to her mother .

However, ever since she met Chu Lui, she had been in a state of immense unease . Perhaps, she was really just thinking too much . Everything was still as peaceful and quiet as before, and she would never meet Chu Lui again .

Rainy played in her painting room as usual, and Gao Yi headed to work as per normal . Other than to buy daily necessities-outside of work, Xia Ruoxin barely went out . She opened her fridge, only to see that they had to buy some new groceries . She had to go buy fish to boil fish soup for her family . Read the next chapter on our vipnovel . com

After wearing her clothes, she picked up her purse and headed out . She walked into the market and bought an extremely large fish, enough for her family of three to eat .

After paying for the fish, she walked out of the market . Just then, she remembered that there was something else she had to buy . However, the moment she turned around, she heard somebody call out her name .

“Ruoxin, is that you? Is that really you?' The voice sounded slightly excited, even a little shaky .

Ruoxin whipped around and stood in her place, watching as the woman approached her . It turned out to be her, Chu Lui's mother who was also her ex-mother-in-law, Song Wan . Long time, no see… no… actually, they already met not too long ago . Certainly, not a single person in the Chu family was decent .

Song Wan hadn't changed at all, except she looked a little gaunter . Otherwise, she was still very young and elegant . A rich lady like Shen Yijun, a lady from high society . Even though she was aging, she aged with elegance and beauty .

“h.e.l.lo, Aunty Song . ” A very distanced greeting, lacking in enthusiasm . She was never actually her mother anyway; she was Chu Lui's mother . Moreover, she was never Rainy's grandmother; she was Chu Xiang's .

“Ruoxin, I'm sorry, it was our fault . ” Song Wan advanced towards Xia Ruoxin . Thinking back on what the Chu family had done to them for the past four years, Song Wan felt really ashamed and mortified facing Xia Ruoxin .

Therefore, she felt very apologetic towards Xia Ruoxin; however…

Oh… another apology . Xia Ruoxin didn't feel anything . These apologies, she had heard them many times . Really, she didn't need to hear them anymore .

She smiled, not a single bit of resentment in her clear eyes . It was all in the past . She just needed them to stay out of her way and not disrupt her current life .

“Ruoxin . ” Song Wan put down her hands, seemingly having a lot to say . Although, in the end, nothing came out . There was a lot of embarra.s.sment and inexplicable discomfort written on her face .

“Ruoxin, do you need any help? As long as it is within my means, I will never reject you . If you want something, you can just tell me . ” She tried her best to remember to smile . However, that act of consideration made Xia Ruoxin feel uncomfortable in an unexplainable way .

She lowered her eyes and took a step back, showing little intimacy .

“Aunty Song, I still have things to do . I'll be going first . ” As for help, she didn't need any now .

“Wait for a while . ” Just when Xia Ruoxin was about to leave, Song Wan called out to her . She grabbed Xia Ruoxin's hands periodically . Perhaps she was thinking about her choice of words, perhaps she was considering how to start the conversation .

For a long time, the two remained silent . Xia Ruoxin lightly pressed her lips together, feeling slightly uncomfortable . She wanted to go home because she had to deliver food to Gao Yi soon . Otherwise, he would starve to death .

Furthermore, she didn't know what more there was to say with them standing there .

“Sorry, Aunty Song, I'll be taking my leave now . ” She nodded her head at Song Wan, turned around, and left .

Song Wan just watched as Xia Ruoxin walked away . It was like she was enduring something . Until finally, she couldn't help but run forward and grab Xia Ruoxin's hand .

“Ruoxin, let me meet her alright, just once . ” She pleaded, clasping Xia Ruoxin's hand tightly . Although Ah Lui said that now was not the time, she couldn't take it anymore . She really couldn't take it anymore .

Xia Ruoxin's heart tightened,

“Aunty Song, I really don't know what you're talking about, I have urgent business to handle; I have to go now . ” She struggled continuously . However, she did not dare to use any strength, afraid that she would hurt Song Wan and herself .

“Ruoxin, you understand . Let me meet your daughter okay? She is my granddaughter; I beg you, let me see her . ” Song Wan had never begged anybody like this before . She was just too emotional and afraid . If she had not met the child before, she would never have been able to believe that they had a granddaughter of that age . The child was already three-years-old .

What did she look like? Did she look like Ah Lui? Ever since she found out about thisevery day, she looked forward to seeing the child's appearance . Every day, she longed to meet her granddaughter .
