Chapter 688 - Let Your Daddy Hug

Chapter 688: Let Your Daddy Hug

“Ms. Xia, I don’t welcome you here. Please leave.” Chu Lui carried on flipping his documents. He was very busy and did not have time to waste on her. If it was not because of the Xia family, he would have long carried Xia Yixuan out of the place.

“Brother Lui!” Xia Yixuan stomped her feet. Perhaps it was because her temper was too big or that she simply was indignant. At first, she did not think much about Chu Lui anymore, but when she saw the person who would dig diamonds for her become oblivious to her presence and took the Xia Ruoxin that she hated to heart instead, she changed her mind.

How could she accept this? It could be anyone but Xia Ruoxin.

What was Xia Ruoxin? She was just a dog her family owned. She was Xia Yixuan’s slave. Everything in the Xia household was hers, Chu Lui included.

“Brother Lui...” Xia Yixuan stomped her high heels again, but Chu Lui did not even lift his eyes and directly picked up the insect repellent on the table.

“Get out,” Chu Lui said lightly. His voice inside was filled with cold harshness.

Xia Yixuan bit her red lips. She turned around and stomped off, without forgetting to slam the door with all her might as if she had something against the door.

The secretary outside stuck her tongue out, and in the end, Xia Yixuan walked in front of her.

She said coldly, “You’re mocking me.”

Hurriedly, the secretary stood up and put on a professional expression.

“Ms. Xia, have a nice day.”

Xia Yixuan almost used her wallet that cost tens of thousands of dollars to hit people. She found the woman in front of her more and more annoying.

After she had left, Xia Ruoxin then came out of the pantry. She looked at the shut door and smiled slightly with a look of nonchalance in her eyes.

She went down to do her own things.

The her on the seventeenth floor did not have much relation to that man on the eighteenth floor.

...

This was her first month entering the Chu Enterprise. On payday, she was too excited and could not fall asleep. That was because she never had received so much money in one shot.

She joyfully went to the bank and paid the mortgage before buying a set of clothes for her daughter, which Rainy loved.

“Mommy, do I look pretty?” She shook the braids on her head while tip-toeing to ask Xia Ruoxin.

“Yes, super.” Xia Ruoxin praised her daughter before pinching her cheeks. “My baby is becoming prettier and prettier by the day.”

Rainy pushed her face up. Yes, Rainy did look like her mother.

Xia Ruoxin suddenly felt as if she was praising herself.

Holding her daughter in her hand, she continued shopping. She still needed to bring her daughter to the playground to play for a while. As for her blood-related father, she had no intention of informing him as they would spend their weekend themselves.

Just that... when she took a few steps forward, Rainy stopped without notice. Xia Ruoxin knew that her daughter was much more attentive than other children. Once she liked something, she could stare at it for hours and hours without moving, just like her new toy—the cat that had put on a few kilograms.

“What’s the matter?” Xia Ruoxin squeezed her daughter’s hand before following Rainy’s gaze. Surprisingly, they saw someone familiar.

Song Wan was holding many bags with her while holding a girl wearing a princess gown. It was Chu Xiang, and behind them was Chu Lui. However, Chu Lui did not seem too happy; and there was not much of a smile on his face. He kept looking at the watch on his wrist from time to time as if he had something else to do and was silently frustrated.

“Ah Lui, what kind of expression is this?” Song Wan glared at Chu Lui. “You haven’t brought Xiang Xiang out in a long time. What kind of father are you?”

Chu Lui lowered his head and stared at the Chu Xiang that Song Wan was holding. Honestly, he had no feelings for Chu Xiang at all.

However, he could not simply go against Song Wan.

“Mom, are you sure you want me to smile?” Chu Lui knitted his brows and forced an ugly smile. His features were originally etched deeper, and there was a natural killer aura around his face.

It was fine if he did not smile, but once he did, his smile did not swoop people off their feet and would send them running away instead.

Song Wan flinched.

“Okay, don’t smile.”

She held Chu Xiang’s hand. “Xiang Xiang, let your Daddy carry you, okay?”

Afraid, Chu Xiang hid behind Song Wan. However, eventually, with Song Wan’s encouragement, she walked towards Chu Lui and extended her hands. “Daddy, hug, hug.”

Chu Lui could not help but to extend his hand and carry Chu Xiang. However, this was completely different from carrying Rainy; his entire body was stiff. Perhaps it was because he was not used to interacting with children.

However, he knew that perhaps it was because they were not blood-related so he could never get close to Chu Xiang.

Xia Ruoxin bent down and picked her daughter up.

The child’s face darkened slightly and did not speak a word. She leaned against her mother’s shoulder, and there was as if a patch of gray over her big eyes.

“Mommy, Rainy wants to go home to see Meow Meow.”

Rainy did not want to walk or play anymore. Actually, she did not let her mother carry her in a long time.

“Okay, let’s go home.” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter and turned to leave the mall.

Actually, she knew Rainy’s mind was still too sensitive.

She also knew that she could not simply ask the Chu family to chase Chu Xiang out because Rainy was a Chu. Compared to Rainy, Chu Xiang had already lived in the Chu family for a year or so and had interacted with the whole family every day and night, especially Song Wan. She loved the child that had no blood relations to her.

She believed in blood relations, but she believed in time, too.

After she went home, Rainy had fallen asleep. Her tiny hands grabbed her mother’s shirt tightly as if she was not sleeping well. Actually, this was also one of the reasons why she did not want Rainy to go to the Chu family.

Perhaps she would understand when she was older.

Perhaps it would be okay when she was older.

When the fat cat saw someone coming home, it opened its eyes and saw two people standing by the door before placing its head down again and drifting off to a deep slumber.

Xia Ruoxin placed her daughter properly and covered her with a blanket.

“Mommy...” Rainy rubbed her eyes, but they still did not open. She extended her hand. “Dolly.”

Xia Ruoxin placed the Dolly in her daughter’s arms, and she hugged it immediately before curling up to sleep.

At that time, there was music coming from the outside. Her phone had rung. She lowered her head and caressed her daughter’s sleeping face. Luckily, Rainy was not easily disturbed when she was asleep. However, she did not know who was calling her at this time.
