Chapter 322: Once Gone, Don’t Ever Come Back
Gao Yi’s car was moving steadily, but they did not notice the black car passing them by. Inside that car, the man put his hand to his chest suddenly. He felt something strange.
“What’s wrong, Lui?” A concerned woman placed a soft and white hand on his shoulder and asked.
“Nothing.” He put down his hand with a calm look. Only he knew that the place he just covered felt uncomfortable, and that place was his heart.
Li Manni retracted her hand and returned to her seat. She did not know why, but the unease in her heart grew when she was back here. They were doing fine abroad, but they couldn’t stay there forever.
Gao Yi stopped the car, and Xia Ruoxin sat inside dumbly. This was not hers and Rainy’s house. The door opened, and Gao Yi’s smiling face filled her vision. “Don’t say anything. Just come out first.”
Xia Ruoxin could only get out of the car with Rainy in her arms. Rainy woke up momentarily, her tiny hands rubbing her eyes. She opened her eyes groggily. “Are we home, Mommy?”
“Yes, we are.” Gao Yi took the child from her arms before Xia Ruoxin even opened her mouth.
Rainy looked around the nice place. Their house was small and easy to recognize, and not this?
“Uncle, this isn’t Rainy’s house.” She wanted to go home, not here.
“This is Uncle’s house, and it’s also Rainy’s house from now on.” Gao Yi rubbed Rainy’s head. Rainy was still groggy from sleep and leaned on Gao Yi’s shoulders, letting out a small yawn.
“Gao Yi, why did you bring us here?” Xia Ruoxin stood in front of the car, feeling conflicted. They already owed him too much so much that she did not know how to repay him back.
“Let’s enter first. We’ll talk later. Gao Yi still said the same thing. Xia Ruoxin could only follow him and enter.
Gao Yi’s house was a small apartment, not too huge, but it was very compact.
He opened the door. The apartment had a pure western style. There weren’t many decorations, and everything was clean and simple. He hefted the kid sleeping on his shoulder. She had been sleeping the entire journey, but she had not woken up yet.
“I’ll bring her to the room first, Ruoxin. You rest for a while.” He made Xia Ruoxin sit down first before taking Rainy to a room. He laid her on the bed softly. The little kid’s cheeks were red from the sleep and looked extremely rosy and delectable, enough to make a person want to bite down.
In her arms was the doll she refused to let go off. He knew that it was Rainy’s treasure. He covered her with a blanket and walked out.
Xia Ruoxin sat on the sofa quietly, lost in thought.
Gao Yi walked in front of her and knelt down to eye level.
“Thinking about something?”
Xia Ruoxin was startled by the sudden sound and raised her head to meet Gao Yi’s warm and peaceful eyes.
“No.” Xia Ruoxin shook her head and shifted her body back slightly. She was still not used to his close contact.
“Okay, stop moving back. The sofa is going to topple.” Gao Yi said half-jokingly. Then, he placed his hands on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders and stared into her eyes without a trace of humor on his face.
“Stay here, Ruoxin. It’s too big here. As you can see, I can’t live in so many rooms.”
Xia Ruoxin was silent and then shook her head. “I don’t want to owe you too much. You’ve already helped me so many times.” She lowered her eyes. Even though he did not like it when she always thanked him, she always felt like she would never be able to repay him.
Gao Yi let out a sigh and placed a hand on hers, forcing her to raise her head. “I’ve never wanted you to repay me. Haven’t you realized? You guys bring me much joy, too. I am alone, and I will feel lonely, too.
“Ruoxin. trust me. I don’t mean anything else. You and Rainy are better off staying here than at your old place. I am a doctor, remember? Rainy just recovered and needs good rest. Do you want her to go back to the hospital again?”
Speaking of Rainy, Xia Ruoxin’s eyes became more conflicted. Rainy was indeed her weakness. She seemed to be left with no room to refuse when Rainy was mentioned.
It was true. Her daughter could not go through any torment anymore. She did not know if she could survive another one.
Seeing her eyes clearly becoming softer, Gao Yi continued to speak, “You won’t be freeloading here. You have to help me clean the rooms and prepare my meals. I’m not losing anything from this, and I don’t even have to pay you. In fact, I’m at the winning end here, right?”
Gao Yi smiled, but his smile was particularly wide. Xia Ruoxin’s heart was really wavering now, and while she was thinking, she did not notice how Gao Yi’s smile widened with an underlying motive.
At last, Xia Ruoxin agreed with him to stay after much pondering. Of course, she remembered to assure him that she would clean his house until it was sparkling clean. It was just tidying up rooms, and that was what she was good at. As for cooking, her food was not delicious, but it was still edible.
“Okay, that’s settled.” Gao Yi stood up. At the same time, a door was pushed open gently, revealing a small child hiding behind the door.
“Rainy. Come out if you’re awake. What are you looking at?”
He just finished speaking when the door was pushed open suddenly by a small hand. That hand was small, but it held huge strength. There was a large bang. Rainy realized what she had done and blinked. With the dolly in one hand, she rushed up to hug Gao Yi’s leg. “I’m sorry, Uncle. Rainy used a bit of strength.”
Gao Yi bent down to carry her. “You little imp, that was just a little strength. If you put your entire strength in, you’re going to tear down Uncle’s entire house and make him sleep on the road.”
He tapped Rainy’s tiny nose. Rainy rubbed her face against him, embarrassed. She thought she really didn’t do it on purpose?
Xia Ruoxin rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache at the front of her head. She might have given birth to a boorish kid.
“Ruoxin, why not prepare dinner for us now? See, we’re both hungry.” Rainy rubbed her little stomach and said grievingly, “Mommy, Rainy is hungry, too.” As if on cue, her stomach grumbled.
