Rainy was close to Gao Yi, too. She loved him and regarded him as a father, but she never let him touch her leg the way she did with Chu Lui.
Could this be the irresistible bond of blood relations?
When she walked out, Rainy was drinking milk as if it was Chinese medicine.
Just as she was about to chuck her milk bottle aside, she saw her mother narrow her eyes. She hurriedly clung to the bottle with both hands and turned her backside towards her mother. Xia Ruoxin had the urge to teach her a lesson.
However, Chu Lui picked his daughter up protectively and turned his back towards Xia Ruoxin. His actions were clear.
He was the one she should hit.
Xia Ruoxin just entered the kitchen and began cutting and preparing the food. She had to cook, and she had to go to work later. She did not have time to mess around with them.
It was a simple meal that she made. It was not any delicacy, but Rainy ate a full bowl of rice.
As for Chu Lui, he ate slowly, seemingly finding his food unsavory. Or he might have been savoring his food. Xia Ruoxin could not figure out what he was thinking so she decided to ignore him.
By the time they were done with breakfast, she realized that it was time to send her daughter to school. However, she was not ready yet.
“I’ll send her.” Chu Lui picked Rainy up. “I have a car. It’ll be fast.”
“Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin did not turn him down since Rainy was safe with him.
“You’re welcome,” Chu Lui replied as he brought the confused child out the door.
He would repay what he owed to them no matter what. He had made an irreversible mistake for four years. Right now, he would spend the rest of his life to try and make up for it.
He believed that it would be possible.
…
“Baby, say bye to Uncle.” He squatted down and caressed the child’s face. His daughter was really pretty.
“Bye, Uncle.” Rainy reached out her arm and waved. She then kissed the man on his cheek. Chu Lui touched his face.
That was nice. This was the first time his daughter kissed him.
He hoped that this child would never have to go through anything ever again. He would shoulder everything as her father.
He drove back to Xia Ruoxin’s place but did not see anyone after waiting outside for a while.
He knew that she had left earlier when it was time for work, and he still did not see her.
“Heh…” He laughed. Just as he had predicted, this woman was still as stubborn and difficult to understand like before.
In a rare occurrence, he was late for work. Thankfully, he was the boss; and no one was checking in. If there were a reward for full attendance, no one in the office deserved the award more than he did.
The first thing he did when he arrived in the office was dial the number that he had registered in his mind.
“Manager Xia, please make a trip to my office.”
Xia Ruoxin wanted to die when she heard the term ‘Manager Xia’.
Yes, she was a manager. However, she was also her employee. What kind of manager was she? She was both the manager and the worker. In truth, her position as a manager was mostly in name.
She picked up all the reports she had been working on recently.
They kept work and life separate. They did not mix the two.
Xia Ruoxin closed the documents in her hands and updated Chu Lui on things.
Chu Lui nodded. “En, you’ve done well.”
“Thank you, CEO.” Xia Ruoxin curled her lips in a smile. In truth, she was not surprised to get CEO’s praise. She had been over the information over a dozen times. Plus, she had experience with community work so she was the right person for this job.
The project could begin from an orphanage. Moreover, there was an orphanage that the Chu family was sponsoring. They could hold a small-scale charity art show when the children were at a certain level of mastery. Other than fund-raising, this would add to the reputation of the Chu family.
One round of the project would raise quite a bit of money. By then, they would have the money to help the children in difficulty, such as the children at the orphanage. So she would put her best effort into this project no matter what.
Naturally, she put in a lot of work. Even Chu Lui, who had extremely stringent standards, marveled at her work. The naive young thing from before had grown. Even though it was a tough process, but she was still the same person she was.
Bang! The door was opened from outside by Du Jingtang who was dressed in a variety of colors. He walked in, pulled down his sunglasses, and posed.
“Hi, cousin, I’m back. Your dearest cousin, me, is back from Africa. Don’t worry, everything went well; and we signed the contract. The profits from this contract can cover the company’s operations for the next three years. I can still get paid even without working from now on. Yay!”
He danced around in celebration, mumbling to himself.
Pak! Xia Ruoxin dropped the documents in her arms on the floor as she stared at the tanned man in surprise.
The person was none other than Du Jingtang, whom she knew from before.
The man reacted. He turned, with his hand still in the air, and screamed when he saw Xia Ruoxin on the couch. He fled immediately after.
Xia Ruoxin covered her face.
“I look like a ghost?”
“No, he’s the ghost,” Chu Lui replied plainly, but his dark eyes were ice-cold.
“We’ll have a special press conference, the day after. You will join me.”
The man said to Xia Ruoxin as he stood up.
Xia Ruoxin tugged at the corners of her lips. “Sorry, CEO, I don’t want to be a part of it. I want to live simply, and I don’t want to be involved in everything that I previously had to deal with.”
She refused to attend a press conference.
She had never gotten any cosmetic surgery. There were not a lot of people present when she fought Chu Lui over the right to raise Rainy in court back then. They did not want to blow the matter up since Rainy was a child, and she could get hurt by the rumors.
However, everyone knew that she was caught in somebody else’s bed by Mr. Chu four years ago.
People would forget easily, but they were good at digging things up.
