Chapter 613 - Very Soon, You’ll be Mine
However, when he was leaving, he went to Xia Ruoxin’s house as he wanted to bid farewell to her who had almost become his sister-in-law. There were a lot of ‘almost’s in the world, but sometimes-once something had passed, it would really be forever.
“You’re leaving?” Xia Ruoxin placed the fish, which she had already removed the bones from, into her daughter’s bowl. Rainy buried her head into the bowl and ate her food obediently. When the adults were talking, children should not interrupt or listen as they would not understand even if they did.
“Yeah, I’m leaving.” Gao Xin picked up a piece of fish and placed it in his mouth with satisfaction. “I have been trapped in this place for the longest time. In the past, I was worried about leaving my mother alone, but now, I suddenly understood. Sometimes, pain is also a type of happiness. Anyway, my brother is here, and I don’t think he’ll be leaving.”
Xia Ruoxin continued picking the fish bones, but no one had noticed that her hand movement had slowed down.
Gao Xin finished his meal happily and was about to leave, but he could not bear to leave Rainy. He held Rainy and wiped away his bucket of tears, even rubbing them on Rainy’s body. Rainy looked up at the sky and was speechless towards the blonde lying on her. The scene was kind of unnatural with a man bawling his eyes out and the child pressing her lips tight; her look made it seem as if she was staring at a lunatic.
After Gao Xin left, Xia Ruoxin and her daughter’s lives carried on as usual. It was neither fast nor slow. Every day, Xia Ruoxin would learn English from Madam Mei Fu and Little Amy while Madam Mei Fu had an interest in Chinese so both families would take turns to teach the other, elevating both families’ language skills by a notch.
At night, after Rainy had fallen asleep, Xia Ruoxin opened her computer and checked if there was any work today. In no time, she had a whole bunch of orders that would be enough for her to paint for three months.
She typed on the keyboard.
