Chapter 470 She is Not the One for You
Rainy ran back to Gao Yi and hugged both his legs. Her big round eyes curled into a pair of crescents like the moon.
Gao Yi carried Rainy who had been standing on the ground. They were about to leave when he met another man’s profound gaze. The man was standing at a place not far away from them. He had deeply set features that were more profound like one of mixed blood. That made him stand out in the street full of people. He was like the glorious sun that towered over the passers-by. The light around him hid everything while behind him. The sky was blue and clear behind him, but he remained aloof.
Gao Yi rested a hand on Rainy’s head. She blinked and saw the man standing at a distance. She turned away and buried her face in Gao Yi’s nape, with her doll tightly in her arms. The smile began to fade from her face. If one was to study her carefully, one would realize that the abrupt change in her expression was similar to that man who was standing not far away.
Gao Yi continued walking and passed by the man. They began to size each other up as they met each other’s eyes. However, they tolerated each other and didn’t show any expression on their faces.
Gao Yi’s lips curled up into a small smile filled with some indifference.
The collars of the two men almost brushed together. However, they separated very quickly.
What is your relationship with her?
The man behind Gao Yi suddenly asked. His voice was frosty compared to the cold wind. The December wind met with the snow from the Twelve Lunar month. Their encounter caused icicles to form in the air which was freezing cold.
Mr. Chu, are you asking the obvious?
Gao Yi smiled and lowered his head to rearrange Rainy’s little sun hat. He pulled his coat and wrapped the entire child inside. Rainy was obedient. She didn’t move an inch. She simply held Gao Yi’s collar tightly with both hands and hugged her doll even closer.
She is not the one for you.
Chu Lui put out the cigarette in his hand. The smell of tobacco lingered on his fingertips as it gradually faded away.
Not the one for me? Are you telling me she’s the one for you?
Gao Yi countered. He told Chu Lui sarcastically,
This is none of your business, Mr. Chu. Whatever happens between me and my fiancee is not your concern.
Chu Lui suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart when Gao Yi said ‘fiancee’. He couldn’t tolerate the agony. For the first time, he knew why it hurt him. This time, he knew what it meant to be repentant. He also knew what he had lost.
Humans could be so ignorant. When one had something good, one always felt nonchalant and let things be. Very often, they would toss it around without a care. However, when that thing was lost, one would finally realize that one couldn’t bear the consequences.
It was a loss that was totally and utterly deadly.
You are not suitable for her.
He loosened his tightly clenched hands and, at the same time, tried his best to tolerate the pain in his heart. His pursed lips curled into a cynical smile.
She can’t conceive, and she’s a handicap.
Chu Lui didn’t know why he would say something so cruel. After all, he was the one to cause her handicap.
Gao Yi caressed the sun hat on Rainy’s head.
As you can see, Mr. Chu, I have a daughter. Why does it matter if she can conceive or not? As for her handicap, I think—Mr. Chu-you must be joking. She has her hands and legs intact. She doesn’t need to depend on a man to survive. No one will describe her as a handicap.
Gao Yi didn’t reveal Rainy’s background. To the outsiders and the world, Rainy was his daughter. Especially now when Chu Lui was divorced and childless, Rainy’s appearance would only tempt him more. He might come up with ways to get her back. Gao Yi and Xia Ruoxin were protecting this child, and-in turn-Rainy was protecting Xia Ruoxin, too.
Gao Yi could see that Chu Lui wasn’t being heartless towards Xia Ruoxin. On the contrary, Chu Lui had never forgotten Xia Ruoxin.
Gao Yi couldn’t afford to risk it. Chu Lui was a man who would take a disadvantage well. He could be unscrupulous and resort to any means necessary in order to achieve his goal.
Gao Yi carried Rainy and strode away with the frigid wind cutting into his skin. Everyone else was cowering into their coats to try and hide their frozen faces from the cold and frigid wind with the exception of Rainy. She was wrapped in her father’s arms with his body warming hers. She didn’t feel the cold at all.
At this moment, no one noticed how Rainy had raised her head from Gao Yi’s arms. She was staring at the man behind them with her big round eyes. As the wind blew at her eyelashes, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes. Her weak and fragile body was bundled tightly in her father’s arms while she sniffed in grievance and clutched onto her doll.
Dolly, don’t be afraid. Daddy will protect you and me. The bad guys can’t bully Mommy again.
She plastered her face against her doll. Compared to it, her little face was much more adorable.
Let’s buy you some pretty clothes.
Gao Yi stopped and hugged Rainy closer. His baby was finally gaining weight, but she was still on the skinny side. New Year was approaching. He should buy her more nice dresses. A little girl should doll up to make herself pretty and looked like a princess.
Okay.
Rainy broke out into a wide smile, and then she slanted her head. Her black pupils were showing a dark shade of green. The mixture of black and green caused Gao Yi’s eyes to dim. The color of the child’s pupils was similar to that man. He wondered if there was any foreign bloodline somewhere in the Chu family. Their pupils were not pure black. It was the same for Chu Lui and Rainy. However, she looked exactly the same as her mother so it was not easy to see the resemblance she had with her biological father.
Rainy slanted her head and touched her face, feeling puzzled.
Daddy, is there dirt on my face?
Oh. Not anymore. It’s clean now.
Gao Yi pinched the little imp’s cheek and cast the thought aside. He brought her to the nearest shopping mall and bought her a coat to wear.
The warm air greeted them the moment they entered the building. In an instant, they felt warmer. Gao Yi set the clumsy little bear down from his arms and removed her face mask leaving her beautiful face exposed. The mask had covered her face. It emphasized her fragility and made her look like a prawn dumpling, fresh out from the steamer.
Other children looked like a meat or vegetable dumpling while Rainy resembled a juicy prawn dumpling—the type that would break with one bite.
