A frown appeared on Rainy’s little eyebrows, the child deep in thoughts. Then, she batted her eyelashes which were the same as Xia Ruoxin’s and pouted before she stretched her legs out. “Okay, Mommy can pinch. But, gently. Or else, I will feel uncomfortable.” She closed her eyes tightly while, at the same time, she tried to peep. She looked like she was going to die; it was amusing to watch.
Xia Ruoxin saw the awkward look on her daughter, and it made her want to pinch her more. However, she stopped when she saw her red cheeks. “Alright, I understand. I won’t touch your feet.” She carried her daughter in her arms, and Rainy was relieved that her feet were fine.
She leaned into Xia Ruoxin’s arms cheerfully. There was a nice smell on her mother, and she liked it.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and she pouted her pink lips before putting up her legs in Xia Ruoxin’s arms. She fell asleep easily because she was also tired of working.
Xia Ruoxin covered her with a blanket and looked at the house that they have been staying for the past two years. She must work harder to give Rainy a better life.
No matter how tough it was, it would be worth it.
“Sleep.” She patted her daughter’s back with her head lowered. With her little body in her arms, she felt satisfied. Her adorable and pitiful baby whom she could not bear to leave alone for even a day.
Rainy had never been separated from her before. They only had each other to depend on.
It was getting dark outside. With the dark-colored curtain at the window, the lighting in the room became subtle.
Inside the CEO’s office on the eighteenth floor of Chu Enterprise, it was fuming fire and snowing at the moment.
Du Jingtang took a deep breath. He wanted to turn around and leave. There must be something wrong with his brains. If he had left the company three years ago, he would be enjoying life now; not working his life away in a suppressing environment and taking instructions. He had asked for it. For trouble.
His cousin was giving him a headache as well as the new, timid secretary.
“Alright, leave us.” He stood in front of the secretary and blocked her off. If she didn’t leave now, she’d be pissing in her pants once their great CEO erupted into a tirade.
Upon hearing what he said, she fled from the room at lightning speed. She would never spare another glance at their CEO. That man was scary. His eyes were bloodthirsty, almost red without any emotion. This was not science. Their CEO was changing.
“Cousin, surely, you don’t have to. All she did was step on your foot.” Du Jingtang slanted his eyes and looked at Chu Lui’s foot in leather shoes. That secretary was trying to please him, but she stepped on his foot instead.
It almost caused his cousin to tear the whole office apart.
“What do you think?” Chu Lui put up with the discomfort in his foot. He hated people touching his feet, and he wouldn’t tolerate anyone stepping on them either. It was a kind of loathing which might have been caused by an extra nerve in them.
