Chapter 473 Let’s Sleep

She never planned to take Gao Yi’s money. It’s not because she despised it. Whatever Gao Yi gave her, she would take it; but she wanted to have a career for herself. It need not be a huge career where she could earn a huge sum of money. She just wanted to live a good life with her daughter.

When she walked out of the room, Gao Yi was still sitting on the sofa. Xia Ruoxin knew he was waiting for her.

“Ruoxin, come here.” Indeed, Gao Yi extended his hand towards her once she wasn’t busy.

Xia Ruoxin walked over and sat down beside him. She rested both her hands on her knees. She was still feeling reserved with him. Gao Yi chuckled.

Xia Ruoxin flushed, red as a tomato. She wanted to bury her face in her hands.

She’s already at this age, but her skin was still as thin as ever. If only she could become more thick-skinned.

“Haha…” A deep voice guffawed. Xia Ruoxin felt her ears and face flush a darker shade of red with excitement.

Gao Yi never took his hand away from Xia Ruoxin. He just made small talk while playing with her hair, which had grown to the length of her ears. It looked nice when it was long. Xia Ruoxin was very much suited for long hair. She looked gentle and refreshing, and when she smiled she resembled a blossom about to bloom. With short hair, she didn’t look like a strong steeled woman no matter how much she pretended to be one. Her smile was too bashful to belong to one.

“Ruoxin…” The man’s voice was hoarse with desire.

Her hands tightened on her knees. She could smell the scent of attraction wafting in the air. A gust of wind blew, and she stood up abruptly. “The window’s open. I’m going to close it.”

She walked towards the window. Indeed, she must have forgotten to close it, or the wind blew it open. The winter breeze hit her cheeks, bringing along chilling stillness; but it also cooled her burning cheeks to their normal temperature. She shivered, feeling awake all of a sudden.

A hand shot out, closed the open window, and then pulled the curtains together.

“Ruoxin…” Gao Yi rested his chin on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders as he murmured under his breath seductively.

“Mmm…” It was the only sound Xia Ruoxin could make. Oh, no. Her cheeks burned hot again. She lowered her face. At least Gao Yi couldn’t see anything, but he must have noticed her flushed ears.

“Let’s sleep.” The man’s warm voice made all the blood rush up to Xia Ruoxin’s head.

S-sleep?

Sleep…

“Go to sleep.” Gao Yi pushed Xia Ruoxin indoors. “The little girl would kick her blankets away again.”

When she closed the door behind her, her cheeks were still blushing. She buried her face in her palms. What was she thinking about? Meanwhile, the kid on the bed stuck her feet outside the blanket. Perhaps she found it stuffy, and one of her feet hooked onto the blanket and indeed-kicked the blanket away, revealing a white and soft foot resting on the blanket. Her body was sprawled across the bed. Everything else was good about the little girl save for her habit of kicking the blanket off and bad sleeping style. There had to be someone by her side; otherwise, she might really fall off the bed at night.

Xia Ruoxin walked over and tucked her daughter under the blanket again, but with a pull, she accidentally pulled her daughter’s doll out of her grip. She put the doll on top of the drawer by the bed. She’d be able to see her doll once she wakes up.

She entered the washroom and opened the tap; she then scooped some water and splashed her face. Instantly, the cold made the heat in her cheeks dissipate.

She patted her face to make the heat fade as well.

When she came out, her originally red face was now slightly pale.

She was actually terrified of those things, but it was natural for a man and a woman to reach that stage. She wouldn’t think that Gao Yi desired a platonic love. He was a man while she was a woman.

For a couple to walk beside each other—not only must their hearts be together, but their bodies should be, too.

However,

Her hands by her sides clenched into fists. She didn’t want to do that sort of things, no matter if the other party was Chu Lui or Gao Yi. She detested Chu Lui and was scared of Gao Yi.

What else could be done if a woman loathed things like these? To become a spinster, alone forever? Yet, it was impossible for her.

She sat by the bed and gently caressed her daughter’s tender face. Rainy slept soundly. Her small, fragile body was snug under the warm blanket. Even though it was freezing outside, it was as warm as spring indoors, which allowed Rainy to sleep so peacefully.

She would never be afraid of the cold anymore. She would never be in pain anymore.

She held her daughter’s tiny hand and squeezed the warm and soft hand. It was only at times like this did she feel like everything was in the past. No matter what happens tomorrow, at least all she wanted at this moment was to protect her Rainy. Then, she’d be contented.

Rainy kicked her tiny feet out again. Xia Ruoxin sighed and could only stuff her feet back under the blanket again. Then, she laid down beside her, too. It was time to sleep. Perhaps it would be sunny tomorrow, too.

She was still dazed and sleepy when she felt like there was a mouse beside her.

She placed her hand in front of her acrid eyes and forcefully opened them to see Rainy crawling around her with something in her hands.

“Hush, Dolly. Don’t wake Mommy up. She’s tired.”

Rainy hugged the doll while she sat at the corner of the bed. She was holding her comb in one hand, using it to comb the doll’s hair while muttering some words under her breath. It wasn’t even seven o’clock, but she had already risen. She was an obedient child, too; she had changed her clothes herself and was playing by herself without waking others up.

Xia Ruoxin sat up and ruffled her daughter’s hair.

“Hungry?” She asked her daughter, who raised her head to look up at her.

“Mm, hungry.” Rainy jumped into her mother’s arms. She was feeling hungry forp a long time ago, but Mommy was tired. She didn’t want to wake her up.

“Just a minute.” Xia Ruoxin pinched her daughter’s cheeks and got off the bed to make a bottle of milk for her. The powdered milk would suffice as breakfast.

“Drink it, darling.” Xia Ruoxin placed the milk bottle in Rainy’s hands. Rainy pursed her lips and hugged the milk bottle in grievance as she drank it, but her huge eyes seemed like her mother had bullied her. It really made people want to pinch.

“I’m bringing her to the hospital today and get her body checked, too.” Gao Yi squatted down and put on a pink rabbit fur hat on Rainy’s head. The hat had pink bunny ears, making Rainy look like a pink rabbit.

Rainy curled into a ball and turned around, jumping into her mother’s arms silently.
