Chapter 380: Refusal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He no longer trusted her, and she couldn’t do anything anymore. If the woman dropped even a strand of her hair, he would blame it on her. She placed a hand on her stomach and shut her eyes. She had to protect this child. As long as the baby was still here, then it all would still belong to her, even if it was just half.

...

“Mommy, does it hurt? Let me blow on your pain.” Rainy climbed onto Xia Ruoxin’s lap and blew hard at Xia Ruoxin’s wound. Her mouth almost went numb from all the blowing.

“It doesn’t hurt.” Xia Ruoxin hugged her daughter. “Mommy will heal soon, don’t worry.” She was such a caring child. Xia Ruoxin gently caressed Rainy’s hair, and then she took the doll from the side and placed it in her hands.

“Okay, go play by yourself. Mommy’s going to make some good food for you.” She patted her daughter’s cheeks. Rainy blinked and contemplated for a long while before she scurried away.

“Mommy wasn’t careful when walking like Rainy so she fell and hit her head. Silly mommy!”

She mumbled to herself as she walked away, making Gao Yi smile in resignation. He had just called her silly once in a passing remark, but she remembered it.

“Ruoxin, looks like I was the one who led Rainy astray.” He joked as he entered and pulled Xia Ruoxin’s hand, which were resting on her forehead. “Don’t touch the wound. It might get infected. The wound isn’t serious, but it’s on the forehead, on your face. Be careful of it leaving a scar like this.” His fingers gently skimmed the other side of her forehead where an obvious scar stood out.

“Then it’ll be symmetrical.” Xia Ruoxin felt a stab of pain from her forehead. It wasn’t because of him; it was already hurting.

“Really. Stop pretending you don’t care about anything. No one’s here to laugh at you.” Gao Yi wanted to poke her forehead, but he realized he couldn’t because it was injured.

“Rainy was laughing though. Didn’t you hear? She said I was silly.” Xia Ruoxin found the chance to make a comeback, making Gao Yi have the urge to laugh.

What did a child know?

“Oh, right.” Gao Yi took out an envelope. “This is for you,” he said as he handed her the envelope.

Xia Ruoxin took the envelope curiously. She didn’t know of anyone who would write her letters.

“There’s no name written on it, but you should know who wrote it once you open it.”

Gao Yi pointed and explained. It was left with the security guard in the neighborhood, and only Xia Ruoxin’s name was written there—instead of the sender’s name.

“Okay,” Xia Ruoxin replied and nodded. She opened the letter, and when she read through the contents, her face changed.

“What’s wrong?” He asked and took the letter from her hands. When he finished reading it, he placed the letter—no, the form for the transfer of assets—onto the table.

“Ruoxin, you’re a wealthy woman now. I’m going to become a man who lives off a woman in the future.” Gao Yi’s expression was slightly mocking. It was such an extravagant amount—half of the assets of the Chu Enterprise.

Xia Ruoxin didn’t have much interest in this, and she wasn’t greedy. “I don’t want anything from him. I’m doing fine with Rainy right now. We don’t need so much money, and I don’t want to have any ties with him.”

She wasn’t something to be bought with money. Giving her this would not make her happy.

All she wanted was a peaceful life, not his money. She didn’t want anything that belonged to him. She just wanted him to stay away from her and Rainy’s lives and to make sure that other people did not interfere with their lives.

“Ruoxin, you really don’t want it? Do you know what this means?” Gao Yi waved the letter in his hand. “You will become a rich woman on the same level as Chu Lui. You won’t have to worry about a place to stay or food to eat. You’ll be the envy of everyone.”

Xia Ruoxin took the paper from his hand and placed it on the table heavily.

“Are you depriving me of food or lodging now? Or are you making me work to support us?”

“No,” Gao Yi answered honestly. He bought groceries every day and never let the mother and daughter go hungry. Of course, he never went hungry, too.

“Then why do I need this? I’m not lacking anything now.” That world was not as wonderful as it seemed. She had stayed there before and experienced it. There were too many schemes and too much darkness. Fighting for fame and fortune would only make people lose sight of themselves.

Like her mother. Like Li Manni. Also, she knew better than anyone that if she took the money, their lives would be in danger.

She wouldn’t accept it. She turned around and pressed her hand against the paper.

“I don’t want to become like Li Manni. I don’t want to be as scary as her. I just want my daughter to grow up healthily.” Gao Yi held her hand.

“Don’t forget about me. It’s not your daughter, but our Rainy. I have a part to play, too.”

Gao Yi his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace. “Ruoxin, Rainy calls me Daddy now. I’m waiting for the day you to accept me.” He stretched his hand out and tossed the form for the transfer of assets on the floor. They didn’t need those things. There were some happiness that money couldn’t buy.

“Gao Yi, I didn’t have a good reputation.”

“It’s okay. I know that’s not the real you.”

“Gao Yi, I might not be able to conceive again.” Xia Ruoxin hung her head low, her face slightly pale.

“Ruoxin, have you forgotten?” Gao Yi hugged her tighter. “I’m a doctor. I know your body’s condition very well. I don’t care whether you can conceive or not. If we do have a baby, then that’s a bonus gift the heavens blessed us with.

“If not, we still have Rainy. I got such a cute daughter without doing anything. It’s like a one-for-one sale. I’m on the winning end here.

“Don’t you agree?” He pressed his forehead lightly against Xia Ruoxin.

“And don’t think of me as a good guy. I’m not that good or nice. I admit that I made you stay here on purpose from the beginning. I dug a hole for you to jump into. I want you, and I want Rainy as my daughter.

“Do you still think I’m a good person?

“I’m manipulative, too, so I’m really not as good as you think I am.”

Xia Ruoxin squeezed Gao Yi’s hand. This was what she always wanted—a safe home, a child, and a husband who loved her.
