Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 692: Don’t Accompany Xiao Jie Jie

She made milk from milk powder and gave the cat some biscuits to eat. Even though the silly cat was pretty lazy, one could not deny that it was not picky with food. It would eat whatever it was given, especially milk powder and biscuits. The milk powder and biscuits were both Rainy’s so it was good that they both had the same taste.

After eating, the silly cat crawled back into its own territory and snuggled back into the hut to continue sleeping.

These days, Xia Ruoxin had always been busy with charity things so she had not met Chu Lui in quite a few days. She also had completely forgotten about that man, but when they were eating, she would bring out an extra bowl out of habit.

She fell into a daze as she was staring at the bowl on the table, which made her heart erratic for some reason. Then, she placed the bowl back into the kitchen and came out to eat with Rainy.

“Mommy, is Uncle not coming?” Rainy kicked the chair below the table and scooped a spoonful of rice into the mouth as she asked about that person. The Uncle in her eyes was, of course, Chu Lui.

“Uncle needs to work.” Xia Ruoxin wiped the rice grains from her daughter’s mouth. “Hurry up and eat; even your cat has eaten already.”

“Okay, Rainy would not lose to Meow Meow.” Rainy nodded her head with all her might and ate another spoonful of rice. She muttered to herself, “Uncle was accompanying Xiao Jie Jie to eat, right?”

Xia Ruoxin bit her chopsticks before taking food for herself. Was this child jealous? Or perhaps, this was what it meant to be blood-related. No matter what had happened in the past, blood relations could never be cut off. Rainy had not brought up Gao Yi or called Daddy in a long time; she called Uncle instead. Actually, she had a feeling of discomfort as she felt that her daughter had been bought over.

However, she still could not bear to see the upset expression on her daughter’s face.

Bang! The sound came from the door, and it startled Xia Ruoxin.

Hurriedly, she stood up and carried Rainy. Ever since someone invaded her house overseas, she still had trauma until now. She was thinking of where to hide Rainy: in the closet, cupboard, or balcony?

When she was busy finding a place to hide her daughter, the door opened; and it was as though a bucket of water was doused on her. Even her forehead broke out in cold sweat.

“What are you doing?” A man’s voice was heard, followed by the sound of shoes changing as well as him throwing his clothes on the couch and the familiar sounds of his footsteps.

Xia Ruoxin turned around and saw that Chu Lui had already taken off his coat and went to the kitchen to take a bowl out to eat on his own.

“Why do you have the key to my house? Also, who allowed you to come in at your own will?”

The Xia Ruoxin who had been severely frightened almost went insane. She almost wanted to jump off the building with Rainy. Also, since when did this man have the keys to her house?

“Oh, you’re asking about this?” Chu Lui took out the keys in his pocket and placed it on the table. “I picked it up.”

“Picked it? From where?” Xia Ruoxin placed her daughter down and grabbed that bunch of keys in one go. Once she touched them, she knew it was her own keys. However, it seemed like she had lost them a few days ago, and she could not find it. Perhaps she really did lose it and was found by this man.

However, even if he had picked it up, he could not simply barge into someone else’s house.

“I knocked, but you didn’t open.” One look and Chu Lui knew what exactly Xia Ruoxin was thinking so he replied coolly.

Actually, Xia Ruoxin did not even know if she heard it herself as she was in a daze. She did not know whether she really did not hear it or this man simply did not knock on the door. Anyway, things that she was not clear about herself... she could only accept it as what other people had said.

“Mommy, Rainy is going to eat.” Rainy pulled on Xia Ruoxin’s hand. Her stomach was still hungry.

However, her eyes were still in a crescent moon shape as if she was happy in a second.

Xia Ruoxin glared at Chu Lui who had treated this house as his own. She really wanted to throw him out, but she did not bear to disappoint her daughter. Obviously, Rainy really wanted the man to come.

She carried her daughter back to her seat and placed her bowl and spoon in front of her for her to eat herself. She sat down as well and munched on the food. The sounds that she made sounded as if she was biting on Chu Lui’s meat.

“Uncle, are you not eating with Xiao Jie Jie anymore?” Rainy shook her legs and asked Chu Lui curiously.

Xiao Jie Jie? Chu Lui could not react to it. Who was the Xiao Jie Jie she was talking about? He had not eaten with women alone in a long while. Now, he was no longer interested and would not be energized about women. Even the impulses of a man were settled by himself. He did not eat with some Xiao Jie Jie or Da Jie Jie.

If there was a woman, then it would either be Song Wan or Chu Xiang.

Chu Lui knitted his brows and reached his hand out to pat his daughter’s soft hair. He really wanted to hug his daughter, and he hoped that she would never grow up or would grow up a bit slower so that he could spend more time with her and not let her be stolen away by some jerk.

Rainy raised her head and was exactly the same as the small girl in Chu Lui’s memory. The kid was really growing to look like her mother.

“Uncle, are you not going to accompany Xiao Jie Jie?” Rainy did not receive an answer so she continued asking.

“Yeah, I’m not.” Chu Lui’s expression softened. “Uncle will only accompany Rainy to eat next time, okay?”

“Okay.” Rainy nodded her head. “Then, Uncle must accompany Rainy to eat every day, and Rainy will eat two bowls of rice. Okay?”

“Okay.” Chu Lui agreed. He wanted it more than anything else, but he looked at Xia Ruoxin purposefully. “Baby, you need to ask your mother about this matter. What if your mother doesn’t let Uncle come?”

“Mommy will let Uncle come.” Rainy switched sides immediately. She jumped down the chair and hugged Xia Ruoxin’s leg.

“Mommy will allow Uncle to come and eat with Rainy, right? Uncle won’t accompany Xiao Jie Jie but will come with Rainy instead. Mommy, can you agree? Rainy guarantees.” She patted her chest. “I will eat my rice obediently every day and will not be picky anymore.”

“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin’s eyes spoke her true thoughts, and she did not say a word.
