Chapter 799: Fatherly Love
Yes, if this world did not have that sister, how good would it be? She bit her blanket tightly and kept thinking in her heart: how good the world would be without her sister…
These few days, Chu Xiang kept staring at the television. She took the remote controller and kept repeating the same part in the drama. In the drama, there was a father who sold his child away; and the mother kept trying to find the child back but to no avail.
“Sell Sister away.”
Chu Xiang bit on her finger, and with the remote controller in her hand, she re-watched the same portion for a very long time. There were a lot of bad people on the streets. If she really threw her sister into the streets, there would be bad guys that would take her away, right? She threw the remote controller away. These days, she acted sick and did not go to school. Secretly, without the adults looking, she would wait outside the kindergarten.
The more she waited, the more jealous she got. Every day, her father would come personally to fetch this sister of hers. He would hug her, pacify her, and smile at her; but her father never hugged her before.
She clenched her fists tightly and bit her lips. She must send this sister away. This way, her father would be hers; and so would her grandpa.
“Sell this sister…” She must sell her sister. She took a rock and smashed it hard against the wall as she muttered under her breath. However, without her knowledge, a skinny boy was standing at the corner. He was only ten or so and had not grown to his full height yet, but his face in the dark had an unpredictable feeling about it.
…
Rainy carried her small bag and waited for her father. Not long later, the familiar black car drove over. Chu Lui got out of the car and removed his sungla.s.ses. Now, he was really a pa.s.sable father who fetched his daughter home, gave his daughter’s noodles to eat, and tie beautiful hair for his daughter every day. Also, he was very grateful; even though Xia Ruoxin did not like his mother, she never stopped him from coming and seeing his daughter.
He walked over in big steps, and Rainy had already run over. He opened his arms and carried his daughter up. Then, he took out the water from his pocket and let his daughter drink it.
The handsome father and beautiful daughter was definitely a rare sight. It was a warm and aesthetic sight. Furthermore, it was a famous and wealthy man with his beautiful daughter.
Rainy held the bottle and drank the water, with her lashes moving from time to time. In the sunlight, she had a light glow on her. While hugging his daughter with one hand and combing his hair with the other, Chu Lui asked the teacher—who was standing aside—how Rainy was that day.
“Oh, she was well-behaved today. She drank water thrice and slept for a really long time during her afternoon nap, and she didn’t kick the blanket.” The teacher was specifically employed by Chu Lui to take care of Rainy, and she was responsible for everything Rainy did in school. No matter if it was eating, sleeping, or going to the toilet; she was in charge of that and also had to ensure that her child drank enough water. How much water the child drank and when she drank it were set strictly by him. Of course, the salary they received was not low at all.
Mm, after hearing about his daughter’s behavior, he then relaxed. He carried his daughter to his car and sat her down properly before taking snacks from the car for her. In his car, there were many snacks; but Rainy could not eat much. As she ate them, her legs kept shaking.
“Why? Are you very happy today?” Chu Lui pinched his daughter’s cheeks and felt that she was much like a person than before and was no longer a working machine.
This strange little thing was his daughter.
“Super happy.” Rainy’s eyes bent like a crescent moon. Her hands had long recovered, and she was a white and gentle child again.
“Daddy, we’re going to have a performance soon. Will Daddy come?” She widened her eyes and asked Chu Lui in antic.i.p.ation while her hands were clutching her father’s clothes.
“Daddy will most definitely go.” Chu Lui agreed before ruffling her soft hair. Swiftly, he also checked his schedule for the day and realized he did not have much going on. Hence, no matter what, he would make time to watch his daughter’s performance. It was her first event, and he would definitely come over to support her. In the past, all the parent-and-child events were attended by Gao Yi. Once he thought about this, he felt jealousy and heartache. This was his daughter, and he actually did not attend a single of her parent-child activities. For a father, he was such a failure.
Rainy picked up the snacks in her arms and kept shoving the food into her mouth.
Chu Lui ruffled her head.
“Don’t eat too much; later, you can’t finish your rice.”
“It won’t happen.” Rainy patted her stomach. “Rainy’s tummy still has much more s.p.a.ce to put rice inside.” The child’s words made Chu Lui’s stiff features start to soften up and become warmer. Oh, right, he took out a box from his car and placed it in his daughter’s hands.
“Daddy is giving this to you. Open it and take a look.”
“Thanks, Daddy.” Rainy shook her legs in excitement and happily picked up the box. Then, she opened it on her lap; and there was a pair of beautiful child sungla.s.ses in it.
Chu Lui made this specifically for his daughter and was of mini-size. Let alone the price, even the frame was made of gold.
This pair of small gla.s.ses could cost an average family a few times their salary.
Rainy put the sungla.s.ses on and shook her forehead. It did not drop at all. It was just nice. Of course, it was as it was custom-made according to her face and suited her very well.
“Daddy, do I look good?” She pouted, made a pose, and asked.
“Yes, you look great. My baby is the prettiest.” Chu Lui pinched his daughter’s cheeks, took out his phone, and snapped a picture for his daughter. A child would definitely be a child with their natural beauty. Besides, her daughter was already beautiful; and even with a random shot, she still looked as cute as ever.
Rainy clearly loved this pair of sungla.s.ses as she did not even take it off her face. It was even the same brand as her father’s.
Today, something cropped up in the studio; and so Xia Ruoxin was stuck there. Of course, he had to bring the child over.
He parked the car and carried his daughter out.
With the small sungla.s.ses on her face, the child really did look pretty cool. Together with her distinct facial features, she made everyone’s heads turn.
