Chapter 549 She Wanted to Go, Too
She only had Grandpa-Grandpa was her Grandpa. She had her own Mommy and her own Daddy, and she didn’t need other people’s Daddy and Mommy. As for Granny, she didn’t need her as well.
Chu Xiang didn’t like her, and of course, she didn’t like Chu Xiang, too.
At night, Chu Xiang slept with Song Wan while Rainy slept with Chu Jiang.
“This bed is so big. What’s wrong with another child sleeping here? Is it necessary for them to sleep separately?” Song Wan complained from time to time as she spread out another soft blanket over the bed. A sense of discomfort never left her heart.
“Xiang Xiang doesn’t like Rainy.” Chu Jiang hit the nail on the head, his words stabbing at Song Wan’s heart.
“Rainy doesn’t like Chu Xiang as well,” he added, pouring salt on her wound.
Song Wan let out a sigh. “I know that as well. It’s just this child had already been adopted, and all the paperwork has been processed. If we sent her back, then it would be quite troublesome. Furthermore, we’ve raised her for such a long time. I’ve already gotten attached to her…”
“Then don’t complain about it.” Chu Jiang had always been a straight-forward man. As long as there was Chu Xiang in this family, Rainy would never be able to have much relations with Song Wan. Don’t blame him for playing favorites. He only had one granddaughter. For the rest of his life, she was his one and only.
At night, Chu Jiang played a lot of intellectual games with his granddaughter like puzzles and sort. It was then that he had a shocking revelation-Rainy’s IQ was definitely not low. She was their Chu family’s child.
However, the child’s physical strength wasn’t that good. She fell asleep only after a short while. Nevertheless, the puzzle that she completed had practically no mistakes.
Knock, knock. There was a light knock coming from outside. Chu Jiang opened the door. Upon seeing his son, his hands relaxed; and he opened a path for his son to enter.
“She’s asleep.” Chu Jiang softly said.
“I came over to see her.” Chu Lui tip-toed his way over and sat down. It was only at times like these that he could actually look carefully at his daughter. He shakily reached his hands out and pulled the blanket over his daughter. Thereafter, he placed those tiny hands under the blanket. It was just that the moment he held her small hands, he felt as if the blood in his body was boiling hot.
His eyes turned red, his throat choked up, and his voice had become hoarse.
This must be blood ties. This must be father and daughter.
It was all his fault. He didn’t save his daughter and made her go through so much pain, so many hardships. If he could get another chance-even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would never let his daughter go through so much ever again. This was originally his little princess; she was the child that he was supposed to love with all his heart. Yet, look at the things he had done.
Just then, a hand was placed on his shoulder, gently patting him.
“You still have a lot of time. She’s still young. Believe me… one day, you will have their forgiveness.
“Whether it’s the child’s or… hers.”
“Dad, thanks.” Chu Lui carefully placed his large palms on his daughter’s face again. “This child looks so pretty.”
“She does,” Chu Jiang said proudly, “How could a granddaughter of mine possibly look bad? Moreover, her character’s extremely like yours.” Chu Jiang walked over, and between the two adults was a small, small child. Both of them relished in this rare blood bond.
The next day, Xia Ruoxin came over to pick up her child. Rainy was dressed up tidily, and her stomach was full. Her flushed face had been carefully taken care of.
“Grandpa, bye-bye…”
She reached out her small hands towards Chu Jiang and waved at him. Chu Jiang lifted his face as well. However, in his calm dark pupils, tears began to well up. This was really lame. What was he crying for? If there’s a first time, there would be a second.
He could just bring his granddaughter over next time.
Xia Ruoxin picked her daughter up, and Rainy excitedly shared about the things that happened in her grandfather’s house. Xia Ruoxin listened, replying to her from time to time in children’s speech.
“The Xiao Jiejie in Granny’s house doesn’t like Rainy, but Rainy doesn’t like her, too. Rainy only needs Grandpa. I won’t steal Granny from her.
“Mommy, that bad uncle also came. That bad uncle doesn’t look as good as Daddy. Rainy doesn’t like him as well.
“Uncle’s very nice; he bought Rainy a doll, but Xiao Jiejie took the doll away.”
“Then, what about Rainy?” Xia Ruoxin stopped walking. She lowered her head and asked her daughter who didn’t seem angry. “Your doll got stolen; are you sad?”
“No.” Rainy firmly shook her head. “Rainy already has a doll. I don’t need other dolls. Otherwise, Dolly will be lonely.”
Xia Ruoxin smiled and continued walking with her daughter in her arms.
The things that happen in the Chu family, she wasn’t going to get involved. In her eyes, Chu Jiang was just Rainy’s grandfather, she had no interest in the other things in the Chu family. Four years ago, she didn’t take anything from them; and four years later, she still wasn’t going to.
Anyway, they were going to leave soon. Gao Yi said that their passports and paperwork things had already been processed. It turned out that the reason certain procedures were taking so long was because of Chu Lui.
However, upon the mention of this name again, her heart did not waver.
Perhaps she didn’t love him anymore. She gently moved her lips.
So it turned out that there’s really no love that lasts forever in this world. She thought that she would love him till the day she died. But now, she wasn’t dead yet; and she didn’t seem to love him anymore.
However, within this period, she should let Rainy visit her Grandpa more often. Chu Jiang really loved Rainy dearly, and Rainy really loved Chu Jiang as well. With one more person who loved her, her Rainy was actually very fortunate.
Another weekend came about.
Du Jingtang placed his hands over his eyes, covering them from the blinding sunlight.
The weather sure was good.
“Let’s go, little cutie. Uncle will bring you to eat some good food.” He scooped Rainy up and placed her in the car. However, just as he saw the other child, he started to have a headache.
Could he just bring one of them? The two of them… he had the heart to bring her but no strength to do it. Children were really hard to take care of, they really were.
“Uncle, I want to go, too.” Chu Xiang let go of her nanny’s hand and ran over. She tightly clung onto Du Jingtang’s leg, refusing to let go. Du Jingtang had no choice but to bring her along.
Actually, he only liked the little cutie. There was no choice; he was just biased towards her.
He stopped the car and carried the children, one in each hand before heading into a shopping mall. This shopping mall had certain desserts that children loved. They received pretty good reviews, and children seemed to quite like their desserts. As for him, he had become the ultimate stay-at-home dad within that split-second. His hands were full taking care of both children.
By the time the two kids finished eating, he was too busy tending to this child and then taking care of the other, that he only managed to take a few bites of food. When they left the store, his stomach was still empty.
“You guys, wait here. Don’t run around. Uncle’s going to go buy some ice cream for you.
“Uncle, I want to go, too.” Chu Xiang pulled Du Jingtang’s hand, insisting on going with him.
“Be good and stay here. There are many people there. I’m afraid you’ll get squished.”
Du Jingtang furrowed his brows and picked Chu Xiang up, placing her on the chair. This place was more assuring. With so many people present, there was no way the children would disappear. There were too many people over there; he didn’t feel safe bringing them along.
Rainy jumped down from her chair and went to one side to look at the flowers. She squatted down her small body, smelling one flower then sniffing another. Nice smell, mm, what a nice smell.
Just then, a suspicious man approached them and sat in front of Chu Xiang. He stared at Chu Xiang for a long time before finally taking out a picture that was secretly taken
