She had started to appreciate the scenery along the way.
She lowered her head and saw that the Rainy in her arms was also using her strength to stick her face to the door as if something was interesting. However, she looked on and on, but there were only two adults talking. What was the fun in that?
She continued playing with her pinkie and placed all her focus on it.
Not long after, Bai Zhenfeng left. Even though Xia Ruoxin did not know what Wei Lan and Bai Zhenfeng talked about, but Wei Lan seemed more liberal than before. After some time, she even followed a few friends she just met to go on an impulsive overseas trip.
When Bai Zhenfeng came again, Wei Lan was already long gone.
At that time, Bai Zhenfeng was upset and disappointed as if he lost all hope.
It was other people’s business so Xia Ruoxin could not care about it. The house seemed to be left with just her and her daughter again as Gao Yi did not come back very often recently. If it was not for his scent in the house, Xia Ruoxin would really think that Gao Yi had never come back.
“Daddy…” Rainy ran over and spread her hands to let Gao Yi hug her.
Just that, Gao Yi was hugging the blond. Both of them were long inseparable and looked like they were going to take off their clothes and do it on the spot.
“Daddy, hug, hug.” Rainy was still small, and she did not know what Gao Yi was doing. She stubbornly extended her hand to let her Daddy hug her as he had not done it in a while.
“Your daughter?” The blond squeezed Rainy’s face, but she used too much strength and pinched until the child’s face turned red. Something flashed in Gao Yi’s eyes. Then, he gave a look and said, “Other people had it. She has nothing to do with me.
“Come on.” Gao Yi touched the woman’s butt. “Let’s go do some serious business.”
“Naughty.” The woman laughed in a flirting manner. Both of them bantered until they entered the room and shut the door with a bang.
Rainy used the back of her hand to rub her face and walked to the door, refusing to leave.
“Daddy?” She knocked on the door. She wanted her daddy to come out; she wanted her daddy.
“Daddy…” She knocked on the door again and again until her hand was red. However, she had the same personality as her mother-she would do anything she wanted to.
Bang! The door was pushed open and had unknowingly pushed the child standing at the door.
Rainy’s head hit against the door; once she felt the pain, she rubbed her eyes and started crying.
“Noisy!” Gao Yi stared down at the pathetic crying child and did not hug her and pacify her like the past. He flung the door shut. Even though the child’s cries outside became louder and louder to the point where she had no sound left, the two people continued doing their deed inside.
“Rainy…” Xia Ruoxin came out hurriedly when she heard her daughter cry and saw Rainy sitting on the floor and using her hand to wipe her tears. Indistinctly, she could hear the voice of a man and woman other than her crying sound.
She walked over and covered her daughter’s ear with one hand and carried her with the other before bringing her out of the place.
Rainy choked with emotion from time to time. She looked up and hugged her mother’s neck with her hands and said depressingly, “Rainy loves Mommy the most.”
She did not love Daddy anymore. Daddy was naughty; he was the naughtiest.
Suddenly, Xia Ruoxin felt a pang in her heart and hugged her daughter tighter.
“Mommy loves Rainy the most, too. The absolute most.”
She did not know why Gao Yi became like this. Could it be because of that night? Or was it because he had already changed, and he was not the Gao Yi she used to know?
Everyone said that a woman’s heart is like finding a needle in the haystack, but why was it that there would be no signs when a man changed?
Gao Yi changed his woman every day and brought different women back home. It was as if he had completely let go of himself. He did not like Rainy anymore and to not let Rainy get hurt, Xia Ruoxin had no choice but to let her stay at Madam Mei Fu’s again.
“Gao Yi, can we talk?”
One day, Xia Ruoxin stopped Gao Yi when he was about to go out.
They really needed to have a proper talk.
“Sure,”—Gao Yi lifted her wrist to look at his watch-“but you only got half an hour. I have a date with someone else later. If I fail to show up, will you accompany me?” He said as he checked Xia Ruoxin out from head to toe as if he was ripping her clothes off, which made Xia Ruoxin ashamed.
He walked over, sat down, and folded his legs.
Hurriedly, Xia Ruoxin sat down in front of him.
“Gao Yi, can I ask the reason why?”
Actually, she still could not believe that Gao Yi had become like this. Even if she had seen it for herself not only once, but she still believed that the Gao Yi she knew was not like that. At the very least, he would not be so heartless to the child that he saved himself and had his bone marrow.
She wanted to know the reason why. There was nothing that could not be solved. They could do it, really.
“Reason?” Gao Yi stretched his hand and placed it on his knees before nodding.
“You think a person with a drug addiction history would be the same as the past? Ruoxin…” He suddenly smiled and caressed the shape of her beautiful face. “People will change. The only reason why one won’t is that their life is too boring.”
“But your nature won’t change.” Xia Ruoxin still believed that Gao Yi had some difficulties.
“Nature?” Gao Yi laughed coldly, “Nature. You talk to me about nature? Ruoxin, you don’t understand me at all.” He pulled open the drawer and took out a box of cigarettes from the inside and lit one up before putting it in his mouth to smoke.
This movement looked extremely familiar; it was just like Chu Lui. He had been addicted to smoking for at least a few years and not something that was picked up recently.
“Ruoxin, you’re too naive.” He blew a mouthful of smoke out. “You don’t know anything about my past.”
Xia Ruoxin pressed her lips tightly together. Right, she did not know and did not ask.
“Well…” Gao Yi laughed, and there was as if a gray mist covering his thin face. “Do you want to know?” He used his finger with the smoke smell to touch Xia Ruoxin’s face. Xia Ruoxin shunned it as she did not like the smell of smoke and did not like this version of him.
Gao Yi kept his hand and laughed more daringly.
“I had an affair with someone else when I was thirteen. That woman was my teacher. When I was fourteen, I wrecked someone’s car and locked the owner inside for twenty-four hours. At fifteen, I broke someone’s leg. At sixteen…”
