Her features were now more defined than they were before. She resembled her mother when she was a child. It reminded Chu Lui of how Ruoxin was like when he first met her.
However, he forgot that children grew up and that their appearance changed with growth. He only knew that her family name was Xia. He remembered her eyes and his promise, but when he took over the company and went back for his bride, he got the wrong person. Strictly speaking, Xia Yixuan and Xia Ruoxin did not resemble each other. They were not biological sisters so they looked rather different. Their only similarity was their eyes.
That was how he had made a mistake. He did not think too deeply about it, but he had found the wrong person and made a whole bunch of mistakes.
The cart was tugged forward, returning the man to his senses.
"Sorry." He breathed out as he pushed the cart forward. He followed closely behind Xia Ruoxin, focusing all his attention on her.
He could not change the past.
He admitted that he had made mistakes in the past, but he still had the future. Moreover, he would keep apologizing until he was forgiven one day.
Xia Ruoxin got some vegetables after she picked up the crockery.
She then got some tidbits for her daughter. Rainy hugged the snacks happily, her eyes turning into crescent moons.
Chu Lui made a mental note of the name of the snacks.
Xia Ruoxin took her wallet out at the cashier. Chu Lui set his hand aside. He knew that she would not accept his money.
He had time.
Something flashed across his dark eyes, escaping everyone's eyes.
Xia Ruoxin tried to pick up her daughter up when the cart came out. However, Chu Lui was a little faster than she was. He picked her up like she weighed nothing.
Rainy had always been a small child. She did not weigh much before she fell sick, but she lost even more weight after that. Even though she has managed to gain a little back, she was still much smaller and lighter than most children. It was hard for Xia Ruoxin to pick her up with a single hand, but it was easy for Chu Lui.
"So light?" He caressed his daughter's face. "You eat quite a bit every day, but you're not putting on weight. Does she have worms living in her stomach?"
Xia Ruoxin rolled her eyes. That's because she has grown taller. Hasn't he noticed that she was much taller than she was last year?
Gao Yi did say that Rainy's femur was much longer than that of the other children her age, which meant that Rainy might take after her father in terms of height. She was only 1.63 meters, but her daughter would probably be tall enough to be a model. Chu Lui had height; this was the only thing that made her feel he was not that worthless.
The poor CEO of the Chu Enterprise had now been reduced to a worthless being.
Chu Lui carried the bags with one hand while he carried his daughter in his other. It did not feel tough for him at all. Everything amounted to less than 20 kilograms. He could carry twice as much without a struggle.
Rainy was a little sleepy. She dozed off as she lay on Chu Lui's shoulders. Xia Ruoxin took a step forward, but Chu Lui had already left.
"Well, have fun with all the stuff then." Xia Ruoxin scoffed. She actually wanted to offer her help, but since the man wanted to do it by himself, so be it.
Even though it was not a long walk to Xia Ruoxin's place, it was not a short one either, not to mention with bags.
However, Chu Lui was willing to do it, no matter how heavy. The soft, small child in his arms was his daughter, his only daughter. She was his salvation from the heavens.
He never knew he would love his child this much. He wanted to give her everything in the world. However, he could not, because she did not want it.
Xia Ruoxin took her keys out and opened the door. Chu Lui walked in and set everything gently on the floor. These were fragile items. If he were a little more careless, they would be broken like what happened earlier. He really did not know why they were so fragile. This did not happen when he lived alone.
However, CEO Chu seemed to have forgotten that these were ceramics, and they were extremely fragile.
Chu Lui brought the little girl back to her bedroom, removed her shoes, and tucked her in bed. The child was a deep sleeper.
He held her hand. Her hand was barely as big as his finger. Children's growth was miraculous.
His greatest regret was missing the birth of his daughter and her growth. When he found out about her, she was already a small child. She knew and understood things.
He was Uncle, and someone else was Daddy.
There seemed to be things on the table. He picked it up to take a look. It was the proposal written by Xia Ruoxin.
There were numbers on there, probably the saving that she had in her account.
Numbers related to principal sums and installments were scrawled on the paper. She was probably thinking about moving houses.
Chu Lui glanced at it briefly. He had an idea of things. He put the paper back where he had found it and sat at the bed, staring at the little child.
My dear daughter. He caressed the child's cheeks. The blood connection gave him the urge to cry. He felt tears surge in him.
His eyes ached.
Xia Ruoxin walked over and knocked on the door as she stood there.
"Mr. Chu, it's late. Shouldn't you get going soon?"
She was direct. It was getting late. He did not have anything to do, but she wanted to rest. It was not a good idea, given that they were both unwed.
"I know." Chu Lui stood up and held his daughter's hand one last time. He then left as Xia Ruoxin watched him, closing the flimsy door behind him.
