“Mmm.” Her voice was m.u.f.fled, and her hands were still clutching onto Gao Yi’s s.h.i.+rt. She didn’t want to let go. This warmth was what she had always yearned for.

“Tell me. Did you pa.s.s out while I was in surgery?”

Xia Ruoxin was silent for a long time, but she finally admitted.

“I’m sorry. I really can’t help it.”

“Looks like I guessed correctly again.” Gao Yi starting chuckling.

“Alright. Don’t take it to heart. If you could persist up till now, then you won’t be you.” Gao Yi had no intention of reprimanding her. This woman was simply too cute at times. She was even more adorable than her daughter. To be frank, it was laughable when one thought of it.

Xia Ruoxin could hear the laughter erupt within his chest, and she relaxed subconsciously. However, he was really laughing, and he was making fun of her. She frowned as she realized this man was extremely fond of teasing her.

The way they were holding each other was far too intimate.

“Okay, you must be hungry. I’ll prepare some food for you and Rainy.” She found an excuse for herself as she secretly wiped the tears from her face. Then, she noticed her tears had caused a big wet patch on Gao Yi’s s.h.i.+rt.

It was an obvious big patch apparently caused by her tears. However, one would have thought it was drool.

Many had said that women were made of water. From the looks of it, that was true. Gao Yi glanced down at his chest and smiled. He did not dislike this, not in the slightest bit, because she had given this woman the right to cry. Wasn’t this good for both of them?

Xia Ruoxin ran out in embarra.s.sment. If she didn’t, she would not know how to face this man.

The smile on Gao Yi’s face became even brighter. She was truly an adorable woman… with, of course, an adorable daughter. He turned his head and looked at the child lying on the other bed. She had a set of long eyelashes on her little face. Her fair complexion seemed transparent under the s.h.i.+ning light.

I’m so glad that you are okay, kiddo. Look, I have done what I promised you. So, you must also promise me to get well soon because your mom has been through a lot. You have to be good and obedient.

An adult’s immune system more superior compared to a child’s. A few days later, Gao Yi was up and walking about. However, Rainy had to remain on the bed while taking her injections. She did not feel lonely at all because she had her doll, and that was enough for her. Right now, she also has an uncle to keep her company. That made her extremely happy.

…

At the moment, she was throwing a tantrum at Xia Ruoxin. She turned her face away as she pouted her lips. “Mommy, I don’t want that. I am a big child now, and I don’t need to drink milk. I don’t want milk.” She was shaking her head like a Chinese rattle drum.

Xia Ruoxin waved the milk bottle in her hand helplessly. The milk was high in nutrition. What was Rainy going to drink if not this? She couldn’t possibly feed the milk using a spoon like porridge to her daughter.

“What happened?” Gao Yi walked in with two takeaway bowls. He had bought two bowls of egg soup. He set the bowls down, walked over, and bent to meet Rainy’s eyes.

“Rainy, you have not been a good girl.” His tone was mild. Rainy simply lowered her head and pointed her fingertips together. “But I don’t want to drink milk. I am a big child now, not a little baby.”

Gao Yi reached out and took Rainy into his arms. He took the milk bottle over from Xia Ruoxin, propped Rainy so that she was sitting on his lap, and waved the milk bottle in his hand.

“Rainy, do you know that a lot of children, who are older than you, are still using a milk bottle? Besides, you are only three years old. In our hearts, you haven’t grown up. You are just a child.” He playfully pinched her little nose and was pleased to see that there was finally some color on her face. Recently, she even seemed to gain some weight. He knew that it was only a matter of time before she became the girl with an apple-shaped face that he had liked so much.

“Come, drink up.” He placed the milk bottle in Rainy’s hands and rubbed her little bald head. “You are a child. No one will tease you.” Gao Yi would always manage to explain to her in a unique way as he seemed to understand what was going through her mind.

“After you have finished your milk, I will buy you the egg soup. It’s really delicious, but you have to drink your milk. Then, I will buy you the soup. Okay?”

At the mention of egg soup, Rainy kept nodding her head. She held the bottle with both hands and started drinking. She kept staring at the two bowls of egg soup on the table. Her mother had made the same soup for her, and it was her favorite.

“Ruoxin, pa.s.s me a bowl of soup.” Gao Yi said as he looked at the distracted Xia Ruoxin. Her daughter had obeyed Gao Yi. The girl was more obedient to him than her own mother.

Gao Yi was amused by the gawking woman. Was she worried that he would take her daughter away from her?

“Huh? What did you say?” Xia Ruoxin tugged at her clothes in embarra.s.sment. She had not behaved like this on purpose; she was just too engrossed in her own thoughts.

Gao Yi put his palm on his forehead. “Ruoxin, I asked you to bring me a bowl of soup.” He couldn’t move because the little one was in his arms.

“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin hurried over and took a bowl of soup with both hands. Ouch. It was really hot.

She placed the soup in front of Gao Yi, thinking he had wanted to consume it.

However, he pushed the bowl before her face.

“Now, you drink this. It has been a while since you have eaten. Make sure you drink more. You need to stay healthy. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to carry Rainy once she has gained weight.” When she heard her name, Rainy raised her eyes as she continued to drink her milk. She kept sipping her milk because that was the only thing she could do at the moment. She couldn’t speak, or else she would be a naughty girl.

“I…” Xia Ruoxin’s fingertips still felt hot from holding the soup. She sniffed at her nose lightly because she had never had anyone to care for her like now. No one had asked her if she was hungry, cold, or tired. Only him. All of a sudden, she could feel her eyes tearing up. She quickly lowered her head, hiding the tears from Gao Yi.

“Yes, hurry up and drink. There is another bowl for Rainy.” A smile appeared on Gao Yi’s gentle face. His eyes s.h.i.+fted to Rainy and gave her a pat on her little face.

“You should hurry too, or your egg soup will get cold. Let’s see if you will obey your mother the next time. If you don’t, you’ll only have milk and no soup.”

Rainy nodded her head continuously while she drank her milk. If she wanted to eat more food and drink less milk, she would have to obey her mother next time.

Xia Ruoxin picked the bowl up and put it against her lips. The soup smelled delicious. It must taste good from the looks of it.
