Love In The Midst Of Mistaken Identities Chapter 545 - The Man Who Had A Daughter But Couldn't Carry Her

Chapter 545 The Man Who Had A Daughter But Couldn’t Carry Her

“It is.” Chu Lui gulped the drink down. His unwavering and emotionless voice made Mo Ming pause for a moment. His fingers lightly ran across the edge of the gla.s.s, the corners of his lips lifting higher.

So, it really was…

“My daughter’s calling another man ‘daddy’, and she’ll never forgive me.” Chu Lui’s eyes stared deeply into the gla.s.s as he turned it in his hand, a look of sorrow flas.h.i.+ng across his pupils.

“How nice, you even have a daughter.” Mo Ming didn’t know if he was expressing his envy or mocking himself. “I don’t even know where my child has reincarnated to. For another person’s kid, I personally aborted my own child. That’s why you’re stronger than me. At least you still have a daughter. But me? I have nothing.”

He turned his face around and drank gla.s.s after gla.s.s of alcohol.

Chu Lui moved his lips slightly. He had done things like that before. However, it was true; perhaps he really was slightly luckier than Mo Ming. His daughter was certainly still alive. Although she disliked and hated this fatheras long as she was alive, that was enough. That’s why he really did seem a lot more fortunate than Mo Ming.

He still had a daughter while Mo Ming only had regret.

The two men had never thought that they would meet under such circ.u.mstances again. Perhaps, they really were birds of the same feather.

The two of them continuously downed the alcohol. That dim light of the night could make others drunk, but it wasn’t going to make him.

By the time Chu Lui propped up his forehead and regained consciousness, Mo Ming was already gone. He rubbed his forehead; hangovers really felt horrible. He shook his head to sober himself up.

He took out his wallet and was just about to pay when somebody suddenly blocked him from paying. “Sir, you don’t have to pay. That man has already settled your bill.”

It was only then that Chu Lui placed the wallet back into his pocket. Four years ago, he paid for the drinks. Four years later, Mo Ming paid for it. They could be considered even now.

His hands were still placed on his forehead as a bitter smile crept onto his lips. An entire night of drinking seemingly allowed him to understand some things better. It was true that he was the same person as before. He had always been so obsessed with coveting that he had forgotten to think about whether other people needed those things or if they were willing to give them up.

Ruoxin, is it still possible for you to forgive me? If I tell you that I really love you, will you believe me?

“If staying away from you can give you happiness, then I’ll do just that…” He straightened his body. The suit on him had long become unkempt. He sat in his car, leaning his head against the car window.

The smile on his lips was still as bitter as before.

From that day on, Chu Lui never appeared in front of Xia Ruoxin ever again. Even when Rainy came to visit the Chu family, he would hide away in the furthest corner, just to sneak a glance at his daughter.

He was afraid that the child would hate him even more.

Rainy picked up a small soccer ball. Uncle gave this to her. Although she was a girl, she was really playful. Her tiny legs ran forward unstably, chasing after the soccer ball that had the prints of a cartoon rabbit on it. She stood in her place, strangely tilting her head to one side. Where was her ball? How come it disappeared?

She sadly flattened her small mouth. She was about to cry because her ball was gone.

There was a ball in Chu Lui’s hand; it was a ball that he had just picked up. Upon seeing his daughter who looked like she was about to cry, his heart naturally ached for her. He walked over and squatted down, rolling the ball towards Rainy’s leg.

Rainy blinked her eyes and only lowered her head after that. She confusedly tapped her foot against the soccer ball next to her. Then, she happily carried it up. “Bally, you’re a good kid, as good as Rainy.” She hugged the ball similar to how she hugged her doll and left the place carrying it. However, she didn’t realize that not long after she left, Chu Lui walked out from behind a tree. His arms had scratch marks from the tree branches.

He looked at his own hands before letting out a pained laugh. His daughter sure was cute and really well-behaved. It was just that up till now, he had still never hugged her before. He clenched both of his hands tightly into a fist. He didn’t care if his hand hurt; he simply stood there, watching over that small figure that had long disappeared.

After that, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Du Jingtang, I’m warning you. Don’t you dare give Rainy dangerous toys. She’s a girl, not a boy.” His hands were still faintly hurting. Thank G.o.d, it was him. If it was Rainy who went to pick up the ball, she would definitely have gotten injured.

Du Jingtang, on the other side of the line, was stunned. He felt so framed. How dangerous could a soccer ball even be? Furthermore, that was what Rainy chose herself; it’s not like he bought it for her because he wanted to. However, he had nowhere to vent his frustrations. Therefore, he could only leave the hand phone slightly further from his ear. This cousin of his… recently, he seemed to like scolding him more.

This wasn’t right, that wasn’t right. I, Du Jingtang, was not born for you to scold me. His mind was really freaking unstable. However, it was understandable. That fella became a father but had no daughter to carry.

Chu Lui always secretly followed his daughter around. In the nursery, in the park-in short, anywhere that his daughter was, it was often possible to find him snooping around the area as well. He hadn’t been to the office for a very long time.

The him now only wanted to see more of his daughter. The company wasn’t going to collapse within one day of him not showing up.

Rainy strangely looked at her surroundings. She placed her small hands on her face and rubbed it for a while. Why did she always feel like somebody was around her?

Oh. Maybe it was the teacher. It was only then that she sat down on the floor and took out the wooden blocks to play with. Her doll, on the other hand, was placed carefully at the side. That was her treasure; she had to bring it with her wherever she went.

The young her didn’t know that danger was actually slowly approaching. Her apple-like small face was extremely focused, and only the color of her pupils resembled Chu Lui’s. The look on the child’s face was innocent and naive, not gloomy. The delicate child… when she smiled, it could melt even the toughest heart.

Li Manni put down the newspaper in her hand and placed her fingers on her bloated abdomen. She struggled to stand up. Up till now, she still hadn’t decided whether to abort the child or not. The child, on the other hand, had grown even more; and if this continued, she was going to have no choice but to give birth to it.

However, she couldn’t… she couldn’t give birth to the child.

She stood up, clenching the hand on her abdomen into a fist. She decided that even if she was going to die, she still wasn’t going to give birth to this b.a.s.t.a.r.d child. If it was not for that man-right now, she wouldn’t even have become like this. How could she still help give birth to that man’s child? There was no way.

She picked up her bag, walked downstairs, and got ready to head to the hospital. Upon seeing her, Mrs. Li let out a ‘hmph’. Right now, even she was too ashamed to go out; where was this big belly going?
