Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 492 - She Is Not Nice



Chapter 492 She Is Not Nice

Rainy played with her own tiny fingers. Yes, she didn’t want Granny; she only wanted Mommy. That child had Granny, but she didn’t have Mommy to fetch her. Therefore, Rainy was still more blissful than her. At this point of thought, Rainy hugged her mother’s neck tightly.

“Rainy loves Mommy the most.”

Xia Ruoxin stopped walking again and gave Rainy a peck on her cheeks. “Yes, Mommy loves Rainy, too.”

“Does Mommy love Daddy, too?” Rainy asked in confusion. She wanted to count in Gao Yi because Rainy loves Daddy, too.

Xia Ruoxin froze for a while before smiling and flicking Rainy’s forehead gently. “Yup, Mommy loves Rainy. Mommy also loves Rainy’s Daddy.”

Rainy gave a silly smile, with her lips arching very upwards.

When they reached home, Gao Yi was already waiting. He immediately took Rainy from Xia Ruoxin’s arms. It had been a day since they met. He missed his little princess so much.

“Daddy’s little angel, did you miss Daddy?” He lifted Rainy up, but Rainy wasn’t scared at all. Giggles and laughter occasionally could be heard. Xia Ruoxin lifted the pot and placed the sliced fish inside it. Today’s fish was big and enough for the whole family to eat.

Outside, Rainy sat on Gao Yi’s thighs, recounting the happenings in the kindergarten and the child that she didn’t like.

“She snatched Rainy’s doll; Rainy doesn’t like her.” Rainy would not tell her mother all these, but she would tell her father.

“Then what did Rainy do?” Gao Yi lightly tapped Rainy’s chubby cheeks. Her chubby cheeks were cute and really made one feel like pinching it. This child was indeed very easy to fall in love with

“Rainy went to play with other dolls,” Rainy said while pouting, “but she was very mean, stepping on Rainy’s shoes,” She paused here, with her facial expression becoming glum. Gao Yi knew that he could not blame Rainy, for Rainy hated other people stepping on her in daily life. Sometimes, when other people wanted to touch her legs, it wasn’t even likely —not to even mention stepping on her legs.

This girl’s personality was so much like her mother, especially in the aspect of being shy and not having too much guts. However, she was also stubborn and not too easy to persuade, and this point was what she took after that man. Indeed, sometimes, blood ties were a strange thing and something that one couldn’t deny.

Although he saved Rainy and stayed by her side every day, her vibes were of that man. Regardless, even if he didn’t have the blood relations with her, he would still raise Rainy as if she was his own biological child, loving her and protecting her.

“Daddy...” Rainy tugged at Gao Yi’s clothes. “Why isn’t Daddy speaking? Are you ignoring Rainy?”

Gao Yi pinched the child’s cheeks. “Daddy is thinking of how much he loves Rainy.”

Rainy happily rubbed Gao Yi’s face. “Rainy loves Daddy, too. Mommy loves Daddy, too.”

This line made Gao Yi freeze and made Xia Ruoxin who just exited the kitchen awkward, too. She didn’t know what to say. She didn’t expect Rainy to remember what she just said... although she did mean it from the bottom of her heart.

When she lifted her head, she made eye contact with Gao Yi’s eyes which was filled with warmth. That warmness floated into her own heart as well. At that moment, she felt her eyes slightly widen. She thought, this should be love.

She walked over, placing the fish slices dish onto the table.

“Daddy and Rainy, come over and eat.”

This sentence of hers made her own heart pitter and patter with happiness. Indeed, Daddy and Rainy... Daddy and Rainy! She finally gave Rainy a father. She knows that while Rainy had a mother, Rainy also needed a father; and given a choice, Xia Ruoxin would choose Gao Yi.

“Mommy, eat the fish.” Rainy pointed at the big plate, hungrily wiping her own tiny lips with her equally tiny hands.

Gao Yi pinched her cheeks. “Eat more and grow faster.”

“Will I grow taller than her?” Rainy lifted her face, blinking her pair of large and bright eyes.

“Who is this ‘her’ that Rainy is speaking about?” Gao Yi brought Rainy into his embrace while asking Xia Ruoxin. Who is this ‘her’, and why did Rainy continuously mention ‘her’?

“A friend from kindergarten, I guess?” Xia Ruoxin removed the bones from the fish skillfully while her own daughter went to scoop rice.

“Rainy made a friend?” Gao Yi rubbed Rainy’s brain, feeling some sense of accomplishment at his daughter’s achievement.

“No.” Rainy lifted her face from the bowl to pout before continuing to have her meal. Her face was full of rice grains, and with her soft voice, her parents didn’t hear anything.

Finishing a bowl of rice, she went to watch cartoons. However, this child was actually used to multitasking: on one hand, watching cartoons on television; and on the other, reading the book that Gao Yi bought for her.

The book comprised of mainly drawings and some simple words, and Rainy could understand a few. In the past, Xia Ruoxin taught her some words at home. Although she didn’t recognize many words, it was no issue for the simpler books like this one.

“Daddy, I’m done.” Rainy placed the book in her hands down. Yet another book was finished.

Gao Yi walked over. “You finished the book?” He took Rainy’s book, casually flipping through some pages. He thought to himself, this child read quite fast. It was only a few days, and the bookseller had mentioned that a child could take at least half a month to read a book.

“Tomorrow, Daddy will buy a few more for you.” He thought that he would buy some more books tomorrow when he passed by the book store.

“Thank you, Daddy.” Rainy sat on his knees to kiss Gao Yi’s cheeks. Her cute expressions made Gao Yi play with her again.

Over the weekends, Rainy gained the most. She had a few more books, as well as a tracking watch, so that Xia Ruoxin and Gao Yi could know where Rainy was at all times.

In the kindergarten classroom, Chu Xiang was carried into the classroom by the teacher like a princess and was continuously entertained by the teacher. Chu Xiang proudly raised her chin. She had become some sort of celebrity in the kindergarten.

“Children, we’ll be collecting the homework.”

The teacher clapped her hands. The so-called homework was just to write some simple pinyin[1].

Chu Xiang’s face turned red for she hadn’t done her homework. All the words looked like bean sprouts, and she didn’t even recognize any. How could she have done it?
