Gao Yi was now a thorn in her heart, and if she did not remove the thorn, both she and Gao Yi would be in danger.
She thought Li Manni was a psycho, but she did not realize that Bai Luoyin was worse.
The next day, she went to Madam Mei Fu’s house; and Rainy ran over hurriedly once she saw her.
“Mommy, when are you going to bring Rainy home?” Rainy pulled her hand and shook it from time to time. Inside her innocent and naive eyes were endless lies and half-truths from the adults.
Xia Ruoxin bent down and caressed her daughter’s face.
“Rainy, behave. Mommy has stuff to do so Rainy needs to stay at Little Amy’s house. Remember, you must behave and listen to Madam Mei Fu. When I’m done, I will come back.”
Rainy blinked her eyes in reluctance, but eventually, she extended her hands and hugged her mother’s neck.
“Then, Mommy, you need to come back earlier to pick Rainy. Rainy will be waiting for you quietly.”
“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter, and her hands ran through her daughter’s soft hair. She decided silently that no matter what, she must bring Gao Yi back this time.
After she stood up and walked out, the sound of her daughter saying ‘goodbye, Mommy’ was still ringing in her ear.
She hid outside the Bai family yard and waited. After a few hours, there was still no one there. She took out the biscuit she prepared in the morning, and it had already turned cold.
She sat on the floor to eat the biscuit before forcefully swallowing it.
A car drove over; it was Bai Luoyin’s. She hurriedly hid herself. The car stopped, and the car door was opened. Bai Luoyin came out of the car, followed by a man-Gao Yi. The Gao Yi now was extremely thin, and even his good-looking eyes of the past were as if covered by a mesh. He could not see anything clearly.
“Has my phone been repaired?” He asked Bai Luoyin. It had already been a few days; why had it not been sent over?
“It’ll be done soon. I’ll get someone to deliver it.” Bai Luoyin rested her head on Gao Yi’s shoulders while Gao Yi did not budge.
“So slow?” Gao Yi was not looking well. He shook his head, and the instinctive temper filled his body once again.
“Go back first. I’ll go to the hospital myself.” He really felt that he should go for a check-up. While it was true that he was a doctor, but without any check-ups, how would he know illness he had?
Hospital? Bai Luoyin’s eyes flashed, but Gao Yi did not notice.
“I don’t feel good if you do that,” said Bai Luoyin as she hugged Gao Yi’s arm tightly. “Why don’t I tell my father, and we can put aside the Ling Xing company project. I’ll accompany you to do a check-up first.”
“Ling Xing?” Gao Yi furrowed his brows and rubbed it with force.
“Forget it, let’s just wait till the deal with Ling Xing company is over.” This deal was not easy to get, and he had poured his heart and soul into it. If it were to be delayed, the losses would be quite severe.
“It’s hard on you.” Bai Luoyin continued holding his arm, and her eyes were filled with pity. “Recently, there have been a lot of business dealings. I can’t even handle it myself. This is all Dad’s fault. He insisted on bringing Mom out to play and left the company to you.”
It was okay. Gao Yi remembered that his mother had not been out for a very long time. He was fine with being busy as long as if it meant his mother could relax more. At most, he would be tired, but after this period was over, it would be better.
The duo walked in, and the gate shut behind them.
