“Stop talking!” Xia Ruoxin did not want to hear any of it. It was not because she could not take it, but it was like opening someone’s wound one by one; and to him, it would mean a whole deal of pain and hurt.

“Don’t wish to hear anymore?” Gao Yi puffed another mouth of smoke at her face, and he had completely lost the sunlight of his past. He now had a dark aura around him, and in the middle, he really changed.

“So, take your child and leave.” He extended his hand and placed it on Xia Ruoxin’s face. “I will be very uncomfortable with you here because you’ve seen me at my best but also my worst. Ruoxin, I’m a man. I can’t face you now, you know? I want to start a new so I need to give up everything from the past. The Bai family, Bai Luoyin, and you.

“You will suffocate me… you’ll make me look down on myself. I don’t like that I can’t control myself. The nicer you are to me, the more I would hate everything. The more you stick by me, the more terrible I would feel. So if you really want the best for me, please leave.”

After he finished, he squashed the cigarette head and threw it into the ash jar.

His every word was like a knife that stabbed into Xia Ruoxin’s heart.

It turned out… her existence to him was a shame.

It turned out… upon seeing his failure, she would be the source of everything.

It turned out… anyone could see his failure, except for her. The more she cared, the more he wanted to abandon her.

Suddenly, she used all her might to bang her head against the table.

Rainy climbed on the cupboard to sit down, with her legs still dangling in the air.

“Mommy, are we moving?”

“Yes, we are.” Xia Ruoxin took out her clothes from the cupboard and folded them carefully before setting them aside.

Within a year, they had already moved house a few times. Just that, they did not know how many times more did they have to move before they could find a home of their own. In the vast world, where would be a spot for the mother and daughter?

She did not have much luggage. Her daughter had one, and she had one, too.

“Mommy, where are we going?” Rainy asked curiously as she climbed down the box and sat in front of her mother.

“Can we see Third Uncle and Aunty Wei?”

“Sure.” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter, and perhaps it was really Rainy who reminded her that her own home was the best. Everything had to return back to their roots. In this country, she was just a mere passer-by. If it was not for Gao Yi who brought her here at the start, she probably would not have left her home country her whole life. She only left the Bai family in the beginning as she could find somewhere to stay, but if she were to move again-honestly, she did not know where to go anymore.

Everywhere was foreign to her, and nowhere felt like home.

So, go home, go back to their not-huge house; the home that had accompanied and witnessed their lives. Rainy was born and raised there. Besides, the situation was different from the past as she could not earn money to give her daughter a better life instead of working as a slave or a coolie.

Actually, she wanted to bid Wei Lan farewell, but she did not know how long she needed to wait before she came back. It would probably be better if they went far away from this place.

She pulled Rainy’s small hand in one hand and her luggage in the other, and left.

She would never forget this place, and so would Rainy-as she believed. The place that had roses all year round, the place that had the fragrance of roses everywhere they went.

“If you’re tired, tell Mommy, okay?”

She bent down and arranged her daughter’s clothes. They were rushing to the airport and would reach home by the next day.

“Okay.” Rainy held Xia Ruoxin’s hand with both her hands. Just that, she sniffed and looked back. Actually, she wanted to see her daddy, but her daddy did not like her anymore.

They did not leave in a hurry, but however slow their pace was, there would still be a day where they left. In this world, there was mostly separation… and even separation by death.

At the airport, Xia Ruoxin carried Rainy and sat down while Rainy had already fallen asleep in her arms. She patted her daughter’s back gently. There were still a few hours before their flight so they would be sitting there for quite some time.

“Mommy…” Rainy called Xia Ruoxin and pressed her face closer to hers. Her eyes were still tightly shut, and her eyelashes moved a little. However, she did not wake up. She instinctively knew that the person carrying her was no one else but her beloved mother.

Xia Ruoxin took off her shirt and covered Rainy’s body and hugged her tighter.

“Rainy, you’ll live with Mommy in the future. Don’t worry, Mommy won’t let you come to any harm. Mommy will earn lots and lots of money to give you a better life.” She looked down and kissed her daughter’s cheeks.

She looked afar and saw a light blue sky, but it was not of the country she was familiar with.

At the same time, there was also a man who looked at the sky; but in his eyes, there was no blue sky or clouds.

There was a knock on the door, and he called the person to enter. The door was open, and the one who entered was his personal secretary, not Du Jingtang. He would never knock on the door; he would only push it or kick it.

“What’s the matter?” He still did not turn back, and the black suit on him made him look colder than ever-even his voice was the same. He was different from the past though: in the past, he was heartless; but now, he was cold. This coldness reverberated from inside his bones and had as if sucked all his emotions away from him, leaving him with none.

At this point in time, he was not a human; and no one would object if he was labeled as a robot.

“CEO, Ms. Xia is here again. She wants to see you and would not leave no matter what,” said the secretary in a difficult position. That difficult Ms. Xia had disturbed her to the point where she was unable to concentrate at work.

If this were to continue, she would probably have to work overtime every day.

The secretary did not see how Chu Lui’s body was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard ‘Ms. Xia’. However, in the end, it was as if he heard nothing and was as calm as usual.

“Let her in.” He turned around, and on his handsome face, there was only clear coldness and distance.

He was Chu Lui. He was Chu Lui that had lost everything so he had no more use for his feelings.
