That’s better. Du Jingtang carried a large pile of things, and they were really heavy. However, since his cousin had just come back, there was a lot of things waiting for him at the company.
The small things he, Du Jingtang, could solve; but the major ones were out of his control.
Without Chu Lui, the Chu Enterprise would not collapse, but that was only temporary. If he disappeared for years, it would be a wonder if it didn’t crash.
However, his lips tightened a little. This time, he almost fell out with his cousin again. Then again, he concluded in the end that everyone had his own circumstances. He had no reason to complain since it was others and not him.
Indeed, his cousin did so because of helplessness.
Honestly speaking, he had started to dislike—and even hate—Li Manni. He always felt like she was too fake and pretentious. If not for her, the child at the hospital might have survived.
However now, it was too late. Nothing could be said and done.
He lowered his head, his eyes landing unexpectedly on a familiar face.
No way. It’s her? He wanted to rub his eyes, but both his hands were occupied.
He ran forward hurriedly, fearing that he would never see that cute face again.
“Rainy…!” He shouted in the huge department store, not caring about his own image at the moment. What’s an image worth, anyway? There was no use if he lost sight of her.
“Hmm?” Rainy was eating the lollipop in her hand, her doll with Gao Yi. Rainy was a unique name so they really did not know who else in the departmental store had the same name as Rainy?
Gao Yi stopped in his tracks, looking at the man who was rushing towards them. He immediately picked Rainy up and stood to the side, afraid that he would not be able to brake and hit the little girl.
Ah, it really was Rainy. Du Jingtang was overjoyed. This was really fate, to be able to see such a pretty child again. Although, he thought the guy holding her looked really familiar.
“Uncle.” Rainy put down the lollipop in her hand and smiled sweetly at him. At this point, Du Jingtang already could not differentiate north from south and east from west.
Unlike Du Jingtang, Gao Yi recognized the man at a glance. He was the one who saved Rainy last time, and so he was credible.
He put down Rainy onto the ground. Rainy held the lollipop in her hands.
“Go. We’ll leave later.” He rubbed Rainy’s tiny head. The child was extremely obedient. Was she looking for his permission?
Rainy ran towards Du Jingtang with wide strides, but when she reached him, she bit onto the lollipop and looked at the tall man in front of him. All the things on his hands. It was like her mother at that time. It must be hard on him.
“Uncle, Rainy can help to carry,” she said, her small hands reaching to take what was in his hands.
“Oh, there’s no need. Uncle can carry them.” Du Jingtang put down the things in his hands in a hurry. They were so heavy, and a child as small as her would be squashed by it.
Nevertheless, he was touched by the gesture. His aunt did not treat him like a human at all and threw all the things to him, not caring at all whether or not he would be crushed to death. It was a good thing that someone was concerned if it was too much for him, even though it was just a small girl.
“Little cutie, you’re really nice.” He bent down to lift Rainy off the ground. He was just slightly turned off by the lollipop in her hand. “Why is there just one? Little cutie, Uncle will buy you a bunch of lollipops. You can sit and eat them inside.”
He would even buy every lollipop in the store, much less say a bunch.
Rainy shook her head though, not greedy the least. “Uncle said not to eat too much candy so Rainy will just eat one. If I eat a lot, my teeth will go bad.” She let out a lovely smile, revealing her small little teeth.
“Uncle? Which Uncle?” Du Jingtang was a little confused, but he looked at Gao Yi. Gao Yi was leaning on his side, watching Rainy with his arms across his chest. In his arms were a doll, which was evidently the one Rainy always carried.
“It’s Rainy’s Uncle.” Rainy turned around and pointed at Gao Yi. She had a mother and now an uncle. She was really happy now.
Really. Du Jingtang felt something sour bubble in his heart. He was feeling jealous.
However, he carefully touched Rainy’s sun hat. Last time, he had seen her bald head, and he wondered if…
He placed his hand on top of Rainy’s head. The lollipop in Rainy’s hand fell to the floor, and she pressed onto her hat tightly with both hands, her lips pursed.
She did not forget that he did not like seeing her like that.
Gao Yi was startled and took Rainy from Du Jingtang’s hands at once. “Hush, don’t be scared. Uncle is here. Rainy is cute, and your hair will grow very soon.”
He narrowed his eyes coldly. They held no blame, but Du Jingtang could feel his unhappiness. Du Jingtang was at a loss. He did not do anything.
“Rainy had an illness that made her hair fall out. She thought people started disliking her so she always wore her hat in front of others.” Gao Yi patted Rainy’s small back lightly and said to Du Jingtang evenly with a trace of coldness.
Du Jingtang felt bad after hearing that. So to say, they had hurt the little cutie last time.
His lips twitched. He approached and placed a hand on Rainy’s head. Gao Yi did not stop him.
“Little cutie, you ran away so fast last time. Actually, Uncle wanted to tell you that you are actually cuter now than before. Uncle does not dislike you.”
“Really?” Rainy turned her head. Her eyes were red from crying, and it made his heart break.
“Really. Uncle is an adult, and if I lie, my nose will grow longer.” He pinched his own nose. Rainy finally smiled, but her red eyes were still pitiful.
She leaned on Gao Yi’s shoulders and pursed her lips. “Uncle, candy dropped.” She reached out her empty hand.
“It’s okay, Uncle will buy one more…”
Gao Yi felt a gust of wind pass by him before he finished speaking. A pile of things dropped onto the floor, and the man in front of him was gone.
Gao Yi pressed his lips together and looked at the things on the ground, not knowing whether he should leave or stay?
