Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 579 - The Same Doll


Chapter 579 The Same Doll

He closed the door. The entire office was silent, and he was alone. There was no chatty Du Jingtang with him anymore. The office atmosphere started to feel cold and empty. This was the feeling of standing above people. It turned out to be so lonely. He used to enjoy it, but now, he was tolerating it.

He returned to his office desk and took out the documents he hadn’t finished looking through. However, after glancing over the documents once, he couldn’t stand to look through it again. There were too many things weighing down on his heart, and he had already lost the ability to focus.

He placed down the documents in his hand and then placed his hands onto his chest. His chest hurt unbearably. It felt as if it was being ruthlessly ripped open by a pair of hands. It was such a clear and understandable form of pain.

He reached his hand into his shirt pocket. That was the place closest to his heart. Then, he took out a few pieces of paper that he had pieced together and placed them flat on the table one by one. On top of them were his unsparing expressions that were never to be seen again. So, even he could smile so earnestly and so happily. So, behind all that hatred, he actually could have been happy. He really could have been happy.

“Ruoxin, thank you…” His fingers gently touched the carefully-glued papers on the table. Normally, he wouldn’t even have the heart to take them out; for fear that they would fall apart again. If it was possible, he really wanted to get a perfect picture; however, he knew that that was already impossible.

“Ruoxin, I’m sorry…” His lips gently moved. That apology, it contained a lot of sighs, helplessness, and intolerance. If one ‘sorry’ could be exchanged for a part of ‘forgiveness’, how many ‘sorry’ would he need to exchange for her complete forgiveness?

“Ruoxin, you must remember to be happy. I stole away your happiness, and now, I’m returning it to you. Although I’m not the one giving you happiness, I know that I already have no right to make you happy. That’s why I can only let other people give you happiness. You have to be happy, you have to. Also, take good care of our daughter.

“Rainy, you remember, too. Daddy loves you… really loves you. Even if you won’t ever know about it, your last name is actually Chu; and your father, his name is Chu Lui. Actually, you know? Daddy has already come up with a name for you.

“It’s Chu Zhixi; do you like it?” He spoke and spoke, mumbling to himself while sighing intermittently. He lowered his head, and nobody saw how this man who was ruthless and coldhearted in the eyes of the public, covered his hands over his face at that moment. That shimmering teardrop fell from his eyes and then dripped onto the floor of his quiet office.

Nobody knew, and nobody would ever find out.

Inside the resting room at the airport, Du Jingtang hugged Rainy tightly. He didn’t want to let go of the little cutie. After he lets go of her, the chances of them meeting in the future would decrease; and it wouldn’t be so easy for them to meet anymore. In the future, she would be another family’s child; and she wouldn’t be able to call him ‘Uncle’ anymore. Thinking up to here, his heart… it felt unbelievable anguish.

“Little Cutie, don’t forget about Uncle. Otherwise, Uncle’s love would’ve all been in vain. You must remember: for you, Uncle worked several days overtime; and my pay… I don’t even know how much of it had been cut. But for you, Uncle can give up everything.” Although what he was saying was somewhat exaggerated, they were pretty much true.

“Little Cutie, you must remember Uncle’s face. Don’t forget it. Come, remember it.” He pulled Rainy’s small hand and placed it onto his face. “Little Cutie, your uncle is very handsome. That’s why you’ll definitely remember me, right?”

He pinched Rainy’s adorable face, practically about to carry Rainy and run away. That way, they wouldn’t need to be separated. However, right now, he could only sit there pitifully hugging the child in his arms.

“Have you remembered your Uncle’s face?” He used both of his hands to prop up the child’s tiny face, keeping her eyes on his own handsome face. “You have to remember; otherwise, I will be very sad.” He tightly furrowed his brows. He really couldn’t bear to part with her-he really couldn’t. What was he supposed to do?

Rainy lifted her small hands and then… ‘pa’. Her hand connected with his face. That loud and clear sound stunned Chu Jiang and Song Wan. Since when did Rainy learn to hit people?

They didn’t see it wrongly, did they? Rainy, who had always been well-behaved, actually hit somebody.

Even Xia Ruoxin, who was standing outside, was shocked. She made eye contact with Gao Yi; both of them unable to believe what they had just seen.

Du Jingtang also didn’t get angry. He simply sulked. “Little Cutie, although your slap didn’t hurt, your Uncle still has some image to upkeep.” Of course, he wasn’t going to get angry. She was just a child.

Rainy blinked her large eyes and then reached out her tiny hands. The tiny delicate hands opened.

“There’s a bug.” Just as she said, everybody saw a small black, mosquito-ish organism in her hand.

“My Little Cutie is so clever! You got it in one hit!” Du Jingtang laughed even more happily. His fingers gently rubbed Rainy’s soft hair, whereas Chu Jiang and Song Wan heaved a sigh of relief. That’s why they said: their granddaughter was an obedient child; how could she have hit somebody? So it turned out to be just a bug.

“Ruoxin, we have to board the plane.”

“Yes. I know.” Xia Ruoxin walked over to bring her daughter with her.

However, these few people simply stared at her. That unwillingness to part with Rainy, that sadness… it made her unknowingly retract her fingers slightly.

Forget it, she changed her mind again.

“Let’s give him some more time. They won’t be able to meet anymore in the future.”

Gao Yi understood. There was still another ten minutes.

Xia Ruoxin originally planned to habitually say ‘thank you’. However, in the end, she gently pressed her red lips together instead; and not a single word of gratitude had come out.

“Very well.” Gao Yi was very satisfied with Xia Ruoxin’s behavior. As long as she didn’t let him hear the word ‘thank you’. Otherwise, he would always feel that the distance between them was a little far.

Rainy sat on Du Jingtang’s lap, and Du Jingtang took out a doll as if performing a conjuring trick. “Cute, right? Just as cute as you.” He pinched Rainy’s small cheeks again. Then, he placed the doll in her arms. Rainy hugged the doll tightly, her eyes slightly widening

“This doll looks so much like Rainy’s doll.” She brought her doll over. Other than the different clothes, it was practically a carbon copy of her favorite doll—so beautiful.

Rainy hugged her doll in her arms tightly. The same doll, it made her really happy. Xia Ruoxin held the new doll in her arms.

She lifted the doll in her hands and took a look. It was indeed exactly the same.

“This is a limited edition. You can only find it in a few countries. None of the dolls are identical in this series. I really don’t know how that fella managed to get it,” Gao Yi calmly said. Actually, he had searched for this type of doll as well. Rainy’s doll was getting a little old, and he wanted to give one to her. However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn’t find a suitable one. Who would have thought that Chu Lui actually managed to find it?
