Chapter 566 What’s Wrong with that Daddy?

Qin Luo lifted his lips slightly. This kind of Chu Lui, it was really something he had never seen before. As expected, men like him, once they genuinely fell in love, their feelings weren’t something to belittle. The colder a person was, the more passionate they were when they fall in love.

“What a pity that you missed your chance and your daughter.” Qin Luo crossed his arms in front of his chest. Reflected on the mirrors surrounding them were his figure and that of another man’s-evidently dismal. Actually, not having any feelings was also rather great. Take him as an example, he lived so freely. However, upon seeing this Chu Lui in front of him, he realized—if one had never loved before, wouldn’t that become a big regret in their life?

Upon hearing the door open, he turned his head only to see Xia Ruoxin standing at the entrance. Oh, their conversation just now; she must have heard all of it, right?

“Sorry, I forgot to take something.” Xia Ruoxin lowered her head and walked towards the sofa that she was sitting on before. On top of the sofa was a bunch of keys. However, just as her hands had reached out to grab them, another hand reacted much faster.

“Here.” Chu Lui smiled weakly. His eyes were bloodshot and eye bags were evident below his eyes. Recently, he really was a little overworked. He had injuries on his body, a cold, and-on top of that-a large pile of work to do. Being able to stand there right now, he could already be considered very tough.

Xia Ruoxin’s fingers trembled slightly, only taking the keys from him after a long time. When she held the keys in her hand, she felt his warmth on them.

“Thank you,” she softly said her word of thanks, and Chu Lui shook his head in return. “You don’t ever have to thank me for anything. I’m the one who should be thanking you. Thank you for giving birth to Rainy, and thank you for letting her come visit me.”

“She’s my daughter. Of course, I gave birth to her.” Xia Ruoxin turned around, a look of pain flashing across her eyes. Rainy really made her life extremely exhausting. However, it was also because of her that she was able to have such an exceptionally fulfilling four years. As for the reason she wanted to give birth to Rainyit had nothing to do with the child’s father. It had nothing to do with anybody; it was simply because Rainy was her daughter, her baby.

As for letting Rainy visit him, that was because he was Rainy’s father after all. Moreover, it was a fact that he had saved Rainy.

“I’ll send you.” Chu Lui’s smile was a little strained, and his complexion had gotten worse than before. He walked in front of Xia Ruoxin. However, his body suddenly swayed to the side.

He pulled open the door, and the dim lights outside momentarily blinded his eyes.

“Mrs. Xia.” Qin Luo suddenly spoke. He leaned aside and placed his hand on his chest. “Mrs. Xia, he’s ill. Don’t let him continue pushing himself. He’s very sick. His body is ill, and so is his heart.”

Xia Ruoxin paused for a moment. However, she didn’t reply. After that, she continued shifting her two legs, walking and instinctively moving forward.

Qin Luo placed down his hands from his chest and walked to a sofa at the side. He sat down, extending out his two long legs, a sigh suddenly escaping from his lips.

“Actually, both of you are ill; and it isn’t going to be easy for any of you to recover. Sickyou’re both sick...”

“Mr. Qin, is something wrong?” His employee came over. What was sick?

“Mr. Qin, are you sick?” He strangely asked Qin Luo. Qin Luo simply smiled at him, showing a set of white teeth. His smile was surprisingly lascivious, bewitching even the man in front of him. The cup in the man’s hand swayed to the side, almost dropping.

“No, I’m not sick. You’re sick. See, your hands are shaking, really shaking.” Qin Luo smiled a little more flirtatiously, and yet-in his tea-colored eyes, there was a faint sense of coldness.

The mirrors all around reflected this man’s slightly cold smile, but at that moment, his lips pressed together a little tighter.

“Ruoxin, I’ll send the both of you.” Chu Lui placed his hand on top of Xia Ruoxin’s shoulder when suddenly-as if remembering something, he hastily removed them. He knew that she didn’t like him approaching her.

He really didn’t think much of this. He also didn’t have any hidden agendas or schemes. He simply just wanted to send them home; he wouldn’t be much of a burden to them.

“That’s alright. Rainy and I can just walk back ourselves.” Xia Ruoxin’s body slightly tensed just because his hand felt unbelievably warm. It was so warm that it was scary. Moreover, his face—it had no color on it. He was sick; did he even know that?

“Ruoxin, I just want to send the both of you back. Can’t I?” Chu Lui smiled bitterly. He really just wanted to send both of them back and also see more of them; was that really not okay?

“That’s alright, Gao Yi’s still waiting for me. I don’t want him to misunderstand.” Xia Ruoxin toughened her heart and resolved her mind. She walked straight forward while carrying Rainy and never looked back. Rainy leaned against her mother’s shoulder, her large grape-like eyes staring straight at Chu Lui who stood behind them. Her small hand tightly gripped on Xia Ruoxin’s shirt, and then she buried her face into Xia Ruoxin’s chest.

“Cousin, what happened to you?” Du Jingtang rushed over to hold up the extremely pale Chu Lui. At that moment, Chu Lui’s mind seemed to have become muddled from the fever. His eyes stared straight at Xia Ruoxin’s distancing figure, her words replaying in his head.

‘I don’t want him to misunderstand... don’t want him to misunderstand.’ Then, was she not worried about how he felt?

As expected, she really didn’t care about him anymore. What was there to be sad about?

“I’m fine.” Chu Lui pulled away Du Jingtang’s hand. He dragged his hurting leg with him as he approached the car step by step. Du Jingtang stood in his place for a very long time before finally following Chu Lui into his car. Could he even drive like that? It wouldn’t be surprising if the car drove him.

He really wanted to drive the Little Cutie home as well, but right now, this man seemed to need somebody to send him back.

After getting onto the car, Chu Lui placed his hands on top of his chest. His chest rose and fell periodically, and his lips were extremely chapped.

Unintelligible whispers escaped his lips from time to time, and it seemed like he was saying sorry many times. Du Jingtang, who sat beside him, let out a deep sigh. ‘Sorry’... saying that right now was useless.

That person didn’t need apologies anymore.

The car started. He needed to send this man back to the hospital as fast as possible; otherwise, Mr. CEO Chu’s mind was going to be burnt silly.

It was only after the car drove away that Xia Ruoxin walked out from behind, her hand gripping her daughter’s small hand.

“Mommy, what’s wrong with that Daddy?” She lifted her head and asked Xia Ruoxin. Her child-like voice had hoarseness to it from crying for a long time.
