Chapter 679: His Mother must be Tanned

She bent down, picked up her documents from the floor, and patted it before leaving.

Chu Lui looked at her back view and his face darkened. The feeling of failure frustrated him.

How could he forget about this?

He wanted to explain whatever had happened four years ago and give her justice, but he was afraid that it would put her in the spotlight once again. He would definitely return her justice to make up for whatever he did in the past, but the time was not now.

On the other hand, Xia Ruoxin walked back to her office and threw the documents onto the table. Before her butt could warm the seat, there was a knock on the door.

“Sister Ruoxin, it’s me. Can I come in?”

“Come in!” Xia Ruoxin laughed. It was Du Jingtang.

To Chu Lui’s cousin, she could not hate him at all. This man was usually quite smart, but one could not deny that he was a good person compared to Chu Lui.

At the very least, he did save her life before.

Du Jingtang came in. He looked fresh even though his face was tanned, but it did not harm his appearance. It made him look someone with character and was rather handsome. It was especially so when he smiled as he would reveal two rows of sparkling white teeth.

“Sister Ruoxin, why are you here?” Du Jingtang was very excited for real. She was here so his Little Cutie would be here, too. He surveyed his surroundings. Was she hiding?

“Don’t need to look for her. She isn’t here.”

Xia Ruoxin knew what he was thinking. However, she disappointed him. Unless necessary, she did not want to bring her daughter over.

Oh… she was not here. Du Jingtang was slightly dejected. He had even changed clothes and showered before coming here, but he still did not see Little Cutie in the end.

“She’s in the kindergarten. You can see her when you come to my house to eat.”

He was kind of her friend, a friend that she quite liked. Of course, it was also because he really liked Rainy.

Her daughter was loved by many and had much more happiness than her mother when she was young.

Of course, she would not stop these people who genuinely liked her daughter.

“Really?” Du Jingtang scratched his head; he actually had this chance.

“Anytime.” Xia Ruoxin really welcomed him.

“That’s great!” Du Jingtang was actually anxious. He would go in a while so he could see Little Cutie as soon as possible.

“Oh.” He then realized that there was something amiss.

“Sister Ruoxin, why are you here?” Du Jingtang lay on the table. Did something happen in the office when he was not around these few days? Or perhaps, did this couple reconcile?

Obviously, he was overthinking. They had a long way to reconciliation.

However, if there was any progress, it was probably because Chu Lui was now in a more favorable position. However, for Xia Ruoxin, she no longer wanted to have another office romance.

Her life was peaceful. Even though her heart was not as cold as ice, she did not want to think about romance anymore.

As for why was she here, what could she say?

Even heroes needed to bend their backs over for rice, let alone her who was not a hero.

Meanwhile, Du Jingtang was still looking on curiously, waiting for her reply.

“I came to earn my keep.” Xia Ruoxin smiled and held the hand on her knee tightly. “The salary here was pretty high. I didn’t want to be a cleaner so I had to work here.”

“Here? Oh, could it be…?” Du Jingtang reacted immediately. Could all of this be his brother’s doing? Like what he said before, he would not come up with a new department for absolutely no reason.

“Could it be what?” Xia Ruoxin was sensitive enough to feel that Du Jingtang was hiding something from her.

“Oh, nothing much.” Du Jingtang hurriedly laughed along. He was not stupid; if he spilled about this incident, he would probably be killed for it.

Nonetheless, he could not say it. Over his dead body.

He did not dare stay for long so he ran away. However, he did not forget that he could see his Little Cutie after work. It would be even better if he could bring Little Cutie home; his mother would love it and would not bother him anymore.

When Xia Ruoxin went to fetch her daughter, a friend was following behind. At school, all the children were secretly discussing Du Jingtang’s appearance.

“That Uncle is really black.”

“Yes, he is. He must have put on his mother’s mask.”

“No, he must have been burnt by fire.”

“His mother must be black, too.”

These little kids carried on one after another, which made Du Jingtang want to dig a hole and hide inside with his head.

Xia Ruoxin took Rainy over from Teacher Xiao Meng. Rainy held her mother’s hand and tilted her head curiously to look at the foreigner with glowing black skin.

“Little Cutie, do you not recognize Uncle anymore?” Du Jingtang was holding his heart in his hand and felt as though it was going to break. Did his Little Cutie not recognize him anymore? However, it had only been less than a year since they last met.

Rainy hid herself in her mother’s embrace; only her pair of eyes turned to stare at Du Jingtang from time to time.

“Uncle?” she said softly as she was not sure if she recognized the right person.

“That’s right. I am.” Du Jingtang pointed at himself. “I am your most handsome and closest Uncle!”

“Come over, give Uncle a hug.” He bent down and opened his arms for Rainy.

Rainy held onto her mother’s sleeves tightly, obvious that she was shocked by Du Jingtang’s skin color.

“Go on, that is Uncle.” Xia Ruoxin laughed as she explained to her daughter, “Uncle was under Mr. Sun for too long so his skin became tanned. Even though his skin is black, his heart is still white.”

Du Jingtang was literally close to tears. Sister Ruoxin, did you have to be so harsh?

However, Rainy was brave this time and shuffled her small feet over to stand in front of Du Jingtang. She placed her face right in front of Du Jingtang and looked at his black face intently.

Of course, it was still her Uncle.

“Uncle, hug.” She extended her hands to let Du Jingtang hug her. She still remembered Du Jingtang.

“How cute.” Du Jingtang hurriedly hugged the well-behaved girlie on the floor. He was happy to the point where he lost his direction.

However, with Du Jingtang as Rainy’s babysitter, Xia Ruoxin had the time to do her other stuff. She went to buy groceries and did not forget that she promised Du Jingtang a meal.

She cooked up a decent feast, and when she brought it out, Du Jingtang and Rainy were playing very happily. He was really a big boy so for the child Rainy, he was a good companion.
