He wouldn't and didn't dare to . Nobody dared to touch his—Chu Lui's-daughter . Qin Luo knew him for more than ten years already . If he didn't have complete trust in Qin Luo, there was no way he would've handed his daughter over to him . Du Jingtang scoffed . “Okay, okay . Just pretend that I didn't say anything . Just pretend that I didn't say anything . ”
He wasn't an idiot . He was just too worried about the little cutie . Alright then . He had already expressed his concerns; now, all that was left for him to do was sit and wait .
It was just that it felt like there were thorns on his butt; there was no way for him to sit still .
They waited for another unknown period of time . Du Jingtang waited so long that he felt like scratching the wall already . He checked the watch on his wrist from time to time . Another ten minutes had passed . Just then, the sound of lighthearted footsteps traveled from inside the room; and the three of them redirected their gaze .
Qin Luo held Rainy's hand and walked out . Although Rainy's eyes were still red, she had evidently stopped crying . Her ugly and unsightly watermelon head had been permed into a few cute curls by Qin Luo . It wasn't long, and it wasn't short-very suited for this extremely attractive small face . Upon seeing it
—even though her hairstyle was still short, it made her appear a lot more naive and cuter than before . This was really better than that watermelon head . Furthermore, she really looked like a mixed-blood now . Her hair was also slightly dyed into a light shade of linen .
“Don't worry . This dying agent won't harm her body . ” Qin Luo explained . Of course, he knew what Chu Lui was worried about . “Of course . ” His voice continued . “These colors will stay with the hair as it grows, making it look more natural and prettier . ” He held Rainy's hands as he approached them . Then he let go of her tiny hands .
“Alright, Baby, go look for your Mommy . ”
Rainy extremely obediently nodded her head before running towards Xia Ruoxin and hugging her tightly . “Mommy, is Rainy pretty?” She saw herself in the mirror just now, and she looked almost like her dolly . She really liked it . There were even small curls on her hair .
“Really beautiful . ” Xia Ruoxin complimented her daughter and smiled gratefully at Qin Luo . Qin Luo simply raised his eyebrows . “You don't have to thank me because somebody will be paying me quite a large sum of money for this . I won't need to do business for a few months . ”
He nonchalantly stood at the side and placed his hand on his chin . “Don't you agree? Mr . Chu . This time will cost more than four years ago . Remember, deposit the money into my account . Pay anything less, and I'll be going directly to your office to get my money . Don't blame me for embarrassing you then . ” Qin Luo sluggishly narrowed his eyes . Yes, Chu Luithis man, he was a stupid man with a lot of money . He could probably blackmail him for more money . Anyway, Chu Lui could just pluck a strand of his hair, and that would be enough for him to feast for a year .
“Don't worry, I won't pay you any less . ” Chu Lui stood up and placed both of his hands into his pocket . Although nonchalant, it also looked dignified . He closed both of his eyes, and surprisingly, he suddenly felt faint . He quickly shook his head, wanting to feel a little more awake .
Du Jingtang was totally satisfied with Rainy's new look . She really looked like a mixed-blood baby . Those small curls especially, they could randomly be tied up with a variety of ribbons . She could even have an entire head of ribbons .
“Du Jingtang, let me warn you . Don't you dare touch Rainy's hair again . ” Du Jingtang was still thinking about it when-in the end-he heard Chu Lui's cold, tough voice; making his entire body involuntarily freeze for a moment . For god's sake . This man was definitely that bug in his stomach . How did he always know what he was thinking about? It was really repulsive .
“Little Cutie, come and let uncle hug you . ” Du Jingtang reached out his hands to carry Rainy . However, Rainy simply blinked her eyes at him and then shook her head . Her sweet voice resonated: “Rainy wants Mommy to carry her, not Uncle . ”
She buried her small face in Xia Ruoxin's chest . With Mommy here, she didn't want anybody else .
Du Jingtang's expression crumbled . This heartless child, he doted on her so much for nothing . There was no way for him to not dote on her . Who asked her to be so cute? It made him always unable to reject her .
Forget it . He was no match for her mother in the first place anyway .
“Thank you, we'll get going . ” Xia Ruoxin picked her daughter up, her eyes constantly avoiding Chu Lui . Then, she turned around and left . Nothing was going to change even if she took another look . That's why she might as well just not take another look at him . She might as well just let it be .
“That time, I felt like you would regret it, and it turned out to be true . ” Qin Luo straightened his body and approached Chu Lui . He placed his hand on Chu Lui's shoulder . Then, he applied pressure to it . Chu Lui's body swayed slightly before Qin Luo released his hand . “You're really sick . Go back to the hospital . I don't want to have to attend your funeral a few days later . ”
After speaking those harsh words, he brazenly swung his body around and walked forward . “You really lost to your stubbornness . You clearly loved her, and yet you kept saying you hated her . You sure knew how to lie to yourself . There are many idiots in this world, and it turns out that you're one, too . ”
“Yes, I regret it already . However, there's nobody to give me a second chance . ” Chu Lui's lips lifted into a bitter smile . People only get one chance . A second chance was really too hard to get—so much so that it practically didn't exist .
“If I gave you another four years . What would you do?” Qin Luo suddenly stopped walking . Another four years, it was important to know that four years was a long time-very long . What would he do then? Qin Luo really wanted to know .
“I would do everything that I can . It doesn't even matter if it's four years, eight years, or sixteen years of my life . Even if it was my entire life, I'd be fine with it . I don't just owe it to her; I owe it to myself to do this . I owe her a mountain of debt and my happiness as well . ” The hands by Chu Lui's sides clenched firmly into fists . The pain within his palms made him feel a little more awake . It didn't matter how long, he was willing to wait; even if it was going to take a lifetime, he didn't mind .
The only thing he was afraid of was not waiting for this chance . He already said it before; he wasn't going to force her ever again . That meant that he also wasn't going to use his old methods . He wasn't going to steal things from others anymore; instead, he would learn how to be understanding . Then learn the absurd-how to be appeasing .
“Really? I had never thought of you as such a devoted man . Chu Lui, you have really opened my eyes . What a revelation . However, as your friend, I do hope that you can go back to how you were before . At the very least, you were powerful then . ”
Chu Lui's throat stung a little . Was he powerful? No . As brilliant as his schemes were and as capable as he was, there was no point in him expanding the Chu Enterprise because he was just a man-an ordinary man . He felt exhaustion and loneliness just as any other human did, and at the very end, he actually had nobody by his side .
As compared to him, that Gao Yi was evidently way more fortunate .
At the very least, he had her .
