  Xia Ruoxin retracted her hand and stood up. Rainy clutched onto her blouse voluntarily as she smiled shyly. The child was born with good looks, and the smile only made her more endearing and adorable.

  Xia Ruoxin rubbed her daughter’s head. Then, she bent down and scooped the child up.

  “Mummy is not tired, and Rainy is also very light. We can walk faster with me carrying you.” With that, she carried her daughter and walked out. Her left arm was still weak so she had always been using her right one to carry her daughter.

  Rainy obediently hugged Xia Ruoxin’s neck. Her beautiful face was lit up with a smile of pleasure as she swung her legs. She should be happy because she would be having a new pair of shoes.

  Xia Ruoxin bought a pair of pink leather shoes with a nice-looking design.

  When she was trying them on Rainy, the girl had a look of extreme discomfort on her face. She was barely tolerating.

  She was putting up with it because it was her mother. If it was another person, she would have given them a kick.

  “The child has very good-looking feet.” The shoe salesperson was admiring the cute, little feet in Xia Ruoxin’s hands, and she had wanted to reach out and touch them. However, before she could do so, she was stopped by the sudden stern look on Rainy’s face.

  Her hand stopped in mid-air, and she withdrew awkwardly.

  The look in the child’s eyes was so weird that she could not describe it.

  “Mommy.” Rainy buried herself in Xia Ruoxin’s arms and tucked her feet away.

  “I’m sorry. My daughter does not like her feet to be touched.” Xia Ruoxin explained apologetically.

  “Ah…… that’s alright. So this was the reason why.” The salesperson nodded her head as it dawned on her. It seemed that she had the same encounter with another person with such a weird temper.

  Yet, she could not remember with whom.

  “We will make a move first. Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin carried her daughter, and the pair of old shoes in her hand while Rainy wore the new shoes.

  After Xia Ruoxin left, the salesperson continued to think about her encounter with the person who had the strange habit.

  All of a sudden, her eyes lit up.

  “I know. It was that Chu Lui who was always appearing on the business magazines.” She had heard it from her sister who was working in the Chu Enterprise. She said that man had a strange habit; one could step and touch him anywhere but his feet. He would go crazy.

  “You……”


  She looked up and realized that she had been talking to herself. She stared out as she felt a feeling of regret. How wonderful would it be if she had such a beautiful daughter?

  It would be the envy of everyone.

  Xia Ruoxin carried Rainy as they walked on the streets. The warm sunlight shone on them which made them both comfortable. It might have been the pair of new shoes which made Rainy exceptionally happy today. Her eyes curved into a crescent as she ate the ice cream cone in her hand.

  “Is it nice?” Xia Ruoxin stopped and looked at the satisfaction on her daughter’s face. One candy or an ice cream cone was able to make Rainy feel like the happiest child.
