Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities - Chapter 310

Chapter 310: Such a Cute Little Baldy

“What is it?” Gao Yi’s eyebrows were knitted up as he bent down to carry Rainy who was on the floor. The young salesgirl smiled awkwardly like she was in shock. She thought her smile was perfect with affinity. When this child saw her, why did she behave as though she had seen a ghost?

Gao Yi carried Rainy and sat down. He pulled her tiny feet and started dusting. Look, she had dirtied her feet. Rainy leaned into his chest. This time, she was obedient.

She did not like her feet to be touched. However, if it was her mother or Uncle, she could accept it.

“Please bring me a pair of socks. Thank you.”

Gao Yi continued to use his hand to clean Rainy’s feet. The salesgirl regained her senses, and she a pair of socks with pink lace directly from the counter. Naturally, this pair of socks didn’t come cheap.

Gao Yi did not blink. He helped Rainy with the socks carefully, and then he helped her again with the shoes.

“Sir, what is your preferred payment? By cash or credit card?” To her, Gao Yi was like a walking stack of cash. Her face was stretched into a smile that was a little too bright.

He took out his wallet and opened it. At one glance, there wasn’t a lot of cash inside. He pursed his lips. The salesgirl’s face froze when she saw the few large notes in his wallet. Was he penniless? Could he be playing her? She had even spent such a long time providing them with her service. What a waste of her time.

“Uncle, I don’t need the shoes. Mommy has already bought a pair for me.” Rainy kicked her little legs. She was sensitive enough to see the unhappiness on his calm face. On top of that, the young Auntie looked displeased.

She could do without the shoes. She really could. Even though the pair of shoes was indeed very comfortable and pretty.

Gao Yi scooped Rainy up with one hand, using the other to rub gently on her little bald head. “Rainy, do you like the shoes? You will not be a good girl if you lie to me.”

Rainy’s long eyelashes blinked, followed by a nod of her head.

“Yes.”

However, liking the shoes didn’t mean she must have them.

She thought. That’s right. This was the case. There were many things that she liked. However, she knew that it was tough for her mother. So, she had never wanted those things.

It was the same for this pair of shoes.

Gao Yi looked through his wallet and removed a gold card from within. “My apologies.” He did not have a lot of spare cash, but he had numerous credit cards. He never had to worry about money.

He would give Rainy everything she wanted because his heart really ached for her; he was also really fond of this sensible child.

“Oh!” The expression on the salesgirl’s face was so dramatic. It changed a few times in a matter of seconds. At the moment, she did not know if she should laugh or cry.

“Uncle will buy you more as long as you like it.” Gao Yi told the child in his arms with his heart aching as he carried Rainy’s tiny frame with both hands. She was such an obedient child, and she must have gone through a lot of hardships since young. He could even imagine the harder times on that woman named Xia Ruoxin.

Suddenly, his heart went out for Xia Ruoxin, too.

The salesgirl handed the card back to Gao Yi with both hands. Without sparing her a second glance, he carried Rainy and left.

“Thank you for coming.” Before she could finish talking, she heard the door slam closed. It cut off whatever she had to say.

This was the result of her lack of judgment. The customer was obviously a golden goose, but she had treated them so callously. Now, she had been embarrassed.

“What else do you want?” Gao Yi asked the abnormally obedient child in his arms.

Rainy covered her tiny head with her hands. She thought about it. However, in the end, she shook her head. There was one with Mommy so she didn’t need it.

“Do you want a hat?” He pointed at Rainy’s little bald head. Actually, he could tell that the child had been very conscious of her lack of hair.

“Don’t worry. I promise you. Your hair will grow soon, and it’ll look beautiful.”

“Mommy said that, too. She promised to buy me lots and lots of hair clips with a butterfly knot.” Rainy smiled coyly. Even though everyone had said she looked good with her head bald, but she still preferred to wear a bow on her head.

Gao Yi laughed. She was already so pretty and vain at such a tender age; she would definitely be a source of calamity when she became an adult.

Xia Ruoxin had indeed given birth to an extremely adorable daughter. No wonder all the doctors and nurses at the hospital always went out of their way to please her. She was such an intelligent kid.

He carried Rainy and entered a shop selling hats. If that was what she wanted, he would buy it for her.

“This child looked so beautiful. Why is she a baldy?” The moment someone finished saying that, she felt an icy glare targeted in her direction. She hurriedly cowered herself.

Rainy lowered her head as her tiny hands clutched tightly at Gao Yi’s shirt.

“Uncle, I look cute too as a baldy. Mommy and you both told me so.” She looked up and smiled weakly. However, she still looked adorable.

“Of course. Rainy has always been a beautiful girl.” Gao Yi was generous with his praises for the child.

He chose an exceptionally beautiful sun hat. There was also a life-like butterfly on it which was really pleasing.

He put the hat on Rainy’s head and admired for a while. It did look good and suited her.

He paid and left immediately. He did not like the others joking at the expense of a child’s hair. This child had already gone through so much; she did not need this.

“Uncle, I’m sleepy.” Rainy rubbed her eyes. She wasn’t able to endure it for long. After all, she was still an extremely sick patient, and she did not have much energy for it.

“Alright, sleep. I will carry you back to the hospital.” Gao Yi patted her face lightly. Then, he pulled her hat lower to prevent the sun from shining on her little face.

Her face remained pale. No matter how long she had been under the sun, there wasn’t much color on it.

She was a patient and a very sick child.

Rainy’s eyes closed gradually as she leaned on Gao Yi’s shoulders. He was warm like her mother.

Her hands reached out and went around Gao Yi’s neck. “I like Uncle as much as I like my Mommy.” Her voice became softer and softer. Soon, she fell asleep.

Gao Yi removed his jacket and wrapped it around the child’s tiny body. He was a tall man, and so his clothes were big. It wrapped the child entirely as he carried her in his arms.

“Sleep now. We are going back.”
