185: Buying A Doll

Buying A Doll

"For some, this is the only way," Gao Yi said this sentence in a matter-of-fact manner. Then, he removed his robe and tossed it aside. "I can leave now since you are back."2

The man put his hands into his pockets. Without the strict-looking doctor's robe, he looked suave and handsome.

"Oh, yes, I really must thank you. You have just returned and have to take over my shift. I will remember this." The man smiled as he said this, "Time really flies. Three years ago, you helped me with my shifts, and now, you're still helping. Sometimes, things can happen in the most surprising way."

Gao Yi raised his eyebrow. "Perhaps, the world has no lack of surprises. There might even be surprises within surprises." With those meaningful words, he turned and gave a wave before walking out.

Many turned back for a second look as he walked past. His features were not very handsome, but he made others feel comfortable, especially when he smiled. It was elegant, like a royalty—which was unforgettable.

…

Once again, they stood outside the display window. Rainy stared at the doll, unblinking. She could not understand why her mother had brought her back here.

"Rainy, Mommy is going to buy you that doll. Okay?" Xia Ruoxin put her daughter down and squatted down beside her as she caressed her frowny little eyebrows.

She bit her finger and then looked at Xia Ruoxin. Finally, she nodded her head. Soon, she shook her head as if she had recalled something.

"Mommy, I have grown up. I don't need to play with a doll." She hugged Xia Ruoxin's neck and gave the doll another look as her eyes misted with a look of yearning.

"Rainy is still a child. That's why you can tell Mommy if you want anything." As she kissed her daughter's tender face, Xia Ruoxin felt her heart ached. This child was too obedient.

"Come on." She held her daughter's hand as she pushed the door open and walked in.

All the display cabinets inside were made of glass, and there was an extravagant feel which was not presented at the shop front. Besides dolls, the shop was selling much other jewelry. Even all the staffs were beautiful.

Not to mention the customers who patronized the place. All of them were well-dressed and wearing jewelry.

On the other hand, Xia Ruoxin was the only one with simple and plain clothing. Her clothes were old, and one could tell that they had been washed many times.

No one had approached her since she entered because they had not thought that she could afford to buy anything.

"Can I have a look at that?"

She pointed at the beautiful doll which has been placed at the highest shelf. Rainy hugged her thigh and tried to hide behind her.

The salesperson measured Xia Ruoxin with her eyes turned upwards. "You can't look if you're not buying." A clear sign of despise. That was an expensive doll. Could she afford it?

Xia Ruoxin lowered her head and took out the money from her pocket. It was the money she had gotten when she sold her blood and combined with her savings, it was enough to purchase the doll.

She could make it happen as long as Rainy liked it.
