Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 339: It Was Not That Difficult

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gao Yi had just stepped into the kitchen when he heard her voice behind him.

He turned back suddenly and placed his plate on the table and then walked towards her with quick strides. Bitterness gathered at Xia Ruoxin’s chest. She herself could not accept herself, let alone others.

A warm body approached and locked her in a tight embrace. She heard clearly the man’s breathing... as if he was trying to hold back something?

“I’m sorry, Gao Yi.” She did not know why she apologized. Perhaps she had disappointed him.

“Was it because of Rainy?” Gao Yi lifted Xia Ruoxin’s chin. His strong arms held the shaking woman tightly. He should have known what a helpless woman, one who needed to sell her own blood to save her daughter, had to do to afford the medical expenses.

“Yes.” Xia Ruoxin nodded. She cried. She seldom shed tears for herself because she had suffered enough. However, she still cried at this moment from grievance. “I’ve asked everyone I could, but no one would help me at that time. I could only sell myself. I couldn’t let Rainy die.

“She was so young. I’ve already deprived her of good days. I can’t let her lose her life.

“Gao Yi, I’m dirty, aren’t I?” She laughed sadly, but no matter how much she had lost, she did not regret it, for her daughter was still here.

Gao Yi shook his head, reaching out his finger to gently wipe away her tears. “How so? You still don’t believe me. I said I don’t care about your past or any part of it. Understand?”

He pressed his forehead against Xia Ruoxin’s. His clean breath fanned her face from time to time. She blinked, her lashes fluttering. The man’s eyes were filled with heartache for her. He really did not despise or look down on her.

“Believe me, Ruoxin. No matter what happened in the past, you are still Xia Ruoxin. I’m not that clean, too. Isn’t that good?” He let Xia Ruoxin lie on his shoulder. Cry, just let it all out. It was better than holding it all in.

At this moment, no one could blame her. No one had a reason to criticize her. No one had the right to do so. She had suffered through too much. For a woman to do so much was already really moving, so who could bear to do so?

Definitely not him... because he had really fallen for this woman as well as her cute child.

“Ruoxin, give me a chance and learn to believe me. We can give Rainy a home. I need you. Haven’t you realized how happy I am?” He placed a hand against Xia Ruoxin’s face, his thumb caressing her face.

Xia Ruoxin lowered her head and reached out a hand to hold his gently. She did not answer. The unknown future was not one that could be determined or influenced.

She wanted to give it a try, to give Rainy a family, and to be happy. Could she? Was this really not selfish?

“Don’t worry too much about it. I won’t force you. I’ll give you time.” Gao Yi used his sleeves to wipe the tears on Xia Ruoxin’s face and said to her. He did not want her to feel pressured.

Xia Ruoxin’s lips moved slightly. She had something to say, but she lost her voice. At this moment, she turned her head and saw Rainy standing at the door.

“Uncle, Mommy. Rainy is hungry.” She hugged her doll and looked at them sadly. Really? All adults do was hug, leaving her hungry.

Gao Yi let go of Xia Ruoxin in a hurry and picked up the little imp, who had her lips pursed. “You’re hungry? Your uncle’s hungry, too.” He took her outside and picked up the plate on the way.

Xia Ruoxin turned around and hurriedly took the tea she prepared out. Her eyes met with Gao Yi’s. Their eyes were filled with delight, and on their lips hung a light smile.

Perhaps some decisions were not that difficult, just like he said.

Their feelings may not be intense nor strong, nor earth-shattering, nor till the end of time, but they were accumulating with every little bit of love and care. There was no harm, no pain. They could live happily if they could live forever like this.

At this time, on the 18th story of the Chu Enterprise, a pair of big feet was walking briskly. The man had furrowed eyebrows and a pile of documents in his hand. His stomach grunted awkwardly.

“Stop grumbling!” He yelled at his stomach.

Then, he looked at the watch on his wrist. At this time, they should be off from work, eating, or going home, but he was stuck working overtime. He was really hungry and wanted to eat something, but his cousin was like a robot and did not let him go. He did not have a choice.

He pushed open the door to the office without knocking. It was already very respectful of him. He pushed instead of kicking.

He placed the documents in his hand on Chu Lui’s desk. As for CEO Chu, he was typing away at his computer with a calm expression.

Was he not tired? He was like this every day. Did he not miss his gentle wife, his home? He had been like this ever since the child was gone. Did he turn silly or go crazy?

“Cousin, it’s five o’clock.” He reminded.

“Mmm,” Chu Lui just replied blandly.

“Cousin, are you hungry?”

“No.” Chu Lui typed out a string of instructions rapidly and then turned the chair and took the documents on the table. He was like this almost every day and had already forgotten the normal time to get off of work. In the entire company, no one worked more overtime hours than the CEO, and he would not even get overtime pay because he was the boss.

“But Cousin, I want to get off work. I’m hungry.” Du Jingtang sat on the sofa at the side dispiritedly. His stomach grumbled again as if on cue.

Chu Lui raised his head and narrowed his flashing black eyes. “I didn’t ask you to work overtime.” With that, he returned to his documents. He was really comparable to a machine’s strength sometimes.

Du Jingtang rolled his eyes. His words held no weight. The boss had not left, so how could he?
