Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 567 She Agreed

“That Daddy is sick. He’s going to go get a flu shot and eat his medication.” Xia Ruoxin squatted down. She reached out her hand and placed it on her daughter’s hair. What cute curls—these were given to her by that man.

“Does Rainy like it?” This?” Her hands remained on Rainy’s head, fiddling with her small curls.

“I like it. Rainy really likes it.” Rainy touched her own hair as well and then firmly nodded her head. After that, she shook Xia Ruoxin’s hand. “Mommy, let’s go home.” She rubbed her eyes. It seemed like she was a little tired.

“Alright, Mommy’s bringing you home.” Xia Ruoxin stood up and carried her daughter. Rainy leaned against Xia Ruoxin’s shoulder and bit on her thumb.

“Mommy, that daddy, will he be afraid if he’s left alone when he’s sick? Rainy will.”

“He has his parents with him as well. He won’t be scared.” Xia Ruoxin gently placed her hand on her daughter’s small back, replying to her daughter’s innocent, guileless questions in the same way. At times, her replies contained the most truthful words.

Who wouldn’t be afraid in the hospital? However, that man-she was certain that he wouldn’t be scared. She didn’t even know whether the word ‘fear’ existed in that man’s dictionary.

Her eyes looked forward. For some unknown reason, when she saw Chu Lui dragging his injured leg as he walked towards his car, her heart felt an inexplicable sense of sadness. She didn’t know if it was because of him or because of herself.

She carried her daughter all the way home, and just as she was about to pull open the door, somebody opened it from the inside. Gao Yi’s figure appeared in front of her, blocking all the light before her eyes.

“She’s asleep.” Gao Yi simply carried Rainy into his embrace and walked back into the house. There were several new curls on Rainy’s hair, but he wasn’t surprised in any way.

“Gao Yi, sorry. You must be hungry. I’ll go make some food for you.” Xia Ruoxin looked at the time, only realizing then that she had lost track of time. He must have waited for a long time already.

“No rush, I’m not hungry” Gao Yi shook his head. He placed Rainy onto her bed first and pulled the covers over her body.

“Ruoxin...” He turned around and called out Xia Ruoxin’s name, only to find out that Xia Ruoxin had already headed into the kitchen. His fingers gently touched the curls on Rainy’s hair as he let out a faint sigh.

Ruoxin, what I want is a woman who loves me, not a woman who makes food for me. Do you understand?

He stood up and headed out of the room. Rainy flipped over her body, habitually reaching out her hands to feel around the bed. Her hands eventually touched something soft, and she took that object into her embrace before sleeping soundly. The object in her arms was her doll.

Gao Yi walked to the kitchen door and leaned against it. He attentively watched over Xia Ruoxin who bustled about the kitchen the entire time. “I saw the both of you.” His voice was extremely calm. However, it made Xia Ruoxin’s hand tremble, and at that moment where she hadn’t held the knife properly, she ended up cutting her hand.

Gao Yi quickly approached her. He took her finger over and placed it between his lips.

“Gao Yi. I’m sorry. It’s not what you think it is.” Xia Ruoxin frantically shook her head. She could feel the warmth of Gao Yi’s lips clearly through her finger. It was just that in the spur of the moment, her heart had already frozen up. It was clearly a heartwarming action and a loving moment, and yet she only felt somewhat embarrassed.

“I didn’t think much about it.” He let go of Xia Ruoxin’s finger and dragged her out of the kitchen. Then, he took out a first-aid kit from on top of the shelf and carefully treated the wound on Xia Ruoxin’s hand.

“What are you so nervous about, Ruoxin?” Gao Yi’s hands gently caressed Xia Ruoxin’s face. The warmth within his fingers made it very hard for him to put his hands down. Perhaps, he loved and cared for this woman a lot more than he imagined.

But what about her? Did she really love him?

He didn’t want to let her go. Neither could he bare to do so. Today, when he saw her walking with that man, he finally understood that there was a feeling called ‘jealousy’. It was also the first time that he realized that this kind of emotion... it was really detestable.

Xia Ruoxin reached out her hand and placed it over his hand. Her eyes were filled with his tender expression. When suddenly, an immense sense of guilt washed over her. Recently, she had been troubled by another man, and similarly, he must have been troubled by her.

“Gao Yi, there’s really nothing between us. It was just that Du Jingtang ruined Rainy’s hair today, and she wouldn’t stop crying. So in the end, he gave me a call; and it was only after I headed over that I realized he had called Chu Lui over as well.

“In the end, Chu Lui found a person—the person who curled Rainy’s hair. Believe me, Gao Yi. Nothing’s ever going to happen between us again. Even if there were no more grudges or hatred between us, it would still be impossible for us to get back together.”

Four years ago, they weren’t together. Four years later, it was still going to stay the same. Many things—after passing-remained in the past.

Gao Yi’s lips slightly curved upwards. He reached out his hands and pulled Xia Ruoxin into an embrace, resting his head on top of hers. “Ruoxin, let’s get married. Let’s give Rainy a family, alright? She should need a family by now.”

He gently sighed. Although his voice still sounded composed, it was not hard to notice the anticipation in his voice. He wanted to do something for himself; he didn’t want to lose. It wasn’t because of any other reason; he just really loved this woman. He fell in love with this clearly fragile yet extremely determined woman since the first time they met.

Right now, he really didn’t want to let her go anymore.

Xia Ruoxin leaned her head against his chest, her eyes slightly getting clouded.

“Okay.” She could hear her own voice sounding a little weak. However, she still agreed. Rainy needed a father, and she also needed a family. Gao Yi— this person-he was

it.

Perhaps, they were already married from the start. Didn’t she already make this promise with him?

However, why was it that when she said ‘okay’, she actually felt an urge to cry. Whether this was happiness or sadness—she already didn’t care to find out. So be it, she wanted a family and a stable life. This sort of lifestyle, she knew that this man was definitely able to give it to her.

Marrying him would be a woman’s happiness because he treated her well-really well. So well that she didn’t want to and wasn’t willing to reject him.

“Let’s go back to England. My family’s there; I believe that you’ll like them. Let’s leave this place.” Gao Yi hugged her a little more tightly in his arms. She had clearly agreed, but why did he still feel this deep sense of sorrow in his heart?

“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin nodded her head again.
