Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 587 Chasing Her Away

Xia Ruoxin looked questioningly at Gao Yi. Was Wei Lan going to accept her so easily? Wasn’t it a little too fast?

Gao Yi simply smiled and nodded his head. Wei Lan loved them; therefore, naturally, she respected what they like and liked what they love.

“Thank you, Auntie.” She was still a little embarrassed to call her mother. After all, she had yet to marry Gao Yi; and that word ‘mother’... she hadn’t said it in a very long time. She didn’t really know how to start.

“That’s alright, you can say it next time.” Wei Lan had no intention of forcing her as well. “That’s right.” She looked left and right. “Can I see the child for a while?” That child, she hadn’t gotten a clear look at her the entire time.

“Yes, she’s asleep.” Xia Ruoxin opened the door. Rainy’s small body was shrunk on the sofa, and she was hugging a doll in her small hands. With such exquisite features, the child looked really beautiful, very adorable.

What a pretty child. Wei Lan stood by the door, not wanting to disturb the sleeping child. As expected, she had a good eye-a beautiful pair of mother and daughter, especially that child, absolutely endearing.

“Ruoxin, could you take care of Rainy for a while? My mother and I have some things to discuss.” Gao Yi walked over and placed his hands on both of Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders as he spoke comfortingly. “I’ll be right back, don’t worry.” He pushed Xia Ruoxin’s loose hair behind her ear, and this intimate action made Gao Xin raised his eyebrows. So his boss turned out not to be a piece of wood.

He also had times where he was romantic; it just depended on the person.

For example, towards that woman-Bai Luoyin, he was always scrupulous and methodical. However, with Xia Ruoxin, he was different. This was actually his true personality, right? This was his actual older brother as well. It was just that his brother seemingly hadn’t told Sister Ruoxin that he did-in fact-have a relationship with Bai Luoyin back then.

However, it seemed like it didn’t matter whether he said it or not. After all, it was already something that happened a long time ago.

“Alright,” Xia Ruoxin agreed, “I understand.” She actually understood. Gao Yi hadn’t met his mother and his brother for three years already. He must have had a lot to say to them. She was fine with it. She could take good care of herself and her daughter.

It was only then that Gao Yi felt at ease. Presumably, nobody would dare to mess with her yet. That’s why certain things... he had to discuss them over with his mother first as well. After Gao Yi left, Xia Ruoxin closed the door and walked back to Rainy’s side. She sat on the sofa, and Rainy’s eyelashes fluttered open. Then, she rubbed her eyes.

“Mommy...” She reached out her small hands to let Xia Ruoxin carry her. “Mommy, Rainy’s scared. That Grandpa’s so fierce,” she spoke carefully, hugging the doll in her hands a little tighter.

“It’s alright. Look, Mommy and Dolly are here. Rainy doesn’t have to be scared.” Xia Ruoxin gently stroked her daughter’s hair. At that moment, it was faintly possible to see a small wound on Rainy’s forehead that was left behind from the accident. Rainy had become very timid and easily afraid. Perhaps that was also an aftereffect of the accident.

Just then, somebody knocked on the door. Xia Ruoxin stood up and strangely looked towards the door. Didn’t he just leave? Why did he come back? Had he forgotten to take something?

She hastily walked forward and opened the door.

The door opened, and the person who stood in the entrance made Xia Ruoxin instinctively pause for a moment. It wasn’t Gao Yi, and it wasn’t a person: it was two people.

Bai Zhenfeng, Gao Yi’s adoptive father, and Bai Luoyin, the fiancé that Gao Yi had never acknowledged. At the same time, she was also Bai Zhenfeng’s biological daughter. They both had the family name ‘Bai’ while Gao Yi’s family name had always been ‘Gao’.

“You’re Xia Ruoxin?” Bai Zhenfeng coldly asked. As expected of the master of this house, even his tone was habitually commanding. Bai Luoyin held Bai Zhenfeng’s arms as she sized Xia Ruoxin up in disdain. This woman who came from who-knows-where, she refused to believe that that child was Gao Yi’s.

Xia Ruoxin lightly nodded her head.

“Yes, that’s me, Uncle. My name is Xia Ruoxin.” She tried her best to smile. After all, he was Gao Yi’s adoptive father as well as an elder. She didn’t want to create trouble for Gao Yi.

“Who said that you could call me ‘Uncle’?” Bai Zhenfeng scornfully interrupted Xia Ruoxin. The more he looked at her, the more he found her to be an eyesore... just like that man who stole the woman he loved. This time, however, Xia Ruoxin was stealing Bai Luoyin’s husband, his adoptive son, as well as his son-in-law away.

Bai Luoyin started to look more pleased with herself. Everything in this house was Bai Zhenfeng’s, and of course, hers as well-of course, Gao Yi included.

Xia Ruoxin was slightly stunned; however, she remained to have a faint smile. “Mr. Bai, nice to meet you.” If he didn’t want her to call him ‘Uncle’, then so be it. These shafts of ridicule—as compared to her years in the Xia household and to the Chu family back thenreally, it was a lot better.

Her heart had already been forced to be valiant.

A small hand hugged onto her legs, and she lowered her head to see Rainy standing barefoot behind her. Rainy’s tiny hands tightly hugged onto Xia Ruoxin’s legs as her large eyes stared at the two people in front of her.

She had to protect Mommy; she couldn’t let them bully Mommy.

“This child is Gao Yi’s?” Bai Zhenfeng lowered his head to look at Rainy, his brows furrowing tighter together. Even if she was, there was no way she was going to enter their household. He wasn’t going to do his daughter such injustice, and of course, he also didn’t want a granddaughter of a different surname.

Xia Ruoxin carefully protected Rainy, afraid that he would scare her daughter who had become timider after the accident. She shook her head, not planning to hide anything from them.

“She’s not. She’s my daughter. She’s three and a half this year, and she isn’t Gao Yi’s daughter.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenfeng’s facial expression instantly crumbled. So Gao Yi had fallen in love with a married woman who even gave birth to a bastard’s child.

“How much do we need to pay for you to leave Gao Yi? Say a price. As long as it isn’t too unreasonable, we’ll be able to satisfy you.” Bai Zhenfeng sat down, his tone filled with a strong sense of disdain. According to his understanding, regardless of how such a woman managed to acquaint herself with Gao Yi, wasn’t it just for money? As long as she could name the price, he was willing to agree to it. Their Bai family had nothing except wealth.

A look of hurt flashed across Xia Ruoxin’s face.

She picked up Rainy and pressed her daughter’s tiny head against her chest. “Sorry, Mr. Bai. My relationship with Gao Yi has nothing to do with that.” If she wanted money-back then, she wouldn’t have rejected her half of Chu Lui’s assets that were given to her.

It was important to know that half of Chu Lui’s assets could make her the world’s richest lady. As for the Bai family, they were actually only upper-middle-class. When she got together with Gao Yi, he was just an ordinary doctor; and she had never known that he had such a family background. Therefore, everything had nothing to do with money.
