Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 594 Do You Love Me?

“If you really love him, then you shouldn’t be affecting his future. He isn’t suited to be a doctor; he’s the heir to our Bai family. Since young, he has gotten that sort of education. If he’s with you, it’ll only cause harm to him. It’ll cause him to lose everything. Mrs. Bai, do you understand what you’re doing?”

Bai Zhenfeng said everything in one breath. When he was young, he was a considerably formidable figure in the market. Even up to now, everything in the Bai family was in his hands. As long as he didn’t let go, everything in this family was up to him.

Xia Ruoxin pressed her lips together slightly. Money again. What would she want their Bai family’s money for? She had already said it several times. What she wanted wasn’t any of that.

She lifted her face, her voice light yet dignified.

“Mr. Bai, Gao Yi had once saved my daughter; and actually, that saved me as well. I don’t know what he needs. I just know that I won’t leave him because of any reason. This was my promise to him. As for everything that you have just said...

“If that was truly what Gao Yi wanted, would he have left this house three years ago? Has it ever crossed your mind to think about if he really wants to accede the Bai family? Instead of other things?” Xia Ruoxin’s voice became colder as she spoke. Although she wasn’t smart, it didn’t mean that she was an idiot. His words, perhaps for other people, would touch a sore spot and make them scared, worried... even guilt-ridden.

As for whether he would really lose everything or not, they actually clearly understood that the problem between Gao Yi and Bai Luoyin was not her; and neither was it because she had entered the picture. Instead, it was because Gao Yi’s heart was not with Bai Luoyin and also because nobody liked forced marriages.

Bai Zhenfeng’s face instantly turned blue upon hearing her words. She did, in fact, bring up the most important point. If Gao Yi really cared about all these, then would he have left back then? Furthermore, he only came back three years after he left. That adoptive child... although he didn’t really care about him, how could he not understand that ‘it’s better to die in glory than live in dishonor’ type of personality?

“You...”

“Are you done talking?” Bai Zhenfeng was just about to say something when a colder voice interrupted him.

Gao Yi stood at the entrance and then pulled opened the door, not knowing how much of the conversation he had heard. Maybe he had heard everything he wanted to hear and everything he didn’t want to hear.

“What kind of attitude is that? Although I’m not your father, I’m still the person who raised you.” Upon seeing Gao Yi, Bai Zhenfeng’s facial expression became nastier. Just thinking about how he had heard everything that he just said, he felt like somebody had just seemingly slapped him in the face.

“What kind of attitude do you want me to have?” Gao Yi walked in and stood next to Xia Ruoxin. Then, he reached out his hands and encircled it around Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders; whereas when facing Bai Zhenfeng, he was aloof.

“You did raise me. I acknowledge that. However, the things that I have done over these years, the things that my mom has done for you... our lives and my mom’s youth; they had long repaid you for your fostering. As for your assets, you can give it to whoever you want. I have never thought about taking them, and neither have I ever thought of selling myself to Bai Luoyin. Did you really think that I was so sly? That for your assets, I would become your daughter’s plus one?”

Bai Zhenfeng’s voice seemed like it was stuck. He didn’t even know how to make a sound. He didn’t mean things that way. He just wanted to give his daughter a good life; was he so wrong for wanting that?

“I understand what you mean.” Gao Yi understood what Bai Zhenfeng wanted to say; however, there was no need for him to say it anymore. “Can you leave now, Mr. Bai?” His words ‘Mr. Bai’ were filled with countless sarcastic undertones. “My daughter’s asleep; could you please leave?”

“Gao Yi, are you crazy? That child isn’t even yours.” Bai Zhenfeng could barely even believe what he had just heard. Did he really want that child to be his daughter?

“Yes.” Gao Yi admitted. “In the future, Rainy will become my daughter; and I will treat her like my own. Not as a pawn or a tool.”

His voice suddenly turned chilly, and Bai Zhenfeng’s body inevitably wobbled. Bai Zhenfeng walked out of the place, refusing to acknowledge that Gao Yi had really said the truth-deep down in his heart—which he had been unwilling to admit.

The door closed in front of him, and Gao Yi’s hand that was on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulder never let go.

“Ruoxin, this isn’t the first time he’s come to see you, is it?” He suddenly lowered his head and looked seriously at Xia Ruoxin’s face. The distance between them was very close, so close that Xia Ruoxin could clearly feel his breath.

Every breath he took in and let out, she could feel it all on her skin.

Xia Ruoxin instinctively turned her face away, but when her eyes met with Gao Yi’s dark pupils, she stopped herself.

“Ruoxin, you haven’t answered my question. Is this not the first time?” His voice was extremely low, seemingly filled with repression.

Xia Ruoxin’s red lips moved slightly, and then she nodded her head. It was indeed not the first time.

“Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you let me know?” His hands that were on Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders moved down to her waist. Then, he forcefully pulled her close to him. He had always been gentle, but this time, he had seemingly become another person-cold and angry.

“I just didn’t want to burden you.” Xia Ruoxin unacquaintedly moved her body slightly.

“I have never treated you as a burden.” A look of disappointment quickly flashed across Gao Yi’s eyes. She wasn’t a burden to him—she never was. He had always wanted to give her the best because she had already suffered enough. Yet, why was she so distrusting of him?

“Ruoxin, have I never said that I love you?” He suddenly stuck closer to her. The two of them could see each other in the other person’s eyes—his complexity and her disorientation.

“Gao...” Before she finished speaking, she felt that the face in front of her had instantly enlarged. Then, her lips were forcefully sealed with a kiss. She had yet to regain her senses; she simply felt a sense of pain travel out from her lips, followed by the taste of blood.

Her eyes faintly became empty, and she didn’t struggle at all. For the first time, Gao Yi treated her so roughly, and for the first time, he wanted to strive for something.

“Ruoxin, do you love me?” Gao Yi moved away from her lips and used his fingers to gently wipe away the blood on them. “Ruoxin, if I really love you, your everything, and your past; will you love me?”

He gently pecked her lips, making Xia Ruoxin’s face finally regain some spirit. However, she had also missed the look of pain which flashed across Gao Yi’s eyes.
