Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 620 This Night

Bai Luoyin’s motive... was that she wanted her dead.

The light suddenly went out, and the entire house darkened. What this darkness meant to others, she did not know; but for her now, it meant safety... the safety of hiding in the dark.

She did not know how long she was sitting there for and how long she maintained that posture for, but it was long enough until she was going to break down. She did not dare to move at all and did not dare to breathe loudly. She could only squeeze herself in this corner which was the size of a palm.

The woman outside bathed for a while and did facial at other moments. Her entire table was filled with different kinds of skincare products, and there was also a faint smell of roses. She thought to herself: Bai Luoyin must have taken a petal bath. Bai Luoyin had always loved doing that, and she loved to enjoy. Whatever she ate—whatever she wore, they must be the best.

As for Xia Ruoxin herself, she did not want to bathe in any petal bath or some sort. All she wanted was to have a hot shower, a bowl of hot soup, and another bowl of noodles to eat. Also, a cup of water to drink.

“You’re back,” exclaimed Bai Luoyin in surprise. She went forward to welcome the person.

Xia Ruoxin forced open her tired eyes and peeped through the gap. She could only see a pair of white woman legs, and in front of those was a man’s.

There was a hint of lovey-dovey feeling in the air as though it was the sickening scent of sweetness. She vaguely heard the noise of two people kissing, and she was right. The man carried the woman, and while her voice could be heard, she was not standing on the floor. Then, the image of a man and woman hugging each other could be seen in the mirror at the cupboard.

Xia Ruoxin turned away, and her nose twitched while tears welled up in her eyes.

She knew that they were married. She also knew that it was impossible for a couple to just sleep in the same bed and talk throughout the night. Just that, when this raw image was presented to her-right in front of her face, all her perseverance before turned into a joke instantly.

Not long after, the whole house was filled with the sounds of a man and woman making love.

The man’s panting and the girl’s moans became a song that would make one’s cheeks burn in embarrassment and one’s heart beat furiously. Along with the creaking of the bed from time to time, one could guess how intense it was outside.

Until a very long while later, the sound finally died down and was replaced by the sound of water in the bathroom.

“Yi...” yelled Bai Luoyin, but the man was too tired to even open his eyes.

“Yi...” She called again, but there was still no response from the man. He had fallen asleep -deep sleep.

‘Ka!’ The drawer seemed to be open. Xia Ruoxin carefully stuck her face to the side of the fireplace and watched through the gap. This time, she could see everything that was going on outside. Even though the light was dim, but the woman’s every move was noted by Xia Ruoxin.

The drawer was opened, and Bai Luoyin took out a box of something from the inside.

There was another sound like something had just rung.

Bai Luoyin stopped in her motion, and her gaze landed on the fireplace.

Xia Ruoxin was frightened, and she hurriedly covered her mouth in shock. She did not even dare to breathe.

After looking on for quite some time, she took back her gaze. Perhaps she was thinking too much, or there must be a rat. She would call someone to buy rat poison to kill the rats the next day; they were all disgusting, and they deserved to die.

She took out the syringe and added something into it routinely before jabbing it on Gao Yi’s arms.

Then, she slowly kept the items on the table and placed them back in the drawer. After all that was done, she yawned and lay beside Gao Yi, turning the bed light off in her path. Not long after, the two people’s breathing started to become in unison.

Xia Ruoxin could not believe whatever she had seen until now. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that Bai Luoyin administered drugs on Gao Yi.

That was drugs. Drugs.

Did Bai Luoyin not love Gao Yi? Did she not love him until she could throw her own life away? How could she cause Gao Yi to have a drug addiction? This would ruin him, would take his life. It was a torment he could never walk out of his whole life.

Madam Mei Fu had said that Gao Yi had been addicted to drugs for a month. If so, it would mean that Bai Luoyin started administering drugs since their wedding day.

However, Gao Yi was a doctor; how could he not know that he had a drug addiction?

At this moment, she was frazzled; and her thoughts were in a mess. She really wanted to rush up front and shake the woman awake and question her intention of administering drugs on Gao Yi.

However, in the end, she held it back.

She bit the back of her hand and contained all the noise.

Until the next day, only when the Bai family went for their church service—and there was no one in the household once again—did the door to the fireplace open. Xia Ruoxin climbed out from inside. Her eyes were swollen, face pale; and it seemed as though all her energy had been sucked away from her body. Even a simple lift of her arm would be hard on her at this moment.

She did not leave when they were asleep as she did not dare to. She could not afford to take the risk as she heard that Bai Luoyin was a light sleeper, and if she was caught, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

She used all her effort to stand up and run to the cupboard. She wanted to open the locked drawer, but it would not budge, and the key was with Bai Luoyin.

She let go and carefully walked while holding the wall. After making sure there was no one outside, she crawled out from the hole in the wall. Her whole head was gray and dirty with dust and dirt, and even her hair seemed to be stuck together. She ran all the way home, and after opening and closing the door, she leaned against it and slid down to the floor.

She breathed heavily and cried loudly.

No one knew how she had spent that night. No one knew what that night meant for her. No one knew what exactly happened that night.

She stood up and walked to the toilet. Her reflection in the mirror was pale like a sheet of paper; her eyes were swollen, and her hair was tangled in a mess.

After turning on the tap, she splashed water on her face, in hopes of calming herself down. That was right, she needed to be calm. She must be calm. She extended her hand and turned on the showerhead. She stood under it and opened her eyes. The whole world seemed to be raining in front of her, and yet she was stuck in the rain, unable to walk out.

She walked into the bedroom and unintentionally lay on her bed. She spent that night in dreams; in some, Bai Luoyin became a demon, and in others, Gao Yi became increasingly skinny and became a bag of bones in the end. She had also dreamt that Bai Luoyin held a knife and stabbed her straight in her heart; that scene was bloody and excruciating.

Suddenly, Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes and breathed intensely with her chest going up and down. The new clothes on her body were drenched once again.

She opened her closet again and changed into a new set of clothes. She opened the door and wanted to fetch Rainy back, but on second thought, it was better to leave her at Madam Mei Fu’s.
