Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 600 - This was Endurance



Chapter 600 This was Endurance

The sound of the door opening made Xia Ruoxin’s body flinch. Then, another sound and those familiar footsteps resonated by her ear. She didn’t even need to lift her head to know who had arrived.

“Ruoxin, are you afraid of me right now?” he spoke with a somewhat-deriding tone before returning to the Gao Yi he used to be. Xia Ruoxin lifted her head only to see the man smiling gently at her, and the nervous feeling in her heart seemingly started to disperse.

She shook her head, wanting to say that she wasn’t afraid. However, her hands that were clenched together had already long revealed her emotions.

She wasn’t nervous; she was afraid.

“Let’s go.” Gao Yi walked into the room and looked back at the woman sitting on the sofa. There was a ray of light on his face. Then, he turned around, and everything was concealed.

Xia Ruoxin stood up and pressed her lips together slightly before following him into the room. There was another sound of the door closing. It made her feel unsettlingly nervous and even a little flustered.

Gao Yi sat down and simply stared at her. Then, he leaned his body against the headrest of the bed as he watched Xia Ruoxin approach him step by step. It was just that in his eyes, there was a blurred look of regret. Perhaps because the lighting in the room was a little too dim.

Xia Ruoxin lightly let out a sigh, and the hands that were by her side clenched firmly together before letting go. Finally, she was greeted with Gao Yi’s gaze that was sizing her up. If this really was what he wanted, then she would give it to him. Whatever he wanted, she would give it to him. The things she owed him... it was impossible for her to repay him in this lifetime.

She sat down. In the quiet room-at that moment, there was the sound of two people breathing... as one inhaled, another exhaled. Finally, their breaths aligned. Gao Yi straightened his body. Then, he reached out his hand and gently pulled Xia Ruoxin over.

The two of them were now one above the other...

And the distance between them had never been so close before.

However, Xia Ruoxin’s face wasn’t flushed red with embarrassment. Instead, it was pale from bewilderment. Her hands constantly gripped onto the bed sheets below her, and the man’s somewhat-hot breath brushed against her face. She had worked in that sort of place for a long time; however, she still couldn’t get used to being so close with other men. The only man that she had genuine physical contact with was actually Chu Lui. However, the only thing he gave her was those nightmarish memories and recollections.

“Ruoxin...” Gao Yi softly whispered. His fingers gently caressed Xia Ruoxin’s delicate and beautiful face that was contrastingly riddled with horror. He lowered his head and gently kissed her ice-cold lips while his hands on her shoulder moved down and undid her clothes one button at a time.

Xia Ruoxin felt the unusual sensations on her lips. She closed her eyes, her fingers gripping tightly onto the bedsheets below her. Every movement of Gao Yi’s fingers made her body unknowingly tremble before stiffening up.

Gao Yi’s eyes carefully watched Xia Ruoxin’s expressions. He probingly placed his hands on her chest, and her body evidently stiffened up even more. He didn’t know if she was rejecting him or rejecting this sort of affairs.

Xia Ruoxin’s fingers gripped tightly onto the bed sheets. She couldn’t stop him, and she was unable to because he was Gao Yi. Gao Yi who saved Rainy and herself. Gao Yi who gave Rainy and her a home.

If it wasn’t for him, both of them could have already ceased to exist in this world.

Her body suddenly felt lighter, and the sound of the man’s heavy sigh resonated by her ears. She opened her slightly hazy eyes and lowered her head only to realize that merely two of her buttons were undone. Her clothes were still perfectly intact as well. She heaved a sigh of relief and realized at that moment that her back had already been soaked with perspiration.

She sat up, placed her fingers on top of her collar, and buttoned her shirt in a somewhat flustered state. She didn’t understand why. Why did he suddenly stop?

“What... what’s wrong...?” Her trembling voice asked. The complex look in Gao Yi’s eyes was something that she could never understand.

“It’s alright, it’s nothing. I just drank a little too much today.” Gao Yi soothingly straightened out Xia Ruoxin’s hair with an apologetic smile on his face, almost as if nothing had happened. However, the smile on his lips was a lot smaller and a lot softer than before.

“I’ll get going. Go keep Rainy company.” He stood up and left the room with big strides, never mentioning the word ‘marriage’ ever again. Perhaps right now, they were avoiding it; and this sort of evasion had become the biggest problem in their relationship.

Gao Yi stood at the entrance. He reached out his hands and scratched his own hair. The dim and unclear lighting shone on his face, making his face seem pale.

He let out another sigh, and the moment he turned around, he was greeted with Bai Zhenfeng’s frozen expression.

“Follow me.” Bai Zhenfeng’s face didn’t have much expression, and his voice didn’t have much emotion as well. Gao Yi simply pressed his lips tightly together and followed behind Bai Zhenfeng.

Bai Zhenfeng’s footsteps were slightly heavy, and with every step, the crease on his forehead deepened. He could clearly hear Gao Yi’s footsteps, every step filled with discipline and stability. This was the difference between the young and old.

He really was old.

He pushed open a door, and inside was a woman’s room. All the decor was resplendent, just like that of a princess’ room. Everything inside was of the best quality and most expensive price. This was also the only femininely decorated room in the Bai Family, and this room naturally belonged to Bai Luoyin.

Gao Yi stood at the door, completely uninterested with everything before his eyes. His thin lips curled up slightly. If Bai Zhenfeng was going to mention that matter again, then there was no need for him to repeat himself. He was not going to marry Bai Luoyin. Three years ago, he didn’t marry her; three years later, it was still going to be the same. Even if there wasn’t Xia Ruoxin in his life, it would still be the same.

“Come in.” Bai Zhenfeng’s voice was filled with command. Gao Yi’s footsteps paused for a moment before following him into the room. He simply stood in the femininely decorated room. The familiar scent of perfume started to make him feel uncomfortable.

At that moment, Bai Luoyin lay on the magnificent and large bed, her expression pale. Even her tender and rosy lips had little color. She cared the most about her appearance. Since young, she would always dress herself up beautifully; and she was very thorough. However, right now, she had seemingly changed. It was not that she was slovenly or unkempt. It was just that she was very different from before.

“Luoyin has become like this. Are you happy now? Are you only going to be satisfied after forcing her to death? Tell me, what’s so good about that woman? How is Luoyin not as good as her? Tell me. Tell me! Even though she had wronged you in the past-after all, you guys still grew up together. You’re a doctor; you treat everybody so kindly. But why are you so cold to Luoyin instead? What heinous crime has she committed?”
