Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 607 - Unchangeable Decision



Chapter 607 Unchangeable Decision

“Gao Xin, is there nobody else living here?” Xia Ruoxin placed Rainy onto the ground and held her small hand, stopping her from wandering around.

“That’s right.” Gao Xin nodded his head. “Just you and Rainy. This house is actually owned by somebody I’m considered close with, one of my classmate’s grandfather. That’s why they rented it out at such a low price to me, but they have a condition.”

“What is it?” Xia Ruoxin was very satisfied with this house. As long as their condition wasn’t too unreasonable… this house, she was definitely renting it.

“Actually, it isn’t anything much.” Gao Xin laughed sneakily. “They just hope that you will love and cherish their house. Do some cleaning on the weekdays and water the plants outside, that’s all.”

“That’s easy, I’ll agree to their condition.” Xia Ruoxin agreed without a second thought. If they moved in, then it was going to become her home. If she didn’t even clean her own house, who was going to be able to live in it? Furthermore, she was never a lazy person in the first place. As for the garden outside, she would take care of it as well. Moreover, there were some empty plots of land with nothing planted on them. Xia Ruoxin decided to wait till after she settled down to buy some vegetable seeds and plant them there. That way, she could save up on vegetable expenses.

As for the inside of the house-perhaps because the landlord had come over to clean it up every few days, there was not much dust inside. Furthermore, Gao Xin said that he had already gotten somebody to clean up the house; therefore, it was even cleaner now, so much so that people could move in at any time.

The house had two floors, and Xia Ruoxin didn’t want to touch the second floor. She simply chose a room for Rainy and herself. Bed, closet… they had everything. There was no need for them to make any other arrangements.

“Gao Xin, how am I supposed to pay the rent?” She took out her wallet from her bag. Was it cash or through their bank account sort of payment?

“This…” Gao Xin smiled. “Sister Ruoxin, about the rent, you don’t have to worry about it. All the rent within this year has been paid for. Next year, the landlord will come over to lengthen the contract.” Of course, that’s if both of you still plan to live here. Of course, he didn’t say out the last sentence. He was convinced that Xia Ruoxin would return to her country one day. After all, this place wasn’t her home.

“That’s not good.” Xia Ruoxin didn’t want to live off of other people’s kindness, especially not Gao Yi’s. She opened her wallet and counted the money inside. Then, she took all of it out and placed it into Gao Xin’s hand.

“This is all that I have. I’ll give you the rest after I withdraw more money.”

“Sister Ruoxin, that’s fine.” Gao Xin wanted to push the money back to her, but he knew that Xia Ruoxin’s character was just as such. She was still not at a stage where she needed to rely on other people’s charitable money to get by. That’s why this money, she had to pay it back. She couldn’t live in this house without paying for it herself.

Gao Xin knew that things would turn out like this, and he could only accept the money. He was afraid that if he didn’t accept it, next time, Xia Ruoxin might not even let him into her house.

Gao Xin stayed for a while longer before going back. He was feeling guilty about something. Actually, Xia Ruoxin might have somewhat understood what it was about.

This house was probably arranged by Gao Yi. That man who wanted to be the villain this one time.

It was just that from the beginning to the end, he was never villainous.

He was a doctor, a doctor who healed the wounded and rescued those on their deathbed. His heart… it could never be cruel.

“Mommy, is this our new home?” Rainy ran over, hugging both of Xia Ruoxin’s legs.

“That’s right, our new home.” Xia Ruoxin bent down and picked her daughter up. Then, she placed her hand on her daughter’s tiny forehead, afraid that the rain yesterday would make her sick.

However, thankfully, she wasn’t feverish. After all a day had passed already; she should probably be fine.

“Rainy, do you like our new home?” Xia Ruoxin carried Rainy and took a look around the entire house. Then, she opened the window; and both of them leaned next to the open window, admiring the view outside. The air there was very refreshing, and there was a faint rosy fragrance to it. This was really a suitable place for people to live in.

“I do.” Rainy firmly nodded her head. What she loved the most was that wide patch of grass outside. However, her small face suddenly darkened.

“Mommy, does Daddy not want Rainy anymore? That’s why we moved out of the house?” She lifted her small face, and her eyes reddened. However, tears didn’t fall from her eyes.

“No.” Xia Ruoxin pressed her daughter’s small face against her chest.

“Didn’t Mommy tell you before? Daddy’s out to earn money. He’ll earn a lot, a lot of money, and buy dolls for Rainy. That’s why it’s not that he doesn’t want Rainy. It’s just that he has gone somewhere far away to work.”

She spoke softly as if she was mumbling to herself. Her faint voice and the cold breeze cause tears to well up in her eyes.

Rainy fluttered her long eyelashes and sniffled. Then, she bit on her small fingers.

“Mommy, Rainy misses Daddy.”

Xia Ruoxin turned her face away, letting the misty tears in her eyes materialize… and then fall. But Rainy, do you know? You don’t have a Daddy anymore.

It was night, and they were sleeping in their new home. For a long time, Xia Ruoxin tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, whereas Rainy had already fallen into a deep sleep. That’s great. She didn’t kick her blankets that often anymore. Perhaps, she really grew up.

Xia Ruoxin turned on the lamp next to the bed and sat up. An unwarranted sense of loneliness densely filled the air, somewhat agonizing and somewhat sad. Suddenly, she stood up and ran into the washroom, turning on the tap. ‘Hua, hua,’ the water flowed down. However, without anybody knowing, Xia Ruoxin stifled her cries.

Actually, she liked him; she really did like him.

Yet, why was it that she always couldn’t get what she liked?

In the future, it would just be Rainy and her depending on each other again. Perhaps, this was fated. She lifted her head. The woman in the mirror had a pale complexion. She laughed as she cried and cried as she laughed. Waves of heartache caused tears to fall from her eyes as well as her heart.

At that moment, Gao Xin sat up. He reached out his hand and took away the bottle of alcohol in Gao Yi’s hand. “Brother, stop drinking.”

“Give it to me.” Gao Yi snatched the bottle back, pouring alcohol into his mouth. “Isn’t this great? Getting drunk solves all woes. It’s just that no matter how much I drink, my woes stay as woes.” The knot was still a knot. It was a knot that couldn’t be untied.

“Brother, why torture yourself?” Gao Xin’s heart really ached for Gao Yi.

“You don’t understand.” Gao Yi poured another round of alcohol into his mouth. However, the prickling burn in his throat made him suddenly start coughing. Nevertheless, as if abusing himself, Gao Yi poured another round of alcohol into his mouth. Yes, Gao Xin didn’t understand; nobody could understand.

“Brother, do you really want to marry Bai Luoyin?” Gao Xin couldn’t help but ask again. “But Bai Luoyin really isn’t suitable for you.”
