Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Breaking and entering was a rather serious offense here. One would be sentenced two years in jail. Besides, since the man was caught red-handed, he would not even have the opportunity for appeal.

In his statement, the man insisted that he had just chosen a nice-looking house in the hopes of getting quick cash. He claimed that he was a homeless man after money, but this house was not as well-off as he had hoped, leaving him with nothing.

Since he did not take anything, it did not count as burglary.

Despite that, he did break and enter someone else's home. So he was destined to get some jail time.

However, Xia Ruoxin did not buy the man's words. She was sure that he was lying. Even though she could not see everything that the man had done since he entered the building, she felt that he was looking for someone, not something

If he were looking for valuables, he should have gone through all the drawers and go through all the rooms, but he did not. He must have been looking for something much bigger, much more obvious-people.

He was looking for someone. As for his motive, he himself knew that it was not a simple case of burglary. It was a bit of a stretch to call it burglary, given that he did not steal anything.

It was the first time Xia Ruoxin had seen this man. It was a Caucasian man with a beard. The minute he saw her, his gaze turned dark, which made Xia Ruoxin uncomfortable. She could feel that the man knew her despite his claims. She was sure that she did not know the man nor had she seen him before. He was very eye-catching: his skin was sickly pale, and he had a beard. He was the kind of man that would stick out in a crowd. If she had seen him before, she would remember the face and the man; but she had no impression of him at all.

In the end, the police did not manage to get anything out of the man. He was sentenced to two years for breaking and entering.

Xia Ruoxin had never really dealt with the police. She was a law-abiding citizen, no matter at home or abroad. However, things felt different this time.

The Caucasian man seemed to be targeting her.

She first changed the locks before adding another anti-burglary one that came with a siren. If anyone tried to force it open, the alarm would wake everyone in the neighborhood up.

However, she still felt insecure. After sunset, she would cover the doors with cabinets and keep all the windows shut, but she still felt scared.

"Mommy, Rainy is sleepy." The little girl rubbed her eyes as she reached her arms out towards her mother. Xia Ruoxin picked the little girl up, and before long, the latter was fast asleep. As an innocent young child, she had no idea that the two of them nearly lost their lives the other night.

Xia Ruoxin wiped the child's face and limbs with a towel before tucking the latter into bed, but she herself could not fall asleep.

The terror from last night was lodged in her chest.

She tried to pour herself a glass of milk to ease into sleep, but they only had Rainy's milk powder at home. She could only use some of her daughter's milk powder to make herself some milk.

She set the cup on the computer table before she pulled her phone out to give Gao Yi a call, but her call did not go through.

She picked the cup up and took a sip. It tasted a little strange, but it was not bad.

Turning on her laptop, she saw that 'A Sunny Day will Come' was there. She chatted with him intermittently. With him, she was less afraid. Or else, she would be all alone.

A Sunny Day will Come, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Summer's Not Over, "I can't fall asleep."

A Sunny Day will Come, "Is something on your mind?"

Xia Ruoxin took another sip of the milk powder. She leaned back in her chair and replied, "No."

She sipped on her milk as she sat before her laptop, still wide awake. It was almost 2 AM, but 'A Sunny Day will Come' was still online.

Summer's Not Over, "You're here late today."

A Sunny Day will come, "You, too."

"Thank you, kind sir, that I've never met." Xia Ruoxin smiled

She bid goodbye to 'A Sunny Day will Come', finally a little groggy. She was not as afraid as before. She lay down, thoughts filling her mind.

She had to get to the bottom of things with regard to Gao Yi.

Turning around, she sighed as she slipped into sleep. It was a quiet night, and she slept well.

Over in a different nation, it was already snowing. Chu Lui turned the glass in his hand as he leaned back into the balcony. Loneliness filled his heart with coldness, not unlike the cold winter air.

He lowered his head and smiled to himself. It was probably going to be another sleepless night tonight.

"Thank you for the trouble." Xia Ruoxin patted her daughter on the head as she let go of the child's hand. "Rainy, Mommy has something to do so can you sleep with Little Amy tonight?"

"Okay." Rainy nodded obediently. Her mid-length hair was silky smooth, like silk.

"Don't worry, Ruo, I'll take good care of your little princess." Madam Mei Fu picked up the two children with both her arms. Their weight felt like nothing to her. Looking at the woman's well-endowed chest, Xia Ruoxin looked down at her own chest. Even if she had a few more children, it would not change the fact that she was flat-chested.

"Thank you." She thanked Madam Mei Fu. Glancing at the clock, it was time for her to leave.

"Bye, Mommy." Rainy waved goodbye to her mother.

"Bye." Xia Ruoxin waved to her daughter before she turned and left.
