Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Outside the walls of the Bai family yard, Xia Ruoxin carefully walked to a corner and bent down. She pushed away the grass, and just as she had expected, she cleared the way to a small hole that could fit a person. This hole was found by her and Rainy when they were playing last time. She was afraid that someone had found the hole, but by the looks of it, she was in luck.

She crawled through the hole and into the yard. Her heart was beating wildly as if it was going to jump out of her chest.

She had never done such a thing in her entire life. She had always been upright, but now, she was exactly like a thief.

She had lived in this Bai family for a few months; even though she did not know every corner of the house at the back of her hand, there were certain things that she still knew. One-for example-is that everyone in the Bai family would go to the nearby church for service today, and when they return, the sun would have already set. She surveyed her surroundings carefully before running forward. This Bai family household was not considered big, and there were not many people. The houses were small, and the most important thing was… they did not own dogs because Bai Luoyin was allergic to that kind of furry animals.

Therefore, the Bai family did not own any dogs or cats.

After opening the door, Xia Ruoxin walked in. This was Gao Yi's room, and based on Bai Luoyin's character-after they had gotten married, this would definitely be their bridal room. Of course, she was not wrong. Bai Luoyin had a possessive obsession over Gao Yi. She would never have given up on Gao Yi's person or the room he had lived in before.

On the wall, there was a large portrait of a wedding photo: it was Bai Luoyin and Gao Yi's. The man was handsome and gentlemanly while the girl was elegant and cute. Based on their looks alone, they did look like they were a couple made from heaven, even childhood lovers.

Involuntarily, Xia Ruoxin felt a pang in her heart. This man once said he would marry her and live with her for the rest of his life, but in the end, he broke his promise. Now, another woman was standing next to him. It was no longer her, and yet she did not even have the right to blame him.

e started flipping the things randomly. If Gao Yi was really taking drugs, there must be evidence here. The safest place to hide it would be in his own bedroom.

Just that, she searched for so long; but she still could not find it until she touched a drawer. However, the drawer was locked.

She did not give up and tried several times… unless she destroyed the cupboard. If not, she could only look at it helplessly.

Her gut feeling told her that whatever she was looking for would be inside.

Suddenly, a car honk sound came from the outside; and Xia Ruoxin stood up. She carefully pulled open the curtain and peeked outside; someone was coming back.

In her nervous state, she broke into a cold sweat.

What should she do? It was too late to get out of the room.

She turned back and examined the room, and her gaze finally stopped at the closed fireplace at the corner of the room.

She thought for a moment.

She took the chance before anyone else came in and ran to the fireplace and opened it. The fireplace was cleaned nicely and was just nice big enough to fit her. This fireplace was empty in the middle and was found by her and Rainy when they were playing hide and seek. As winter was already over, there was no use of the fireplace anymore so the inside of it was spick and span; and generally, no one would even look over.

Carefully, she squeezed her body into the fireplace and closed the door. Thankfully, it was big enough for her, and it was not too uncomfortable as well. She could breathe through the vent and could even see the outside clearly from a small gap in the fireplace.

At first, it was nerve-racking for her, waiting for the people outside to come in. However, after a long time, no one came in; and the sky was already getting dark outside. Xia Ruoxin started to relax, and the next time she opened her eyes, she shocked herself. She actually fell asleep.

The door outside banged opened, and there came the sound from high heels.

Xia Ruoxin hurriedly covered her mouth and was still relatively calm. Perhaps it was because she was scared too many times that night so she actually could not be much scared any longer.

Through the hole in the fireplace cabinet, she could vaguely see a woman walking around until she sat down. The woman's voice reverberated in Xia Ruoxin's ears.

"You guys are so useless; you can't even handle a woman.

"Don't say such rubbish. Make sure that man's mouth is shut tight.

"Recently, don't even talk about 'recently'." Bai Luoyin flared up, "Do you not know that the security within the city has toughened up? If you guys get caught, are you thinking of ratting me out?"

Useless. Bai Luoyin threw her phone aside, and it just nice landed at the fireplace. Xia Ruoxin's heart skipped a beat, and she burst into a cold sweat once again.

Then, the feet wearing heels came over. A hand came down and picked the phone up from the floor.

"Xia Ruoxin!"

Suddenly, this sentence made all the goosebumps stand on Xia Ruoxin's body. She became stiff and did not dare to move. She did not know what to do. Bai Luoyin had found her; she must have found her.

What was she going to do? Would she go to jail?

After all, a few days ago, the man who got caught red-handed for trespassing into her house was sentenced to jail for two years. If the same thing happened to her, she would have to face a jail term, too. It would be fine if she was alone, but Rainy… what about Rainy? Would she be sent to an orphanage? No, she shook her head.

She covered her mouth tightly, closer… closer…

She turned away and shut her eyes tightly. However, after a long time, her line of sight had changed; but the fireplace remained closed. The next time she opened her eyes, her clothes were already wet; and she was panting for air.

The pair of legs were no longer in front of her, and on the couch nearby, she could see Bai Luoyin playing on her spoiled phone, laughing coldly to herself.

"Xia Ruoxin, we'll wait and see. Count yourself lucky this time, but you won't get this kind of luck again. I want you and your daughter to drop to the bottom of the ocean and feed the fish."

Xia Ruoxin held her hand tightly and heaved a sigh of relief. She shut her eyes, and her heart had almost gotten a heart attack.

As for why Bai Luoyin suddenly shouted her name, perhaps she was furious with her.

That should be right. Her face darkened and hid her forehead between her knees. That man should have been sent by Bai Luoyin. She knew it; there would not be such a coincidence. The man who broke into her house at midnight could not have wanted to leave without finding a single penny. Turns out, his motive was really not for money.
