Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities - Chapter 583

Chapter 583: Mommy, I’m Back

“Sister-in-law, um…” It was not wrong to call her that, right? He placed his hand on his head and smiled, revealing his sparkling white teeth. “Hi, Sister-in-law! I’m Gao Xin, Gao Yi’s younger brother. Real brother. I’m nineteen this year, currently studying at a university, but I’ll be graduating soon. My dream is to be an explorer,” chirped Gao Xin. However, judging from the current situation, it was only just a dream. His mother did not allow it; neither did his brother so it could only be a dream that would not be realized.

Xia Ruoxin laughed in embarrassment as she and Gao Yi were not legitimately husband and wife. Hearing ‘sister-in-law’ made her feel a little shy.

“Big brother, let’s go home. If they know that you have returned, they would be super happy.” He looked at the child in Gao Yi’s hands. Actually, he could roughly guess that the child was not his because Big Brother had only left home for around 3 years. There was no way that he could have a child this big. However, it was okay. As long as Big brother liked it, he and his mother would definitely support him.

Just that, he scratched his own clothes. What would the other two think? It did not seem like they would agree.

“Ruoxin, let’s go.” Gao Yi pulled Xia Ruoxin’s hand. He knew that she would be very nervous now so he tried to talk more to distract her.

“He’s my younger brother. Back then when I left home, he was only this tall,” Gao Yi said as he pointed at his shoulder to show Gao Xin’s old height. “Now, he’s as tall as me.” Gao Yi’s words made Gao Xin beam with pride. Look, this was the result of time. Last time, his brother used to say that he was short so he could only play soccer, but now he could even play basketball.

Even though Gao Yi’s words sounded like he was mocking Gao Xin, anyone could tell that he really loved his brother, which made Xia Ruoxin envious. Since young, she was always the one who got bullied; she never knew how having a real sibling to be ‘there for you’ felt like. Xia Yixuan did call her sister, but she merely thought of her as someone to accompany her to play and study and also a real-life bullying target. However, between the brothers of the Gao family, their naturally-close relationship led Xia Ruoxin to understand that this was truly what real blood relations meant. They were real family members.

Rainy rubbed her eyes and said in a soft voice, “Daddy…” Her voice led Gao Yi to stop in his tracks, and he carried Rainy—removing her hands from her eyes—and saw that she had already woken up. He already guessed that it was about time for her to wake up.

Rainy looked up and surveyed her surroundings. There were so many people around with blond hair or red hair. There was no one with black hair. She looked at other people’s eyes more carefully; their eyes looked like those of dolls.

While she was still looking on curiously, she found herself in a stranger’s embrace.

“Wow, so cute!” Gao Xin exclaimed as he touched Rainy’s cute cheeks. She was really cute; he had not seen such a cute child yet. She was really small and soft like a pau, a beauty from the east.

Rainy opened her eyes wide and weirdly bit on her finger. She looked at Gao Yi and then looked at the Gao Xin carrying her.

“Why are there two Daddies?” asked Rainy weirdly as she pouted her lips. Was Rainy having a dream?

Gao Xin pinched Rainy’s small face and said, “I’m not your father; I’m your uncle.” She was really too precious; he did not want to let go.

“Big brother, why don’t you drive?” said Gao Xin as he threw his keys to Gao Yi while he himself carried on playing with Rainy. However, he suddenly thought of something and walked towards Gao Yi to whisper softly,

“Big brother, she’s there. What should we do?” asked Gao Xin who sounded like he was in a difficult position. When they return home, they would definitely see her. It would be really terrible if two women meet each other.

“I’ll settle it.” Gao Yi’s body tensed up, and the warmth on his face and gaze suddenly turned cold, but Ruoxin did not understand what on earth they were talking about. What happened to him? She felt that until now, there was something amiss; but she could not really pinpoint what exactly was wrong.

“Let’s go, don’t worry. I’m here. You just need to trust me,” Gao Yi said as he turned around and held Xia Ruoxin’s shoulders to comfort her, but he just realized that there was actually a lot of stuff that he had not told her about.

All she needed to do was to really trust him.

“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin smiled. She did not ask and did not probe because she trusted him. She followed him into the car while Gao Xin continued playing with Rainy’s chubby cheeks happily, and Rainy also sat there obediently without struggling.

The car stopped at a house with a wide yard. Actually, the manor was not small at all. There were many planted wallflowers of different colors, and the air had a tinge scent of flowers. Sometimes, it was dense while at other times, it was faint. It was as though they stepped into a flowery world and a flower ocean. Amongst the beautiful scent, there was an underlying danger. One touch, and one would be wounded.

Gao Yi got off the car. Before him was his home that he had not returned to for three years, but he had never forgotten anything about the place.

This was his home.

He held Xia Ruoxin’s hand in one hand, and Rainy’s in the other, before walking inside.

At the same time—in the living room, a pair of middle-aged couple kept looking on to the outside. The man’s face looked really stern while the woman looked anxious. Beside them, a young woman stood there. She looked up, and it seemed as though her eyelashes were hiding something while both of her hands were clasped firmly together. She kept squeezing them tightly.

“Yi…” yelled the woman suddenly. Her greedy eyes landed on Gao Yi that just walked into the room, but when she saw the woman beside Gao Yi, her eyes immediately widened. Her face started to pale.

Gao Yi walked in, and once he saw the young woman, his eyebrows furrowed. His vision then landed on the middle-aged man, and after a short pause, he did not show much of his emotions until his gaze met with a familiar, kind, and emotional one. Only then did he smile.

“Mom, I’m back.”

“You still know how to come back?” boomed the middle-aged man. It seemed like he did not really want to see Gao Yi, but his mother obviously looked like she could not hold it back anymore.

“Xiao Yi, you’re really back?” asked his mother as she stood up and ran towards her son that had left home for three years. No matter how old he was, he was still her son.

Gao Yi let go of Xia Ruoxin’s hands and hugged his mother while Rainy was scared so she hid behind her mother and hugged her leg. At this moment, Xia Ruoxin had a heavy and conflicted heart. She thought that Gao Yi was just an ordinary doctor, but it turned out that she was wrong. Gao Yi had the same status as Chu Lui, one that was not the norm. She did not feel inferior; just that she did not want to get involved with such a family anymore. This kind of places would always be filled with countless manipulations and the lack of kindness.
