Chapter 596 - Unable to Understand Her Happiness (1/2)

”Luoyin, you can be at ease. In the future, everything in the Bai family will be yours. There won't be anything that you cannot do and any man you cannot get. Why insist on this man who doesn't love you?”

Bai Zhenfeng's every word was filled with reason and facts. However, in the face of Bai Luoyin, they were of no value. She didn't want those family assets; all she wanted was Gao Yi. Once people decided on something, nothing else in the world could really be compared to the craving and longing that they felt in their hearts.

The best things were the ones a person could not get. Perhaps, after getting them, one might not cherish them as much as before; but the problem was that she hadn't even managed to get what she wanted.

She lifted her head to look at Bai Zhenfeng; he looked apologetic and worried. He always said that everything was for her happiness, but did he even know what she actually wanted?

At that moment, her heart only felt heavy and enraged. It was all that woman—it was all that Xia Ruoxin's fault. Originally, their lives had always been perfect; but ever since that woman appeared, everything changed. Now the person that Gao Yi, Gao Xin, and Wei Lan liked was her. Even her father… wasn't he tacitly consenting to the situation as well?

Then, what about her? Had they ever thought about what was going to happen to her? How was she supposed to go out and meet people in the future? How was she going to lift her head high in front of others?

She clenched her hands tightly together. She wasn't going to give up—she definitely wasn't. She wasn't going to give Gao Yi to others as well. Even if she had to be unscrupulous, she still wasn't going to hand Gao Yi to anyone.

…

The intermittent sound of the rain could faintly be heard from outside, and within the weather, there was a dash of dreariness.

Xia Ruoxin stood in front of the window, watching the rain outside. In fact, the rain was the same everywhere. However, the rain here seemed a little colder. Xia Ruoxin pulled her clothes tightly over herself while her fingers gently touched her lips.

With just a light touch, her lips would hurt. She didn't know if the pain was from her body or her heart.

”Gao Yi,” she mumbled to herself. She seemingly hadn't seen him in a long time already. Was it because he was really busy? Or was he avoiding her because of that incident? She lifted her head. The rain outside seemingly managed to wet even the inside of her eyes, making them sting slightly.

That feeling of guilt made her unable to smile at all. Had she hurt that man? Was it because she didn't reply to his question? She stood up and placed her fingers on the ice-cold glass in front of her. Alright, if he wanted love, then she was going to love him. She was going to work hard—she was going to try her best to do it.

It was not that she had no love in her. It was just that her heart was really empty. It was practically impossible for her to find the feeling of love. She moved her fingers down and placed them on her chest. It was beating and warm as well. She really wanted to be with him; she wasn't forcing herself, not at all.

It was only after a really long time that she finally put down her hands. However, just then, she realized that the little fella had been overly quiet today. She hadn't come out to look for her to play even after such a long time. Could she be asleep?

She turned around, calling out her daughter's name again. However, the surprising thing was that the little fella still didn't come out. In the past—at times like these, her tiny legs would run faster than anyone else.

”Rainy, stop playing with Mommy. Come out quickly; otherwise, Mommy will get angry.” Her eyebrows gently knitted together. This child… recently, she had become quieter while the little fella had seemingly become livelier.
