Chapter 648 - Hello, Mr. Bai (1/2)

People's adaptability was pretty scary as one would never know the extent of which they could persevere.

Inside the house, there was only Xia Ruoxin left. At that moment, she felt unspeakable loneliness which made her sigh.

When she was going to return to her room, she heard the door outside slam shut.

Did Wei Lan come back?

”Aunt…”

Before she could even finish her sentence and started smiling, she was stunned and became as stiff as a statue when she saw who walked in.

”You're… you're back. Right, are you hungry? I'll make something for you to eat,” she said everything in a hurry, but she was bent on heading to the kitchen.

”It's okay,” Gao Yi said lightly before walking quickly past her while Xia Ruoxin still stood there, motionless. The corner of Gao Yi's clothes swept past her, but he still walked past without saying anything.

What was wrong with them?

Xia Ruoxin was a bit upset, but she did not know how to get rid of that feeling.

Between her and Gao Yi, the distance between them had grown to an uncrossable size when she left the Bai family.

It was the same a few days after that; both of them still did not speak much to each other until quite long later, he brought a woman back—a white woman. She saw it: she saw them kissing, tearing each other's clothes off, entering the room… making some noise that was not foreign to her.

It was the same as that day in the Bai family's fireplace.

She felt sour like she had lost something. Actually, she knew that she liked that man, but why did they become like this?

Wei Lan had also felt the strange atmosphere between Gao Yi and Xia Ruoxin. She meant to ask, but before she could say a word, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door, and outside was the person she did not wish to see today and for the rest of her life.

”What are you doing here?” She let go of the doorknob but did not chase him out.

At that time, she had already thought it through. She did not have much hopes and thoughts about this man. Since she did not have any, what was there to be scared of? There was no difference if she saw him or not.

Bai Zhenfeng walked in, and his hair was all white. At that moment, Wei Lan then realized that this man was old. Yes, they were all old. Their children had already grown up; how could they not be old?

Bai Zhenfeng's aging was not only because of his age but also because of reality.

All his calculations, his everything, turned into nothing because Bai Luoyin was jailed.

Now, he could really fit the description of 'forever alone'.

The wife that stayed with him his whole life had left him in a fit of anger, his only daughter was forced to be admitted into a mental hospital, and the Gao Yi that used to listen to him even if he did not like him that much… he could not even hear Gao Yi call him 'Uncle' anymore.

”I came here to see you.” Bai Zhenfeng stood up his back that was originally straightened—it became curved now.

”Thank you for coming here to see me.” Wei Lan pointed at the seat opposite her. ”Please, take a seat.”

Bai Zhenfeng sat down. The couple that had walked half their life together had now become speechless in front of one another.

One could not say who was hurt and who was let down; one could only say that one of them never treated this with his heart while the other had used up all her love and patience.
