Chapter 598 I’d Rather Marry a Man than Marry You

Xia Ruoxin closed her eyes, slightly tearing up. “Whether he would still like me or not, that is none of your business. However, what I do know is that he hates women’s ugly features the most. Mrs. Bai, you’re an adult; and Rainy is just a child. Did you really think that bullying a child would give you satisfaction? Or did you think that doing this was really befitting of your social status?”

Bullying a child, she sure had a thick skin.

Bai Luoyin was criticized until her face turned a little blue and then a little white. However, she still stubbornly refused to admit her mistake. “Who asked her to be your child? Who asked you to snatch Gao Yi from me? You were asking for it.”

Xia Ruoxin carefully held her daughter’s small hand and walked past Bai Luoyin. However, her calm voice spoke, just like a slap to Bai Luoyin’s face, “If he loved you, then nobody would have been able to steal him from you. If he doesn’t love you, other women will still appear by his side. Even if it’s not me, another woman will be by his side; but it will definitely never be you.”

Xia Ruoxin touched her daughter’s soft and yet-to-be wet hair. Thankfully, she didn’t let Rainy get hurt. However, she still let her cry. She said before that she wouldn’t let her daughter become the second Xia Ruoxin; that’s why she had to protect her own daughter well.

“Rainy, next time, don’t anyhow run around. Okay?” She gently clasped her daughter’s tiny hand.

Rainy sniffed and miserably said, “Mommy, Rainy knows. There’s that monster outside.” The child’s tender voice was extremely pleasant to hear. However, when it traveled into Bai Luoyin’s ears, it made her expression grimmer than before instead.

She remained standing in her place until Xia Ruoxin and her daughter both disappeared from her sight. The cold winds that accompanied the rain brushed against her face. At that moment, it was unduly cold.

“This is just the start, Xia Ruoxin. I will definitely make you get out of the Bai family. Gao Yi is mine; he will definitely be mine, definitely.”

She abruptly lifted her head, and her voice paused. She felt a shadow appear in front of her.

“Yi…” Her quivering lips spoke this one word before her vision blurred for a moment. Gao Yi’s face which wasn’t smiling anymore had already reflected in her eyes. He could be cold-hearted, for example right now.

The side of him that Bai Luoyin saw was exactly that side of him. His face had long lost the gentleness of before, and at that moment, he was enshrouded and submerged in a cold air from head to toe.

Furthermore, it was extremely, extremely cold.

“Yi…” she called out again. It was just Gao Yi’s expression at that moment made her feel frightened. She wanted to see his face clearly, but she was afraid that she would meet his eyes. Therefore, in the end, she could only lower her own head.

When did he arrive? How much did he see? Had he already seen everything that she had done just now? At that moment, a perplexed look flashed across her eyes. However, she still felt that she didn’t do anything wrong. If it wasn’t for that woman’s appearance, then she would still have been his fiancé-his future wife. It was all because of that woman, all because she came into the picture.

“Did you think that I would definitely marry you if Ruoxin didn’t exist?” Gao Yi’s voice coldly resonated with her ears. Every word and every sentence making her feel as if she was drenched by the rain outside. She clearly wasn’t drenched at all, and yet she really felt very, very cold. So cold that she could even feel it in her bones.

“Bai Luoyin…” Gao Yi called her name, a thick sense of mockery flashing across his eyes. Wasn’t she being too self-important? And conceited?

Bai Luoyin suddenly lifted her head, her eyes continuously shimmering. She wanted to show him her most beautiful smile, but evidently, she didn’t feel like joking right now. She could barely even control the expressions on her face.

“Yi, I…”

After that word ‘I’, she didn’t know what to say. She knew that he didn’t like her right now and even hated her. However, she really loved him. She was wrong-she really knew that she was wrong. Were there no more chances for her after her mistake? Now that she understood love, was there no way for her to receive forgiveness anymore?

Gao Yi reached out his hand and placed it on Bai Luoyin’s face. His fingers were very cold, but his voice was even colder. “Even if all the women on this earth died, I’d rather marry a man than marry you.”

“Yi, can’t you forgive me? Can’t we just go back to the past?” Bai Luoyin suddenly reached out her hands and hugged his waist. “You clearly liked me last time; you clearly loved me. Yet, why are you treating me like this now?”

The sarcastic undertones on his face became more obvious. “I think I’ve made myself clear. The past is the past. The past has already passed, and it has already been long forgotten. Perhaps, in the past, I was infatuated with you; but the moment you played with my feelings, we had already become strangers. An infatuation can always end, and love can always fade. Did you really think that you were so charismatic that I’d let you break my heart however you want?”

Gao Yi’s words made Bai Luoyin’s body abruptly jerk, and she couldn’t help but take a step back. The rain flowed down her back, making her shudder. What he meant was that he had already moved on. He didn’t love her anymore, and he would never help her do her bidding. However, he would do all that for another woman… is that right?

Gao Yi simply watched indifferently as Bai Luoyin was drenched by rain. His pupils were extremely dull, and there was not a single bit of emotion in it. At that moment, his heart was cold.

He turned around, not wanting to take another look at this woman because she was really very disgusting.

He walked forward, and Bai Luoyin dazedly watched as he left, everything blurring before her eyes. She had yet to give up; on the contrary, she harbored even more resentment.

“Xia Ruoxin, it’s all because of you…”

The rain endlessly drenched her clothes, and her body was extremely cold. However, the fury in her body kept on growing. So much so that it was already about to burn herself to ash.

The rain continued to fall, hitting against the ground and splashing up transparent raindrops from time to time. The sky that was ash-gray further darkened.

Xia Ruoxin helped Rainy to take off her little shoes. Then, she took a towel and wrapped Rainy in it first. She wouldn’t be cold like that. The clothes on her body were wet as well, but right now, she was busy taking care of Rainy and had no time for herself.

“Mommy, Rainy’s hair hurts.” Rainy reached her small hands and rubbed her head. Bai Luoyin had flung her hair around just now; right now, it still hurt a little.

Xia Ruoxin placed her hand on her daughter’s head and gently rubbed it. “Alright, it doesn’t hurt anymore, right?” She smiled while asking Rainy.

Rainy blinked her eyes and firmly nodded her head. “It really doesn’t hurt anymore. Mommy, your hand is so mystical.”
