You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 47

Su Xuyan felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort in his heart when he saw her crying.

He never loved Bai Rong, and had ulterior motives ever since the first day he approached her.

He had wanted to get close to Xing Bachuan.

However, he didn’t expect that Xing Bachuan would not acknowledge her as his daughter.

He regretted his actions and arranged for the kidnapping because he didn’t want to marry her.

But she had managed to escape and even got raped by someone along the way, which angered him greatly.

She had insisted on marrying him after that, to which he agreed just so he could torment her.

But when she wanted to get a divorce, he felt unwilling to.

He was in a bad mood as he couldn’t figure out the reason he felt that way, “Let’s just stay separated for a month. If I am certain that I don’t want you anymore after that, I will agree to get a divorce. But you’d better not do anything that would wrong me during this one month.”

Bai Rong cried tears of joy, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope.

She grabbed her handbag and left the villa as quickly as possible.

Xing Jinnian let out a smug grin seeing her sister leave.

“Xuyan.” Xing Jinnian’s hand danced mischievously around Su Xuyan’s lap. “Now that she’s gone, let’s continue.”

Su Xuyan felt no excitement at all, “Nian, you can leave for now.”

“Alright, I’ll get going then. If I didn’t know you well enough, I would have suspected that you’ve fallen in love with Bai Rong.” Xing Jinnian said intentionally.

Su Xuyan gave her a sharp glare and pinned her onto the table, “Give me that crap again and I’ll kill you! How could I possibly love that woman?!”

Xing Jinnian wrapped herself around Su Xuyan and gave him a flirtatious smile, “Sure, I’m looking forward to that!”

Su Xuyan then penetrated her directly without wasting any time.

He found his mood to be particularly irritable, as if his heart was shrouded in darkness. In the end, he decided to not think about it and put all his emotions into his exercise…

Bai Rong contacted Liu Yan, who then took the day off to unlock the door for her.

Liu Yan was worried about her, “Rong, what has that animal done to you?”

“He agreed to live separately for a month, and we could get a divorce after that.” Bai Rong said with a smile.

“He finally made the right decision for once. You can stay at my place for the time being, just in case he changes his mind and looks for you. My house is quite big for me to live here alone anyway, so I could use some company.” Liu Yan opened the door.

“Alright. Thank you, Yan.”

Liu Yan hugged Bai Rong on the shoulder, “No need to thank me! Go on in and have a look at your room!”

Bai Rong left Gu Mingchen’s book on the balcony to dry.

Liu Yan leaned on the door frame as she stirred her coffee, “Once you get divorced with Su Xuyan, you can start dating Gu Mingchen properly. I think he’s a decent man.” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Precisely, he’s too good…” Bai Rong turned around and asked, “What makes you think I am worthy of someone like him?”

“Shouldn’t women look for a man with better conditions than them? Forget about whether you’re worthy of him, and just focus on winning his heart over!” Liu Yan gulped on her coffee as she had to work the night shift.

Bai Rong just let out a faint smile without saying a word.

Her phone rang.

She saw that it was Gu Mingchen and hesitated for a bit, but decided that it was better to clear things up with him.

She didn’t want to start a new relationship at the moment as she was still healing from the wounds left by her previous one.

Bai Rong answered the call.

“Are you alright? I heard you took five days off! I’m making the arrangements for your mother’s release right now. I’ll have someone hand you the plane tickets for Provence later. There will be someone there to pick you up when you arrive.”

As she heard the concern in his voice, she felt a painful sensation in her heart and tears began to fall.

However, she believed that she was unworthy of his kindness and didn’t want to owe him any more favors.

“No need. I don’t feel like traveling right now. Besides, my mother’s condition is too serious to go anyway. I’d like to treat you to dinner tonight, are you free?” Bai Rong said.

“Sure, I’ll come pick you up.”

“Meet me at the entrance of Starbucks Coffee Shop at Shuiyue International in one hour. I’ll hang up now.”

Liu Yan laughed, “That general is a decent man. Just sleep with him tonight.”

“I’m there to clear things up with him.” Bai Rong said calmly.

“What are you going to make clear? Don’t you go rejecting him now.” Liu Yan was getting anxious.

“I’ve been divorced once, and got raped three years ago. On top of that, my mother is mentally ill. Do you think his family will accept me?” Bai Rong asked.

“It’ll be fine as long as there is true love. Why are you belittling yourself like that? There aren’t many women out there prettier than you. You were just unlucky to have met Su Xuyan.” Her friend didn’t want her to give up on him.

“Su Xuyan had agreed to be separated for a month and will get divorced with me if nothing happens. I’ll be free by then. I just want to live my life in peace, free from Su Xuyan’s possessive behavior. Gu Mingchen is someone I cannot afford to mess around with.” Bai Rong had thought things through.

“Alright, I won’t pressure you any further since you aren’t divorced yet. But Bai, you should care for yourself more instead of only caring for others all the time, or you will be the one who suffers.” Liu Yan advised.

“At least my conscience will be clear that way.” Bai Rong went to her room and retrieved her ATM card. She then made a trip to the bank and withdrew the money.

By the time she arrived at Starbucks, Gu Mingchen was already seated inside near a window.

The evening rays fell on his gorgeous face which seemed to be troubled as he stirred his coffee mindlessly without drinking it at all.

When he looked up and saw her, he put a hundred dollar bill on the table and walked towards her.

“Are you alright?”

“Are you alright?”

They both asked, almost at the same time.

Bai Rong laughed.

Even if he wasn’t alright, there was nothing much that she could do for him either. The most she could hope for was to not cause him any further trouble.

“There are lots of restaurants on the fourth floor. What would you like to eat?” Bai Rong asked.

“I’m fine with anything.” Gu Mingchen said as he passed her a bottle of ointment, “My friend made this. Apply it on the wound, and it won’t leave a scar.”

Bai Rong felt her eyes tear up a little as she accepted the ointment.

They soon reached the fourth floor, and Bai Rong walked into a high-end western restaurant.

Gu Mingchen sat down in front of her, “If you’re worried about your mother’s condition, I can have the medical staff go along with you.”

“Chief!” Bai Rong shouted.

His kindness was too much for her to bear.

The light in his eyes faded when he heard the way she addressed him.

“I had thought about being friends with you at first, since it’s not often one gets to befriend someone of your status. But after giving it some thought, I realized I have no right to be your friend.”

Gu Mingchen narrowed his eyes, “What do you mean by that?”

Bai Rong lowered her head.

Cruel words would still sound cruel no matter when you say them, wouldn’t they?

“I just want to live a peaceful and ordinary life.”

“And how have I made it otherwise? Bai Rong, have you fallen in love with me or something?” Gu Mingchen tensed up as he asked her that.
