You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 73

She really did like Gu Mingchen.

She liked him when he was gentle, dominant and even when he was being unreasonable.

Perhaps that was why she would willingly give herself up to him, but would rather die than let Su Xuyan touch her.

“What are you laughing about?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“I just feel fortunate that someone like me is able to be liked by you, chief Gu.” Bai Rong took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Gu Mingchen didn’t say a word and just kept his eyes forward as he drove.

The noise of rain hitting the car was annoying him.

Bai Rong looked at him with a gentle gaze, “Gu Mingchen, in fact, I’m satisfied with just being like this.”

Gu Mingchen hit the brakes suddenly and said coldly while looking at Bai Rong, “What if I’m not satisfied with this?”

“A month’s time is not enough to know someone well. You may not know some people even after spending ten years with them. I feel that I’m not the person you’re looking for.” Bai Rong said rationally.

“I’ll be the one to decide whether you’re the person I’m looking for. I won’t allow you to back out, Bai Rong.” Gu Mingchen grabbed her arm tightly as he looked at her.

“But I’m certain that you aren’t the person I’m looking for. I realized that we’re not suitable as I spent more time with you and got to know you better. A relationship isn’t a one way street, and won’t be

balanced as long as one of us doesn’t feel the same way.” Bai Rong looked him straight in the eye without flinching.

“So, you don’t like me then?” Gu Mingchen asked coldly.

Bai Rong swallowed and said, “No, I don’t.”

“Then why did you have sex with me?” Gu Mingchen’s tone grew colder.

“Because I know that you want me, and I had no other way to repay the kindness you’ve shown me.”

“So you were just doing it out of gratitude?” Gu Mingchen let go of her arm.

Bai Rong clenched her fists and lowered her gaze as she admitted, “Yes.”

Gu Mingchen punched the steering wheel, and it made a loud honk.

Gu Mingchen’s chest heaved violently as he remained silent for about a minute.

Bai Rong kept quiet too, and felt as if the warmth was gone and her heart was engulfed by an icy coldness once again.

Gu Mingchen turned to her after a long pause, “Do you think you might like me?”

Bai Rong shook her head, “You liking me is already a burden to me.”

“Understood.” Gu Mingchen started driving again.

He drove her to Liu Yan’s house without saying a single word along the way.

As soon as Bai Rong got out of the car, Gu Mingchen drove off before she was even able to return his coat.

She stood there in silence as she watched his car leaving, knowing that she had lost him completely.

Perhaps that was for the better, as someone high and mighty like him should not be with a woman like her. Just seeing him on the television screen from here on was good enough for her.

Bai Rong turned around and stepped into the elevator.

As soon as she stepped out, her phone rang.

She felt annoyed when she saw that it was Su Xuyan calling. She didn’t answer his call and just put her phone on silent before tossing it onto the sofa.

She took a shower, had a change of clothes, and applied a cold compress on her face before making dinner for Liu Yan.

Everything was so calm and peaceful that it seemed like nothing had happened.

Liu Yan opened the door and saw the dishes on the table, “It smells great!”

“Wash your hands and we can have dinner.” Bai Rong came out of the kitchen holding a bowl of yam with spare ribs.

“Are you alright?” Liu Yan asked worriedly as she walked closer to Bai Rong and noticed her swollen face, “Who hit you? Was it Su Xuyan?” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Bai Rong smiled, “It’s just a little swelling. It doesn’t hurt now. In fact, I feel a lot better now compared to my first year of marriage.”

“This is domestic violence!” Liu Yan said angrily.

“Well, I slapped his mother twice while he slapped me once, so it wasn’t a loss for me.” Bai Rong laughed.

“A scumbag like him has a mother?” The more Liu Yan thought about it, the more she felt that Bai Rong’s life would be very difficult in the future.

“Come on, eat up! Once Su Xuyan finds another prey, I’ll be able to return to my peaceful life. Based on my understanding towards him, he never stays with a woman for more than three months. So, there’s nothing to worry about.” Bai Rong sat down and started eating.

Liu Yan held her hand and her voice was filled with guilt as she said, “I’m sorry, Bai. If not for me, you would’ve been able to get together with Gu Mingchen by now.”

“I met Gu Mingchen’s parents today. His father is a deputy commander, and his mother is a strong corporate woman. What do you think I have?” Bai Rong asked.

“I think you’re alright.” Liu Yan said.

“That’s because we’re colleagues and friends. In reality, someone like Gu Mingchen would only marry a woman of matching social status, otherwise he would not have a bright future. Even without what happened to you, I still wouldn’t have gotten together with him anyway. We’ll just pretend that it was all a dream.” Bai Rong smiled.

“Are you really able to let it go?” Liu Yan’s eyes reddened, “I think it’s a real shame though.”

“Of course it’s a shame. Gu Mingchen is such a great man that every woman would want to be with. However, I’m just not suitable for him.” Bai Rong said as she gave Liu Yan a piece of braised pork.

“You could still benefit greatly from him. Why are you so stubborn?” Liu Yan said.

Bai Rong held her hand, “All my friends are equally precious. I’ve thought about it and made up my mind.”

Liu Yan’s phone rang.

She got furious when she saw that it was Su Xuyan calling, “What the hell are you calling me for?! Are you looking for trouble?!”

“Open the door, I’m right outside.” Su Xuyan said in a commanding tone and hung up.

Liu Yan grabbed a mop and swung it at Su Xuyan as soon as she opened the door, but he was quicker and grabbed hold of the mop.

Liu Yan tried to snatch it from him but he was too strong, “Why are you here?! Where are my nude photographs?! Why don’t you just die?! I saw the shameless things you did with Xing Jinnian with my own eyes! Why are you still harassing Rong now?!”

Su Xuyan ignored her and turned to look at Bai Rong, “Come with me.”

Bai Rong pursed her lips and kept quiet.

“You have one minute. I’ll be waiting downstairs.” Su Xuyan said as he tossed the mop aside and gave Liu Yan a sinister look before leaving.

“Don’t go, Rong. Just let him release the photographs. I don’t care. I’ve got a great figure so I have nothing to fear.” Liu Yan said irrationally.

Bai Rong stood up and told Liu Yan, “I’ll settle this myself. You just stay home and don’t do anything. See you tomorrow at the hospital.”

“Don’t go!” Liu Yan cried.

“I’ll have to face it sooner or later anyway, so running isn’t an option. I’ll be fine.” Bai Rong smiled and tossed her phone into her handbag as she walked out the door.

Liu Yan felt that Bai Rong would be in danger, and called Gu Mingchen.
