You Owe Me, My Love

Bai Rong sucked at lying. She could only purse her lips to hide her panic before answering vaguely, "Didn“t we all see him just now?”

"Oh yes?” Su Xuyan stared at her icily, his gaze cutting like a razor sharp blade trying to poke through her lie.

Bai Rong looked at Su Xuyan in puzzlement. He was the one who went around having a fling with women and even had sex with them right in front of her. Why didn't he realize he was the one who wronged her then?

What he felt now was exactly how she felt whenever she saw him cheating on her.

Back then, the girl had been overwhelmed with emotions of rage, madness, and despair. Her mind broke down so severely that she began to doubt her life.

Bai Rong cooled down and asked back, “What are you trying to prove?”

“I'm not trying to prove anything. I believe you heard that Gu Mingchen and Su Wanning are getting married. His parents are very fond of her, so they will never accept other women into their family. The Su Family will never simply let go of you either. So don't humiliate yourself and banish all inappropriate thoughts you have now. Otherwise, I can guarantee your life will be a hundred times worse than now. You hear me?” Su Xuyan warned fiercely.

Bai Rong’s eyes dulled at his words. Deep down, she was always aware of the current situation. She dared not even imagine a future with Gu Mingchen.

What they did just now...She was unwilling to comply to a certain extent.

But again, she was touched by Gu Mingchen's sincere confession.

It would only take a fleeting moment for her fragile heart to be touched so deeply.

However, such feelings were short-lived. What matters the most was the continuation of their current life. She couldn't afford to risk his future.

“I know.” Bai Rong went to the sink and washed her face.

By the time she was out, Gu Mingchen was already chatting with Su Junhao on the sofa. The man once again directed his brooding eyes towards her.

Bai Rong dared not have eye contact with him and turned away.

“Uncle Su and Uncle Gu, Rong is not feeling well. We have to take our leave first then.” Su Xuyan greeted smilingly like the gentleman he always acted on the outside.

“You must've drank too much. Go back and rest then.” Su Wanning's mother smiled cordially.

Bai Rong nodded at Su Wanning's mother and left the room.

Gu Mingchen's eyes never left Bai Rong until she completely disappeared.

Su Junhao patted Gu Mingchen’s thigh to catch his attention before lowering his voice, “What's up with you and Bai Rong? She's now my cousin's wife and has been married for 3 years!”

“She is mine.” Gu Mingchen answered firmly.

Su Junhao was thunderstruck by Gu Mingchen'’s answer.

"What? So you like her? Are you crazy? She's a married lady! You are the most probable candidate to be the commander-in-chief! You want to forgo your future for the sake of that woman?” Su Junhao asked out of worry.

“She will divorce soon. I know what I'm doing.” Gu Mingchen replied in an autocratic tone

“Do what? My cousin is not an easy rival. His mother is related to the commander-in-chief, which means his political career is very bright. He's not stupid either and will resort to cruel means to reach his goal. Why on earth must you go after my cousins wife instead of other women?” Su Junhao disagreed with his decision.

“Do you still remember the mission I told you 3 years ago? That time when I got injected with aphrodisiac and harmed a woman?” Gu Mingchen replied heavily.

Su Junhao paused and made a guess, “That woman is Bai Rong?”

Gu Mingchen nodded. “I'm the one who ruined her life, so I must be responsible towards her.” "You better weigh the options clearly. Your feelings towards her may not be love. You're just guilty and regretful of the harm caused by your actions, that's why you wanted to make up to her. Her character is the total opposite of Hailan. I don't believe you really fell in love with her.”

“I am very clear of my feelings towards her.” Gu Mingchen answered firmly again.

“Brother, what are you two talking about?” Su Wanning plopped down beside Gu Mingchen

Su Junhao smiled at his sister endearingly. “We are discussing military business. It's best that you don't know about it.”

“I'm not interested in that anyway. Mingchen, mum and dad had discussed with Uncle and Aunt Gu. They suggested we be engaged by October. What do you think about that?” Su Wanning asked in delight.

Gu Mingchen got up and held Su Wanning's arms. Both of them walked towards the discussing parents as Su Wanning lowered her head sweetly.

“There's something I need to clarify with you all. All this while, I only took Wanning as my younger sister. I will still care for her like my own sister, but I definitely do not harbor any feelings of love like that of a man and woman. I came here just to inform and clarify my stance.” Gu Mingchen said straightforwardly.

The elders face turned ugly at his clarification.

"You idiot! Do you know what you're saying?” Gu Tianhang widened his eyes in anger.

“I am very clear with what I'm saying, and I'm very clear with what I want. And I'm all the more clearer with how I should treat Wanning. It's not a bad thing for Wanning to have another elder brother.” Gu Mingchen retorted coldly.

"One brother is already enough for me.” Su Wanning yanked her hands away irrationally.

Since Gu Mingchen was not giving face to her, then she planned to expose everything. “Is it because of Bai Rong?”

The moment Bai Rong’s name came out of her mouth, the adults all turned to Gu Mingchen in consternation.

Gu Mingchen gritted his teeth as his cutting gaze darted towards Su Wanning.

“It's because I don't like you.” Gu Mingchen snapped coldly.

“Then swear to mum and dad! Swear to everyone here that you don't like Bai Rong as well and you'll never be together with her.” Su Wanning pushed on aggressively.

“I don't need to swear for my actions. I have something to settle in the military. Allow me to take my leave.” Gu Mingchen nodded at the adults and walked away.

"Wanning, what do you mean just now? The Bai Rong you said, is Xuyan's wife?” Su Wanning's mother held her daughter's hands.

Su Wanning's eyes were red as tears fell out uncontrollably. “That's the slut.”

Pang!

Gu Tianhang smashed his cup on the floor and yelled lividly, “Impossible! I'll never allow such a woman to be part of my family!”

Su Wanning's mother turned to Su Junhao. “Hao, you're Gu Mingchen’s best friend and Wanning's brother. Explain this to me.”

Su Junhao smiled dryly at his parents’ murderous expression. “Come on, what are you all thinking? Mingchen will never be together with Bai Rong. After all, she’s Xuyan's wife! It's just that Mingchen still cannot get over Zhou Hailan. He's just frustrated that you guys keep nagging at him.”

"Hailan is dead for 5 years.” Su Wanning exposed Su Junhao's lie agitatedly.

“Don’t you know that Mingchen had always been a sentimental person with long lasting affection towards things he loved? He even still keeps the books from primary school! Oh, my dear sister,” Su Junhao hugged Su Wanning's shoulder in comfort and added in a serious tone, “If you want Mingchen to fall for you, then you should change your spoiled attitude. If you continue to be this impulsive, you'll ruin Mingchen’s face! If I were him, I'll never like a spoiled woman either! Men always prefer a gentle and graceful woman to be his wife.”

After a round of coaxing, Su Junhao finally managed to relieve the tension on the adult's face.

The man sighed helplessly. He had really tried his best for the sake of his best friend.......
