You Owe Me, My Love

Bai Rong fell down slowly and rested on her arm while looking out the door, but her eyes were not focused and said softly, “I hate mistresses. Because of them, my mother's and my own marriages were broken. Yet I am becoming the kind of person I hated the most. I don't want it.”

She closed her eyes and tears streamed out from the corners of her eyes to the bridge of her nose, then to her sideburns.

Looking at those tears, Gu Mingchen felt like his heart was being stabbed and it hurt.

He wiped the tears from her eyes with his heart aching and his eyes deepened a little.

The man knew that it was his oversight for not discussing the matter with Bai Rong beforehand as it happened without warning. He was caught off guard and did not have enough time to deal with it. Besides, he did not know how to bring it up to her.

“Rong, I will not let you become a paramour. I promise.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice, then lifted her up and sent her back.

Liu Yan saw Gu Mingchen at the door with Bai Rong in his arms.

She reeked of alcohol and he had a terrible look on his face.

“What happened? Why did Rong drink so much?” Liu Yan said worriedly.

Gu Mingchen put Bai Rong on her bed and covered her with a blanket. Looking at her for awhile, he said to Liu Yan, “Please take care of her in the coming days. Call me if anything happens.”

“Rong said that she'll end our friendship if I contact you again and she didn't seem to be joking. I won't dare to contact you anymore.” Liu Yan said in a low voice.

Her friend was always a rational person rather than an impulsive one. Judging from how much Bai Rong drank today and what he said just now, he must have done something bad to her friend.

He frowned helplessly and looked at Liu Yan, “You can contact me secretly, as long as she doesn't find out.”

Liu Yan shrugged her shoulders, “I'll try.”

Right then, Gu Tianhang called him. He furrowed his brows in irritation and walked outside the room to answer the call, “I'm coming over now.”

Liu Yan looked at his back and had a hunch that something bad must have happened.

Bai Rong woke up at 4 a.m. because she felt thirsty.

Her head hurt from drinking too much last night.

Somehow, she came to the conclusion that no one would be responsible for her other than herself in this world.

Leaving her bed, she poured herself a glass of water and stirred it with honey. She held the glass and walked to the window.

The sky was still dark; there was no moon and the stars were thinly scattered.

Ding! Unlocking her phone, Bai Rong saw that the text was from Gu Mingchen.

Are you feeling OK? She looked at the text message indifferently as sourness and bitterness flowed through her heart. Instead of replying, she blocked his number.

She turned off the lights and lay on the bed with her eyes closed. It's so painful. Su Xuyan caused her this kind of pain before, she just needed to get used to it slowly. One day, it would be numb and fade away. However, she didn't know how long it'd take. Bai Rong stayed awake throughout the night, unable to get back to sleep. She left the house at 7 a.m..

It had been two weeks since she last visited her mother.

She missed her mother so badly and wondered if she remembered that she requested Su Xuyan to go visit her the next time Bai Rong visited.

Gu Mingchen watched Bai Rong as she got into the taxi then took a puff of smoke and exhaled. She didn't reply to his text.

He had stayed in the parking lot and saw her standing at the window at 4 a.m..

She must have seen the text message, but she deliberately did not reply.

His heart tightened and countless sorrows flowed out. Stubbing out the cigarette, he texted her again.

Don't read the latest news. Don't listen to or believe any of them. I will come to you once I solve the problem.

He waited for a while but still, there's no reply.

The Saturday music station was playing on the radio in the taxi.

The DJ's brisk voice could be heard, “Good news! Rumor has it that the son of Deputy Commander Gu and the granddaughter of the former Deputy Commander Su are getting married. The marriage has not happened, yet the news has already been announced to the world. Although I have no chance to attend the wedding of these two big names, I still wish the couple to stay sweet forever in love. Coming up next, a nice song for this good news — Tomorrow I'm going to marry you.”

Bai Rong leaned her head against the window while staring at the blank space indifferently and feeling the pain in her heart quietly.

"Bro, the son of Deputy Commander Gu and the granddaughter of the former Deputy Commander Su are getting married, so hurry up and buy the stock of Gu Group. The joining of these two will definitely cause the price of the stock to surge.” The taxi driver chatted with his colleague.

“You don't say! Now their stock has grown from 80 to 150. Just wait until the grand wedding for the price to increase again.” The other driver replied through the intercom

"What if the groom or bride escapes from the wedding. That would be interesting.”

“I'm waiting to see that too. Hahaha.”

Bai Rong listened to their casual chat.

They continued chatting until they arrived at the entrance of the nursing home.

After paying the driver, she went to the entrance for registration then headed towards her mother's ward accompanied by the staff.

Bai Rong was taken aback for a moment when she opened the door. Su Xuyan was there. Bai Rong squinted her eyes defensively.

Su Xuyan was cutting Bai Bing's fingernails.

The good news about Gu Mingchen’s engagement was broadcasted on TV.

In her memory, there was no TV in her mother’s ward.

“Why are you here?” Bai Rong asked.

Su Xuyan smirked wickedly, “I'm sorry, my dear. I went abroad earlier and didn't get to visit mom for so long. Please don't be angry.”

Before she even spoke, she heard Bai Bing, “I'm not upset. You were busy with work after all.”

“Bai Rong is here, so I won't interrupt your quality time. I'll go out and get something. I remember mom likes durian best right?” Su Xuyan smiled and got up while putting down the nail clippers and went to wash his hands.

“I'll accompany you. You don't know how to pick, do you?” Bai Rong said and walked out from the ward first. Su Xuyan followed behind.

"Su Xuyan, what was that?” Bai Rong asked straight away as soon as she left.

“I thought you asked me to visit your mother once a month after our divorce?” He said with a smile. “I don't believe you are so kind.” Bai Rong guarded.

“Then do you think you still have any value to me?” Su Xuyan asked back in a smirk.

That sent shivers down her spine.

“Don’t come again.” Bai Rong said in precautious.

"Okay. I'll go over and talk to your mother about our divorce.”

Bai Rong held Su Xuyan's arm because that would definitely stimulate and worsen her mother's condition

Su Xuyan raised the corners of his mouth, “I'm just trying to help you. You won't try to refuse, will you?"

Bai Rong lowered her eyes then released his hand and said coldly, “Thank you, then.”

“Do you know why Gu Mingchen is marrying Su Wanning?” Su Xuyan said lightly.
