You Owe Me, My Love
Chapter 87

“Su Xuyan, do you think you have a high emotional intelligence?” Bai Rong asked a rhetoricalquestion.

“You've loved me before, right?”

“Many women have loved you and they have all been hurt by you. If there is retribution in thisworld, then you will definitely die miserably in the future.” Bai Rong admonished.

She stepped past him and walked out of the security room then followed the crowd into themagnificent hall

She didn't walk directly towards Gu Mingchen. Instead, she walked to a corner of the banquet halland called him again.

Gu Mingchen felt the vibration of the phone and frowned, “I'm sorry. Please excuse me.”

He walked out of the banquet hall and answered the call in the next room.

“Rong, what's wrong? Do you have any urgent matters? I'll let Lieutenant Shang handle it.” GuMingchen said softly.

“Where are you now? I want to see you.” Bai Rong said gently.

“I have something on now.”

Bai Rong took a deep breath.

She felt like her heart was stabbed by a sword which was handed to Gu Mingchen by herself.

He pulled the sword out of her heart, causing blood to ooze out while warmth drained out of herbody.

Suddenly, she no longer felt like asking him anything

Even when she was married to Su Xuyan back then, she couldn't control him; not to mention thatshe and Gu Mingchen had no official ties with each other.

If love needed to be controlled and was emotionally draining, then no matter how strong the lovewas, it would be completely consumed by endless conflicts and quarrels.

“I heard that you and Su Wanning are going to be engaged. I wish you happiness.” Bai Rong hungup and walked out of the banquet hall.

Gu Mingchen was shocked and opened the door at once. They almost bumped into each other andtheir eyes met. The gloominess in his eyes met her cold look. There was silence.

“Mingchen.” Su Wanning said in a sweet voice while running over and cuddled his arm while smilingat Bai Rong smugly. “I didn’t expect to see you here. This saves me a lot of trouble since I don’t haveto call you again. Mingchen and I will get engaged on the 9th next month in this hotel. Come earlyyeah.”

Bai Rong lowered her eyes without uttering a single word. She was in fact waiting for an explanationfrom Gu Mingchen. But seconds passed by without him refuting anything.

She understood what it meant. Bai Rong nodded to Su Wanning before turning around and raisedher head to do the same to Gu Mingchen. Then, she walked towards the elevator.

“She didn’t seem to be bothered at all.” Su Wanning looked at Bai Rong’s haughty back view andmumbled to herself.

Gu Mingchen clenched his fists tightly and the veins on the back of his hands burst out; his eyeswere brimming with helpless pain and a deep crease appeared between his brows

Bai Rong walked into the elevator quickly and pressed the button to the first floor. She lookedtowards the ground as her eyes welled up with tears.

She was bothered by that. But what could be done?

She couldn't cause a big scene as that would embarrass others and also cost her dignity.

She couldn't even complain or air her grievances as that wouldn't change anything, other thanmaking herself seem pathetic and ridiculous.

She was the one who fell in love with him.

If she had guarded her heart properly, she wouldn't end up feeling so sad.

As such, she didn't have the right to blame anyone but herself.

Bai Rong walked out of the hotel and squatted under a tree. Then, she hugged her knees andstarted sobbing loudly.

Su Xuyan stood in front of her and said, “I think you are quite foolish sometimes.”

Bai Rong didn't want anyone to disturb her, let alone be seen by the one she hated.

“Get lost.” She said dully.

Su Xuyan squatted in front of her and took out a piece of tissue with fragrance from his pocket, “Atleast I let you see the truth clearly. Shouldn't you thank me?”

“Thank you for what?” Bai Rong gritted her teeth, “Thank you for treating me so badly, so wheneversomeone treats me well, I will fall in love with them easily?”

"At least I didn't lie to you. You know how many affairs I have better than myself. To put it bluntly,the longest any of them was with me was only three months. Your position was unshakable, don'tyou think so?” Su Xuyan looked at her tears and couldn’t understand the emotions he was having.He sympathized with her a little, but also felt cuckolded that she was crying for another man.“Then I guess I should say thank you.” Bai Rong stood up then looked down at him and said coldly,“Get lost from my sight. If Gu Mingchen is the guillotine, you are actually the executioner and Ideserve it.

A taxi stopped in front of her.

She hopped in and it drove away quickly.

Su Xuyan stood up with one hand inside his pocket. His shadow was elongated under thestreetlights as the thought of getting back together with Bai Rong crossed his mind.

When Bai Rong went back, Liu Yan was surprised, “Rong, you came back so soon. Have you eatenyet?”

“No. You?" Bai Rong asked.

She went into her room and put both sets of Russian language books in a plastic bag.

“I had some instant noodles. What happened to you? Are you okay?” Liu Yan asked worriedly.

“I'm fine. I'll go out for a while and come back after eating. If I come back too late, please don't waitfor me.” Bai Rong said gently.

"Did you cry?” Liu Yan became increasingly worried.

“Liu Yan, if you really see me as a friend then please stop matching me with Gu Mingchen. If ithappens again, we'll no longer be friends.” Bai Rong went out and threw the Russian language bookinto the trash bin.

Looking at the books in the trash bin, Bai Rong thought that she was a fool.

She knew full well the differences between herself and Gu Mingchen, so she worked hard, hoping tonarrow the gap between them. The woman was willing to step out of her comfort zone and learnthings which she was not familiar with.

But her resolve, affections and efforts were not enough to earn her the sincerity of a man.

Since whatever she did would result in her getting hurt, it was better that she did nothing. That way,she would be able to live a more carefree life.

Bai Rong looked away. She did not intend to retrieve those books which she had thrown away. Sheentered the elevator again and went to the first floor.

The woman headed to a nearby restaurant and ordered some food. As Bai Rong's heart was achingso badly and the sadness was suffocating, she ordered some liquor as well.

Her head started to spin and her vision was getting blurry after drinking half a bottle.

Apparently, drowning your sorrows by drinking was a hoax.

Her heart was still aching because of what happened and her stomach was uncomfortable frombeing drunk.

I'll just take another sip. When I finish, I will throw up everything, then go back to sleep andtomorrow will be a brand new day.

Right when she was falling in her thoughts, Gu Mingchen snatched the glass from her hand, thenlifted it up and bottomed it.

He pulled the chair and sat across her.

She looked at him and there were many shadows stacking against each other like a kaleidoscope.She laughed and pointed at him, “Gu Mingchen.”

Holding her fingers with pain flowing in his eyes, he frowned and said, “Bai Rong, do you trust me?”
