You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 190

“She’s already dead.” Gu Mingchen said in a low voice. His expression was completely blank.

Bai Rong’s eyes reddened with tears.

She knew many married couples who had faced some problems in their marriage. Although they had initially gotten married because of their love for each other, the mundaneness of daily life had turned each other’s strengths into weaknesses. From there, arguments had arisen, causing freedoms to be restricted.

The couples had fought with each other and tried to hurt each other, until the conflicts got too much and destroyed any remaining love they shared. In the end, the marriages came crashing down and the couples had separated.

The lucky ones parted amicably, though most would just continue on as strangers.

However, there were those who henceforth treated each other like archenemies.

Because they had once loved each other, those memories were all the more grating now. Even if their relationship had been happy once, both recalled those times with nothing but bitterness.

Hence, the living Bai Rong could never win against a dead girl who was hidden away in Gu Mingchen’s memories.

When Zhou Hailan died, she had left in his memory the most beautiful impression of her.

She was sunny, outgoing, brilliant, beautiful and carefree.

Zhou Hailan had even died because of him. In his heart, she was a memory nobody would be able to erase. She would always be a girl that he could never have no matter how hard he tried.

On the other hand, Bai Rong was full of flaws. The longer Gu Mingchen spent with her, the better he would think of his ex-girlfriend.

Bai Rong didn’t want to get married to Gu Mingchen and then have to see their marriage head down a path of self-destruction.

More importantly, she couldn’t stand it if the man she loved had another woman in his heart.

She would much rather give up on a man like this.

“Let’s eat.” Bai Rong dodged the subject and walked into a French restaurant.

Her phone started to ring. She looked down and saw that Liu Yan was calling her.

“Rong, I’m in trouble.” Liu Yan said, sobbing.

Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat and she asked worriedly, “What happened to you?”

“Yesterday, I…I…” Liu Yan didn’t know how to explain. “Where are you now? I’m at your hotel. Let’s talk when we meet.”

“Alright, I’m coming back now.” Bai Rong said in a panicked tone.

She hung up the phone and turned to Gu Mingchen. “Something has happened to Yan. I have to go back now. I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

Without waiting for Gu Mingchen to respond, Bai Rong picked up her handbag and dashed out of the restaurant.

Gu Mingchen’s eyes followed her as she left. Thinking deeply, he took out his phone and started deleting all his photos of Zhou Hailan, one by one.

Bai Rong found Liu Yan in the hotel lobby.

Liu Yan’s eyes were red. She was still wearing her clothes from yesterday and didn’t look very well.

“Yan, what happened?” Bai Rong asked worriedly.

“Bai, do you know what happened to me yesterday? Who took me away?” Liu Yan asked agitatedly.

“You texted me that you were going to have fun with a male escort and told me not to look for you.” Bai Rong looked anxiously at Liu Yan. “What exactly happened to you?”

“I wasn’t with a male escort! I somehow fell asleep in the karaoke room yesterday. When I woke up, I was in a hotel room. I was forced by someone to, well, you know… The point is, he took some rather compromising videos of me.” Liu Yan said, her face white as sheet.

“Can you tell who the man is from the videos?”

“No. The hotel was also booked under my name. I wanted to check the CCTV, but the staff told me that their CCTV was broken down yesterday.” Liu Yan said heavily.

Liu Yan was very loud sometimes and looked as though she was quite a liberal person.

However, she was actually very traditional in her thinking.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t still be single now.

“Let’s go for a check-up in the hospital first to ensure that you didn’t catch anything from him. Then you can decide whether or not you want to call the police.” Bai Rong said, thinking logically.

“Let’s go to a private hospital. I’m scared I’ll get recognized if I go to a public one. Also, I don’t want to go to the police. It’s very easy for this sort of stuff to make it onto the news these days.” Liu Yan felt very upset.

Bai Rong felt very guilty as well. If she hadn’t left Liu Yan alone in the room, nothing would have happened. “Did the man leave behind… that thing?”
