You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 A Genuine Conversation

“But you are! I love you. I feel a sense of security just from seeing your face. Even if you don’t love me back, I still want to stay by your side till the end of time. I want to die with someone whom I love beside me,” Su Xuyan said passionately.

Bai Rong sighed. “You should focus on what needs to be done. Go ahead and get rid of Xing Bachuan.” Bai Rong looked away and continued to eat her meal without speaking a single word.

Afterward, the waiter came over to settle the bill.

“Ma’am, someone has already paid for your table,” Zhong said with a smile just as Bai Rong took out her wallet.

She glanced at Su Xuyan.

“It’s not me,” he explained.

Bai Rong’s eyes darkened as she shifted her gaze toward the entrance.

It had to be Gu Mingchen if it was not Su Xuyan.

What is he trying to do? I’m eating with Su Xuyan, so why is he paying for our meal?

She could not wrap her head around Gu Mingchen’s true intentions. Just like the old Bai Rong, she could not see through the veil of mystery around him to uncover his true self at all.

“Who paid the bills?” Su Xuyan asked.

Shaking her head, Bai Rong replied, “I’m not sure, but whatever. Let’s go.”

With that, she walked out of the restaurant.

It was a rather windy night. A chilly gust of wind made Bai Rong wrap her arms around herself.

Su Xuyan immediately put his own jacket over her.

His jacket felt warm but had the distinct smell of cologne.

Past or present, Bai Rong had always preferred a natural, refreshing scent rather than the sickening sweetness of cologne.

As Su Xuyan hailed a taxi by the road, Bai Rong turned around sheepishly and caught sight of Gu Mingchen staring at her from the window of his private room.

His eyes were deep as a bottomless ocean. For a second, they locked gazes with each other, but she quickly looked away, with her fists lightly clenched.

A taxi had come to a stop before them, and Su Xuyan opened the door of the backseat for Bai Rong. She promptly got in the car.

As Su Xuyan sat down beside her, she passed his jacket back and told the driver, “Please take us to the Jadeborough Hotel.”

“Rong, can I stay in your room tonight?” Su Xuyan was very direct with his words.

“No, that’s inappropriate. My Aunt Flo is here.” Bai Rong immediately declined him.

Pursing his lips into a dangerous smile, Su Xuyan replied, “Well, I won’t force you to let me in. I’ve waited three years. A week’s wait is nothing.”

“I’m used to sleeping alone,” Bai Rong spoke dispassionately, with her head low.

Su Xuyan frowned. Tilting his head slightly, there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere within the taxi turned dead silent.

It was so quiet that they could hear the sound of each other breathing.

Su Xuyan’s felt his throat turn a little dry, and his breathing was becoming rather unsteady. He shifted his whole body to face Bai Rong.

She was leaning on the seat comfortably with her eyes closed.

“What if I force you to let me stay in your room?” Su Xuyan growled, his eyes burning with passion.

Eyeing him for a brief moment, Bai Rong replied, “Alright.”

Her response caught him completely off guard.

Su Xuyan raised his eyebrows. “You just agreed?”

“Yeah,” Bai Rong murmured and leaned on his shoulder.

With a pounding heart, Su Xuyan held her shoulder and took a closer look at her delicate face.
