You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282 We Will Go Our Separate Ways As Long As You Are Happy

After hanging up the call, Bai Rong was still deep in thought.

“What’s wrong?” Su Xuyan asked as he reached over to hold her ice-cold hand.

Bai Rong shook her head. “I heard a piece of shocking news from someone, so I’m still struggling to come to terms with it.”

Su Xuyan sighed softly. “You’re always overthinking things and keeping everything to yourself. Rong, you need to try and make more friends,” he suggested.

“You ever heard the saying, a hedge between keeps friendship green? The ones who acted all chummy with you end up being backstabbers, while those who you rarely spoke to are the ones who stick around. Sometimes, friends are even scarier than enemies, so I’d rather choose quality over quantity,” Bai Rong rebuked.

Su Xuyan nodded. “I guess you’re right. You only need me.”

Bai Rong let out a short laugh and gazed out the window.

For some reason, her laugh made him feel particularly uneasy.

“We’re here,” Su Xuyan announced just as he pulled up in front of their breakfast location.

Upon recognizing the Hummer parked next to their car as Gu Mingchen’s, Bai Rong’s brows furrowed. Must Su Xuyan cause a scene every single day? Is it so he can sleep better at night?

Gu Mingchen and Lieutenant Song walked out right then.

Su Xuyan smirked and said, “What a coincidence. I never expected to run into you like this. Since when has A City become such a small world?”

Gu Mingchen cast a glance at Su Xuyan’s smug face. “The way I see it, you’ll be able to run into anyone as long as you have enough drive.”

“Speaking of which, how could I ever compare to your drive, Chief Gu? I’ve been wondering, would it make you feel better when your subordinates report to you about seeing Bai Rong and I rolling in the sheets?” Su Xuyan mocked.

“What I feel is my own business. Is it all the evil deeds bearing down on your conscience that’s making you fear being spied on?” Gu Mingchen countered.

“If it’s like what you said, I wouldn’t be able to stay safe until now. You, on the other hand, should be careful from here on out. You escaped previously because of pure luck, but Lady Luck won’t stand by your side forever. Or to be exact,” Su Xuyan paused to grab Bai Rong’s waist and pull her toward him before continuing, “The lady is already standing by my side.”

Gu Mingchen’s mouth twitched and he looked at Su Xuyan with an inscrutable glint in his eyes. “In that case, you should cherish your lady well and I’ll do the same with mine. I’m getting married soon. I’ll send you two the invites when they’re ready.”

Bai Rong blinked in surprise, her once tranquil gaze becoming slightly disturbed as she stared at Gu Mingchen.

Filled with no small amount of shock, Su Xuyan blurted out, “You’re getting married? With who?”

“That’s none of your business. Anyway, take care of yourself,” Gu Mingchen replied in a meaningful tone and walked past them.

Lieutenant Song hurriedly opened the door of the backseat.

Without even sparing a glance at Bai Rong, Gu Mingchen slid into the car, completely void of expression.

Bai Rong’s back was as stiff as a rod and there was a buzzing sound in her ears, yet, she did not turn around either.

Gu Mingchen’s car passed by them again before whizzing away.

Bai Rong watched on as his car drove further and further.

She had always hoped that Gu Mingchen could forget her, settle down with a suitable woman and live happily ever after.

He was finally going to marry another woman and sever all ties with her. However, her heart was hurting instead.

She was hurting so much she felt as though an entire mountain was weighing her down, choking off her windpipe and making her struggle to draw air into her lungs. However, she had to pretend to be unaffected. The amount of energy it took her to remain calm caused her palms to become clammy with sweat.
