You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 We’re In The Same Boat

She continued sobbing for over ten minutes. When she finally exited the stall, her face was full of tears and snot. Her eyes were swollen and red. In a daze, she walked out and headed to the sink to wash her face.

Looking up, she stared at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. Touching her own face in the mirror, she uttered gently, “Don’t be sad. Gu Mingchen is gone, but I’ll always be with you to protect you. From today onward, no one can harm you.”

A cleaner walked in and glanced at her strangely.

Bai Rong shot her a glare and straightened her back before walking out.

As the door slammed shut, she heard the cleaner muttering, “She must be crazy.”

Immediately, Bai Rong’s body trembled profusely. Pushing the door open, she glared at the cleaner and demanded, “What did you say?”

As Bai Rong was furious, the cleaner denied having said that. “I said nothing. What’s wrong?”

“If I hear you saying that again, I’ll sue you for libel,” Bai Rong warned her and spun on her heels to leave. She strode back to room 203 angrily.

The breakfast spread that Su Xuyan ordered earlier had been served. He wasn’t eating and was focused on his phone until Bai Rong came in. Spotting her reddened eyes, he inquired, “Did you cry?”

“Don’t bother. It’s just how I vent my emotions. I’ve accepted the truth after crying.” Bai Rong pulled out a chair and sat across from him.

Su Xuyan gave a half-smile and placed his phone on the table. He inquired, “What have you accepted?”

“If I want to survive, I need to submit to you,” Bai Rong replied, her face devoid of expression.

Su Xuyan still had his doubts. “Are you sure?”

“You cannot falsify the truth, nor verify lies. Let’s finish breakfast and rest at home. From now on, we’re in the same boat.” Bai Rong declared sternly.

Su Xuyan entwined his fingers with hers.

It seemed that he was pleased to hear her say she’d fight by his side.

Su Xuyan said lightly, “Rong, have you ever thought about this? We’ve been together after all that we’ve gone through. Perhaps we’re meant to be together.”

Bai Rong didn’t refute his words. The corner of her mouth quirked up as she replied, “Perhaps you’re right. No one knows what will happen in the future. We need to cherish what we have at this moment.”

“I will cherish you. I swear on my heart. If you stay by my side, I won’t leave you, ever,” Su Xuyan gave her his solemn promise.

A grin flitted across Bai Rong’s lips.

For a loving couple, making a promise would be a sweet gesture.

But if they weren’t in love, a promise would end up being a burden.

After breakfast, Su Xuyan left while Bai Rong went shopping for clothes.

When she arrived at the mall, it was still too early. She took a seat at a nearby bench and observed the passers-by and cars driving past her. The weather was just nice, so in no time she felt like dozing off.

“Hello.” A young boy scooted over on his skateboard and brandished a lipstick. “Can you use this lipstick and leave a mark on my shirt?”

Instead of taking the lipstick from him, Bai Rong knitted her brows. “Shouldn’t you be at school?”

The young boy had a strange expression on his face. “Please, I need your help. If you agree to help me, you can have this lipstick.”

As his eyes kept darting sideways, Bai Rong noticed there were two other boys watching them closely.

“Did you get into a bet with your friends?” She tried guessing.

A shy smile appeared on his face. “They said you’re pretty. We agreed to bet one hundred.”

Bai Rong asked, “Do you think pretty girls will like boys who skip class?”

The boy fell silent.
