You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418 I Will Not Have Anyone Else After You

His tone immediately made her feel uncomfortable. Lips curling, she replied, “I’m sure it’s none of Mr. Su’s matter then I’m here, right?”

Realizing his mistake, Su Xuyan hastily said, “I was just curious. Ms. Wu, you don’t look like the kind who enjoys being in a place like this.”

“You don’t understand me, so how would you know if I don’t like it?” Bai Rong refuted.

Instantly, the atmosphere between them turned tense.

“President Su, do you two know each other?” one asked.

Su Xuyan shrugged. “Something like that.”

His gaze landing on Gu Mingchen, Su Xuyan uttered, “I heard you were here, so I came to toast to you. Mr. Gu, you must have had a lot of frustration recently, don’t you?”

“Does that have anything to do with you?” Gu Mingchen questioned.

“Of course it does. We’ve known each other for such a long time now. I’d hope for you to live a long life. How boring life would be without your companion.” With that, Su Xuyan clinked his glass against Gu Mingchen’s.

“You’re overthinking it. I’m definitely going to live longer than you. Busybodies tend to have a much shorter lifespan,” Gu Mingchen retorted.

At that, Su Xuyan chuckled, seemingly gloating. Then, he downed the glass before fixing his gaze on Wu Nian. “So you’re together with Gu Mingchen now?”

His pointed words made Bai Rong shudder, and she stared at him in silence with her lips pursed.

“She’s now my assistant,” Gu Mingchen replied for her.

“Assistant?” Su Xuyan’s expression darkened as he looked at Bai Rong. “When I invited you to be my assistant, you said you only know how to teach. So what are you doing right now? Ms. Wu, do you only sprout lies from those lips?”

“Everything changes in this world. If you want to be specific, Mr. Su, you’re not as charming as Mr. Gu is. Does this answer satisfy you?” Bai Rong responded icily.

At that, Su Xuyan’s expression turned even darker. Tossing the glass he was gripping into the bin, he warned, “You’ll regret this decision of yours.”

When the man left, Bai Rong’s face paled.

Su Xuyan was a petty man whose true nature hid behind a civilized exterior.

She feared Su Xuyan. After all, the man could do anything.

The gathering continued. It seemed like no one was affected by Su Xuyan’s abrupt appearance, but lingering anxiety still wrapped itself around Bai Rong’s heart.

“Nian, please help me get the lighter from the car,” Gu Mingchen said.

She froze.

Bai Rong did not like Gu Mingchen smoking, but she would be embarrassing him if she were to voice it to him while many were around them. Hence, she stood up and walked out. Before she reached the elevator, the man held her hand and dragged her to the balcony on the second floor.

“Don’t take what Su Xuyan said to heart,” he murmured.
