You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 32

“His family surely won’t accept a divorcee.” Bai Rong said in a self-knowing manner.

Liu Yan poked Bai Rong’s head, “Why are you so pedantic? You don’t even have a child with Su Xuyan. In this day and age, the divorcee is more favored than the unmarried.”

“Let’s talk about this another time. I’ve got to work.” Bai Rong said.

Liu Yan saw the gift bag on Bai Rong’s table. She took it out to have a look.

A Chanel pink gauze skirt was inside and it looked sumptuous. “Su Xuyan gave it to you?” Liu Yan asked in a contemptuous tone.

“Yeah.” Bai Rong didn’t even look at the skirt.

“Su Xuyan is lavish to women, but he is open-handed to more than one woman. You won’t relent, will you?” Liu Yan asked worriedly.

Bai Rong raised her head; the look in her eyes was as clear as water, “I have already given up on him. It is not a matter of being soft-hearted.”

Liu Yan gave Bai Rong a thumbs up and agreed, “That’s right. I will be observing him in the meantime and once the evidence of him cheating is in my hand, I’ll hand it over to you.”

“Thank you, I have nothing to do this afternoon. I will head to the law firm to consult the situation.”

“Go ahead.”

Bai Rong consulted the lawyer for the specific situation. The lawyer said that if there is evidence of the man engaging in extramarital affairs, the divorce would be mandatory. Luckily, it was not difficult to get evidence of Su Xuyan cheating.

Her phone rang right after she came out of the law firm.

“Where are you? I heard that you took a leave this afternoon?” Su Xuyan asked suspiciously.

She didn’t want to tell Su Xuyan that she was about to prepare for a divorce, lest he be on guard.

So she said perfunctorily, “Well, I wanted to catch some fresh air. I’m on my way back to the hospital now.”

“See you at the hospital entrance in half an hour.” The man said in displeasedness and hung up the call.

Bai Rong took a deep breath. She just had to bear with it a little longer. She had been enduring for so many years; a few more days made no difference.

She went back to the office and put on the clothes given by Su Xuyan. The phone rang and it was him again.

“Bai Rong, there has to be a limit for arrogance. I’ve been waiting for you for ten minutes.” Su Xuyan said angrily.

Bai Rong sneered. She waited for him for three years long; ten minutes was nothing. “I’ll be there in five minutes.” Bai Rong ignored his anger and hung up the call.

Su Xuyan got out of the car and looked at the exit then frowned. He got off work early to wait for her; wasn’t she pushing her luck? Right then, she came out from the exit.

A hint of fascination flashed across Su Xuyan’s eyes, glittering the beauty of his facial features. Bai Rong normally dressed herself in a mature look, but she was in fact only 24 years old.

The pink silk skirt suited her very well and the elegant material outlined her perfect figure. Especially the solid cutting until her knees, which made her calves look long and slender. She was exceptionally good looking when she dressed up. Beautiful things were pleasing to the eye. Su Xuyan cooled his temper and opened the car door.

Bai Rong got in the car and fastened the seatbelt then asked gently, “Where are you bringing me?”

“Peony Hall.” Su Xuyan smirked and said.

Peony Hall of New Century was the most exclusive and luxurious room in A City. It was not a place that could be booked by an ordinary person.

Bai Rong followed Su Xuyan into the room.

Xing Jinnian took Su Xuyan’s arm naturally and introduced him to Xing Bachuan with a smile, “Dad, he saved me yesterday.”

Xing Bachuan smiled in satisfaction and stretched out his hand, “Minister Su is a young talent from the Ministry of Health. I believe we’ve met once before. Nice to meet you and thank you for saving my daughter.”

Bai Rong stood at the door while watching them interacting intimately and smirked slightly. She seemed to have always been the unwanted one.

After Su Xuyan and Xing Bachuan shook hands, he squinted at Bai Rong who was standing at the door, “What are you doing over there? Come in.”

Xing Bachuan turned ashen when he saw Bai Rong, his smile froze on his face.

“Xuyan, who is she?” Xing Jinnian asked defensively.

“I mentioned her to you before. She is my wife, Bai Rong.” Su Xuyan said with a smile. He kept their ghastly expression under his eyes.

Xing Bachuan glanced at Xing Jinnian in discontentment. He thought that she hooked up with a young talent from the Ministry of Health as soon as she came back, but it turned out that he already had a wife. Furthermore, his wife was his unwanted biological daughter. He was feeling sick all over.

Su Xuyan pulled Bai Rong over and seated her down. The atmosphere was strangely depressing. “Bachuan, sorry that I’m late.” Gu Tianhang walked in and apologized.

Seeing that it was Gu Tianhang, Xing Bachuan immediately got up to greet him and shook hands with him tightly. His cold face turned warm at once like flipping a book. “Your presence here is the greatest honor.”

Xing Bachuan looked behind Gu Tianhang. He has got no time to withdraw his smile. “Like father like son. I’m honored to see the gallantry of the Chief. Please sit.” Xing Bachuan said hypocritically.

Bai Rong looked at Gu Mingchen in surprise. She did not expect to meet him here.

His expression was tense, grim and there was no smile on his face. He glanced at her lightly and moved his eyes away as if he didn’t know her.

“Chief Gu, I haven’t seen you for ages.” Su Xuyan smiled and deliberately held on Bai Rong’s shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

“We’re not that close.” Gu Mingchen sat down proudly right across from Bai Rong; his alienated aura gave him an unruly height.

Not close. These two words made Bai Rong’s heart tremble faintly. She seemed to recall saying these two words to Gu Mingchen too. Even so, he still helped her to resolve the dispute in the hospital. She lowered her eyes.

Xing Bachuan looked at Gu Mingchen then turned to look at Xing Jinnian with a pair of thievish eyes, “Chief Gu is young and promising. I wonder if you have a girlfriend?”

“I have a fiancée.” He raised his head and looked at Xing Bachuan with a cold look, then took a quick glance at Bai Rong.

Her face was calm as if him having a fiancée had nothing to do with her. Was she really not close with him? His face became colder, then he poured a glass of red wine for himself and drank it in one gulp.

“What?” Xing Bachuan was quite disappointed. “When did this even happen? Gu, why haven’t I heard it from you before?”

“I’ll leave the children’s matter to themselves. I can’t say for sure either. However, I’m planning to announce this at the banquet tomorrow night.” Gu Tianhang said happily.

“So he has a fiancée.” Su Xuyan picked up his glass then motioned to Gu Mingchen and said in a suggestive tone, “You must have a good relationship with your fiancée that the both of you are unaffected after all these. You have my respect. Cheers to you.”

Gu Mingchen did not pick up his glass.

Su Xuyan felt snubbed, “By the way, thank you for saving my wife yesterday. She hid herself in my embrace and covered her face with tears as if she was under tremendous grievance. She must be traumatized by what happened last night.”

Gu Mingchen shifted his sharp gaze towards Bai Rong and grasped the glass tighter, “I guess she was actually frightened by what happened this morning instead.”
