You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 86

Su Xuyan called Bai Rong when she was about to get off work.

In irritation, she asked, “What?”

“Let’s meet up after you’re done with work. I’m here.” Su Xuyan seemed to be in a happy mood.

“Today will be the second day of this week if we are to meet. Tomorrow is the weekend, so you will not be calling me right?” Bai Rong said to reaffirm that.

“Heh.” Su Xuyan chuckled. “Don’t worry, I’m a man of my word.”

“I’ll come out in a while.” Bai Rong frowned and threw her phone into the bag and left.

Liu Yan came over, “Where are you going? Are you not going back with me?”

“I need to settle some stuff. See you at home three hours later.” Bai Rong explained.

When she came out, Su Xuyan was already standing beside his car wearing a pair of shades and a golden suit. His charm was eye-catching, especially the bouquet of roses in his hand. He handed it towards her with a confident smirk, “For you.”

Bai Rong didn’t want to entertain his nonsense, so she took the flower from his hand and threw it into the trash bin.

“Where are we going?” She looked at her phone and started to countdown.

Su Xuyan stared at her proud appearance and opened the car door, “Get in.”

Bai Rong sat in the front passenger seat and fastened the seatbelt, before taking the jewelry box out from her bag and threw it into the storage box.

“Weren’t you looking cool when you threw the roses just now? Why don’t you throw the jewelry away since you don’t want it?” Su Xuyan said while looking ahead.

“If you want me to reimburse you for throwing away the flowers, I can still do it. But I can’t compensate you for throwing this jewelry away.” Bai Rong leaned against the chair and looked in front indifferently.

“Bai Rong, you are good at many things, but you’re too stubborn. You don’t know how to judge a situation. You’re gonna regret keeping this attitude now in the future.” Su Xuyan stared at Bai Rong and said significantly.

“Then let’s talk about this in the future.” She didn’t even look at him and said.

“I guess you’ve heard from Gu Mingchen, right?” Su Xuyan said abruptly.

“About what?” Bai Rong stared at him.

“About his engagement with Su Wanning. They’ve already set the date on the 9th next month. According to Wanning’s character, you should be receiving an invitation card from her.”

Bai Rong looked at Su Xuyan in disbelief, “You are all joking, right?”

Su Xuyan smirked and turned on the car music, “Look at you. It seems like Gu Mingchen still hasn’t told you.”

“I will not believe if he didn’t tell me himself. So don’t waste your time trying to drive a wedge between us.” Bai Rong said with determination.

Su Xuyan furrowed his brows, “Why didn’t you have that much trust in me back then?”

“Me not trusting you was a correct judgement, wasn’t it?” Bai Rong said sarcastically.

Hearing her, the man laughed, “At the very least, I didn’t play with your feelings and didn’t hide myself. If I didn’t want myself to be found, do you think you can find me that easily?”

“It was just because you didn’t bother to hide from me. I know that much.”

She didn’t even want to recall those past.

“Well, I’ll give you a chance to ask Gu Mingchen face to face.” Su Xuyan drove and said.

Bai Rong guarded, “Su Xuyan, what do you mean?”

“Today is my grandfather’s birthday celebration, so I’ll bring you there for a meal. Of course, if you don’t want to be there, I can let you watch an interesting show in the surveillance room. Since you don’t believe me, I shall let you see it for yourself.” Su Xuyan said determinedly.

Bai Rong frowned and said nothing.

She had decided to believe that Gu Mingchen did not betray her.

However, it was true that she could prove herself right if she could see it with her own eyes.

She believed Gu Mingchen would prove those people wrong. It would also save her some frustration as well since people were constantly telling her about him and Su Wanning.

Although she didn’t believe it, it didn’t mean that she didn’t care.

She hated rumors because they made her feel uncomfortable.

Su Xuyan didn’t bring her to the banquet hall, but to the surveillance room instead.

His grandfather was the retired Deputy Commander of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Although he was no longer in power, he was still widely respected and many politicians and entrepreneurs showed up at his birthday celebration.

Even though there were a lot of people, Bai Rong was able to spot Gu Mingchen, who was outstanding among the crowd.

He was dressed in a black suit with distinctive totems, especially that golden boutonniere which further set off his valiance and uprightness.

Next to him was Su Wanning in a tube top and fishtail dress, holding his arm.

They looked like a perfect match made for each other.

Bai Rong furrowed her brows.

“My grandfather will be announcing their engagement publicly today. Don’t you want to ask Gu Mingchen before that?” Su Xuyan suggested and smirked wickedly.

Bai Rong admitted that seeing Su Wanning and Gu Mingchen standing so close to each other made her lose her composure.

There were countless excuses to convince herself that they were just interacting normally.

But a normal interaction didn’t require holding hands.

Bai Rong took her phone from the bag and fixed her gaze on the screen while calling Gu Mingchen.

She saw him take out his phone and glanced at it.

But he didn’t answer her call. Instead, he muted it then kept the phone back in his pocket.

This behavior clearly showed that he didn’t want to answer her call.

Bai Rong’s heart sank, like there was a huge boulder pressing on top of her causing her to suffocate.

Her mind went blank as she put her phone down and stared closely at Gu Mingchen on the screen.

Su Xuyan sat on the table in front of her, “Bai Rong, I was thinking; if I have faked it like him in the beginning so you would never know that I had an affair, would you still love me?”

Not answering his question, Bai Rong turned her eyes and looked at him, “I want to enter the banquet hall.”

Su Xuyan smiled, “You better think about it carefully. If you are going to cause a big scene this time, not only would Gu Mingchen lose his face, my grandfather would be affected too. Men hate women who embarrass them.”

Bai Rong looked at him indifferently, “Do you think I will make a big fuss out of it?”

“That’s right. Your cold temperament really drives people up the wall. If you had shown me that you cared even just a little back then, perhaps I would have changed my ways.” Su Xuyan stared at her and lowered his eyes.

Bai Rong smirked sarcastically, “Never expect a scumbag to turn away from his ways. In fact, the rate of a sleaze turning back is the same of me receiving a second glance. So why would I care if a slimeball looks back? I wish you luck on the road of not turning back.”

“Never cut off all your means of escape. Leave some room for others so that they will do the same to you. Bai Rong, your emotional intelligence is really low.” Su Xuyan said meaningfully.

Bai Rong looked at Su Xuyan with slack eyes that didn’t focus. She didn’t know what emotional intelligence was.

She would love the person whole-heartedly when she was in love; but if she was not, she would never do things sloppily.

Like now, her heart was hurting so badly.

She wanted to ask Gu Mingchen face to face.

If he really lied to her, no matter how painful it would be, she would still get him out of her heart.

After all, she had just decided to start dating him, right?
