You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 102

Su Xuyan was already there when Bai Rong reached the Jindu Club.

When he saw her, he was stunned.

This was a woman who did not usually put on any makeup. Even the way she dressed was very plain. He had never seen her wear anything like that before.

She looked so sexy, enchanting, presentable, noble and pure. No woman he had ever come across was more beautiful than how Bai Rong looked tonight.

Besides, she was already a natural beauty.

Xing Bachuan married Bai Bing for her stunning good looks.

It seemed like Bai Rong had inherited all the good genes from her parents.

She sat down opposite Su Xuyan.

A devilish smile appeared on the man’s face. He poured her some red wine and said, “I was surprised that you would ask me out.”

Bai Rong downcast her eyes. “Why not? We never had any deep grudge against each other anyway.”

Su Xuyan let out a laugh and leaned casually against the chair. “Just come clean. What do you need my help with?”

The woman remained silent. She swirled her wine glass and a layer of mist formed on her eyes. The world she saw through the wine glass seemed distorted.

The more Bai Rong kept quiet, the more unfathomable she seemed to Su Xuyan, and he found it very attractive.

He grabbed her hand. Seeing that she didn’t resist, he sat next to her.

Bai Rong looked at him. The look in her eyes was still as cold as it used to be, but there was an allure that wasn’t there before.

That was a kind of charm only Bai Rong had and was what the man had been searching for all along.

Emotions surged through his heart and Su Xuyan leaned in to kiss her on her lips.

Before he could do that, Bai Rong put a finger on his lips and said, “I do have something important to tell you tonight.”

“What is it?” He stared at her intoxicatedly. “Do you know how charming you look right now? I can’t believe I have neglected such a precious treasure all these while. Is it too late for me to regret it now?”

“I am going home.” She said unemotionally.

“Home? Whose home? My home? You know you are always welcomed.” Su Xuyan said with a bewitching smile.

“Not your house. I mean Xing Bachuan’s house. I am going to take back everything that belongs to me.” Bai Rong said resolutely.

Su Xuyan felt dubious. “You have never identified yourself as the Governor’s daughter previously. You didn’t even mention anything about it to Liu Yan. But you are actually thinking of going back to Xing Bachuan now? Why?”

“I finally learned the hard truths of life. Will you help me?” The woman asked.

He leaned closer to her. Gazing at her red and moist lips, he said in an intimate tone, “What are you going to give me in return?”

“What do you want from me? You know I don’t have anything. If I wasn’t desperate enough, I wouldn’t even remember that the Governor is my father.” Bai Rong self-deprecated.

“Bai Rong, I realized I am liking you more and more. Be my woman.” Su Xuyan’s breathing grew heavier as he leaned forward to kiss her.

Bai Rong stood up and looked at him coldly.

When he was chasing her, that was what he said to her too. What happened after that?

“I want to be recognized as Xing Bachuan’s daughter and that makes you my future brother-in-law. It’s more appropriate for us to keep some distance. For me to enter the Xing Family, Xing Jinnian would be a big obstacle. I need your help to persuade her.”

Su Xuyan’s expression hardened.

The man did not like to be rejected by women. He lifted his glass and gulped down in one go before he said in a threatening tone, “I can help you, but what about what I want?”

“Mr. Su does not lack women.” Bai Rong rejected him flatly.

He stood up as well and sized her up. “Gu Mingchen and Su Wanning are getting married soon. Are you still harboring hopes about being with him?”

“I know very well who is worth waiting for, protecting and worthy of my love. President Su does not have to worry about this. I shall go and get the bill now.” Bai Rong said as she walked towards the door.

The man grabbed her arm and said, “Why are you in a hurry? We only sat down for half an hour. We still have two and a half hours more. Stay and have a good meal together.”

The woman sat down reluctantly.

While Su Xuyan was ordering food, Bai Rong checked the video taken by the surveillance camera that was sent to her phone. It should be enough to convince Xing Bachuan that it wasn’t a done deal that Xing Jinnian would marry this man.

“Where have you been these few days?” Su Xuyan asked.

“I don’t have to report to you.” Bai Rong turned off the surveillance camera and put her phone in her bag.

“Let me guess. Gu Mingchen brought you to Tangqian Village and found Tang Xiaojiu there.” Su Xuyan said and let out a laugh.

“How did you know that?” Bai Rong looked at him in shock with a flash of doubt in her eyes.

“Gu Mingchen’s parents might not want him to find the killer. As for the person who killed Tang Xiaojiu, who do you think it was? Gu Tianhang? Or Su Zheng?” He let out another laugh.

“I think it could be you too.”

Keeping his poise, the man poured himself more red wine and said, “If it was me, I would have killed Gu Mingchen directly. If I were to commit a murder, it wouldn’t make a difference who I kill anyway.”

What he said made sense to Bai Rong.

Just then, her phone rang. She saw that it was Gu Mingchen and her eyes darkened, unable to conceal her sadness.

Su Xuyan narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Rong coldly.

She did not pick up the call and straight away cancelled it.

The corners of Su Xuyan’s mouth twitched and he said, “I remember telling you not to get involved with Gu Mingchen. He is not someone you can handle. His family will never accept you. Why are you inviting humiliation on your own?”

The woman lifted her glass and bottomed up the red wine.

Then, she saw a message from Gu Mingchen and she opened it.

He texted: Is everything OK? Are you at home? I’ll be there in ten minutes.

As Bai Rong stood up, Su Xuyan blocked her way and looked at her menacingly. “You’re not allowed to leave.”

“I need to talk to him. I can’t keep avoiding it.” She said as her eyes turned red.

“OK. Make it clear with him.” He stood aside to let her pass.

After the woman walked out, Su Xuyan gritted his teeth and called Xing Jinnian. “Come to Jindu Club.”

When Bai Rong reached home, Gu Mingchen was already standing at her door, smiling at her.

She could feel her heart aching.

He was so good, so good, so good…

She walked up to him, put her arms around his waist and nuzzled her head in the man’s chest, feeling his warmth.

Bai Rong recalled the first time they met, Gu Mingchen also hugged her this way and told her he would protect her.

He kept that promise and protected her time after time.

She never used to like remembering the past, as all she had were bad memories that only made her grow more despondent.

However, she loved reminiscing now. Those cherished memories would carry her through difficult times ahead.

“Are we going to continue standing here?” Gu Mingchen said gently and broke her thoughts.

“I want to keep hugging you like this.” Bai Rong softly replied.

“What happened? Where did you go today? Why are you dressed like that?” He asked.

She snapped out of her trance and opened the door.

“I just wanted a makeover, so I went out and bought some cosmetics.” The woman said, as she walked into the bathroom.

Gu Mingchen followed her in and beamed at her. “You are beautiful even without makeup. I have seen you at your worst. Are you still worried that I would despise you?”

Bai Rong could feel tears welling up in her eyes. She closed her eyes and splashed her face with cold water.

The man passed her a towel and said, “Things went smoothly on my side today. I want to bring you home this week. Let’s fix a day for our marriage soon.”
