You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 138

Everyone said that time was the best medicine to forget pain.

Then, how long would it take to forget pain?

How long would it take to forget a person?

Which road was the correct path for her to take?

How many jobs must a person have before finding the most suitable one?

She wanted to study psychology overseas.

She knew that she was sick—an illness had manifested in her mind.

She could not rely on anyone else. Only her and her alone could save and redeem herself.

But she would need a large sum of money to go overseas. Furthermore, it was competitive to secure a spot in a college.

The psychology courses in the United States were much more advanced than A City’s.

Psychology clinics were already pervasive in the United States twenty years before A City.

Going for therapy was as common as taking medicine for a cold.

After being discharged from the hospital, she called Mu Xiaosheng and expressed her wish to go overseas. She wanted to study in the best psychology school in the United States and hoped that Mr. Mu could make arrangements for her. After graduating, she would work in Mu Xiaosheng’s Research Institute of Psychology.

The generous Mu Xiaosheng agreed immediately.

At the start of the year, Bai Rong resigned from her job at the prosecutor’s office and joined Mu Xiaosheng’s research institute.

She was good with her studies, so she aced the IELTS easily.

By the third of March, she had already finished all necessary procedures and was going to fly to the United States.

Mu Xiaosheng, Liu Yan… and Su Xuyan were there to send her off.

“Have you saved the phone number? When you reach there, my alumni will receive you and help you settle your dormitory and school-related matters. The Americans are very open and they like girls from A City a lot.” Reminded Mu Xiaosheng with a meaningful look.

Bai Rong smiled. “Are you scared that I’ll find a husband there and not return? Don’t worry. I have already signed the contract which states that I have to work for you for five years. I’ll definitely return.”

“Rong, remember to video call me every week. When I have my month-long break, I’ll visit you in the States. You must take care of yourself. If anyone’s courting you, you must grab the opportunity. Anyway, it’s alright to date people without marrying them.” Said Liu Yan.

“You should find a good man quickly too.” Bai Rong said to Liu Yan.

She looked at Su Xuyan.

Su Xuyan had a lot of things to tell Bai Rong. However, the words seem to be stuck in his throat.

The normally charismatic and talkative man actually could not say anything now.

As someone who had never loved a woman, he now knew the feeling of falling in love with someone.

“Su Xuyan.” Bai Rong spoke first and called out his name. “From now on, you don’t owe me anything.”

Liu Yan turned back and glanced at Su Xuyan.

She still did not like Su Xuyan very much, probably because what he had done in the past was too horrible.

As his eyes followed Bai Rong into the arrival hall, Su Xuyan still could not utter a single word.

However, he did something that infuriated Liu Yan.

Su Xuyan had already bought a plane ticket to the United States. Furthermore, he even bought a first-class ticket for the same flight as Bai Rong’s.

He used the first-class ticket to swap with the passenger next to Bai Rong and sat on the seat beside her.

Bai Rong looked at him in surprise.

“I have a villa in the United States where you can stay at. If you like it, I can transfer its ownership to you.” Su Xuyan said gently.

Bai Rong was very calm. “Su Xuyan, I don’t hate you, nor do I blame you. However, I will never fall in love with you again.”

“Then, will you fall in love with Gu Mingchen again?” Su Xuyan knitted his brows together tightly.

“No.” Replied Bai Rong rationally. “Although I might not be smart or logical enough, I know I’ll trip over again in the same place as I did before.”

“Then I’ll move all the rocks away to keep you safe.” Su Xuyan promised.

Bai Rong laughed. “If you want to move the rocks, it’s your problem. Not wanting to fall is what I desire. There’s no need for me to revisit a scenery which I have experienced before. The world is really big and I want to explore it.”

“Then we can be friends, right?” Su Xuyan tried to settle for the next best thing.

“I don’t think that my future husband would like me to remain friends with my ex-husband.” Bai Rong said coldly.

“So, when you said that you don’t hate or blame me anymore, you actually meant for me to disappear from your life completely? You still hate me, don’t you?” Su Xuyan asked angrily.

Bai Rong did not speak. She only leaned against the chair, reclined it and looked at the window.

Her words could not prevent others from hurting her.

However, as someone who no longer feared death, would she still be afraid of being hurt?

Bai Rong was indestructible now.

Su Xuyan could not persuade her at all.

He now knew exactly how Bai Rong felt about him at the start.

She loved him, yet he ignored her love. Like him now, Bai Rong must have been driven mad by him back then.

He could barely endure one minute of it. How did Bai Rong live through those three years?

“Bai Rong, I’ll wait for you. I’ll wait for you for three, ten or even thirty years.” Su Xuyan said.

This was the last thing he said after sending her off to the United States.

Time flew past quickly.

Within just three years, Bai Rong graduated with a PhD in psychology.

She was an exemplary student in the teachers’ eyes and a goddess-like existence amongst the students.

Her hypnosis skills were already top-notch.

During her three years in the United States, she even helped the FBI solve four sensational cases, including a dismemberment crime that shocked the entire world.

Within a short time, Bai Rong’s name became famous in the industry.

The FBI sent her an invitation to join them.

The school wished for her to stay as well.

Yet, she chose to go back to A City as she had promised Mu Xiaosheng to work for him for five years.

On the day she returned, she did not inform anyone when she boarded the plane. She even bought a first-class ticket for her return flight.

In those three years, other than studying, she worked part-time in a clinic.

The school also awarded her a lot of scholarships.

After she became famous, she even treated a few millionaires.

Her savings grew to 5.2 million.

She did not want to treat herself badly anymore.

Her first-class seat was separated from others. Not only could the chair allow her to lie down, it also had a massaging function. The television above her was extremely clear and the suite was even turbulent-proof and soundproof. There was even an air stewardess who specially served her.

Bai Rong cut the steak elegantly and enjoyed the red wine as she listened to Moonlight Sonata on the piano.

She was twenty-eight this year and single, after having experienced a marriage, a divorce and two relationships.

All of a sudden, the air stewardess suddenly appeared on the television and made an urgent announcement, “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is an emergency call. There is a woman going into labor now. We need a gynecologist.”

Bai Rong placed her cutleries down.

She had not touched a scalpel in four years and was worried that she would not be up for the task.

However, she wanted to check if there was any doctor around first and pushed the compartment door open.

A pregnant lady, who was also in the first-class carriage, was lying on the floor.

She was gripping Gu Mingchen’s arm tightly. Her water had already broken and her face was twisted in agony.

“Xue, don’t be afraid. There’ll definitely be a doctor around.” consoled Gu Mingchen.

Bai Rong did not expect them to meet like that…
