You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 The Power Of Love

Bai Rong smiled and didn’t shy away from his menacing gaze. “You haven’t changed at all. You’re still the same Su Xuyan I remember. Where do you think I can even go?”

Su Xuyan detected the sarcasm and hostility in her eyes.

You’re still the same Su Xuyan I remember. The effect of her words was like a bomb being set off in his head, frying his nerves.

I’ve changed so much for her. Can’t she see it?

“Where did you go? Tell me!” Su Xuyan spat angrily.

He looked as though he was a second away from throwing her into the pits of hell if she didn’t answer.

Bai Rong maintained calm as she looked at him. “I went to do what I needed to do.”

“And what exactly did you need to do?” Su Xuyan prodded.

“Oh, too many to count. Which one would you like to listen to first?” Bai Rong arched a brow.

Su Xuyan couldn’t read her. He felt like there was a gaping distance between them and she would vanish into thin air at any moment.

Desperation clawed at him and he wanted to do something to prove that she was still his.

With that, he leaned in to kiss her lips.

Bai Rong instinctively turned her head to the side.

Her reaction only served to anger Su Xuyan. The next moment, he grabbed her chin and forcefully sealed her lips with his own. Making use of her surprise, he plunged his tongue into her mouth and brutally kissed her.

Being forced into a kiss, anger surged in her.

However, she couldn’t push him away.

Her resistance only seemed to provoke Su Xuyan, causing him to become rougher. If he decided to force himself onto her, there was no way she could escape.

Hence, she took a gamble and kissed him back.

Startled, Su Xuyan’s eyes widened as he looked at her in shock.

Bai Rong quickly closed her eyes before he could discern her true intentions. Otherwise, she would lose the battle before it even began.

Bright passion flickered in Su Xuyan’s eyes and he kissed her even harder, his grip on her arms instantly loosening.

She took the opportunity to switch their positions, pressing Su Xuyan against the wall.

He grabbed her waist and pulled her tighter against his body.

When she felt his arousal press against her belly, she abruptly released him and took a step back.

Su Xuyan grabbed her waist again. The anger in his eyes had disappeared and was replaced by heavy desire.

“Rong, I want you,” Su Xuyan said hoarsely. His Adam’s apple bobbed and his lips parted as his breath came in shallow and uneven gasps.

“I can’t right now. It’s that time of the month,” Bai Rong replied with knitted eyebrows. Worry crept into her heart because she had forgotten to wear a sanitary pad. If Su Xuyan were to unravel her deception, there would be no escape for her.

She peered at Su Xuyan with wariness.

It was obvious that his lust had overpowered his rationality when he brushed his thumb across her plump lips and said, “Use this.”

Bai Rong was a grown woman after all, so she immediately caught his meaning.

She looked away and rejected, “Three more months.”

“Did you use your mouth to relieve Gu Mingchen when the two of you were together?” Su Xuyan asked in a low voice that kept his emotions well hidden.

Why is he asking me this?

Although she couldn’t see through his intentions, she knew that Su Xuyan would get mad if she told him the truth and she would be in danger again.

“I’ve always had a more passive character,” Bai Rong offered him a cryptic reply.

A grin spread across Su Xuyan’s lips. “Then I’ll make sure to slowly teach you in the future. I’m gonna go shower. Change your clothes. I’m bringing you out tonight. Also, I still hope you’ll tell me where you went.”

It was the same question, but he was much calmer and easier to talk to as compared to earlier. His dangerous aura had also diminished significantly.

Bai Rong nodded.

Su Xuyan let go of her waist and turned to go into the bathroom. He took a cold shower and felt slightly helpless. It had been many years since he had been with a woman. His engorged lower region felt uncomfortable and the cold shower did not seem to be helping. Thus, he closed his eyes and recalled the way Bai Rong had kissed him just now, jerking himself off to the memory.

…

While he was in the shower, Bai Rong quickly changed her clothes and wore a sanitary pad.

All the while, she racked her brains to come up with a believable explanation for his question.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Xuyan came out of the shower and looked at her with bright eyes that were filled with tender warmth and the remnants of his earlier desire.

Bai Rong tried her best to remain calm where she stood.

He grabbed her waist again and pulled her toward his body that was still damp from water vapor. “I think it’s time you told me where you went today.”

“To visit my mom,” Bai Rong answered.

Su Xuyan frowned, finding it hard to believe. “You visited your mom dressed like that?”

“She’s still receiving treatment now, but she’s recovering well and looks much better, so I don’t think it’s the right time for her to see me yet. Not until she’s fully recovered.”

Su Xuyan still did not believe her as he scrutinized her expressionless face. “Why didn’t you bring your phone then?”

“I didn’t want to be disturbed,” Bai Rong boldly claimed.

“By me? Or are you lying to me now?” Su Xuyan asked solemnly.

Bai Rong’s lips tugged into a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. Instead, there was a hint of ridicule in it. “Do you know why I didn’t want to tell you?

“Many people believe what they want to believe and instinctively reject everything else. To them, the truth doesn’t matter. What matters most is their own version of the truth.

“So, Su Xuyan, since you’ve already made your own speculations and settled on your version of the truth, you won’t believe me no matter what I say. And honestly, I don’t care.”

Sensing the anger radiating off her, Su Xuyan coaxed, “Alright. Let’s just forget about this then. I just get really anxious every time I can’t find you. While I was waiting here with your phone in my hand, countless possibilities flashed across my mind and every one of them didn’t only made me feel worse. I felt like I was going crazy with worry. You know, I used to be a very confident person, but you made me lose my confidence.”

Bai Rong lowered her gaze.

The world was full of liars, hypocrites and schemers. Unwittingly, she had become all three of those.

Because of the person she loved, she was willing to hurt others. Hence, she wasn’t some kind of noble person.

“You should give up on me, Su Xuyan. I’m not worth it,” Bai Rong uttered frostily.

Su Xuyan held Bai Rong’s hand and kissed the corner of her mouth before flashing a devilish smile at her. “I’m willing to spend my entire life just to get you back. Even if I fail, we’re bound for life.”

She withdrew her hand and kept her eyes down, concealing the thoughts that threatened to overwhelm her.

“C’mon. Let’s go out for dinner.”

Bai Rong followed him to a private lounge in the hotel. Upon seeing Xing Bachuan and the whole family, her gaze turned chilly.

Su Xuyan always liked to arrange unpleasant surprises for her. The worst part was that he seemed to find pleasure in it.

What little guilt she had toward him for lying dissipated in an instant.

“Xuyan, why did you bring her here?” Xing Jinnian was the first to express her discontent, standing up to point at Bai Rong whilst glaring vehemently at her.

“Didn’t you all invite me to dinner? Am I not allowed to bring my female companion?” Su Xuyan curled an arm around Bai Rong’s waist and leaned down to peck her on the cheek. This was to demonstrate his relationship with Bai Rong in front of Xing Bachuan and the others.
