You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 231

Bai Rong was speechless for a moment.

“I don’t know him that well. Let’s get back to the topic, shall we? His ex-girlfriend’s father is a geologist and knows Lu Xingzhou. Now, Xingzheng Construction is trying to get that piece of land from their company. I suspect the land is where Tangqian Village’s map indicated,” explained Bai Rong briefly.

“His ex-girlfriend? Does that means he’s single now?” uttered Gu Mingchen icily.

Bai Rong exhaled. “I think he has a girlfriend. I’m not that close to him. Besides, I’m married to a soldier. Why are you overthinking things?”

“I’m glad you know that. I’ll keep an eye on that piece of land. We can requisition it so no one will get it,” Gu Mingchen said without hesitation.

Bai Rong was delighted at his decisiveness. Chuckling, she added, “I’m going back to the military base now. Tomorrow, I’ll be going to Jadeborough. Lu Xingzhou’s hometown is there. I’m going to be his son’s tutor from Monday to Friday. We can only meet during weekends.”

“Mm, good. I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave you there for three months.”

Bai Rong was confused. Huh? He said it isn’t a good idea to leave me there alone for three months. So why is it good, then?

“Huh?” she grunted.

Gu Mingchen replied calmly, “I’ll come along with you.”

Bai Rong’s heart started pounding furiously.

She was indeed worried about going to Jadeborough for three months.

Gu Mingchen might be on the military base, but Zhou Hailan was in A City. She was also a smooth- talker and had access to the military base. Bai Rong was worried.

She wasn’t that magnanimous enough to leave her husband together with his first love.

After hearing Gu Mingchen’s words, her heart soared with joy.

“What about your work? Can you leave?” asked Bai Rong in concern.

“You said that piece of land has a treasure hidden in it, right? I will station my troops there to protect it. Spending three months there is normal for a business trip,” explained Gu Mingchen to ease her worry.

Bai Rong was touched. Should I tell him about Zhou Hailan’s request?

After pondering for a while, she decided not to. I should wait and see how things go.

“Okay, that’s all, then. We’ll talk once I’m back in the base.” Immediately after Bai Rong hung up, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was a call from Su Xuyan, she hesitated for a while before answering it.

“Where are you? Let’s meet up for lunch today,” said Su Xuyan jovially.

“Su Xuyan, I need to tell you something. Gu Mingchen and I are still legally married. As he’s a soldier, it’s terribly hard to get a divorce. If you really like me, please forget about me. I don’t want to add on to the existing troubles. Life is hard enough for me as it is.” Bai Rong went straight to the point.

After a brief silence, Su Xuyan chuckled. “What if I tell you I’ve found your child that you bore with Gu Mingchen?” NôvelDrama.Org content.

“Really?” Bai Rong was in disbelief.

Su Xuyan declared, “It’s easy to run a DNA test nowadays. I won’t lie to you. You can only choose between Gu Mingchen and your son. I’ll be waiting at our house. One hour later, if you don’t show up, I’ll disappear from your life. The same goes for your son.” He hung up right after saying that.

Bai Rong stared ahead blankly with her hand hanging mid-air.

Her mind was a mess as she came to a stop by the road.

I can head to Su Xuyan’s house at once, but I’m afraid he might resort to force.

If I ignore his order, I might miss the opportunity to see my son.

I can also ask Gu Mingchen to find out where our son is.

If Su Xuyan dares to hurt our son, we won’t let him off easily.

But I dare not risk our son’s life.

He told me to choose between Gu Mingchen and our son. Gu Mingchen is a soldier, so we can’t get a divorce. There’s still time.

Her thoughts were all jumbled up, so she decided to give Su Xuyan a call.

The moment the call went through, a cute voice spoke. “Hello. Mr. Su said you’re my mommy?”

Bai Rong’s heart sank. “Hello, darling. How old are you?”

“Five and a half years old. Mommy, don’t you know how old I am? Aren’t you supposed to be my mommy?” the little boy demanded.

Bai Rong felt terribly guilty. “Darling, can you hand the phone to Mr. Su?”

Su Xuyan took the call.

“Su Xuyan, show me a photo of my son. How can I be sure that he’s my son?” Bai Rong demanded.

“I did a DNA test. Of course I’m sure,” said Su Xuyan confidently.

“Well, I think you’re lying. Where did you find my son?” Bai Rong tried to sound him out.

“If you want to know the details, you’ll have to come personally. Bai Rong, I won’t give you too much time. I know how capable Gu Mingchen is. One hour later, if you don’t show up, your son will be sent away. Think about it. If I find out that you’ve informed Gu Mingchen about this matter, you’ll never see your son again.”

“Don’t be too brash now. There must be other options, right?” Bai Rong asked anxiously.

“Nope. Choose between your son and Gu Mingchen. Ponder over it carefully,” said Su Xuyan. He then cut the line without hesitation.

Bai Rong whipped out her notebook and wrote down the pros and cons. As she was concerned, her mind was already in turmoil. Time ticked away, and her anxiety heightened. In the end, she punched on the steering wheel in annoyance.

She could no longer control her emotions. As she took out her pills and poured some into her palm, she came to a decision.

I might not give birth to a child anymore, so I will choose my son. Gu Mingchen is capable enough to find us. He will find us.

After swallowing the pills, she calmed down gradually. A sharp glint flashed across her eyes.

Then, she called Liu Yan.

“Yan, if you’re forced to choose between your son and your husband, who will you choose?” inquired Bai Rong.

Her goal was to leave a discreet hint to Gu Mingchen. That way, Su Xuyan wouldn’t know about it.

“You only have one son, but you can have plenty of husbands. I’ll choose my son, of course. Besides, I gave birth to him myself. That means he’s more precious than anyone in this world,” Liu Yan answered without hesitation. “What’s wrong?”

“Thank you. I know who to pick now.” Frowning, Bai Rong hung up.
