You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 235

“I need to wrap things up. So give me three months,” Bai Rong insisted.

She had given up halfway on many things—her love for Su Xuyan, her love for Gu Mingchen, and her work.

After faking her death, she would no longer return to A City. Hence, she had to wrap things up and leave no regrets behind.

“Okay. I’ll give you three months’ time. I’ll send Tian away for now. Bai Rong, don’t do anything that you’ll regret or inform Gu Mingchen about this. Otherwise, there’s no turning back,” Su Xuyan reminded her.

Bai Rong inclined her head. “I’ll go back for now. Tomorrow, I’ll be going to Jadeborough.”

“Let me give you a ride back to the military base.” Su Xuyan opened the door.

“No need. I can drive back myself.” Bai Rong was staring at Tian, who was seated in his chair obediently.

He was gazing at them hopefully, afraid they would abandon him.

Bai Rong went over to him and kissed his forehead. “I have to attend to some matters. Tian, wait for me. A few months later, we will live together happily ever after.”

Tian jumped down from his chair and flung his little arms around her. “I have a mommy. No one will bully me from now on. Even if we have to live under the bridge, I am happy with that!”

Bai Rong caressed his head affectionately. “I’m not that poor. We won’t be living under a bridge. You’ll go to school and marry a wife later. You’ll be a useful person to society!”

“Alright. I’ll be a good boy as long as you promise not to abandon me,” Tian declared in his boyish voice.

Bai Rong pecked his forehead once again before heading toward the door.

Su Xuyan had booked a car ride for her.

She entered the car and left the villa.

Throughout the whole journey, Bai Rong leaned back in her seat and pondered over Su Xuyan’s words.

Three months later, Tian and I will lead a peaceful life. That might be the most blissful thing ever.

Her phone rang abruptly, interrupting her thoughts.

As the caller ID showed it was Gu Mingchen, she answered it.

“When will you be here?” Gu Mingchen inquired tenderly.

Bai Rong looked out the window and estimated the time needed. “A few hours. What’s wrong?”

“My mom wants to meet you for dinner. I can reject her invitation if you don’t feel like going.”

“It’s fine. We can meet her for dinner.” Bai Rong agreed.

Previously, when she was with Gu Mingchen, she would always deliberate carefully before speaking or taking any actions. But now that she had decided to leave, nothing else mattered anymore. There’s no need to make things difficult for Gu Mingchen. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“There’s no need for you to come here, then. We’ll meet at Jade Restaurant in Shuiyue International two hours later.”

“Sure.” Bai Rong hung up. She only had to bring some clothes, so there was enough time to pack up after dinner.

After arriving at Shuiyue International, she bought three outfits and some cosmetics. She also picked a tube of lipstick for Song Xiyu.

Then, she headed to Jade Restaurant.

Song Xiyu arrived at the same time, so they bumped into each other outside the restaurant.

Bai Rong gave her a polite nod.

“Come with me,” Song Xiyu ordered arrogantly and strode into the private room. She gave the menu to Bai Rong. “You can order anything you want.”

“I don’t mind. You can make the order.” Bai Rong returned the menu to her.

Song Xiyu sensed something was amiss. Bai Rong doesn’t seem as sharp and cold as she was this morning. In fact, she has softened down a lot.

Frowning, she ticked on a few dishes on the menu and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter left to prepare their order.

Song Xiyu stared at her sternly. “I’ve been mulling over your words.”

“I’m sorry for my harsh words.” Bai Rong took out the lipstick and placed it in front of Song Xiyu. “I bought it for you when I was shopping earlier. This color suits your complexion.”

“I was rude to you,” Song Xiyu reminded her coolly.

“When I got mad, I’d be reminded of how bad you treated me. But when I stood in your shoes, I realized you’ve done all you could. You’ve sacrificed a lot for your family, your husband, and your son,” Bai Rong said with a gentle smile on her face.

Song Xiyu narrowed her gaze defensively. “Are you trying to flatter me?”

Bai Rong smiled faintly. “You invited me and Mingchen to dinner. You even showed up alone. I think you’re going to give us your blessing or you have something to tell me. Flattering you right now will do nothing to change your mind.”

“Well, well. You’re indeed a psychologist who’s good at reading minds and seducing men,” snapped Song Xiyu.

“Actually, psychology won’t help in seducing men. Everyone has their own thoughts. It only helps me to understand others better,” Bai Rong tried to explain.

“If I have a choice, I won’t allow you to be my daughter-in-law. But Mingchen loves you. You’re right. I don’t want him to forget how to love when he has everything he ever wanted.”

A hint of sorrow crept into Song Xiyu’s voice.

Bai Rong lowered her gaze silently.

Song Xiyu finally gave them her blessing, but she wasn’t going to spend the rest of her life with Gu Mingchen anymore.

“No one knows what will happen in the future. You don’t need to feel conflicted. Just follow your heart. Perhaps the more you do, the more mistakes you’ll make. Well, let’s just forget it.” Bai Rong stopped as if hinting at a deeper meaning to her words.

“You’re acting strangely. I’ve given you my blessings. So why are you patronizing me now?” Song Xiyu blurted out angrily.

“Let’s just go along with the flow,” Bai Rong replied lazily.

Just then, the door was pushed open. Gu Mingchen walked in and saw both women in the private room.

“Mom!” he greeted his mother before taking a seat beside Bai Rong. Taking her hand, he studied her carefully.

Bai Rong shot him a smile. “We arrived ten minutes ago. Dinner is on the way.”

“Mm,” Gu Mingchen grunted in reply.

Song Xiyu cut straight to the chase. “When are you going to have kids?”

“We’re preparing for it. What’s wrong?” Gu Mingchen was confused.

“It’s better for you to have a baby as soon as possible since I’m still strong enough to help take care of your baby. As for your wedding, let’s hold it sometime later.” Song Xiyu had given them their consent.

Gu Mingchen finally understood why Song Xiyu invited them to dinner. “Thank you, Mom.”

“I hope you’ll live happily ever after,” said Song Xiyu coolly, her gaze fixated on Bai Rong.

Bai Rong merely stared at the ground wordlessly.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Mingchen’s grip on her hand tightened.

When Bai Rong met his gaze, he flashed a smile.

Gu Mingchen rarely smiled. But he was exceptionally handsome whenever he smiled. Alas, his smile was poison to her. At the thought of being separated from him, a bitter feeling spread in her heart.

After I leave, he’ll probably end up with Zhou Hailan.

Turns out he’s fated to be with Zhou Hailan instead of me.

Seeing that it was still early after dinner, Gu Mingchen put her shopping bags in the car before they strolled around Shuiyue International like a normal couple.

“You seem upset. What’s wrong?” Gu Mingchen asked in concern.
