You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 281
Chapter 281 When Thoughts And Dreams Merge Together
She deleted the number and left her phone on the bedside table before lying on the bed.
Tired to the bone, she fell asleep without even showering.
She had a dream that night.
In her dream, she was sitting in a small boat that was floating on ake of infinite horizons. The surface
of theke shimmered beautifully, reflecting her face.
Gu Mingchen was also sitting in the boat with her. He leaned over to kiss her, then removed her clothes
and started getting it on with her. Just as she began to enjoy it, Gu Mingchen’s face morphed into Su
Xuyan’s.
She jumped in shock and frantically tried to run away. However, Su Xuyan held her waist in a vicelike
grip, preventing her from escaping as he took her by force.
Terror gripped her heart and she kicked him away. With nowhere else to run, she jumped into theke.
At the bottom of theke, she saw another woman, naked just like her.
She swam toward the woman and realized that she had a face exactly like hers and that tears were
running down her cheeks.
A hand closed around her arm – it was Gu Mingchen pulling her toward the surface.
When she looked back, she found that the woman was standing on her feet while waving at her.
Bai Rong’s chest constricted and she jolted awake with sweat coating her entire body.
“Bad dream?” Su Xuyan asked.
Shocked at the sight of him, Bai Rong’s eyes widened.
Perhaps it was because sleep still clung to her mind, she flopped back onto the bed and closed her
eyes.
Su Xuyan chuckled softly. “Bai Rong, you’re really cute sometimes.”
Hearing his voice confirmed that he was really in her room, so she opened her eyes again. “When did
youe back?”
“About a minute ago,” Su Xuyan lifted his arm to check his watch.
Bai Rong grabbed her phone from the bedside table to check the time. It was already six-twenty in the
morning.
“Have breakfast with me. After that, I have to go back and rest for a bit,” Su Xuyan said in a
commanding tone.
Bai Rong didn’t want to argue with him. Moreover, it would be even more troublesome if he decided to
sleep in her room.
“Let me wash up first.” She went into the bathroom, locked the door and took a shower. She put on her
clothes from yesterday and started brushing her teeth.
I think it’s time I get myself some new clothes.
Fifteen minutes passed before she came out of the bathroom.
“Let’s go.” Su Xuyan took the lead.
Bai Rong trailed after him at an unhurried pace, keeping a distance of about one meter from him.
“Did you call Gu Mingchen and tell him to let me go?” Su Xuyan asked out of the blue.
“No. Why would you think so?” Bai Rong kept her eyes lowered.
“I find it strange that he let me go all of a sudden. I mean, he couldn’t have done all that just so you
wouldn’t get to treat me to a seafood dinner, right?” Su Xuyan’s mouth twitched slightly and his eyes
shone with skepticism. But when he nced at Bai Rong, affection took its ce.
Bai Rong’s head remained bowed as she recalled the dream from earlier, feeling slightly panicked.
Su Xuyan waved his hand in front of her face. “A penny for your thoughts?”
“I’m just thinking about my dream from earlier. Some scientists who study about dreams say that
dreams reflect a person’s frame of mind. It can also be impacted by the person’s life and surroundings,
and they can be enlightening at times.” Bai Rong wore a pensive look on her face.
“What did you dream about? You can tell me. Maybe I can help you decipher it,” Su Xuyan volunteered
with a smile.
Bai Rong shot him an odd look.
No way am I going to tell him about my dream. ”You’re not an expert in this. C’mon, let’s have breakfast
now. I need to go shopping after that.”
“Do you want me to apany you?” Su Xuyan casually asked.
Bai Rong shook her head. “I’ll be fine on my own.”
Su Xuyan took out a card from his wallet and handed it to Bai Rong. “The pin number is 333520.”
Bai Rong pushed his hand away. “I have money. I’m not used to taking money from others.”
Su Xuyan knew that it was useless to insist. Three years ago, she refused to use his money even when
she was broke, let alone now when she was rich.
“Alright then. Let’s go to the movies tonight.” He curled his arm around her waist and led her into the
elevator.
Bai Rong looked at her own reflection in the elevator, but quickly averted her gaze because she was
revolted by herself and how she was going against every fiber in her body to feign civility.
Su Xuyan’s phone rang the moment they exited the elevator.
Seeing that it was from Xing Jinnian, he answered the call and put it on speaker. “What?”
“Su Xuyan, my father was taken away by some people from the CCDI this morning. Are you the one
responsible for this?” Xing Jinnian demanded angrily.
“I don’t run the CCDI, so how could I have the authority to do something like that?”
“Yesterday, you said something about my father not having a chance anymore! Who else could it be if
not you?” Xing Jinnian’s blood was boiling.
“If your father didn’t do anything bad and has a clear conscience, he’ll be released by the CCDI soon,
so there’s nothing to worry about. On the contrary, if he’smitted serious offenses or abused his
power, it’s only normal that he won’t be released. I’m going to have my breakfast now. I don’t have time
to listen to yourints. Bye.” Su Xuyan hung up without waiting for her reply.
“You strike pretty quick,” Bai Rong remarked softly.
“I did it for you. I’m already three yearste. Besides, I have sufficient evidence to sentence both Xing
Bachuan and Xing Jinnian to death. But I promised to hand him over to you for a month, so I’m going to
take my time,” Su Xuyan exined while opening the front passenger door for her.
Bai Rong got into the car and buckled herself up.
Su Xuyan was actually quite terrifying. He was in no way inferior to Gu Mingchen in terms of power and
influence.
Hence, to ensure Gu Mingchen’s safety, she should actually show Su Xuyan that she waspletely
done with him.
Su Xuyan got into the driver’s seat and drove to their breakfast destination.

It was a rare peaceful moment between them. The sunlight illuminating her snowy-white face made her
look even more dazzling.
As Su Xuyan held her hand, she enjoyed this quiet moment that solely belonged to the two of them.
Although they didn’t speak, he felt that there was a sweet and intimate air around them.
Bai Rong was slightly startled when her phone rang. She took it out of her bag and saw that it was from
Cheng Jinrong.
Surprise filled her as she wondered why he was calling at a time like this. After answering the call, she
greeted him politely, “Good morning.”
“Bai Rong, are you still treating Governor Lu’s son?” Cheng Jinrong asked with concerncing his
voice.
The other day, she had left without visiting him because of what happened to Liu Yan. Hence, she felt
slightly apologetic. “Uhm, I came back to A City because something cropped up. Governor Lu hindered
my treatment procedure, so my contract with him has been terminated. Why?”
“That’s good to hear. It probably won’t implicate you then.” Cheng Jinrong breathed a sigh of relief.
“What happened?” A bad feeling rose from the pit of Bai Rong’s stomach.
“Do you still remember the incident about Lu Xingzhou’s son raping a girl from school?”
“Yes. Lu Xingzhou gave them hush moneyter on, right? What’s wrong? Did something simr
happen again?”
“Early this morning, the girl’s entire family was murdered. The police are currently investigating the
matter. I suspect that it was the kid who did this, so I was worried about your well-being,” Cheng
Jinrong rified.
Bai Rong’s eyes dimmed.
The worldview of children was often shaped by their parents.
Lu Biao was originally a very intelligent child, but his outlook on life had been distorted by his parents
against his will.
She too, was powerless.
Sometimes, one really couldn’t afford to make a wrong decision. Otherwise, there would be no room
left for regrets.
