You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 282
Chapter 282 We Will Go Our Separate Ways As Long As You Are Happy
After hanging up the call, Bai Rong was still deep in thought.
“What’s wrong?” Su Xuyan asked as he reached over to hold her ice-cold hand.
Bai Rong shook her head. “I heard a piece of shocking news from someone, so I’m still struggling to
come to terms with it.”
Su Xuyan sighed softly. “You’re always overthinking things and keeping everything to yourself. Rong,
you need to try and make more friends,” he suggested.
“You ever heard the saying, a hedge between keeps friendship green? The ones who acted all
chummy with you end up being backstabbers, while those who you rarely spoke to are the ones who
stick around. Sometimes, friends are even scarier than enemies, so I’d rather choose quality over
quantity,” Bai Rong rebuked.
Su Xuyan nodded. “I guess you’re right. You only need me.”
Bai Rong let out a shortugh and gazed out the window.
For some reason, herugh made him feel particrly uneasy.
“We’re here,” Su Xuyan announced just as he pulled up in front of their breakfast location.
Upon recognizing the Hummer parked next to their car as Gu Mingchen’s, Bai Rong’s brows
furrowed. Must Su Xuyan cause a scene every single day? Is it so he can sleep better at night?
Gu Mingchen and Lieutenant Song walked out right then.
Su Xuyan smirked and said, “What a coincidence. I never expected to run into you like this. Since when
has A City be such a small world?”
Gu Mingchen cast a nce at Su Xuyan’s smug face. “The way I see it, you’ll be able to run into
anyone as long as you have enough drive.”
“Speaking of which, how could I everpare to your drive, Chief Gu? I’ve been wondering, would it
make you feel better when your subordinates report to you about seeing Bai Rong and I rolling in the
sheets?” Su Xuyan mocked.

“What I feel is my own business. Is it all the evil deeds bearing down on your conscience that’s making
you fear being spied on?” Gu Mingchen countered.
“If it’s like what you said, I wouldn’t be able to stay safe until now. You, on the other hand, should be
careful from here on out. You escaped previously because of pure luck, but Lady Luck won’t stand by
your side forever. Or to be exact,” Su Xuyan paused to grab Bai Rong’s waist and pull her toward him
before continuing, “Thedy is already standing by my side.”
Gu Mingchen’s mouth twitched and he looked at Su Xuyan with an inscrutable glint in his eyes. “In that
case, you should cherish yourdy well and I’ll do the same with mine. I’m getting married soon. I’ll
send you two the invites when they’re ready.”
Bai Rong blinked in surprise, her once tranquil gaze bing slightly disturbed as she stared at Gu
Mingchen.
Filled with no small amount of shock, Su Xuyan blurted out, “You’re getting married? With who?”
“That’s none of your business. Anyway, take care of yourself,” Gu Mingchen replied in a meaningful
tone and walked past them.
Lieutenant Song hurriedly opened the door of the backseat.
Without even sparing a nce at Bai Rong, Gu Mingchen slid into the car,pletely void of
expression.
Bai Rong’s back was as stiff as a rod and there was a buzzing sound in her ears, yet, she did not turn
around either.
Gu Mingchen’s car passed by them again before whizzing away.
Bai Rong watched on as his car drove further and further.
She had always hoped that Gu Mingchen could forget her, settle down with a suitable woman and live
happily ever after.
He was finally going to marry another woman and sever all ties with her. However, her heart was
hurting instead.
She was hurting so much she felt as though an entire mountain was weighing her down, choking off
her windpipe and making her struggle to draw air into her lungs. However, she had to pretend to be
unaffected. The amount of energy it took her to remain calm caused her palms to be mmy with
sweat.
“No wonder he released me all of a sudden. It turns out that he’s found a new love interest,” Su Xuyan
spected as he looked at Bai Rong.
“Let’s go in and have breakfast now. I’m hungry,” Bai Rong suggested cidly.
“I booked room 203,” Su Xuyan answered.
When they arrived at their reserved room, Bai Rong bowed her head and absentmindedly flipped
through the menu. However, her mind couldn’t register a single thing as Gu Mingchen’s words were
ying on repeat. I’m getting married soon.
In the world, how many lovers could stay together until the end? And how many got married and
continued loving each other day after day?
She had seen too much pain caused in the name of love. Living was tiring and lonely. Perhaps after
parents passed and their children built a family of their own would they feel that they were in fact the
loneliest of all.
She was envious of penguins.
They were social animals and would only have one partner in their lifetime. Even if their partner died,
they would never love another.
“Rong? Rong? Rong?”
Hearing her name being called, Bai Rong looked up at Su Xuyan.
His eyes were narrowed as they regarded her sullenly. “Are you sad? I called you so many times but
you didn’t even hear me.”
There was ayer of mist in Bai Rong’s slightly red-rimmed eyes, but her tone was light and cool
without any intonation when she spoke, “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you that I wasn’t sad. But to
be honest, I am sad.”
Su Xuyan’s expression hardened. “Because Gu Mingchen is getting married?”
“I’m feeling sad for myself. When I was in love with you, you constantly hurt me. Then, I fell in love with
Gu Mingchen, but he forgot mepletely. Now…” Bai Rong paused, lowering her gaze as tears
streamed down her cheeks. “Perhaps, I never should’ve survived.”
“What are you talking about?” Su Xuyan eximed. He grabbed Bai Rong’s wrist and warned her with
bloodshot eyes, “Listen to me. I won’t allow it. Don’t you daremit suicide because I swear to God
I’ll destroy everything and everyone you care about, including your mother, Gu Mingchen and Liu Yan.”
Bai Rong looked at her wrist with a nk expression. Even though he was holding it in a bone-crushing
grip, she didn’t seem to feel any pain. “Do you think I still care about them?”
“You do,” Su Xuyan replied with conviction.
Bai Rong’s mouth lifted at the corners as she tasted the saltiness of her own tears.
He’s right. I do care.
Right now, I’m only living out of responsibility.
The hardships, grievances and sorrow she experienced in life made her self-destructive, irrational and
impulsive.
But after thinking it through, she figured that there were many things she needed to do.
It was easy to die, but there was no way toe back to life after dying.
“I need to use the washroom.” There seemed to be a subtle plea in Bai Rong’s feeble voice.
Su Xuyan looked away and nodded.
Bai Rong stood up and quickly went to the washroom. Then, she squatted in thest cubicle and
started crying her heart out.
With her cold, willful and unfeeling attitude, she had finally seeded in driving away the man who
loved her most and whom she loved most.
From then on, he would go his way and she would go hers; they would never again cross paths with
each other.
She was happy for him, but sad for herself at the same time. Hence, after crying her heart out onest
time, she would be able to live like a machine for the rest of her life.
In fact, she had died a long time ago at Cheng Jinrong’s house in Jadeborough when she drove Gu
Mingchen away.
