You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 283


    Chapter 283 We’re In The Same Boat


    She continued sobbing for over ten minutes. When she finally exited the stall, her face was full of tears


    and snot. Her eyes were swollen and red. In a daze, she walked out and headed to the sink to wash


    her face.


    Looking up, she stared at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath. Touching her own face in the


    mirror, she uttered gently, “Don’t be sad. Gu Mingchen is gone, but I’ll always be with you to protect


    you. From today onward, no one can harm you.”


    A cleaner walked in and nced at her strangely.

    Bai Rong shot her a re and straightened her back before walking out.


    As the door mmed shut, she heard the cleaner muttering, “She must be crazy.”


    Immediately, Bai Rong’s body trembled profusely. Pushing the door open, she red at the cleaner and


    demanded, “What did you say?”


    As Bai Rong was furious, the cleaner denied having said that. “I said nothing. What’s wrong?”


    “If I hear you saying that again, I’ll sue you for libel,” Bai Rong warned her and spun on her heels to


    leave. She strode back to room 203 angrily.


    The breakfast spread that Su Xuyan ordered earlier had been served. He wasn’t eating and was


    focused on his phone until Bai Rong came in. Spotting her reddened eyes, he inquired, “Did you cry?”


    “Don’t bother. It’s just how I vent my emotions. I’ve epted the truth after crying.” Bai Rong pulled out


    a chair and sat across from him.


    Su Xuyan gave a half-smile and ced his phone on the table. He inquired, “What have you


    epted?”


    “If I want to survive, I need to submit to you,” Bai Rong replied, her face devoid of expression.


    Su Xuyan still had his doubts. “Are you sure?”


    “You cannot falsify the truth, nor verify lies. Let’s finish breakfast and rest at home. From now on, we’re


    in the same boat.” Bai Rong dered sternly.


    Su Xuyan entwined his fingers with hers.


    It seemed that he was pleased to hear her say she’d fight by his side.


    Su Xuyan said lightly, “Rong, have you ever thought about this? We’ve been together after all that


    we’ve gone through. Perhaps we’re meant to be together.”


    Bai Rong didn’t refute his words. The corner of her mouth quirked up as she replied, “Perhaps you’re


    right. No one knows what will happen in the future. We need to cherish what we have at this moment.”


    “I will cherish you. I swear on my heart. If you stay by my side, I won’t leave you, ever,” Su Xuyan gave


    her his solemn promise.


    A grin flitted across Bai Rong’s lips.


    For a loving couple, making a promise would be a sweet gesture.


    But if they weren’t in love, a promise would end up being a burden.


    After breakfast, Su Xuyan left while Bai Rong went shopping for clothes.


    When she arrived at the mall, it was still too early. She took a seat at a nearby bench and observed the


    passers-by and cars driving past her. The weather was just nice, so in no time she felt like dozing off.


    “Hello.” A young boy scooted over on his skateboard and brandished a lipstick. “Can you use this


    lipstick and leave a mark on my shirt?”


    Instead of taking the lipstick from him, Bai Rong knitted her brows. “Shouldn’t you be at school?”


    The young boy had a strange expression on his face. “Please, I need your help. If you agree to help


    me, you can have this lipstick.”


    As his eyes kept darting sideways, Bai Rong noticed there were two other boys watching them closely.


    “Did you get into a bet with your friends?” She tried guessing.


    A shy smile appeared on his face. “They said you’re pretty. We agreed to bet one hundred.”


    Bai Rong asked, “Do you think pretty girls will like boys who skip ss?”


    The boy fell silent.


    Bai Rong continued, “Knowledge can change a person’s life. It builds character, making a person more


    cultured and refined. In the future, do you want a pretty wife? Or do you want to marry someone


    ordinary who’ll keepining about how useless you are?” She took out her own lipstick and


    applied it to her lips.


    The young boy gazed at her expectantly.


    “I can leave a lipstick mark on your shirt. But, you have to promise me one thing. Go back to school


    after this. Is that okay?” Bai Rong countered.


    He immediately replied, “Sure, no problem.”


    Bai Rong left a lipstick mark on the young boy’s shirt.


    Beaming triumphantly, the young boy skated away.


    As the three boys left, a faint smile flitted across Bai Rong’s lips.


    A child’s world is simple and innocent. Look how happy is he after I left a lipstick mark on his shirt.


    They don’t overthink things and don’t ask for much.


    After the mall opened, Bai Rong entered and bought three outfits and some undies.


    When she was done shopping, she took a cab back to the hotel. Back in her room, she took another


    shower and washed her new undies. She also ironed them.


    The rest of the new clothes were sent to the dry cleaner.


    Shortly after that, her phone rang.


    It was Zhou Han. She recalled Zhou Han had asked to meet her at noon today.


    As she didn’t think there was a need to meet up with Zhou Han, she rejected the call.


    Her phone promptly rang again. It was still Zhou Han, so she answered it. “What do you want?”


    “I’m at room 302 in Ziyuan Restaurant. When will you be here?” Zhou Han asked.


    “Sorry, but I’m not going to meet you.”


    “I have something for you. I’ll wait here until you show up,” Zhou Han urged.


    Bai Rong frowned. She’s desperate. But I can’t be that heartless.


    She responded sternly, “I’ll be there in an hour.”


    After changing her clothes, she didn’t even bother putting on makeup and headed to room 302 at


    Ziyuan Restaurant.


    Inside the room, besides Zhou Han, there was a young boy around five years old by her side. He


    resembled Zhou Han a lot.


    This must be Zhou Han and Gu Mingchen’s son.


    Bai Rong was straightforward. “What do you want?”


    Zhou Han took her hand. “You’re finally here. Good. I need to tell you something. Gu Mingchen and I


    aren’t really married. It was just a stupid agreement.”


    Bai Rong was silent.


    Zhou Han continued, “I know Gu Mingchen doesn’t want to marry me because he loves you. Hence,


    I agreed to annul the marriage. But Gu Mingchen gave me three house deeds and one million and


    eighty thousand in cash. I can’t ept that. Please return them to Gu Mingchen.”


    “He has his own reasons. Just ept them. You and your son deserve it,” Bai Rong answered


    solemnly.


    “Wait a minute. Just wait.” With that, Zhou Han scurried out of the room.


    Bai Rong nced at the kid.


    If my child is still alive, he should be around his age.


    Zhou Han lost Gu Mingchen, but her son will keep herpany.


    “Can you bring me out? We need to go to an important ce,” the young boy implored.
