You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 398
Chapter 398 I Know You Are Bai Rong
Gu Mingchen did not call during the day, so Wu Nian gave him a call in the evening when she returned
to the hotel Aaron had arranged for her.
“Hey.” Wu Nian spoke first.
“Yes,” Gu Mingchen acknowledged.
“I’ve settled my issue,” she informed him.
“Okay,” was his casual and short reply.
“All right, then I shall see you tomorrow in Pillere.”
“Got it.” Gu Mingchen hung up.
A weird feeling arose in her as if her heart was burdened by a heavy rock.
She wanted to dial his number again but did not know what else to say. After all, she was not very good
with her words.

Putting her phone aside, she went to take a shower. Right then, she recalled an article she had read
before and felt that it was a piece of timely advice.
The gist of the article revolves around three words of wisdom from a boss to his employee who’s
worked for him for three years.
The first piece of advice being there is no such thing as a free lunch. Don’t attempt to look for shortcuts.
Second, curiosity kills the cat, especially if it’s not something beneficial.
Third, don’t make any decisions rashly. Otherwise, one will regret it forever.
The man didn’t take a shortcut on his way home. Instead, he chose the main route which was filled with
passersby. When he heard ady was running amok in the hotel he was staying in, he locked himself in
the room whereas others who went to check the ruckus out were killed by thedy. When he got home
and heard a man’s voice, he didn’t act recklessly and hurt his wife. As it turns out, the man was his
grown-up son.
Wu Nian turned off the shower.
She decided not to call Gu Mingchen even though he sounded unhappy. Worst case scenario, I’ll break
up with him as per the original n.
I should calm down and live every day to the fullest. This is best for everyone.
After showering, she switched off her phone and went straight to bed.
Some timeter, she was awoken by the door bell.
Switching on the bedsidemp, she put on the disposable hotel slippers and took a peek at the
peephole, only to find Gu Mingchen standing at the door.
Baffled, she opened it. “Why are you here?”
Reeking of alcohol, he entered the room, shut the door, and immediately pinned her against the wall
before kissing her passionately.
She tried to push him away but he was too strong. He locked her in position with a tight grip on her
waist as she struggled to gasp for air.
He domineeringly orchestrated each move with passion, making it irresistible for her. After half an hour,
he gradually stopped all of his amorous advances.
Gu Mingchen carried her into the bathroom to wash up. No one spoke a word.
He’s obviously drunk and isn’t ready to hear me out. This isn’t going too great.
He freshened himself up and handed a towel over to her.
Wu Nian snatched the towel from him and subsequently tossed it on the floor.
He cast a sharp gaze at her in response before he spun on his heels and went out of the bathroom.
Wu Nian remained silent and continued her bubble bath for another half an hour. When she came out,
he was still around.
Ignoring him, shey on the bed with her back facing him and shut her eyes.
When she was about to doze off, she felt her side of the bed sank and she was held by an outstretched
arm.
She turned her head and was met with his intense gaze. Feeling a pang of sadness, she questioned,
“Don’t you think that you’re too full of yourself?”
“Yup,” he responded.
She turned her whole body to face him. “What’s bothering you? I can’t help but noticed that you’re
unhappy these days.”
“You know the reason why,” Gu Mingchen muttered.
“I can’t read your mind, you know.”
“It’s gettingte, get some rest.” He turned off the lights, leaving the room pitch-ck.
She turned her back to him again.
Misery churned within him. Feeling troubled, Gu Mingchen propped himself up.
Wu Nian looked at him. “What’s wrong?”
“I’m just wondering how long you n to hide it from me. Perhaps, you’ve discovered the fact that I
know who you are?” His brooding eyes were scanning Wu Nian, trying to see through her.
“What do you mean by that?” she asked in trepidation.
“I’m wondering if you are still her, or if I’mpletely mistaken.” Pulling a serious face, Gu Mingchen
got up from the bed solemnly.
Upon realizing what he meant, Wu Nian’s face turned pale. “You thought I’m Bai Rong.”
“You’re still pretending that you’re not even though you know that I’ve been waiting for you.”
You know that I don’t like you being around Aaron, yet you still hung out with him till evening.
You resisted having sex with me.
It’s always been me forcing myself on you.
You’re etched in my heart, but you kept wanting me to let you go.
Three years passed us by, then another three years, followed by two more. We’ve wasted eight years
in total. Our child is already seven years old, for goodness sake.
At this stage, I know I’ll always let you win if we continue leaving things hanging. The sheer agony of
struggling to have a future together. I can’t seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Therefore, Bai Rong, I think it’s time for me to give you up.
Wu Nian locked eyes with Gu Mingchen, her expression was stony.
“Don’te looking for Yanny anymore. He has the impression that his mother has passed away. If he
finds out the truth one day, that his mother is still alive and is actually beside him but refuses to ept
him nor be with his dad, he’ll hate you forever.
“In addition, I’ll get married again. So your presence would be a stumbling block between Yanny and
his stepmother.
“Don’t worry about Yanny. He’s my son too, so I’ll take good care of him. Although I can be strict at
times, I’ll raise him to be the best version of himself. I also believe that my future wife will treat him as
her own. I’ll look for a partner on the pretext of getting married,” Gu Mingchen said coldly.
Wu Nian said nothing as she kept her gaze low, allowing her tears to fall.
Gu Mingchen snorted at her for not expressing her wish to reconcile even though he hadid his cards
on the table.
“There’s no need to see each other again.” With that, he turned around, headed to the door, exited the
room, and closed the door shut.
This is exactly what I wanted! To make the man I love the most exit from my world and live a lonely life
henceforth.
But what’s the point of being alive now? Perhaps, I don’t deserve to be alive.
Wu Nian did not continue sleeping. As she sat on her bed bawling her eyes out, she made a decision.
The next morning, she purchased a ticket to return to A City. Afternding, she went straight to the
psychiatric hospital to see Bai Bing. To her dismay, Bai Bing hadmitted suicide.
Completely shaken up, she went to see her doctor in consultation. “What happened? Why did Bai Bing
kill herself? She was perfectly fine thest time I saw her.”
“I’m sorry, we’re clueless as to why she took her own life. She banged her head against the wall out of
the blue. When we discovered it and rushed to her, she was already dead. Are you her family
member?” asked the doctor.
“Where is she buried?” Wu Nian wanted to know more.
“From the record, it doesn’t show that she had any surviving family member or rtives. So, the
hospital followed our standard operating procedures and carried out a public funeral for her. Please
come with me.” The doctor led Wu Nian to the graveyard located behind the psychiatric hospital.
Bai Bing had been buried. The newly erected tombstone had her name engraved on it as well as her
daughter’s name, Bai Rong.
Instantly, Bai Rong fell to her knees before Bai Bing’s grave.
Liu Yan’s matter has been resolved. There’s nothing else in this word for me to hold on to… no more
attachments, no one to care about, and no more sense of belonging…
