You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 418


    Chapter 418 I Will Not Have Anyone Else After You


    His tone immediately made her feel ufortable. Lips curling, she replied, “I’m sure it’s none of Mr.


    Su’s matter then I’m here, right?”


    Realizing his mistake, Su Xuyan hastily said, “I was just curious. Ms. Wu, you don’t look like the kind


    who enjoys being in a ce like this.”


    “You don’t understand me, so how would you know if I don’t like it?” Bai Rong refuted.


    Instantly, the atmosphere between them turned tense.


    “President Su, do you two know each other?” one asked.


    Su Xuyan shrugged. “Something like that.”


    His gazending on Gu Mingchen, Su Xuyan uttered, “I heard you were here, so I came to toast to you.


    Mr. Gu, you must have had a lot of frustration recently, don’t you?”


    “Does that have anything to do with you?” Gu Mingchen questioned.


    “Of course it does. We’ve known each other for such a long time now. I’d hope for you to live a long life.


    How boring life would be without yourpanion.” With that, Su Xuyan clinked his ss against Gu


    Mingchen’s.


    “You’re overthinking it. I’m definitely going to live longer than you. Busybodies tend to have a much


    shorter lifespan,” Gu Mingchen retorted.


    At that, Su Xuyan chuckled, seemingly gloating. Then, he downed the ss before fixing his gaze on


    Wu Nian. “So you’re together with Gu Mingchen now?”


    His pointed words made Bai Rong shudder, and she stared at him in silence with her lips pursed.


    “She’s now my assistant,” Gu Mingchen replied for her.


    “Assistant?” Su Xuyan’s expression darkened as he looked at Bai Rong. “When I invited you to be my


    assistant, you said you only know how to teach. So what are you doing right now? Ms. Wu, do you only


    sprout lies from those lips?”


    “Everything changes in this world. If you want to be specific, Mr. Su, you’re not as charming as Mr. Gu


    is. Does this answer satisfy you?” Bai Rong responded icily.


    At that, Su Xuyan’s expression turned even darker. Tossing the ss he was gripping into the bin, he


    warned, “You’ll regret this decision of yours.”


    When the man left, Bai Rong’s face paled.


    Su Xuyan was a petty man whose true nature hid behind a civilized exterior.


    She feared Su Xuyan. After all, the man could do anything.


    The gathering continued. It seemed like no one was affected by Su Xuyan’s abrupt appearance, but


    lingering anxiety still wrapped itself around Bai Rong’s heart.


    “Nian, please help me get the lighter from the car,” Gu Mingchen said.


    She froze.


    Bai Rong did not like Gu Mingchen smoking, but she would be embarrassing him if she were to voice it


    to him while many were around them. Hence, she stood up and walked out. Before she reached the


    elevator, the man held her hand and dragged her to the balcony on the second floor.


    “Don’t take what Su Xuyan said to heart,” he murmured.


    Right then, Bai Rong realized that asking her to grab the lighter had only been an excuse.


    It seemed like he had noticed her low spirits and wanted to console her about it.


    His concern touched her heart. “After so many experiences with him, I know him well. It’s impossible for


    me not to take his words to heart. I’m thinking about what he said at the end—about me regretting my


    decision. Does he know something?”


    “Even if he does, it has nothing to do with me. First, he won’t tell me about it. Second, he’ll add insult to


    injury. Third—” Gu Mingchen paused. “I didn’t deal with him previously because I wanted him to suffer


    the same way I did when I thought you died. Since you’re still alive, I won’t be letting him off.”


    Nervously, Bai Rong grabbed Gu Mingchen’s hand. “Don’t make me regret being together with you. I


    hope you’re safe and sound. If you are, I’m willing to let go of all my hatred.”


    Gu Mingchen shifted and gripped her hands tightly. “After knowing Xia He’s secret, I realized you’re not


    the one who’s dragging me down. It’s me dragging you down. Even without you, some things will still


    happen, so no matter what happens, don’t me yourself for it. Su Xuyan is nothing to me.”


    Bai Rong knew he was trying his best to console her.


    She could clearly distinguish which one of them was the burden at different times.


    “We’ll be better in the future,” she whispered.


    “Yes, we will. Don’t worry. I realized you weren’t eating, so when we go back, have some food. I’ll bring


    you home in a while,” Gu Mingchen muttered gently. He then held her hand and started walking back


    inside.


    Subconsciously, Bai Rong retracted her hand, and Gu Mingchen turned to look at her.


    “Gu Mingchen, I love you. I love you more than you think I do. There are many things we still need to


    deal with, and the lesser, the better. You’re not all-powerful,” Bai Rong worriedly pointed out.


    “Okay. I understand.” Instead of insisting her do things his way, Gu Mingchen headed to the room first.


    Meanwhile, Bai Rong headed to the restroom. After sshing some water on her face, she raised her


    head, only to jump in fright. The mirror reflected her pale face and Su Xuyan’s scowling one.


    The man had his arms folded as he leaned on the doorframe, staring at her. “Does Aaron know you’re


    an assistant for Gu Mingchen?”


    Forcing herself to calm down, Bai Rong intentionally revealed Aaron’s date of return to distract Su


    Xuyan. “There’s no need for me to report to him about my work matters. Moreover, Aaron will be


    coming to A City on the fifteenth. Even if I don’t say anything, he’ll find out about it eventually.”


    “You didn’t study finance, business, or secretarial studies, but Gu Mingchen made you his assistant.


    Don’t you think that’s weird?” Su Xuyan questioned.

    “He has his own reasons for doing that, and I have my own reasons for epting the job. All I need to


    do is to think for myself; why do I need to think for others?” With that said, Bai Rong walked out.


    Taking arge stride to the right, Su Xuyan blocked her way to stare down at her. “I’d like to know what


    your reasons for epting the job are.”


    At that, she sneered. “I’d like to know why you’re so concerned with me. Have you fallen in love with


    me?”


    “I’m thinking your reason is the same as Gu Mingchen’s reason—you look a lot like the woman we both


    love,” Su Xuyan remarked as he observed her face.


    Raising her chin, she uttered, “Are you done? If you’re done, may I leave?”


    However, instead of letting her go, the man grabbed her arm, saying, “Come with me. Whatever terms


    you need—whatever terms you tell me—I’ll ept them all.”


    “I’m not short of money, and I don’t have any family. Even my only friend has left me. In other words,


    there isn’t anything I want now. If I do…” Bai Rong trailed off. “Mr. Su, you’re rich, powerful, and


    handsome. Even Mo Xue has a crush on you. I’m sure you have plenty of women lining up to get


    together with you, so stay away from me from now on.”


    “I won’t have anyone else after you, I swear. If I get anyone else, you can do anything you want to,” Su


    Xuyan dered.
