You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 211

When she opened her eyes again, what greeted her was a resplendent chandelier that reflected the sunlight. Oh, it’s already morning. She was calmer compared to the night before.

Having melatonin stored up in her made her frustrated, moody, depressed, and stubborn. There was also too much serotonin in her the night before, making her furious and impulsive. Luckily, they would be flushed along with her metabolism cycle, so she woke up refreshed and calm.

She sat up and saw that her wound was bandaged, perhaps when she was out of commission. Then, she got out of bed and opened the door.

Su Xuyan was sitting in front of his computer. When he saw her, he shot up and explained, “You fainted and had a high fever last night. You should stay in bed. I’ll get the doctor to perform a checkup.”

“Thanks, but I’m feeling a lot better now,” Bai Rong refused his offer and scanned the room. “Where’s my bag?”

“I didn’t pay attention to it since I was in a hurry to send you to the hospital last night. When I sent someone to retrieve it this morning, they said someone took it. I think it’s Gu Mingchen. Finding you through his phone should be easy,” Su Xuyan guessed.

Bai Rong stared down, shadows of her eyelashes forming on her eyes. At the same time, he went up to her and whispered, “Rong, you want to go back to the United States, don’t you? I can stay with you once i sell off my company.”

“That was just some drunk nonsense. Don’t take it seriously,” she replied calmly.

“So are you just going to let Gu Mingchen and Zhou Hailan hurt you like that? Don’t you think you’ve suffered enough?” Su Xuyan asked in a fit of impulse, and he held her hand. “He loves someone else, but I only love you.”

“I don’t care who he loves, and that goes for you too. All I care about is who I love. Do you have a disposable toothbrush here? And take me back to the military base if it’s fine with you,” she said coldly. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“I don’t get you. It’s hell and you know it, but yet you’re still going back? Aren’t you worried you might see him and her together?” Su Xuyan frowned, feeling sorry for Bai Rong.

“I clawed my way back up from the depths of the hell called marriage. What else do I have to fear?” she sneered. “Perhaps the road to forgetting love is paved with irreversible injuries. Just like how I broke out from the cage you built for me.”

“That’s just asking for trouble.” Infuriated, Su Xuyan peered at her.

“Really?” She started tearing up, but her mind was clear. “Do you think I don’t want to forget about him? Do you think I don’t want to release myself from the pain? My heart aches when my mind goes the opposite way, and then I’d give in to my heart, because that pain is unbearable. I never want to live my life in pain anymore. I want to wake up from this nightmare, and the only person who can do that is Gu Mingchen.”

“Are you out of your mind, Bai Rong? Do you know what you’re talking about?” Su Xuyan couldn’t sit still anymore. He disagreed with her, and he didn’t want her to go back to Gu Mingchen. He was worried she might stay with him forever. If that came to pass, he would be all alone again.

His accusation agitated her. Am I really out of my mind? She wasn’t sure, but she could understand why her mother went insane. They’d rather be madwomen if the alternative was being a fool. That was why her mother would rather live in her own world than to ask for Xing Bachuan’s help.

“I am my own person, and I will take responsibility for my actions. If you have no toothbrush, or if you won’t give me one, I can deal with it myself.” Bai Rong went to the door.

Su Xuyan held her arm, and beseeched, “Can’t you give me another chance? I’ve changed. I won’t hook up with anyone anymore. You promised you’d stay with me if I castrate myself. I love you, Rong, and I want to take care of you. I want to have babies with you. I won’t let you down anymore. I’ll stay with you in sickness and in health. I’ll go with you to any place you want. I’ll never let anyone hurt you anymore.”

Tears streamed down her cheek. Three years ago, when she was still married, she wouldn’t have accepted Gu Mingchen’s advances, if he had told her that when they were still married. Perhaps she wouldn’t have started seeing Gu Mingchen.

But he didn’t. All he gave her was mockery, harm, extortion, and destruction. “I remember telling you that I don’t have a big heart. I can only love one person at a time. I couldn’t love Gu Mingchen when I loved you, and now I can’t love you when I love him,” Bai Rong said firmly.

Su Xuyan wiped Bai Rong’s tears away. “I’ll wait until you fall out of love with him then. I know it’s going to be harder for you to love me again, but I’ll wait.”

Bai Rong pushed his hand and turned her head the other side. Just like how she didn’t date Gu Mingchen even when Su Xuyan hooked up with other women during their marriage, she wouldn’t date Su Xuyan even though Gu Mingchen liked Zhou Hailan. She didn’t want to start a problematic relationship. Quality over quantity.

“I’m going now. Bye. No need to send me off.” Bai Rong trotted out and went down the unfamiliar path. She was in a rather unpleasant condition. She had no money, no handphone, her hair was unkempt, her clothes were the ones she wore the night before, and she hadn’t bath since yesterday. She reeked of weird odour and everyone cast her weird stares.

She ignored them and looked up at the blue, blue sky. Bai Rong didn’t want much. All she wanted was a home to go back to no matter where she was.

She didn’t need her husband to be powerful, rich, or handsome. All she needed was for him to stay by her side and listen to her whenever she needed to. All she wanted was a shoulder to lean on. All she wanted was for her to find someone beside her every day. Someone like that must be waiting for me out there, right?

Then, a few cars stopped before her, and Gu Mingchen came out from one of them before coming up to her “Where were you last night? I was worried sick.”

Bai Rong felt like crying.
