You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 45

Gu Mingchen was on his way to the island.

He immediately answered the phone when he saw that it was Bai Rong calling.

“Gu Mingchen!” Bai Rong shouted.

She felt like she had seen a ray of light in the darkness, and couldn’t hold herself back anymore as tears streamed down her face.

Gu Mingchen got anxious as he heard the fear in her voice, “What’s wrong?”

“Can you come over now?” Bai Rong pleaded.

She wanted to see him very badly.

Gu Mingchen frowned.

He had promised to go watch the Gray Wolf in action on the island today.

A soldier’s orders were absolute, and he had always followed through with them.

However, he was more worried about Bai Rong.

“Lieutenant Shang, take us to the hospital!” Gu Mingchen ordered.

“But, the Gray Wolf has been launched.” Lieutenant Shang was confused.

“Record the whole operation for me, I’ll watch it later. Shut up and get us to the hospital!” Gu Mingchen said.

And there they went.

Bai Rong put her phone down, feeling a sense of hope in her heart.

“Three!” Su Xuyan shouted the last number.

He grabbed the fire extinguisher next to him and smashed the glass on the door.

The glass shattered, just like her life.

He reached in and turned the doorknob.

Bai Rong immediately got off the bed and stared cautiously at Su Xuyan.

He was emanating a murderous aura as he kicked the barricade aside.

Bai Rong backed herself into the wall behind her.

“Don’t do it!” Bai Rong said while crying.

She felt no fear when she faced the thugs before, but Su Xuyan was a hundred times scarier than those thugs.

He softened up a little when he saw her crying.

“You nearly disabled me back there. How do you plan on making it up to me?” Su Xuyan asked coldly.

“Su Xuyan, there are a ton of women out there who would readily give you their bodies! Don’t force me!” Bai Rong clenched her fists tightly.

“Come home with me. I’ll count to three, and I promise not to touch you if you agree to come with me. However, if you make me finish my count, I will take you right here right now.” Su Xuyan threatened.

Bai Rong looked at the door, hoping that Gu Mingchen would appear and save her.

“One! Bai Rong, I will not get a divorce with you. You can only be my wife forever, so don’t even think about liking someone else!”

“Two! Gu Mingchen has always loved a woman, and she will be coming back soon. You’re nothing but his plaything to keep him entertained until then.”

Bai Rong was shocked, and her gaze on the door shifted back towards Su Xuyan as she now realized how little she knew about Gu Mingchen.

“I’m getting to three soon, Bai Rong. Are you looking forward to me taking you?” Su Xuyan said as he placed his hand on the wall next to her face, leaving her with no room to escape.

Bai Rong’s phone rang, and she saw a glimmer of hope.

Su Xuyan saw that it was Liu Yan’s name on the display, and smiled, “Go on, answer it.”

Bai Rong cautiously answered the call.

“Bai, I’m so sorry! I had locked the recorder in the drawer, but it’s been forced open! Everything we had is gone now!”

Bai Rong was stunned, and her shoulders sank helplessly.

Even a fool could tell that it was Su Xuyan’s doing.

She would not be able to get her divorce anymore.

Gu Mingchen could save her once or twice, but he couldn’t save her every time.

“I’ll go home with you.” Bai Rong said in despair.

A satisfied smile spread across Su Xuyan’s face.

He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in close, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re lying on my bed willingly. I’m sure you’ll learn to love me by making love to you.”

Bai Rong just froze in despair.

She started typing a text for Gu Mingchen saying, “I’m fine now. I can be discharged normally, so don’t worry. You don’t need to come over anymore. Thanks, and sorry for disturbing you.”

She felt like crying after she hit the send button, but no tears came out.

All she could feel was bitterness in her heart for having to put up with this monster, despite having done nothing wrong her entire life.

She didn’t know nor understand why God would do this to her.

She sent another text to Liu Yan saying, “I’m going home with Su Xuyan now, I’ll contact you later.”

Liu Yan immediately called her.

Su Xuyan snatched the phone over, and only gave it back to her when he saw that it was Liu Yan.

Bai Rong answered the phone.

“Rong, what’s wrong with you?! Why would you go back with Su Xuyan?! Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you look for the evidence again!” Liu Yan yelled as soon as her call came through. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Su Xuyan snatched the phone over again, “I’ve already transferred two hundred thousand over to your account, now stay out of our business! Otherwise, I’ll come after you!”

“Bring it on, I’m not afraid of you! You’d better not cheat again! It’s very easy to get evidence on you!” Liu Yan shot back at him.

She had never lost a single argument her entire life.

Su Xuyan just laughed and hung up on her.

Gu Mingchen’s call came in next.

Hatred could be seen in Su Xuyan’s eyes as he answered the call.

“Are you alright?” Gu Mingchen’s voice was filled with concern.

Su Xuyan put the phone on speaker and handed it over to Bai Rong.

Bai Rong dared not answer the call as she was afraid of Su Xuyan pulling dirty tricks, but he glared at her fiercely and motioned for her to take the call.

Bai Rong clutched the phone tightly and held it to her ear.

“What exactly happened? I’ll be there in an hour.” Gu Mingchen’s tone softened some more.

It would all be too late after an hour.

“It’s fine, I just saw a rat, that’s all. I’m afraid of rats and snakes, you see. The doctor said I’m recovering fast, so I can be discharged right away.” She made up a logical-sounding excuse for her crying earlier, but the urge to cry had returned as soon as she heard his voice.

“That’s good to know. By the way, I’ve already applied for the Good Samaritan Award I told you about last time. As for your mother, I will make the arrangements, so you don’t have to worry. Just go to Provence with her, and have fun.” Gu Mingchen said softly.

Bai Rong felt like her heart was being pounded in repeatedly by a sledgehammer as she heard that.

She had just casually mentioned that wish of hers, but he had already taken care of it.

Alas, she was not worthy of such a good man.

Su Xuyan ended the call, “He sure has heart. Are you touched by his actions?”

“What do you think?” Bai Rong shot back as she made no effort to hide the sadness in her eyes.

Su Xuyan narrowed his eyes, “Reject it. There is no need for my wife to accept gifts from other men. Your mother wanted to see me, right? I’m free recently so I can arrange for it.”

“Let’s just go home, I’m tired.” Bai Rong said sleepily.

Gu Mingchen felt something was amiss as he thought about it.

Knowing Bai Rong, she might be scared of rats and snakes, but she wouldn’t cry because of it. Something must have happened to her.

Lieutenant Shang’s phone rang.

After ending the call, he was panicking, “Bad news, chief! A major accident happened on the island! Gray Wolf exploded soon after being deployed. Five of the thirty crew members have been safely evacuated while eight of them are suffering from varying degrees of injuries. The team leader 108 sustained the worst injury, losing both his legs in the blast.”

“Get them to the military hospital right away. I’ll head over now.” Gu Mingchen ordered.

Lieutenant Shang felt relieved that the chief didn’t attend the drill on the island, or he would’ve been the one to lose his legs instead.
