You Owe Me, My Love

“No! No, I just...” Yue stuttered halfway before stopping herself. She had no idea what she could say to tone down the rage of the angry man.

"What did you say!” Su Xuyan shouted.

Yue was frightened by his shouts and spilled out everything, “I didn’t say anything! I just sent our recording to her.”

Su Xuyan slapped the girl hard as a murderous glint flashed in his eyes. “Who gave you permission to do so!"

The poor girl collapsed on the floor after the slap. She then pulled herself up and knelt in front of Su Xuyan while hugging his legs. “I just want her to leave you voluntarily! I love you so much, so much that I'm going crazy!”

Su Xuyan clamped his hands on her neck, causing the girl to choke. He could kill her easily by just applying a bit more force.

The angry man retorted, “Who do you think you are? You're just a woman I've slept with for fun. What makes you think you have the right to make her leave me?”

Hearing that, colors left Yue's face.

Her breath was slowly running out as Su Xuyan’s hands clamped tighter. She pleaded through choking breaths, “I....I....Yan, please.... forgive..me!”

Su Xuyan showed no signs of letting her go. The ruthlessness in his eyes deepened.

Right that moment, his phone rang.

Su Xuyan's eyes flickered at the call and let go of the girl.

Yue lied weakly on the floor as she coughed and panted for breath, while he turned to answer the call.

“Mr. Su, I've investigated the car plate number you asked for. It belongs to Gu Mingchen, the Chief of the Military Special Forces.” Su Xuyan's subordinate reported.

The murderous glint returned to Su Xuyan's eyes as his lips curled into a cold smirk. “So it's him. What about Bai Rong? Has she returned?”

"She boarded the ship with Gu Mingchen. I heard they will only get off the ship tomorrow morning.” The subordinate reported accordingly.

Su Xuyan's pupils constricted the information and his face went ugly with anger. He then spoke through clenched teeth, “We shall join the game tomorrow. Not just anyone can flirt with my wife.” “Noted.”

Su Xuyan hung up the phone and turned to Yue coldly. “Leave this place in three days. Don't appear before me again.”

“No, Yan! I love you! Don't throw me out!” Yue pleaded with the cold man.

“Lowly bitch.” Su Xuyan kicked Yin Yue away ruthlessly as he made a call to his subordinate. “Take back all properties under Yin Yue's name. Estates, cars, luxuries, everything. Cancel all banking accounts and investments she has under my name. And, blacklist her.”

Yin Yue's face was pale as a sheet as she weakly collapsed on the floor.

In the distance, the sky began to brighten as the first ray of daylight penetrated the windows and showered on Bai Rong.

The girl opened her eyes in content.

This was the first time she had managed a good night's sleep. She got up from her bed and proceeded to wash up.

Just when she came out of the bathroom, someone knocked on the door.

Immediately, Bai Rong went to answer the door.

It was Gu Mingchen, who stood in a very upright post while carrying three shopping bags.

"I believe your clothes from yesterday are not dry yet. Wear this.” Gu Mingchen said in his deep voice.

Then he placed the bags on the door side.

Gu Mingchen was a man of few words. Hence, he turned to leave immediately after finishing his words.

Bai Rong smiled at the bags as a warm feeling enveloped her.

She picked up the paper bag and took out the clothes within. It was a handmade embroidered silk skirt with a ruffled collar and orchid embroidery. Obviously a very expensive piece of clothing.

She hadn't even returned his money for the cosmetics.

Inside one of the bags was a pair of white shoes. Great, just the right size. It was soft and comfortable.

The girl changed into her new clothes before going out to the starboard, where she met Gu Mingchen.

The wind was blowing across the glistening surface of the sea, but Gu Mingchen's figure was even brighter than the sea surface in the eyes of Bai Rong.

The man's strong and handsome face was like a perfect artwork done in the hands of a sculptor. His sculpture-like eyes were now staring at the far end of the sea.

His exterior was still cold, but Bai Rong could feel a warm vibe that was hardly exuded from him. Gu Mingchen turned to face her as his eyes flickered. “This dress suits you well.”

The girl walked in his direction and leaned on the rails while replying gently, “It seems that I owe you more now."

“If you don't wish to owe me anything, then just throw these into the bin once you reach home.” Gu Mingchen replied coolly.

Bai Rong smiled at his answer. What an autocratic man.

Su Xuyan's image suddenly flashed across her mind. The girl lifted her head and asked Gu Mingchen in a serious tone, “Chief, can I ask you something?”

“Yes?” The man looked back at her as well.

At that moment, they looked like long time friends chatting under the morning sun.

"Why do you hate Ms. Su so much? From what I see, she loves you very much.” Bai Rong asked in confusion.

Not that she loved to gossip, but Bai Rong saw herself in Su Wanning.

Gu Mingchen's gaze bored deeply into her, like he could see through her thoughts. The man answered earnestly, “Firstly, I don't like her. Secondly, I don't like to be bugged by her. Thirdly, she harmed my friend. The only gesture I did out of old times sake is that I haven't take any forceful measures to make her disappear from my side.”

Bai Rong nodded in understanding.

Turned out Su Xuyan simply disliked her and hated her for pestering him. He thought she had harmed Yue.

She was finally relieved after getting the answer to the questions that bugged her for so long. “Thank you, Chief.” Bai Rong thanked him softly.

"You're not my subordinate nor a member of the military, so you don’t need to call me Chief.” Gu Mingchen replied coolly again.

“Ohh?” She felt awkward now. “I'm sorry.”

“My name is Gu Mingchen.” He averted his gaze to the approaching land. “Just call me that.”

Bai Rong felt an odd feeling arising within her.

Calling him by his name; that sounded rude.

“Please sum up the bill for the cosmetics and clothing. I cannot just take it for free.” Bai Rong tried to change the topic

Emotions of displeasure flashed across his eyes as he side-eyed the girl's peaceful face. “If you want to cut off all ties with me, then accompany me for a shopping trip this afternoon. You'll pay for my clothes this time.”

Bai Rong was startled at his suggestion and lowered her head.

She didn't want to be indebted with him, so she really should buy him something expensive.

At least it had to be about the same amount he had spent on her.

“I have to work today. Can we go after my working hours?” Bai Rong asked.

Gu Mingchen's face darkened at her words. So this woman really wanted to cut all ties with him. “Lieutenant Shang is here. Let's get in the car.” Gu Mingchen strode towards the dock before Bai Rong could see his dark expression.

Lieutenant Shang was standing respectfully beside a Range Rover and opened the back door.

Gu Mingchen instructed coldly, “Send her home first.”

"Roger that.” Lieutenant Shang received his order and turned to Bai Rong. “Ms. Bai, may I know where you live?”

“Sky Apartment. Just drop me at the front gate. I'll walk in myself.” Bai Rong answered and turned to look at Gu Mingchen.

His eyes were closed as he tried to rest himself. The man exuded a noble but fearful vibe that could stop anyone from coming near him.

Bai Rong remained silent throughout the journey as she didn’t want to disturb his rest. The silent girl turned to look out of the window, only to see a motorcycle coming fast in their direction. Abruptly, Gu Mingchen opened his eyes and his sharp gaze darted towards the window.

Outside, the motorcyclist held up a gun.

Bai Rong hadn't managed to react when the man beside her swiftly covered her. His hands were pressing her head tightly against his chest protectively.

“Bang!”

Following the loud bang, a bullet penetrated the car window.....
