You Owe Me, My Love

Bai Rong almost jumped out of her skin. She whipped around to face Gu Mingchen.

He had a hand in one of his pockets as he sauntered up the stairs one step at a time, his gaze fixed on Su Xuyan the entire time. The man was the picture of power.

Su Xuyan’s eyes narrowed, his gaze just as ferocious.

“You’ll never make Bai Rong happy.” Su Xuyan hissed out.

Gu Mingchen took his place by Bai Rong’s side, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her towards him, clearly marking his territory. “That’s not up to you to decide. Your petty jealousy is pathetic.”

Su Xuyan gritted his teeth. “I won’t waste my breath on you.”

He breezed past Gu Mingchen, preparing to descend the stairs.

Gu Mingchen loomed over him. “Mr. Su, I may not have the right to decide who my wife befriends but I suggest that you know your limits. Don’t blame me for retaliating if I were to be provoked.”

Then, he pulled Bai Rong tighter against him.

“Retaliating?” Su Xuyan sneered at Gu Mingchen. His eyes showed no sign of fear, only condescension. “You can’t force love.”

Su Xuyan turned his gaze to Bai Rong. “Don’t forget about our lunch date. I’ll contact you with the details later.”

Gu Mingchen’s cold gaze landed on Bai Rong. He frowned deeply. “You promised to have lunch with him? When did this happen and why did I not hear about it?”

Bai Rong felt stuck as she thought about the right response that could quell her husband’s anger. Su Xuyan swooped in and answered for her instead. “It was last night.”

Gu Mingchen’s eyebrows drew even tighter together. “Did you promise him before or after I proposed?”
