You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 282 We Will Go Our Separate Ways As Long As You Are Happy

After hanging up the call, Bai Rong was still deep in thought.

“What’s wrong?” Su Xuyan asked as he reached over to hold her ice-cold hand.

Bai Rong shook her head. “I heard a piece of shocking news from someone, so I’m still struggling to come to terms with it.”

Su Xuyan sighed softly. “You’re always overthinking things and keeping everything to yourself. Rong, you need to try and make more friends,” he suggested.

“You ever heard the saying, a hedge between keeps friendship green? The ones who acted all chummy with you end up being backstabbers, while those who you rarely spoke to are the ones who stick around. Sometimes, friends are even scarier than enemies, so I’d rather choose quality over quantity,” Bai Rong rebuked.

Su Xuyan nodded. “I guess you’re right. You only need me.”

Bai Rong let out a short laugh and gazed out the window.

For some reason, her laugh made him feel particularly uneasy.

“We’re here,” Su Xuyan announced just as he pulled up in front of their breakfast location.

Upon recognizing the Hummer parked next to their car as Gu Mingchen’s, Bai Rong’s brows furrowed. Must Su Xuyan cause a scene every single day? Is it so he can sleep better at night?

Gu Mingchen and Lieutenant Song walked out right then.

Su Xuyan smirked and said, “What a coincidence. I never expected to run into you like this. Since when has A City become such a small world?”

Gu Mingchen cast a glance at Su Xuyan’s smug face. “The way I see it, you’ll be able to run into anyone as long as you have enough drive.”

“Speaking of which, how could I ever compare to your drive, Chief Gu? I’ve been wondering, would it make you feel better when your subordinates report to you about seeing Bai Rong and I rolling in the sheets?” Su Xuyan mocked.
