You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 463 You Know Me Inside Out

“You guys aren’t leaving anymore, right?” Shen Yiyan asked without beating around the bush. “Yeah. Too many things happened lately and I guess we can’t run away from responsibilities anymore,” Bai Rong replied vaguely.

A chuckle came from the other side of the phone. “Now you know my situation. It’s not like I want to be the chief-in-command, but my whole family will be in danger if I don’t. My dad has made many enemies and I need to protect my family.”

Bai Rong listened silently. She did not know why Shen Yiyan was trying to get at. Is he trying to warn me, or…

“Why are you telling me this?” she asked. “I love Liu Yan, and I love my family too. But now, I can’t get both of these two. But once my position is secure in a few years’ time, I will marry her,” he said. So this is why he called.

“Forget about it, Shen Yiyan. Your position will be threatened once you marry her. You know her character, she’s no first lady material. Besides, you’re the reason why her mother died. She will never forgive you, and neither will she forgive me,” she said coldly.

“The marriage I have now is one of politics, not of love. My wife has to preserve her family’s honor just like me. As long as I’m able to keep her family’s good name, she’s willing to disappear from my life. I’ll be able to marry Liu Yan then. I don’t love my wife, and neither will I touch her. There’s no need for her to waste her youth on me.”

“And why are you telling me all this?” Bai Rong asked again. “Can you tell me where she is?” Shen Yiyan finally revealed the reason for his call. “Or do you not know where she is? I know you’ll be able to find her,” he persisted.

“I don’t think so. I have to go get breakfast now. You know I have to eat on time now that I’m pregnant. Goodbye,” Bai Rong cut him short.

Gu Mingchen stood behind her, watching her hung up the phone. “Luckily Liu Yan doesn’t love him. Else you’ll be caught in a difficult situation.”

Bai Rong shrugged her shoulders helplessly. “Shen Yiyan probably has no idea what his dad did back then, or not he wouldn’t call and say outright that he has to protect his family. What do you think?”

“I’m older than him by five years. He wasn’t even born yet when my dad was killed, so I guess he doesn’t know anything.”

“But if Shen Yiyan knew about what his father did, would he still be on his father’s side?” Bai Rong asked.

“It’s hard to say. He probably knows his dad’s past isn’t a pleasant sight. We have to first get rid of Sheng Dongcheng before we deal with Shen Ao. We can’t take down two of them in one go,” Gu Mingchen said realistically.
