You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 463

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… All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“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.

“True,” Bai Rong replied with a nod, “Let’s go grab breakfast first. I’m a little hungry already.”

Gu Mingchen tapped her nose and smiled. “Let’s go. Wait for me at home after breakfast, okay?”

“I miss our life back on the island,” she said casually.

“You’re pregnant now. There are no doctors there to look after you in case anything happens,” he said seriously.

Bai Rong nodded in agreement. She did not know what would happen if they met a pack of wolves when they went for a walk. She would not be able to run for her life. “Then let’s go back after I give birth to our child.”

Gu Mingchen smiled and held her hand as they walked out together.

Song Xiyu’s face lit up when she saw the couple. “Wang, heat up the food for them.”

“Sure,” Wang agreed and went into the kitchen.

“Mom, I have something to tell you,” Bai Rong said when she saw Song Xiyu.

“Oh, sure. Come over to my room,” Song Xiyu replied cordially, leading the way to her room.

Gu Mingchen’s hand tightened around Bai Rong’s hand before letting her go. He knew what she was going to tell his mother.

Bai Rong followed Song Xiyu into her room. She closed the door behind her and took a deep breath before she spoke. “I don’t think it’s right to hide this from you, so I’m just gonna come clean. I hope you’ll promise to keep this a secret.”

“What is it?” Song Xiyu sounded a little nervous.

“Mom, I go by Wu Nian now, but I’m actually Bai Rong,” she said honestly. She would rather just tell Song Xiyu now rather than her finding out about her real identity on her own one day.

Song Xiyu stared at her with her eyes wide. Her gaze finally softened after a good fifteen seconds. “I should’ve guessed.”

“I’m sorry, Mom.”

Song Xiyu held her hands in hers. “When I saw you five years ago, I could tell from our conversation that you’re a smart woman. But because I did something to hurt you back then, I didn’t dare to take you into the family. But truth to be told, I have already accepted you two years ago. Where have you been for the past two years? Do you know how dejected Mingchen was when you disappeared? He almost

lost his life because he drank too much. But I know he did it on purpose. He wanted to just leave this world and find you.”

Bai Rong’s heart broke listening to her words. “I was away getting treatment. I was on the brink of death for the past two years, but I managed to survive, and I came back.”

Song Xiyu patted the back of her hand and nodded in relief. “It must have been difficult. I owe you an apology for all the selfish things Tianhang and I did to you.”

“I understand, Mom. I don’t blame you both for it. I would do the same for my son if I were in your shoes.”

Song Xiyu shifted her gaze and looked at Bai Rong’s pinky. “Did you get it reattached?”

“This is a fake finger. It can’t do anything actually.”

“I’m so sorry,” Song Xiyu mumbled.

“It’s okay, Mom,” Bai Rong said, shaking her head.

“Let’s go out for breakfast. I’m sure you two are hungry. I have to go to the company later, and Mingchen will be out too. Let me know if you’re bored at home. I can fetch your friend over if you want some company,” Song Xiyu offered.

Bai Rong suddenly thought of Liu Yan.

It would be good if Liu Yan were here. Given her talkative and outgoing nature, she would definitely keep her entertained.

I wonder how she’s doing now.

I hope she’s happy wherever she is.

“Nian?” Song Xiyu called her.

Bai Rong blinked her eyes and collected her thoughts. “It’s okay, Mom. I’ll spend some time revising the things I’ve recently learned. Thanks for offering.”

“Alright then. Just let me know if you need anything.”

“I will.”

When the two finished talking, Gu Mingchen was looking at his phone.

“You guys can have breakfast. I’ll go to the company first,” Song Xiyu said, bidding them goodbye.

“Alright, Mom. See you,” Bai Rong replied, sitting down beside Gu Mingchen and putting her head on his shoulder.

“Did you tell Mom who you are?” he asked.

“Yeah. You really know me inside out.”
