You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 411

Chapter 411 Being With You Was The Best Decision I Have Made

Gu Mingchen looked at her steadily. “So you pushed me away because you’re afraid you might bring me trouble?”

“Don’t you agree?” Wu Nian sighed. “I was prepared to die when I jumped into the sea, but Liu Yan rescued me. And now, look what happened to her mother?”

“Likewise, if I chose to be with you, bad things would happen too,” Wu Nian explained. ”You’d offend Shen Yiyan because you’d save Liu Yan on my behalf, and Shen Yiyan would for sure not let you off easily. Don’t forget how cruel he can be! You’re just a businessman. You might have your father’s support, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be safe.”

She continued, “And then there’s Su Xuyan. That pervert might take revenge on you if he finds out I’m Bai Rong, not because he loves me, but merely because he hates being a loser.”

Upon regaining her composure, she regretted telling the man all these.

She should have said something that would irk him further and make him stay away from her. She should not have blurted out the truth.

Gu Mingchen’s eyes narrowed as he reached out his hands and wiped the tears off her face. “How can you, a doctor, be so superstitious? Don’t you have faith in me? I’d do anything for you because I love you.”

She pushed his hand away. “I’m not superstitious. I’m rational.”

“Has your rational self predicted the death of Liu Yan’s mother then?” Gu Mingchen asked.

That sentence made her freeze for a bit. The next moment, she “At least you’re still safe.”

“So you changed your looks and even got a bone marrow transplant because you thought it was the right thing to do, huh,” Gu Mingchen said icily.

“I only did the bone marrow transplant because of a medical emergency,” Wu Nian stated bitterly.

Gu Mingchen stood up straight and looked at her, but she lowered her eyes and avoided all eye contact.

Both of them did not speak for nearly half an hour.

“What does staying alive mean to you?” Gu Mingchen asked in a solemn voice.

She lifted her head and replied, “Responsibility.”

“And what is your responsibility?”

This time, the woman pressed her lips and said nothing.

“Let me answer on your behalf,” Gu Mingchen said, “Your responsibility is your mother, Yanny, Liu Yan, and me.”

Bai Rong kept mum.

“Your Mom is dead, Yanny is dying, and you’ve sent Liu Yan away. Are you going to kill yourself once you’ve pushed me away?” Gu Mingchen asked impassively.

“I’ll not kill myself,” Bai Rong promised. “Yanny will not die, and Liu Yan will be fine.”

“You mentioned Yanny and Liu Yan, but what about me? Are you just going to ignore me?” Gu Mingchen’s eyes turned red.

Bai Rong added, “You’ll be fine too.”

Gu Mingchen snorted, “What makes you think so? You think I’d be fine without you by my side? You seem to have forgotten what you said on the island.”

“Of course I remember,” Bai Rong retorted. “You nearly died in the sea because of me. I cannot allow such a thing to happen again. I want you to stay alive…”

“What for? So I can live like a zombie?” Gu Mingchen raised his voice and interrupted. He looked at her with his bloodshot eyes. “How can I live without you?”

She gazed deeply into his eyes, and her tears started rolling down uncontrollably again. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

The man held her hands so tightly as if he was so afraid of letting her go. He looked at her steadily and said, “I’ve tried hating you, but I can’t. Do you know miserable and exhausted I was?”

“I want us to be together. You, me, and Yanny,” Gu Mingchen added. “Even if we die, we’ll die together as a family. We can embark on the afterlife journey together.”

“There’s no such thing as the afterlife!” Bai Rong sobbed.

“What’s the point of me staying alive? I don’t eat well, and I don’t sleep well. Every time I close my eyes, I feel pain. I might as well be dead,” he said.

Bai Rong responded, “You can find someone better. You deserve someone better.”

“You can find someone better too, but why didn’t you?” Guo Mingchen exclaimed, “You changed your looks and altered your DNAs. You could have started afresh, but you chose to come into my life once again. Why? And why did you buy a yacht to return to the deserted island? Why did you risk your life to save me when I was at Stephen’s?”

Bai Rong pressed her lips and looked away as she could not give him an answer.

Gu Mingchen reached out his hand, grabbed her chin, and forced her to look at him. “I wanted to forget you and start a new life, but I can’t.”

“Do you know miserable I was in the last two years whenever I thought you were dead? Had you not appeared in my life, I would still be suffering alone in this world. I might even have been dead due to stomach bleeding.”

Bai Rong was well aware of his medical incident. It was a blessing that Gu Mingchen had finally stopped abusing alcohol when Yanny returned.

“It’s either we stay or die together. Make your choice, and I’ll respect your decision,” Gu Mingchen said in a steady voice while releasing her from his grip.

Bai Rong lowered her eyes. Obviously, he had only given her one option. How can I allow them to die with me?

She grabbed his arm and said, “You must not die. I’ll not forgive myself if you decide to end your life.”

He grabbed her hand instead and gently caressed her face. “We have been through so much together, Bai Rong. All I want now is for you to stay with me. Stop pushing me away. Or else, I’d die faster than you’d imagine.”

She took a deep breath and wrapped her hands around his waist. “No, you can’t die. Promise me.”

“Promise me you’ll stay with me forever then,” he stated.

She sobbed but did not give him a response.

“Either we stay together, or we die together. I mean every word I said,” Gu Mingchen said and pushed her away. “You better think about it.”

“My greatest pride is being able to love you and call you my boyfriend,” Bai Rong said. ”I want to celebrate my happy moments with you, but if I die, I want you to stay alive to accomplish my dreams. Promise me you’ll do that. Will you be able to?”
