You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 134

“What secret?” Bai Rong asked.

“Can I have your number?” Mu Xiaosheng asked.

Bai Rong’s gaze grew cold as she realized that he was just using that as a way to hit on her.

Besides, Gu Mingchen’s secret had nothing to do with her anyway.

“If we are fated to meet again, it wouldn’t be too late to give you my number then. Besides, I don’t think your girlfriend will like it.” Bai Rong smiled at the girl next to him.

“She’s my colleague, not my girlfriend.” Mu Xiaosheng explained.

“They say that the fox preys farthest from his hole. Mr. Mu, I am impressed at the number of lovers you have.” Bai Rong said coldly.

Mu Xiaosheng felt embarrassed and smiled before quickly leaving with his colleague.

“See what I told you? You’re so beautiful that so many guys are after you! Although they aren’t all great guys…” Liu Yan sighed.

As Bai Rong listened to Liu Yan talk about all the strange tales during her absence, they both ended up drinking more than they should have.

They hailed a taxi home afterwards. Once they got home, they took a shower and climbed straight into bed as they were feeling groggy.

Liu Yan hugged Bai Rong as she cried out, “Rong, don’t leave me again! If you must leave, then take me with you!”

Bai Rong opened her eyes and stared calmly into space for a moment before closing her eyes again.

The next day, Liu Yan started complaining again while she got ready for work reluctantly.

“This sucks, Rong. Do you know that soldiers don’t have festive holidays? They only get a long holiday once a year up to a month, but they don’t have any annual leaves. I don’t want to do this anymore! I want to roam the streets with you!”

“Treat the military base as your home then. That way you get to stay home every day!” Bai Rong said jokingly.

“That’s so mean of you! I’d treat it as my home if you come with me! There’s an old witch there right now, so I can only see it as a prison. Sigh, I’ll get going now. I’ll try to see if I can take the weekend off and go shopping with you.” Liu Yan said as she put on her military uniform.

Bai Rong smiled as she looked at how handsome and cool Liu Yan was in her uniform.

She thought, this is the charm of a soldier. They look cool just by donning the uniform.

After Liu Yan went to work, Bai Rong visited Bai Bing at the hospital.

Instead of going directly to Bai Bing’s ward, she looked for Bai Bing’s doctor in charge instead.

“How is my mother?” Bai Rong asked worriedly.

“She’s getting increasingly absent-minded. You’ll understand when you see her.” The doctor said apologetically.

“How much longer does she have with her condition like this?”

“I’d say five years at most. I advise you to be prepared for the worst, as some can even live up to ten years. To be honest, she’s currently living in a fantasy world of her own. Her being alive is only going to be a burden to her loved ones.” The doctor said harshly.

“I would like to pay for her medical bills for the next ten years. How much does it cost?”

“Ten years? Are you planning on traveling far? You can also just transfer the money over later on. Why do you want to pay it all up front right now?” The doctor was confused.

“I’m going to a place which is isolated from the rest of the world, so I’d like to pay it all at once.” Bai Rong smiled.

The doctor eyed Bai Rong suspiciously, “Please don’t act rashly…”

“It’s nothing of the sort, I assure you.” Bai Rong replied.

“Go have a look at the payment counter. Your mother’s condition is eligible for subsidy by the government, so it shouldn’t cost too much.” The doctor said.

“Thank you.”

Bai Rong went over to the payment counter, and the staff calculated the bills for her, “It costs a hundred and sixty-five thousand eight hundred and forty-two.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Bai Rong checked her bank account and saw that she had a balance of two hundred and thirty-five thousand six hundred and seventy-three.

“I’ll pay two hundred and thirty thousand up front. If my mother passes away before that, please use the remaining amount to pay for her funeral services. If it isn’t enough, you can contact this man on this number.” Bai Rong instructed as she made the payment and gave them Xing Bachuan’s number.

That was what he owed her mother.

After settling the bills, Bai Rong went to Bai Bing’s ward.

Bai Bing didn’t seem to notice Bai Rong, and just muttered to her pillow, “Bachuan, look, Rong is smiling! Rong is really smart! She could say mama when she was only ten months old, and could walk when she was thirteen months old! She could even memorize the entire Three Character Classic at the age of two! She’s smart like you, but pretty like me!”

Bai Rong cried silently as she looked at the smile on Bai Bing’s face.

She had never seen Bai Bing smile for as long as she could remember, but saw it now that she had completely lost her mind.

Oh, the irony…

She wondered if her mother would be in such despair if her family were happily together instead.

Unfortunately for her, there was no such thing.

“Bachuan, thank you for loving me! I will love you forever too! I’m going to feed Rong some milk now, you mustn’t look, alright?” Bai Bing said to the air as she lifted her shirt and pressed the pillow on her chest.

As Bai Rong sat in front of Bai Bing, she immediately stared at Bai Rong defensively, “Don’t take my kid from me! Go away!”

Hearing that made Bai Rong feel sad. She stroked Bai Bing’s hair gently and leaned over to kiss her on the forehead as she said in a soft voice, “Mom, I’m sorry. I can’t take care of you in the future. If there’s an afterlife, I’ll still be your daughter. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”

Bai Bing stared blankly at Bai Rong, “Bachuan said he’d only love me.”

“Yes, he only loves you.” Bai Rong answered.

Bai Bing smiled, “I knew he would only love me. I had nothing back then and was an orphan, but Bachuan went against his family’s objections and married me anyway! He really, really loves me!”

Bai Rong nodded and turned to leave the room.

She didn’t want to end up as pitiful as Bai Bing in the future.

If she was living in a dream right now, then she would rather take her dreams into death.

However, she didn’t know where she could go to end her life.

Drowning oneself in a river was one of the worst ways to die, as the water would rush into her nose and mouth, filling her lungs and suffocating her slowly.

On top of that, her body would float on the river surface after death and give off a terrible rotting smell.

Jumping off a building would end badly for her if she survived it somehow and ended up being disabled instead. Even if she died, her corpse would look horrible.

Drinking poison would take about two to three hours for it to kill her.

Right as she was beginning to lose hope, she thought of slitting her wrists.

It wouldn’t hurt that much, and she could just take a few sleeping pills and die in her sleep.

Although a death from blood loss would make her look terribly pale, it could be fixed with some makeup.

However, she couldn’t trouble Liu Yan by killing herself at her house, nor could she cause trouble for the hotel staff by dying at the hotel either.

She was also afraid of other people finding her body if she were to kill herself in the wilderness, but it would be worse if no one did as she would just end up rotting away.

She didn’t have a home of her own either, so she didn’t have any private and personal space.

In the end, she could only think of Xing Bachuan’s house.

She was his daughter; he should be the one to take responsibility for it.
