You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 189

Liu Yan didn’t know what she wanted, but the uncomfortable feeling eventually subsided. After the deed was done, she rolled over and fell asleep.

Shen Yiyan stared at her with an infatuated look on his face. He gently swept her bangs to one side.

Three years ago, when they had first done it, he had started to love her with a fierce obsession.

He had never given up on chasing her all these while, and he wasn’t intending to. No matter how many suitors she had, he dealt with them one by one.

She could either die alone or be with him for the rest of her life…

Bai Rong finally received the personal details of Tony’s last customer that day. She was a Diamond Member.

As she scanned through the details, she had to admit that she felt rather stunned.

Su Wanning.

Tony’s last customer had been Su Wanning. Thus, Mu Xiaosheng had probably been taken away by Su Zheng.

It was worse than what she had imagined.

If it was only a normal high-ranking official, one word from Gu Mingchen would resolve the entire issue.

However, Su Zheng’s rank was higher than Gu Mingchen’s, and he was a hot favorite for the position of the new commander-in-chief.

This wasn’t going to be easy.

Bai Rong didn’t dare to act impulsively so she dialed Gu Mingchen’s number.

He picked up the phone on the first ring.

“Um, Gu Mingchen, I have a suspicion that Su Wanning’s father Su Zheng was the one who took Mu Xiaosheng away. What are we going to do now?”

“I’ve already guessed that it’s him when you mentioned Tony, Qing Feng Xu Lai and the ladies’ club. Don’t worry, I’ve already settled the matter and Mu Xiaosheng has already been released. Keep out of this matter from now on. Mu Xiaosheng will be fully in charge.”

Bai Rong was speechless.

“Since you already knew, why did you still ask Chief Zhang and I to investigate the matter?”

“I was only guessing. There was no harm in a second opinion. I’ll ask someone to fetch you home now. Have a good rest. See you tomorrow.” As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mingchen hung up immediately, leaving her no room to protest.

See you tomorrow?

Is he coming back tomorrow?

They had agreed not to bother each other anymore, but she did owe him a meal after all. It wouldn’t be good to just ignore him.

Gu Mingchen had brought up Mu Xiaosheng’s release so blandly. It led her to imagine all sorts of horrible possibilities about what had happened in between.

She should treat Gu Mingchen to a meal.

Bai Rong went home. In order to wake up bright and early the next morning, she took some pills and went to sleep immediately.

In the morning, she woke up naturally. When she opened her eyes, Gu Mingchen was lying next to her with his face facing hers. His hand was encircling her waist quite naturally.

Bai Rong was shocked. “What are you doing here?”

Gu Mingchen didn’t open his eyes. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down in a rather provocative manner. “Sleep with me for a while more.”

Bai Rong took a close look at him and saw that he did in fact look quite tired.

It was nearly 9 p.m. when she called him on the phone. If he had gotten onto the train at 9 p.m., he would have arrived in A City at around 4 a.m..

Deducing that, she didn’t say anything and kept completely silent.

She didn’t think that she would fall asleep again. After all, her sleep quality had never been good and she had only been able to sleep at night all along because of the sleeping pills. However, after a while, she slowly nodded off to sleep again.

After a long while, Bai Rong was woken up again by Gu Mingchen’s movement. She opened her eyes and asked, “What time is it?”

Glancing at his phone, Gu Mingchen replied, “It’s 12 p.m..”

Bai Rong couldn’t believe that she had slept for that long.

Sitting up, she said, “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to lunch.”

Gu Mingchen pressed her back down onto the bed. “Let’s do something else before we get lunch.”

Seeing his lips get closer and closer to hers, Bai Rong held up a hand to cover her mouth.

Gu Mingchen frowned. “Bai Rong, don’t make me angry.”

“I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.” Bai Rong said haplessly.

Gu Mingchen froze for a while. Then he let go of her and headed into the toilet to wash up.

Bai Rong joined him in the toilet too. As she squeezed out the toothpaste, she saw Gu Mingchen walk right into the glass shower cubicle and start showering in front of her.

She accidentally caught a glimpse of his crotch area. It was standing at attention.

Flushing with embarrassment, Bai Rong tried to finish brushing her teeth. She patted a few drops of facial cleansing milk onto her face and ran some water over it.

After he had finished showering, Gu Mingchen came and stood behind her. Wearing only a bath towel around his waist, he looked at her, his eyes glittering smugly. “Do you want to shower, too?”

Returning his gaze, Bai Rong stared into his dark eyes. Seeing the lust within them, she felt a little shaken.

Had they gone back into the past?

She shook her head. “I showered last night. I still have to report to the research institute later. I’m already late for work.”

Gu Mingchen looked at her with a rather annoyed look in his eyes and asked, “Aren’t you an external staff? Mu Xiaosheng said that you don’t have to go into the office at all. He told me that you work alone.”

Bai Rong was speechless again.

How did Gu Mingchen know everything?

She felt as though she had shot herself in the foot.

“Do you not want to do it?” Gu Mingchen had correctly guessed what she was thinking.

Bai Rong lowered her head in embarrassment. “I’m hungry. I didn’t eat lunch yesterday, dinner was bad, and I skipped breakfast today too. I’m so hungry that my stomach hurts.”

“Oh. It’s my fault for forgetting. Let’s go have lunch first then. You don’t mind helping me wash the clothes I’m going to change out of, do you?” Gu Mingchen asked.

Bai Rong scanned him warily.

He was talking about his underwear. It would have to be dry-cleaned.

As though she was in a trance, she nodded.

Gu Mingchen smiled, rather satisfied with her answer. He turned and left the bathroom.

Bai Rong followed him out. It was then she realized that he had brought his suitcase along too.

“Don’t you have to report to the military base these few days?” Bai Rong asked, rather surprised.

“I’ll be going back soon. I still have a lot of things to do at the base.” Gu Mingchen said in a low voice.

Bai Rong breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

Her reaction had been caught by Gu Mingchen. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes grew colder by a few degrees.

He changed his clothes right in front of her, as though they were a couple who had been married for a long time. Bai Rong wasn’t so comfortable with it, however, and she escaped into the bathroom to change.

Then, they headed to the nearby Shuiyue International to eat at the restaurant.

Bai Rong remembered how they had come here to eat three years ago. She should have simply cut off their relationship then.

“Do you want some ice cream?” Gu Mingchen asked her.

Bai Rong saw the ice cream store and smiled.

It was still the same ice cream store. Even the owner hadn’t changed. “On our first date, you asked if I wanted to eat ice cream and I said no. But you bought three of them and told me to hold on to them for you. In the end, I ate the ice-cream, and you gave your share to the other kids.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“That sounds like something I would do.” Gu Mingchen didn’t acknowledge if he had done it.

“Two-faced?” Bai Rong commented.

“If I had really done that, then it means that I liked you back then.” Gu Mingchen said in a low voice.

Bai Rong’s eyes quivered slightly. She looked askance at Gu Mingchen and matched his gaze.

Gu Mingchen considered her. “You don’t believe that?”

Bai Rong didn’t want to continue this guessing game with him. She wanted them to finally come to a decision about their relationship instead of wasting each other’s time. “Gu Mingchen, the girl that you’re truly in love with is Zhou Hailan.”

Gu Mingchen looked very peaceful. His expression hadn’t changed at all.

She didn’t understand him, nor could she ever see through his intentions.

“Bai Rong, have you ever loved Su Xuyan?” Gu Mingchen replied with a question of his own.

“Our situations aren’t the same.”

“But both of our relationships ended up the same way, didn’t they?” Gu Mingchen retorted.

“I don’t care a bit for Su Xuyan anymore, but you still love Zhou Hailan, don’t you?” Bai Rong asked.
