You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 412 Come Back To Me

“Let's not talk about this now.” Gu Mingchen did not want to make any promise he may not be able to keep. “You must be hungry now.”

Bai Rong soon realized she had not eaten the whole day, but somehow, she did not feel hungry.

Gu Mingchen turned around and walked out of the ward.

The woman stared blankly at the ceiling and wondered how Liu Yan was doing.

She decided to give Aaron a call to get an update.

"How's she?” she asked, worry lacing her voice.

“She's still a little emotionally unstable because her mother has just been cremated. Shen Yiyan's men were around to monitor her, but they didn't do anything,” Aaron answered in a deep voice. “Please relocate them to Dartan.

Shen Yiyan has an enemy in Dartan, and he wouldn't be able to do anything to her since he doesn't have many connections there,” Bai Rong instructed. “The culprit has failed the assassination twice. They might launch another one soon.”

“All right. I'll look into it tomorrow.” The man paused for a brief moment before he asked, “How are you? I don't think it's fair to blame you for the mishap since you're already well-prepared. In fact, it was my fault for not being able to protect them. I'm sorry.” Aaron seemed genuinely sorry.

“You've tried your best,” Bai Rong said. “All in all, it's still my fault. None of these would happen had I not revealed Liu Yan's whereabouts to Shen Yiyan. I thought I was doing her a favor since Shen Yiyan had confessed his love for her, but I never put myself in Liu Yan's shoes. You don't have to comfort me.” She was willing to bear responsibility for her actions.

Aaron sighed and said, “I'll let you where she stays once she settled down in Dartan. Give her some time to calm down first. I'm sure she'll forgive you. You two are good friends.”

“I'm afraid she'll be even more upset with me because of how close we are. Don't tell me where she is when she arrives. It's safer for her if I don’t know anything,” Bai Rong said apologetically.

“Maybe that's for the best. Don't be too hard on yourself, okay? She has to learn to accept her fate one way or another,” Aaron consoled.

“I hope things improve for her.” Upon seeing Gu Mingchen coming in, Bai Rong said, “Please make the necessary arrangement for Liu Yan. I've got to go now.”

“You're welcome. I'm more than willing to help since you might be Mr. Tang's granddaughter.” Aaron then ended the call

Gu Mingchen placed the packed food beside the table and asked, “Was that Aaron?”

“I wanted him to take good care of Liu Yan,” Bai Rong admitted indirectly.

“Have you ever thought of asking me for help?” the man before her asked in a cold voice.

She replied, “I have my own selfish reasons.”

He somewhat understood what she implied. He unpacked the lunchbox and said, “Please don't think of your man as a useless person.”

Bai Rong stretched out her hands and embraced Gu Mingchen. She rested her head on his waist and said, “I've never thought you as useless. You're an amazing man, but I don’t put want to put you in danger.”

Gu Mingchen gave her a gentle look. “It's not the danger that worries me. What worries me the most is not earning your trust.”

“I won't hide anything from you anymore,” Bai Rong said in a weak voice.

Gu Mingchen pulled her hand away. “You've said the same thing before. You always break your own promises.”

Her mouth twitched at that. She knew she had made too many empty promises. Even she could not believe her own words anymore.

Instead of dwelling on the topic, she looked at the bag and asked, “What did you buy for me?”

“I bought you some stir-fried egg with tomatoes, carrots, and fish chowder. No oily food for you,” Gu Mingchen said, “You must eat more to plump up a little. You're too skinny.”

Bai Rong responded with a grin.

The man kept looking at her as if he was afraid she would go missing again. “You must have weighed sixty kilograms when you attended Ai Wei'er's birthday, right?”

“More or less.” She was a little chubby at that time since she had just stopped taking her medication.

“I like how you looked back then. You look frail and skinny, now,” Gu Mingchen stated warily.

Bai Rong nodded in acknowledgment of his words before she lowered her head and started eating. Gu Mingchen picked a slice of fish, removed all the bones, and put it in her bowl.

She was very touched by his selfless action.

Though he had made many nasty remarks about her, he had always treated her well

Who am I to deserve his love?

She sniffed and tried to hold back her tears. Then, she looked at him and said, “Help me eat some. I can't finish everything.”

So, Gu Mingchen scooped some rice into his bowl. “I want you to move into the villa you visited earlier.”

“It seems a little far. I don't think it's convenient for Yanny to go to school from there. Have you renovated the other villa after the fire?” Bai Rong asked.

Gu Mingchen shot a glance at her and said nonchalantly, “You're not staying with Yanny and Xin.” At that, she looked up at him with a scowl on her pretty face.

A line formed between Gu Mingchen’s brows. “You have to take good care of yourself before you take care of the kids.”

“I will. I will take good care of everyone. I promise!”

“Yanny is not in the country now, and he will not be back so soon. Xin doesn't need your care either. Zhou Hailan is around to look after him,” Gu Mingchen said.

“When is Yanny coming back then? He must be lonely. Should we bring him back? I'm pretty sure our healthcare services are on par with that of the overseas.” Bai Rong missed Yanny very much.

Gu Mingchen gave her a serious look. “I've hired a couple to look after Yanny, so he'll be fine. Your job now is to take good care of yourself.”

Is he trying to keep Yanny away from me?

"He's very sick, isn't he?” Bai Rong was worried.

“Don’t worry. He should be fine for the next three years. In the meantime, take good care of yourself so that we can have three babies.”

Upon seeing how confident he was, she decided to believe what he said.

Gu Mingchen placed another slice of fish in her bowl. “Become my assistant if you're bored.”

“I don't have any experience in such an area, though.”

"You did pretty well during the negotiation with Mo Xue, didn't you?” Gu Mingchen said. "Besides, I'll need you to answer calls, release announcements, organize meetings, and attend some social events with me. I won't make you drink, so don’t worry. All you need to do is bring me home safely when I'm drunk.”

Bai Rong lowered her head and kept mum.

The man put down his chopsticks and then asked, “Or do you want to get married? You can stay home and become a homemaker while getting ready to conceive. That sounds good, doesn't it?"
