Chapter 83
Bai Rong chased after Su Xuyan. He drove off, so she took a taxi to tail him. He went back to his villa. Xing Jinnian could be seen standing in front of his front door from afar.
The woman greeted Su Xuyan when she saw him. In return, he lowered his head and kissed her lips for fifteen seconds before they went inside.
Bai Rong lowered her eyes which were as clear as spring water.
This was not an appropriate time to return the jewelry to Su Xuyan. This action was more like a taunt towards Xing Jinnian. All she ever wanted was a peaceful and quiet life.
“Ma“am, are you getting off?” The taxi driver looked at Bai Rong strangely and asked.
“No, I want to go home. I'll give you the address.” Bai Rong said lightly.
“Ma'am, are you here to catch him cheating on you? I mean, come on. Where can you find a wealthy man that is not promiscuous? As long as you have your status as the legal wife, you don’t have to mind all the mistresses outside. You'll be good as long as you stand firm.” The taxi driver laughed and said mockingly.
Bai Rong said nothing and looked outside. The sky was getting very dark and there was no moonlight. It looked like it was going to rain soon.
An hour later, Bai Rong got off the taxi and saw Gu Mingchen. He didn't go up, but just looked at the window of her room with a cigarette between his slender fingers. The light from the cigarette butt was dimming and it was reflected in his eyes which were as dark as the black ink.
Bai Rong didn't know what to say to him.
Perhaps he noticed her gaze; his eyes gleamed and he put out the cigarette. He pushed the car door and stepped out of the car with his long legs.
"Where have you been? I called and texted you but you didn’t answer any of it.” Gu Mingchen said. “You called me? I didn't notice at all.” Bai Rong pulled out her phone from her bag then saw his missed calls and two text messages.
The first text message read: Where are you?
The second text message read: I'm here to get the Russian language book.
It was four hours ago. Bai Rong felt guilty and apologized, “You have been waiting here for a long time? Why don't you go up and chill?”
“I sent a message to Liu Yan. She said that you are not at home and will call me when you are back. I have not heard from her yet, so I decided to just wait here.” Gu Mingchen explained.
Bai Rong lowered her eyes and turned around, “Come with me. I will return the book to you.” Noticing her nonchalant attitude, he was a little under the weather as well.
“I heard that you are divorced?” Gu Mingchen asked her softly.
“Yep.” Bai Rong pressed the upward button of the elevator and stood quietly.
He held her hand but she pulled her hand out of his palm.
"What's the matter?” Gu Mingchen asked, feeling puzzled. Bai Rong didn't know the reason for her behavior either.
Her rationality told her that she should not have any contact with Gu Mingchen anymore but for some reason her heart always ended up moving towards him.
"Have you eaten?” Bai Rong raised her head and asked him with the intention to change the topic. Gu Mingchen furrowed his brows slightly, “Not yet.”
“Me too. There should still be some ingredients in the refrigerator; I'll make you something.” The girl said softly.
But he just looked at her coldly. She was standing very close to him physically but somehow she felt distant; she was rather incomprehensible.
The elevator arrived with a ding sound. Gu Mingchen entered first, followed by Bai Rong who lowered her head and kept a safe distance from him.
The chief's look turned cold and he watched the elevator go up one floor by another. Taking her arm, he pulled her to his side and put his hand gently on her waist. The temperature of his palm was high and she could feel the heat transferring from her clothes to her skin.
Bai Rong's back was stiff and she was looking straight ahead.
“I have sent the documents issued by the military base to your hospital and asked the hospital to submit the application form in three days. I had specifically asked for you.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice.
Bai Rong didn't utter a single word and frowned slightly. Truth to be told, she didn't really feel like going.
He waited for a while, but seeing that she didn't plan to answer, he looked at her, “I can protect you if you are at the military base, so that you don’t have to be anxious about anything in the future.” “Can I come out casually if I'm at the military base?” Bai Rong asked.
"You can as long as you apply for it. You are a doctor, therefore you will receive special treatment. But sometimes you have to work overtime as well; because the soldiers will conduct sudden training at night and emergency cases happen frequently.” Gu Mingchen explained.
“Can I...not go?” Bai Rong said softly, but was immediately rejected by a firm “No.”
Seeing how unwilling and troubled she was, yet she refused to say anything, “Am I so untrustworthy to you?” He asked coldly.
“Of course not.”
“Is that so?" Gu Mingchen asked a rhetorical question.
Ding! The elevator door opened.
He pulled her out from the elevator then pressed her against the wall; leaned over and kissed her soft lips aggressively. Startled, she pushed his shoulders but her strength was as light as a feather to him.
He kissed her more deeply so that she could not refuse, but as a matter of fact. he had been longing to do so when he saw her just now.
The panting woman knew she couldn't resist the man, but she was not a naive little girl either. Since she did everything with him before, she would be hypocritical if she was to continue resisting him. She didn't push him away, and neither did she respond to his kiss. He continued to kiss her and only let go of her when she was out of breath.
“I really have no idea what's going on in your mind. Since you and Su Xuyan are already divorced, shouldn't you be thinking about us? I am not young anymore and should be settling down soon. What do you think?” Gu Mingchen asked in a low voice with his body pressing against hers. His breath landed on her face as he spoke, exuding a domineering and arrogant aura.
"Gu Mingchen, I just got divorced and now you want me to get married again? Besides, both of your parents know who I am. Do you think this is appropriate?” Bai Rong reminded him.
“They may not get used to it; they may not accept it; but they have no rights to oppose that. No one can stop whatever I want to do. OK, this discussion ends here. Get in.” Gu Mingchen stopped and ended all her intentions to oppose their budding state. She realized it was hard for her to dispute anything he said.
When Bai Rong opened the door, Liu Yan saw her and Gu Mingchen, who was behind her.
She immediately carried her bag and said sensibly, “Bai Rong, you came back at the right time. I have an appointment with some friends to play mahjong later and I'm not coming back tonight.” “Liu Yan.” Bai Rong shouted because she didn't want her to leave.
“I'm sorry, Rong. They are short of one person and if I don't go now, they'll definitely give me a piece of their mind. Well, see you then.” Liu Yan waved then winked her right eye at Gu Mingchen playfully and left.
