You Owe Me, My Love

“Just tell me frankly. Did you do it or not?” Su Junhao was very serious.

“No.” Gu Mingchen said with certainty, while looking ahead sharply.

“Come over to my place.” Su Junhao said and hung up the phone.

Gu Mingchen looked at Bai Rong.

She didn't know how to face him, so she turned her face away.

He held her chin so that she was facing him and kissed her lips, but was being pushed away.

He let go of her as she wished and his eyes darkened as he said, “Don't leave me.”

Hearing his words, her heart tightened.

What he said was declarative in a commanding tone.

However, it also sounded like he was pleading.

Was she imagining things?

He was a dignified chief, resolute and domineering. How could he plead?

"Something came up. I'll stop a taxi for you.” Gu Mingchen got out of the car and stopped a taxi. Bai Rong didn't reject him and got into the car.

The man then gave the taxi driver a hundred and said, “Sky Apartment.”

Bai Rong was a little confused.

She was not a person who was easily dazzled by love.

She asked herself honestly what did she even have? Except for above average figure and looks, she didn't seem to be good in any ways. But such a woman could be easily found elsewhere.

She had a bad personality; she was harsh, cold and indifferent. Why would Gu Mingchen offend everyone for her?

She didn't believe that he could love her so much after knowing her for barely a month Unwittingly, she arrived home.

“Bai Rong, have you heard that our state governor was assassinated? Our hospital is the nearest to the prosecutor's office where the accident occurred, so he was sent to our hospital to be resuscitated. But the rescue attempt failed and he died.” Liu Yan gossiped, while eating potato chips. Bai Rong glanced at her friend. She wanted to speak but swallowed her words and sat on the sofa. Liu Yan sat opposite Bai Rong and started speculating, “The accident happened at the prosecutor's office. Maybe this governor was involved in bribery, or he knew some other secrets and was murdered.”

"You've heard about this rumor, then what about the news of Gu Mingchen getting married?” Bai Rong asked.

Liu Yan was surprised and put down the potato chip box in shock, “Gu Mingchen is getting married?!”

Bai Rong looked at her friend earnestly, “Yan, I want you to answer me honestly. Do you think Gu Mingchen will fall in love with me? Or, is he just trying to have some fun?”

"Do you want me to be completely honest?” Liu Yan was a little embarrassed.

"Of course.” Bai Rong was perplexed.

“First of all, I recently asked my dad about Gu Mingchen’s personality. He has a good reputation. Other than the ex-girlfriend who died five years ago when he was on a mission, he has always been pure and self-loving and was never involved in any scandals, let alone having affairs. Secondly, this man has a heavy sense of responsibility, awe-inspiring justice and is sentimental. You've slept with him before, so he will definitely be responsible for you. Thirdly, you said he is getting married? This is too sudden, do you think there could be some hidden facts?” Liu Yan guessed.

"So what if there is?” Bai Rong asked and lowered her eyes.

“You know, I think that the best kind of love is when two people stay by each other's side and support each other no matter what happens. Although it might not be easy to tell a person's true character within a short period of time, you might be left with regrets if you don't at least try your best.” Liu Yan observed her friend's expression while she spoke.

“Perhaps, most mistresses think that they are truly in love with the man, which was the reason that landed another woman in a tragic state.” Bai Rong said rationally.

“Isnt Gu Mingchen still unmarried? If I were you, I will support him by his side until he gets married. Only then, I will give up on him forever.”

Liu Yan's last words touched Bai Rong a lot.

She definitely had feelings for Gu Mingchen, or perhaps, it was more than just having feelings.

She wanted to fight for him.

“I know what I ought to do now.” Bai Rong took her bag and left.

She wanted to wait for him at the military base, but was worried that it might cause him trouble. So she unblocked Gu Mingchen’s number and sent him a message: I want to meet you. Where is more appropriate?

After about ten seconds, he replied: Go to the underground parking lot C-10 at Jinjiang International Hotel. Someone will pick you up.

Okay. Bai Rong replied, then took a deep breath and got into the taxi.

Gu Mingchen put his phone away and the look of his eyes softened a little.

“Mingchen, you must find the murderer who killed Governor Cheng. Otherwise, Uncle Su will think that you were the one who did it. Furthermore, your wedding with Wanning has to be held as scheduled.” Gu Tianhang paced anxiously in the study room.

Gu Mingchen looked at his father with a deep gaze. “Won't Uncle Su also think that it was dad who did it?”

“Rascal.” Gu Tianhang slammed on the table and continued, “Am I the kind of person who would do such things?”

“Tianhang, how much do you think Governor Cheng told Su Zheng?” Song Xiyu was rather worried. “It doesn’t matter how much he said. Once Governor Cheng died, the recording of me calling him would vanish with him.” Gu Tianhang heaved a sigh of relief.

"Will Governor Cheng tell Su Zheng where he kept the recording?”

“Governor Cheng is not a fool. If he confesses the location of the recording, he would be long dead. He needed the recording to save his life, so I am sure Su Zheng is still not aware of where the recording is kept,” Gu Tianhang said confidently.

“Are you sure you didn’t do it?" Song Xiyu said suspiciously.

"Of course not! How is that possible?” Gu Tianhang's eyes widened and said with certainty.

“I'm afraid they wouldn't think so.” His wife sighed.

Gu Mingchen smirked and negotiated, “I will find out the real culprit and you will allow me to marry Bai Rong. How about that?”

"What are you talking about? I am being wronged now and you still want to marry that b*tch? She is Su Xuyan's ex-wife and that will make us a laughingstock. I won't allow it!" Gu Tianhang said irritably.

Gu Mingchen stood up, “Then I have nothing to say. Anyway, I won't marry Su Wanning.”

“Don’t you dare!” Gu Tianhang roared furiously but his son had already turned around resolutely. Song Xiyu furrowed her brows and took her husband's arm, “Okay, we agree.”

"Why did you agree?” Gu Tianhang gritted his teeth.

“Even if you don't, will you be able to stop him?” Song Xiyu smiled and looked at her son, “If you can find the murderer, we will agree to your marriage with Bai Rong.”

Gu Mingchen’s mood had been gloomy for a few days and finally he was able to smile cheerfully. “I will give you a satisfactory answer before the engagement.” He turned around and left.

Thirty minutes later, he arrived at his secret villa. It was Bai Rong who opened the door. Before she even spoke, he leaned over and kissed her passionately. Then, he turned her around and pushed her against the wall next to the door.

The kiss was overwhelming and the couple's breaths were getting heavier. Gu Mingchen was coming on so strongly and violently that it made Bai Rong pant.

She had no idea what had gotten into him. Nevertheless, she was rather moved by his determination to be with her.

Gu Mingchen took off her clothes while kissing her...
