You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 59

“Should I send you to the military base first?” Bai Rong asked Gu Mingchen before they set off.

“Let’s go to your place first. I’ll drive. The wound on my arm has almost healed anyway.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice as he hopped into the driver’s seat.

Bai Rong passed him the key and sat next to him.

It was almost noon when they reached Liu Yan’s apartment.

After Bai Rong alighted, Gu Mingchen got out of the car as well.

“Aren’t you going to invite me up?” Gu Mingchen asked.

Bai Rong felt bad to reject since he had already asked. She wondered if Liu Yan was at home.

Bai Rong opened the door and did not see her friend.

She was glad that she had cleaned up the place previously. At least it didn’t look too messy.

While Bai Rong went off to find a pair of slippers for Gu Mingchen to wear, he picked up a book that was on the table.

Bai Rong wanted to snatch it from him, but it was too late.

She was studying Russian and had copied his notes.

“Errr… I accidentally dropped your book in the water and the pages got all crumpled up. I wanted to make a proper copy before returning it to you.” Bai Rong tried to explain.

“I heard that you are learning Russian?” Gu Mingchen asked, as he slowly flipped through the notes that she had copied.

Bai Rong’s handwriting was neater than his. Each stroke was clear and the words looked orderly.

Her handwriting reflected her personality.

She was traditional, serious, rigid, proper…

Bai Rong guessed that it was Liu Yan who told him, and there was nothing for her to hide. “I am intending to.” she admitted.

“It’s not easy for you to self-learn. I’ll teach you.” Gu Mingchen said in his deep voice and sat down on the sofa.

Bai Rong sat next to him.

She was feeling quite awkward. “Why did you learn Russian?”

His eyes darkened, and said, “We had an operation in Russia and got a local translator to help. But the translator intentionally made a wrong translation and caused the death of one of our comrades. From that day onward, I started learning all kinds of languages. How about you? Why do you want to learn Russian?”

“I just felt like learning, I guess.” Bai Rong did not want to tell him the real reason.

The truth was, half of it was because she had some spare time to kill, the other half was because learning Russian made her feel connected to Gu Mingchen.

Previously, Bai Rong had thought that Gu Mingchen and her were not going to cross paths anymore, and she wanted to have some memories of him.

Gu Mingchen saw the blush on her cheeks and said, “Is it because of me?”

Bai Rong let out a laugh and said, “There’s really no special reason.” As she had a guilty conscience, she did not dare to look at him in the eye.

Gu Mingchen stared at Bai Rong’s shy face with bewitching eyes and lifted her chin. “Actually, there’s something else I want to teach you.” he said.

“Huh?”

Gu Mingchen gazed from her beautiful big eyes to her rosy lips and a layer of mist started to form in his eyes. “Remember, you are the only person I will teach. And I am the only person you can learn from.”

Bai Rong realized what Gu Mingchen meant.

But before she had time to process that, he had already started kissing her.

Gu Mingchen did not rush to enter Bai Rong’s mouth. His tongue lingered on her lips, tracing the shape of it while softening her heart, before slowly exploring the inside.

As his hands started unbuttoning her blouse, Bai Rong pushed him away, and said, “I thought we agreed to wait until I am officially divorced?”

Gu Mingchen let go of his grip.

It was too difficult for him to control his urges when he was with her.

He hated her current status.

“Are you hungry? Let’s head out to eat something.” Gu Mingchen changed the topic.

“OK.” Bai Rong stood up immediately and buttoned up her blouse.

Then, they left the apartment.

Bai Rong’s phone rang just as she got into Gu Mingchen’s car.

She took out her phone from her bag and saw Su Xuyan’s name flashing on the phone. She did not want to pick up and cancelled his call.

But he called a second time.

Bai Rong tried to shift into a better state of mind before she picked up. “What’s the matter?”

“Can’t I just call you to chat?” Su Xuyan said in a menacing tone.

“I thought you are always very busy.” Bai Rong replied.

“That’s true. But I’ll always have time for you. You’re not at home now?” Su Xuyan was looking at Bai Rong’s bedroom window as he said that.

Bai Rong did not want the conversation to drag on, so she said, “I’m staying at Liu Yan’s place now. I’m busy, gonna hang up now.”

Bai Rong ended the call without waiting for Su Xuyan’s reply.

“I don’t think you should have told him where you are staying.” Gu Mingchen said coldly.

“He’ll find out even if I don’t tell him. He’s a psycho. If he knows I’m staying with Liu Yan, he wouldn’t dare to play any tricks. He knows what Liu Yan is like.” Bai Rong explained.

“I’ll find you somewhere else to stay tomorrow. I don’t want to give him any chance to bother you.” Gu Mingchen said domineeringly.

Knowing how loving Su Xuyan and Xing Jinnian were, Bai Rong did not think that Su Xuyan would bother her.

But seeing that Gu Mingchen had already made up his mind, she just kept quiet.

Gu Mingchen drove her home after they finished eating.

“Errr, it seems like you have a quite lot of things to handle at the military base, such as Jin’s compensation matters and other stuff.” Bai Rong reminded him.

Indeed, Gu Mingchen needed to be at the military base for a meeting.

“I’ll call you tonight.” Gu Mingchen said in his deep voice.

“OK.”

Shortly after, they reached Liu Yan’s place.

Bai Rong unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.

Gu Mingchen got out of the car too.

“Bai Rong.” He called out to her.

When she looked towards him, Gu Mingchen did not say anything. He just leaned forward and kissed her lips.

Bai Rong’s heart was thumping so hard that it felt as though she had her heart in her mouth.

She was worried that people may see them in the broad daylight and pushed Gu Mingchen away.

Gu Mingchen brushed Bai Rong’s nose with his finger, and said, “Scaredy-cat. When will you stop being scared?”

“Hurry up and go now.” Bai Rong said, as she blushed. She turned around and walked towards the elevator. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The corners of Gu Mingchen’s mouth curved into a smile. He got back into the car and drove off.

Neither of them noticed that there was another car that was parked under the shade.

Su Xuyan narrowed his eyes and a dangerous glint appeared there.

The fact that Bai Rong did not reject Gu Mingchen’s kiss made him very uneasy. It felt like a thorn in his heart.

Su Xuyan was jealous. He was livid with rage.

The thought of Bai Rong blossoming under Gu Mingchen’s care after they divorced unsettled him even more.

He took out his phone and made a call.

Bai Rong saw that it was still Su Xuyan and she cancelled the call without picking up. She really did not feel like talking to him.

Bai Rong took a shower and put her clothes in the laundry. As she recalled Gu Mingchen’s kiss downstairs and also what happened in the guest house, she felt a strange feeling surging through her heart.

Half an hour later, she received a text on her phone.

It was from Liu Yan.

The text said: I’m at the Grand Hyatt hotel, room 1809. Come here immediately. I have something to discuss with you.

Bai Rong was puzzled.

If Liu Yan had something to discuss with her, why didn’t she come home instead? Why did they have to talk in a hotel?

Besides, Liu Yan should have called her instead.

Bai Rong dialed Liu Yan’s number.

Su Xuyan was sitting on the sofa with a menacing look and fiddling Liu Yan’s phone. He saw Bai Rong calling and cancelled the call.

Liu Yan was Bai Rong’s only friend. He knew Bai Rong would definitely turn up even if she was doubtful.

An unfathomable gleam appeared in Su Xuyan’s eyes at that thought. He got up and walked to the bathroom for a shower.

Bai Rong reached room 1809 shortly after. The more she thought about it, the more she suspected something was amiss.

Bai Rong was worried that something might have happened to Liu Yan. Before she arrived, she went to buy a pepper spray and hid it in her bag.

Bai Rong pressed the doorbell and the door opened.

Su Xuyan stood at the door bare-chested, with just a towel wrapped around his waist. His muscular build was on full display…
