You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 118

Bai Rong looked at him with tears brimming, reflecting the beauty of the man before her.

It was not mere affection. She loved him.

She had never felt this way about anyone before, to the point where she was willing to do anything as long as she could be together with him.

“Regardless of how I feel, it does not change our situation.” Bai Rong replied rationally.

“So Rong, that means that you do have feelings for me, right?” Gu Mingchen pressed for an answer while clutching her hands tightly.

Her answer was more than just important to him. It was the only shred of hope in his otherwise miserable existence.

Bai Rong’s eyes shone, but she remained silent.

In the spur of the moment, Gu Mingchen lunged over and pressed his lips to hers.

The kiss was deep and almost violent, and it seemed to engulf both of them. It was rough but emanated with all their unspoken feelings.

He tilted her chin upwards and continued to pepper kisses onto her.

She knew she was supposed to push him away, to strictly follow the plan she had laid out so meticulously.

Yet, she could not help but feel her heart soften.

Such desires were completely out of her control.

Bai Rong gripped his hands even tighter and let her eyes fall shut, but did not kiss him back.

However, she did not push him away either, feeling the full force of his passion on her face.

It was fierce yet gentle.

She really, truly, liked him so outrageously much.

She liked how he favored her, liked his note for her on the wood, and even liked his kisses.

Unknowingly, her hands drifted over to the space left by his missing finger.

For some reason, it felt as though something had suddenly stabbed her heart. It hurt greatly.

She knew she could not let herself fall any further so she mustered up all her strength to push him away, and said to his alluring gaze that pulled at her very being, “I have to go in now.”

“Will you still stay?” Gu Mingchen drew his brows together again while looking at her.

“Gu Mingchen, what kind of person is the Bai Rong whom you like?” Bai Rong asked, tears cascading down her cheeks.

He lowered his head in answer and kissed each pearly, salty tear.

He pressed her forehead against his.

Three years ago, he had met her, dug up information on her and understood her past.

His heart had broken for her and ever since then, she had remained etched on his heart.

Three years later, she had abruptly come to his mind.

She must be happy with her husband now.

She was so perfect, so strong, so independent and with intelligence to boot.

It was only a few months ago when he received the call for additional manpower from the armed forces.

They were not clear on the details, and he had thought that the hostage was Bai Rong, which led him to make a personal appearance.

It was only after arriving he realized that the hostage was not her but her husband’s mistress.

He felt like Bai Rong was his responsibility. If her husband was treating her any less than she deserved, then he would gladly take his place.

The more they interacted, the harder he fell.

He never expected that his feelings would cause her another kind of trouble.

He wanted to become even stronger, so unquestionably mighty that he would be able to protect her against anything that came her way.

“You do not have to do anything. I want to become the kind of person you would like.” Gu Mingchen said as his voice trembled with emotion. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Bai Rong looked at him tearfully saying, “Go and do what you have to, spare no thought for me. It is the only way that I would have the space to struggle.”

“You will wait for me, right?” Gu Mingchen asked cautiously.

He was always so confident, overbearing and astute, except when it came to his feelings for her.

He feared that she would give up easily.

“Time does not stop here. Even if you get married, you can still get divorced. The only everlasting confession is life. Do not make promises so easily, for I will not.” Bai Rong said as she exited the car.

Gu Mingchen slammed his fist into the car door.

Time does not stop here. Even if you get married, you can still get divorced. The only everlasting confession is life.

Was she hinting at something?

Bai Rong returned to Room 1829.

Shying away from the situation was not an option.

If these people wanted to come after her, they would find a way to do so even if she changed rooms.

She needed this room to serve as a reminder for her to stay vigilant.

She needed to learn to protect herself.

It was obvious that someone meant to do her harm, that there was someone here that wanted to get rid of her, and that they could be colluding with people from the prosecutor’s office.

Bai Rong’s phone sounded with a text message alert.

She opened it and saw that it came from Gu Mingchen.

He texted: Tomorrow I will assign people to protect and assist you under the name of B City’s Discipline Inspection Office.

This text message smashed into her heart like a heavy boulder.

She felt her heart begin to tremble vehemently.

After sending the text, Gu Mingchen made his way to the bathroom.

Since she was so adamant on staying, then all he could do was to support her to his greatest ability.

Gu Mingchen walked into the bathroom but heard a rustle from behind and spun around, then briskly changing course to the sky garden instead.

Bai Rong had just climbed over.

His eyes shone at the sight of her and he was rendered speechless for a moment before uttering, “Rong.”

Bai Rong threw herself into Gu Mingchen’s embrace as she wrapped her arms around his waist and started to heave with tears.

His text had torn down all the walls she had just spent the last two months building.

She actually really, really missed him.

Gu Mingchen returned her hug, squeezing her tightly as his eyes clouded over, pupils dilated.

The bedside lamp glowed dimly, shrouding the pair in a cloak of warmth and melancholia.

Gu Mingchen peppered kisses onto Bai Rong’s body as she circled her arms around his waist, drawing him nearer to her.

When he entered her, she felt the pain pricking, and could not help but frown slightly.

His breaths became heavier as he lifted her chin and admired her in the light, continuing his assault on her lips.

It was a very effective balm.

She became more ardent, like an exquisite morning rose that had bloomed under his mindful care.

Afterwards, she remained in his arms, enjoying the afterglow. “Why are you here? Is it for business or for personal reasons? Where are Lieutenant Shang and the others?”

Gu Mingchen’s hands rested on her stomach, patiently explaining, “I have business in the neighboring city but came here for personal reasons. I think Tangqian Village’s massacre is connected to Lu Liangcheng. He used to be the town mayor and since that incident, he has been quickly moving up the ranks. There must be some unsavory tradeoffs happening behind the scenes. Director Chen of the armed forces here used to serve together with me so I asked him to help investigate. Hence, we had a meal at Restaurant del Luna. I never thought I would run into you.”

Bai Rong turned to look at him, her eyes twinkling. “Were you planning on forgetting me?”

Gu Mingchen smiled as he looked at her amidst the light. “There were many times when I wanted to go and find you, but you said that you would not forgive me right? If I went to look for you, I was afraid of putting your life in danger. The best way I could keep you safe was to let you go.”

“So, we should never see each other for the rest of our lives, right?” Bai Rong choked out as she turned away from him, tears flowing freely down her cheeks.

Gu Mingchen held her tightly, spooning her. “Bai Rong, I have already thought of a solution. Trust me, in less than two years, I will make you my one and only lawfully wedded wife.”
