You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 140

Gu Mingchen realized he was being rude and let go of her before resuming his usual cool and distant self.

“There’s one thing that has been bugging me all these while. I wish you could enlighten me on this, Ms. Bai.” Gu Mingchen inquired seriously.

Bai Rong smiled in reply. “I’ve read a book before. It mentioned that man is bound to experience 3 things he would feel sorry for; 3 things he would feel regretful for; and 3 things he would feel proud of. Since they are bound to happen, then just let it go instead of holding on to it. I have to check on your sister now. She had just given birth and needs to be monitored.”

Bai Rong turned around to leave.

Still staring at her cold figure, Gu Mingchen had to ask, “Is your departure from Jinyang City’s prosecutor’s office related to me?”

Bai Rong stopped herself and eyed him. Her gaze was distant but filled with mature confidence. “My departure is because of my condition and had nothing to do with others. Chief Gu, there’s no need to overthink this matter.”

Gu Mingchen’s eyes darkened further. His eyes were as black as the dark abyss and swirled with undecipherable emotions.

Bai Rong reentered the room with the baby and asked the mother lying on the bed, “Do you prefer breastfeeding or feeding with milk powder?”

“I plan to breastfeed. Milk powders nowadays are full of unknown substances. My baby is too young; I’m scared that these substances will harm his growth.” Xue answered firmly.

Bai Rong adjusted the plane seat and let Xue sit up straighter. Then, she pulled up her shirt and latched the baby’s mouth on his mother’s breast.

“Ouch, that hurts a bit.” Xue complained, but her heart was filled with overwhelming happiness.

Bai Rong’s expression softened at the endearing sight. “Ever heard of first milk? It is said that if the first mouthful of milk is sucked from the milk bottle, the baby will get used to the bottle very fast. Same goes to feeding milk powder.”

“Yes, I’ve heard that before. Thank you, doctor.” Xue replied gratefully.

Once the baby was done feeding, the doctor placed the baby on the seat next to his mother.

The little baby was fast asleep, his little tongue unconsciously licked his red lips in satisfaction as he slept. It was an adorable sight to behold.

“You should take a rest too, doctor. You must be tired after helping me. Thank you.”

“You can remain lying until you feel good enough to move around, but not more than 2 hours. There should be sanitary pads available for emergency use. I’ll let the stewardess get that for you. Your baby has just left the amniotic fluid and may not be used to the external environment, so he will cry later. Don’t need to feed too much milk at one time. His stomach has a very small capacity and he’ll vomit if you feed too much, which may cause choking. Make sure to feed him more frequently instead, maybe around 4 to 5 times a day. If he vomits, then make him sit straight up and pat his back. However, if he cries, try not to carry him immediately; it will become habitual later.” Bai Rong informed the mother of everything she could remember in babysitting.

“Alright, doctor. You’re such a kind person! I’m glad we happened to be on the same flight, otherwise I don’t think my baby and I will be so lucky to meet a doctor as good as you! Which hospital are you from? I want to give you a banner to express my gratitude.” Xue praised the doctor gratefully.

However, Bai Rong avoided her question with a faint smile. “Just rest.”

The girl left the room, only to find Gu Mingchen still waiting outside the door.

The doctor nodded in a detached manner and returned to her seat.

“Mingchen, this doctor is such a kind person! Please help me to get her contact once we touch down. I must express my gratitude for her great help.” Xue pleaded to her brother.

“Ok.”

Bai Rong did not come out from her room afterwards and slept deeply. By the time she was awake, the plane was about to touch down A City in half an hour’s time.

She took the night flight, hence she would be reaching A City at around 7.30 a.m..

The girl took her toiletries and washed herself up. Once she was done washing up and applying her make-up, the girl walked out of the toilet, only to run into Gu Mingchen again by the door.

“Sorry.” Bai Rong gestured to let him in.

The man did not enter the toilet though. Instead, he requested in his husky voice, “I’m purposely waiting for you at the toilet. My sister insists on thanking you, so she asked me to get your number.”

“It’s just a small matter. Any doctor will do the same, so don’t take it to heart.” Bai Rong smiled in reply.

Suddenly, the plane made a plunge. The plane shook following the turbulence caused by the plunge.

With his hands on her waist, Gu Mingchen stabilized Bai Rong and prevented her fall.

She could feel the warmth from his hands seeping past her clothes into her skin.

Bai Rong stiffened, unwilling to have such skin contact with the man before her.

Despite having problems balancing herself, the girl swiftly detached herself from the man and wobbled back to her seat.

The stewardess announced that the plane was about to touch down at A City and requested all passengers to remain seated.

“Mingchen, did you get her number?” Xue asked.

Her brother shook his head, his eyes as brooding as ever.

“Please help me get it! I really like her. If there’s anything with my baby, I can ask for her help! Please, my dearest brother, pleaseeee!” Xue pleaded cutely.

“I’ve met her before; I can ask my men to find out about her.” Gu Mingchen promised.

“Thank you, Mingchen! You’re the best brother in the whole wide world!”

The plane touched down at A City.

Gu Mingchen could see Bai Rong taking her own luggage and was walking fast away from the plane, as though she was running away from something.

It was the beginning of spring and rain was drizzling down A City, making the morning air much fresher than usual.

Bai Rong took a deep breath of the cool air and the smell of her hometown warped around her nose. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The girl proceeded to the taxi stand to wait for an empty car. However, due to the appearance of a VIP in the airport, one of the roads was blocked. The taxis had to take another route and came in very slowly to the stand.

Common sense told Bai Rong that the VIP was no other than Gu Mingchen.

She continued waiting patiently in line and fished out her phone. Upon scrolling past Liu Yan’s number, the girl smiled knowingly and dialed the number.

“Rong! What an early call from you!” Liu Yan was excited to receive her friend’s call.

“Guess where I am now?” Bai Rong asked with a smile.

A sudden thought flashed across Liu Yan’s mind. “Don’t tell me you’re at the airport now. Why didn’t you tell me! I’m coming over to fetch you now.”

“No need. I need to see my mother first. It’s still so early. Focus on your work and we’ll have dinner together. My treat this time.”

“Where are you going to stay? Why not come to my place?”

“I’m staying in a hotel. Hehe, I bet you hardly stayed in your place these days. No point going there if I can’t see you.” Bai Rong replied smilingly.

Gu Mingchen glanced at the girl and muttered at his subordinate.

The said subordinate then approached Bai Rong and saluted at her. “Chief said he can give you a ride. Where do you wish to go? I’ll drive you there.”

“Oh, no need to trouble him. Thanks for the offer anyway.” Bai Rong rejected politely.

“No need this and no need that. You’re rejecting all of my offers. Am I that scary for you to avoid me like that?” Gu Mingchen approached Bai Rong with his stern face.

His appearance changed the atmosphere into a tense and heavy one around her.

Bai Rong allowed herself a wry smile.

Like what he said, if she continued to reject him, it would make her look like a scaredy-cat who was avoiding him out of fear.

The girl was not afraid of him, but she indeed wanted to avoid him. She didn’t want him to know that she was partially guilty of his accusations, so she couldn’t reject his offer.

“Fine, I’ll take up the offer then. Sorry to trouble you.” Bai Rong nodded.

The chief’s subordinates took her luggage and placed it in the car booth.

When she was in the car, Bai Rong realized that his sister did not follow him.

“Where’s the lady who came with you?” Bai Rong asked nonchalantly.

“I’ve asked my subordinates to send her to the hospital. I need to go back to the military base first and I can drop you along the way. Where are you heading to?” Gu Mingchen asked flatly, his gaze never lingered on the girl.

“Huai De Psychiatric Hospital, please.” Bai Rong replied politely.

Gu Mingchen eyed the girl and asked directly, “Were we together before?”
