You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 25

“What’s the difference whether I like you or not?” Gu Mingchen asked meaningfully.

“I’m a married woman and I’m not going to cross the bottom line of morality and play with others’ feelings. I believe there are a lot of people who like you, Chief. You don’t have to play with fire.” Bai Rong answered in a serious manner.

Gu Mingchen stared at her with a look that seemed calm on the surface but was in fact ominous.

“Play with fire. Interesting.” Gu Mingchen said ambiguously with a smirk on his face.

“Furthermore, we have just met each other a few times. You might have some good impressions on me, but please just leave it as that.” Bai Rong explained clearly and straightforwardly. She believed Gu Mingchen was a wise person and was able to understand what she meant.

Gu Mingchen glanced at her bowl and said, “Let’s eat.” So the two again lowered their heads to continue eating. At that moment, the door was pushed open. Gu Tianhang was standing at the door sizing Bai Rong up and down seriously.

“Dad, why are you here?” Gu Mingchen frowned slightly. His father walked over and threw the files on the table.

“What you did recently is ridiculous. Doctors of Special Forces must be transferred from the military area. How could ordinary doctors be qualified?” Gu Tianhang questioned his son.

“This is my problem, not yours.” Gu Mingchen dropped his chopsticks and leaned onto the chair.

Gu Tianhang didn’t even look at Bai Rong. His vision was locked on Gu Mingchen and he asked sternly, “Who is she? Who allows you to bring a dubious woman to the military base.”

Gu Mingchen’s eyes gleamed.

He stood up with his body turning frigid and said in a very deep voice, “Reporting to commander-in- chief, this is my special military district, not your congress nor your CIA. If you think I have neglected my duty, you can report to the management. But don’t meddle with my private life. If there is nothing else, you may leave now.”

“Watch your tone! What if she is a spy? You’re gonna ruin your future.” The father gritted his teeth in anger.

“If she is, send me to the military court for the country’s sanctions regardless of our relationship as father and son. However, you have no right to interfere in my interactions with anyone before she is proved to be a spy.” Gu Mingchen said indifferently.

“You are destroying your own future.”

“That’s my business.”

Gu Tianhang had no choice and ordered domineeringly, “You must attend tomorrow’s banquet. Otherwise, I will announce to the media at the party that Su Wanning is your fiancée, the daughter-in- law recognized by Gu family.

“Do you think this is fun?” Gu Mingchen said rebelliously. He hated the arranged life awfully.

“Of course. I do it for your own good.” Gu Tianhang said in an autocratic tone.

He looked at Bai Rong and said stately, “Don’t step into the military base anymore. This is not a place for you to come. You should know your place even if you demean yourself.”

Bai Rong stood up and walked towards the door. it was normal to feel upset to be scolded like that.

Gu Mingchen took her arm and looked at his father arrogantly, “She is a friend I invited. You may not understand it, but please show some respect.”

“Respect?!” Gu Tianhang took a pistol out and pointed it at Gu Mingchen’s head, “I can kill you if you are disobeying me.”

Gu Mingchen took a step forward and put his forehead against the muzzle fearlessly. The gun was already on the go and it was ready to fire. The father was unable to back down in such a situation.

Gu Mingchen unyieldingly ignored the fears. The atmosphere was eerily scary. Bai Rong’s heart was beating like mad.

“I think I should go now. My husband is still waiting for me at home.” Bai Rong withdrew her hand and bowed to the man, “Thank you, Chief, for saving my life. It was rude of me to visit you here.”

Then, she turned and bowed to Gu Tianhang, “Please don’t get Chief wrong; I was thinking that the military and civilians are a family. Chief rescued me in the hostage case previously. I will not come here anymore if you don’t like it. I’ll leave now.” She fled without looking back.

“She is here to thank you? A married woman?” Gu Tianhang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Bai Rong’s explanation and took this opportunity to take the pistol away as he found a way out of this embarrassing situation.

Gu Mingchen didn’t reply and shouted: “Lieutenant Shang.” Lieutenant Shang came in and nodded tremblingly. “Send her back.” The man ordered.

“Roger.”

As soon as Bai Rong reached the door, Lieutenant Shang rushed out.

“Ms. Bai, please hold on. Chief asked me to send you back.”

“It’s alright. I’ll take a cab.” Bai Rong refused.

“I have something to tell you,” said Lieutenant Shang.

“What?”

“Let’s talk in the car.” Lieutenant Shang opened the door.

Bai Rong had no choice but to get in. While driving, Lieutenant Shang looked at her in the rear mirror.

“I think Chief likes you.” Lieutenant Shang said bluntly.

Bai Rong blushed, “We are incompatible.”

“Chief pushes away any woman that kisses him. I have been under Chief for three years. The man is known for his abstinence. But that night when you were drunk and kissed Chief, he did not push you away.” Lieutenant Shang explained.

Bai Rong looked at Lieutenant Shang in shock.

She was drunk that night and woke up remembering nothing. And he told her nothing happened when she asked him. So, it turned out that she had kissed him.

Bai Rong felt greatly uncomfortable. Her chest was undulating, “Well, I’m married. I have a husband.”

“Married?” Lieutenant Shang was a little surprised and put on an awkward smile on his face. Engaging in an extramarital affair would stain Chief’s bright future. He did an unnecessary thing this time and felt that he had made a mistake.

“Hehehe, I’m talking nonsense. Our Chief has a girlfriend. That night, he must have let you go since you were drunk. Sometimes he is just too shy to reject girls. I must have overthink. Hahaha.” Lieutenant Shang changed his words immediately.

Bai Rong paused. So he had a girlfriend. Then it must be the passion he was looking for.

Whatever comes fast goes away fast. Her throbbing heart calmed down quietly. Both of them were from different worlds, even a friendship was almost impossible to form.

Lieutenant Shang cleared his throat as he watched Bai Rong who was leaning against the window and asked, “Where are you going?”

Bai Rong came back to her senses and said, “Take me to the hospital.” Her phone rang and it was an unknown number.

“Thank you for just now.” Gu Mingchen’s voice came in through the phone.

Bai Rong was a little embarrassed when she heard his voice, “Well, I was just stating the facts. You did save me. Treating you a meal was my way of repaying you.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“You thank me for saving your life with a meal?” Gu Mingchen said in an ambiguous tone and laughed.

Bai Rong, “…”
