You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 19

Bai Rong stared fixedly at Su Wanning. It was as if she saw those girls beside Su Xuyan.

From the woman who kidnapped her, to the pregnant lady from before, until the most recent assistant Yue.

All of them knew she was Su Xuyan’s wife.

Yet, they still troubled her one after another. All their behaviors were aimed to obtain pleasure from her sufferings and see Bai Rong break down over their emotional tortures.

Bai Rong loathed such women deeply from her heart.

Didn’t these women know that what they did was wrong?

“Su Wanning, I guess there’s something you didn’t know. I’ve signed up for the recruitment as well.” Bai Rong retorted calmly.

Su Wanning’s pupils dilated at her words and she stared at Bai Rong in disbelief. “You’re a doctor?”

Bai Rong smiled brightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. “You think?”

“How shameless you are! You think you’ll be selected if you sign up for it?” Su Wanning retorted out of agitation.

“Frankly, this position was specially created for her. So what do you think?” Gu Mingchen replied in a chilly tone.

Although she knew that Gu Mingchen was lying, Bai Rong’s face still blushed slightly at his words.

Su Wanning looked at the man in disbelief with her bloodshot eyes.

Anger emerged within her knowing her efforts were all in vain. She took up the wine glass and was about to splash it on Gu Mingchen when he caught her wrist. His eyes were shooting daggers towards the reckless girl.

Su Wanning was frightened by his cold gaze.

She had always loved his righteousness and domineering cool side of him, but she also hated him for his heartless and cold-blooded character.

“We’ll see. I’ll never let her enter the Special Forces.” Su Wanning withdrew her hand and left promptly.

Gu Mingchen watched Su Wanning leave the restaurant before uttering in his husky voice, “I’ll ask Lieutenant Shang to pass you the application form tomorrow.”

Now Bai Rong was awkward. “About that… “

Somehow, her brain was short-circuited and those reckless words came out of her unconsciously.

Could she still change her mind now?

“To be honest, I don’t think I’m cut out for military positions.” Bai Rong tried to reject politely again.

“But at least you need to keep your own words. It’s fine if you said those to me alone; I’ll take it as a joke. But now that you’ve told Su Wanning your plans, it’ll be difficult for me to not take it seriously.” Gu Mingchen said in a straightforward manner, leaving her no ground for rejection.

Bai Rong lowered her head and continued to cut her steak half-heartedly.

Indeed, if she tried to reject again, that would make her a person with no integrity. Besides, her rejection would tarnish his reputation in front of Su Wanning as well.

Gu Mingchen glanced at her. “Once you’re in, I’ll appoint you as a lieutenant. It’s definitely a higher ranking position than the head of department.”

“One who wishes to wear the crown must bear its weight. I don’t think I’m good enough to carry out the responsibilities and duties of a lieutenant.” Bai Rong forked a small piece of steak into her mouth.

“From the way you saved the pregnant woman that day, I believe you can do it.” Gu Mingchen took away the plate of steak she had nicely cut out and replaced it with his.

“What are you…..” Bai Rong was confused.

“I think your steak was nicely cut.”

Bai Rong was speechless at his actions.

So he was indirectly telling her that she performed too well and was destined to be recruited?

Bai Rong could only stare dumbfounded at the plate of steak in front of her.

After dinner, Bai Rong went to the cashier and took out her purse.

Gu Mingchen sized up her purse and asked flatly, “You want to pay for the meal?”

“Yup, I’ll treat you.” Bai Rong replied firmly.

She turned to the cashier and asked, “We’re from table 8. How much is it?”

“Oh, the bill for table 8 is paid.” The cashier replied politely.

Bai Rong turned to Gu Mingchen with an astonished expression.

“I’ve asked Lieutenant Shang to pay for it. Now you owe me one more; I’ll let you treat me next time.” Gu Mingchen explained while striding towards the door.

Next time?

She planned to stop contacting him after buying his clothes.

That felt like… being controlled by someone in his hands.

She really disliked that feeling.

At that moment, her phone rang. It was from Liu Yan, hence she picked up the call.

“Bai, where are you? I’ve just finished my surgery. Have you left? I need to give you something.” Liu Yan said while looking around her.

“I’m at Shuiyue International; I have something to settle. Talk to you later.” Bai Rong explained.

“What thing?” Liu Yan blurted, but Bai Rong had already hung up the call.

A naughty glint flashed in Liu Yan’s eyes as she departed for Shuiyue International.

Bai Rong followed behind Gu Mingchen on their way to shop. He had been walking very slowly, like he was waiting for her.

Both of them maintained a half a meter gap as they walked.

Being the good-looking man he was, Gu Mingchen’s presence itself was already a scene to behold. Many people were looking at his direction.

She felt really awkward. After all, people would tend to think they were a couple upon seeing a man and a woman walking together.

“If you want better clothes, you should go upstairs.” Bai Rong reminded.

“Hmm.” Gu Mingchen hummed in reply, as though he was not in a hurry.

He turned to a Turkish ice-cream stall and asked, “Want to try that?”

“No.” Bai Rong was not used to receiving treats from a stranger.

She had taken a lot from him.

“Give me 3.” Gu Mingchen said to the stall owner.

Bai Rong turned around to check her surroundings.

There were only 2 of them.

Was there anyone else?

He took the first ice-cream and held it in his hands.

He did the same for the second one too.

For the third one, Gu Mingchen turned his deep eyes towards Bai Rong.

The girl had to take the ice cream since he had no hands to take the third one.

“Eat faster. it’s going to melt.” Gu Mingchen said deeply as he passed by her.

Once again, Bai Rong was speechless.

This man was indeed autocratic.

Bai Rong licked the ice-cream in her hands as she saw Gu Mingchen approaching a pair of children and knelt down. Then, he passed the ice-creams in his hands to both of them.

The children ran away happily with their ice-creams.

Bai Rong walked up to him and asked, “Are they your relatives?”

Gu Mingchen stood up and answered, “Nope. I just don’t like to eat sweet stuff.”

Bai Rong stared at him in bewilderment. She was stupefied by his ridiculous answer.

“Then didn’t it occur to you that I might not like sweet food as well?” Bai Rong replied in distaste.

Gu Mingchen turned to look at her deeply and held up her wrist. Then, he lowered his head and licked the ice-cream where she had just licked before. “I’ll help you to eat some.”

Bai Rong’s heartbeat quickened while looking at his dashing features.

She felt her wrist burning in his grip and her face flushed red with embarrassment.

Gu Mingchen’s gaze bored into her as his eyes were slowly covered in a layer of heated passion.

The man’s lips were slowly approaching her lips. Bai Rong could feel his raging hormones enveloping her.

The girl was frightened by their intimacy and instinctively stepped back.

Why did she suddenly have a feeling that the man wanted to kiss her?

It must be her imagination.

He was a general in the Special Forces! There would be many beautiful ladies who constantly offered themselves to him, so there was no reason for him to have those kinds of thoughts towards her.

Gu Mingchen turned her face towards him and used his thumb to wipe the corner of her lips. “Why are you still eating like a child? Your lips are stained with ice-cream now.”

“Oh, is it? I didn’t notice that.” Bai Rong turned away and tried to avoid his intimate actions.

He did not let her evade though. The man grabbed hold of her arms and tugged her to his side, his eyes looking into her with scorching passion…
