You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 24

The kiss was wildly domineering and rampant. A strong masculine hormone rushed straight into her head. Before this, she thought she was being self-sentimental that Gu Mingchen had a thing for her, but what about now? He likes me!

Bai Rong’s heartbeat was racing rapidly, as if it was about to pop out of her throat. She pushed his shoulder hard as she was losing oxygen; There were buzzes in her head and her body was getting hotter.

He finally let go of her after a long time. Two tiny versions of herself could be seen reflected in his eyes.

Bai Rong was reaching out her hand to slap the man, but he was faster than her to grab her wrist in no time. As a soldier, speed indeed was his forte.

The woman was exasperated and said in a somber tone, “Am I a lowly person in your eyes? So lowly that any man can kiss me anytime without feeling ashamed.”

“I’m not a person who kisses just anyone.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice.

Bai Rong’s heart trembled, wondering what Gu Mingchen meant. His words were too ambiguous and there was a strong sense of aggression in it.

“You are drunk, and I am a married woman.” Bai Rong’s voice was shaking and she immediately put up a barrier with him.

With a pair of deep eyes, he let go of her hand and leaned back onto the chair, “Drive.”

Drive? How on Earth would she dare go to the man’s house under such a situation? “I’m not going anymore.” Bai Rong was afraid of staying together with him so she tried to push the door open. But before she could go down, she heard her deep voice, ““You better be good before I change my mind. I cannot guarantee what would happen if you defy me.”

His solemn gaze further reinforced his oppression. The man was not joking.

Bai Rong was at the edge of breaking down under the pressure. He was a great leader and she was a doctor. Who was she to provoke the man?

“What do you want?” Bai Rong closed the car door in frustration.

“I want to know that too.” Gu Mingchen said in an irritated tone while turning his face away and rested his eyes.

His chest was undulating and it highlighted the unstableness of his heart, but he was experienced enough to hide it.

Bai Rong couldn’t help but glance at Gu Mingchen. They were all grown-ups. She understood those things between a man and a woman. Sometimes, it was just two lonely souls seeking comfort from each other.

She didn’t want to be like Su Xuyan. That’s why she had been strict to herself and stuck to the bottom line of her principle. She would not play with emotions, let alone succumbing to lustful pleasures.

With silence in the car all the way, they reached the military base. Gu Mingchen opened his eyes; the depth of his pupils was boundless.

“Go straight, turn at the third intersection and drive one kilometer straight ahead.”

Bai Rong followed his instructions and they soon arrived at the door of his apartment. She actually knew the route because she had been here once and it was Lieutenant Shang who sent her back.

Lieutenant Shang ran over immediately when he saw Gu Mingchen’s car coming and opened the door respectfully. The man stepped out of the car first, followed by Bai Rong. Without even turning his head back, he ordered, “Give me the hangover pill.”

Seeing that the man was in a bad mood, it made her a little depressed. This man is just bizarre. She opened the trunk and took out all the groceries, but they didn’t stay long in her hand before Lieutenant Shang took it over. Bai Rong took a glance at Liu Yan’s gifts and decided to leave it where it was, then went straight into the kitchen.

After Gu Mingchen finished drinking the hangover soup, he looked towards the kitchen. Bai Rong was busy cooking there. He picked up a book, but his focus was not on it at all. It felt good to kiss her. If it wasn’t for her unwillingness, he would have taken the next step in the car.

He had always been abstinent, so he couldn’t figure out why he would have such a strong impulse towards Bai Rong. An hour passed in his distraught, and strong aroma filled the house. Gu Mingchen put down his book and went to the kitchen.

“It’s gonna take a while before we can start the meal.” Bai Rong explained.

He glanced at the table. All the ingredients were washed, cut, and some were stewed. The smell of the crayfish was especially rich.

“Do you cook often?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“I used to cook a lot back when I lived with my mother.”

His eyes gradually tightened and a hint of unhappiness could be seen, “Don’t you cook for your husband?”

“He doesn’t eat what I make.” She said lightly.

Recalling that Su Xuyan said to never eat what she made, a flash of pain flooded her heart. Not that she was still in love with him, but she just felt that she did not deserve that.

“Has he never tried your cooking before?” Gu Mingchen’s eyes gradually relaxed.

“Yeah.” Bai Rong replied and poured out the crayfish.

“While we wait for other dishes, you may eat the crayfish first.” Bai Rong passed by him while carrying the dish and put it on the table.

“You mentioned that you like to eat crayfish, right?” Gu Mingchen asked peacefully.

“Most people love it.” Bai Rong passed by him again and went back to the kitchen.

When she came out with other dishes, there were already a lot of shelled crayfish on the table. But Gu Mingchen didn’t eat any of it at all. Instead, he lay it out nicely on a plate.

Upon seeing her, he handed the plate to her and said in a deep voice, “I’m allergic to crayfish, you may eat it.”

Bai Rong was speechless and touched at the same time because he was the first man to shell crayfish for her. However, she was also a rational person. She was a married woman and would not have a future with a chief who was as outstanding as Gu Mingchen.

She brought up all the dishes and filled his bowl with rice.

It was very quiet at the dining table. Both of them lowered their head to eat without talking to each other. Soon, Gu Mingchen could see that Bai Rong ate everything but not the plate of shelled crayfish.

He glanced at her with sorrowful eyes, “Are you going to eat or not?”

“I…” Bai Rong paused and found an excuse at once, “I like to peel it myself.”

He took a piece of crayfish and put it in his mouth. Bai Rong was a little surprised. Isn’t he allergic to crayfish? Just then, he pressed the back of her head and fed the crayfish into her mouth.

Bai Rong’s heartbeat was pounding like crazy. She had the crayfish meat in her mouth; not knowing whether to swallow it or spit it out. Gu Mingchen let go of her and peered at her lips, “If you want me to feed you like that, feel free to not eat.”

She sat awkwardly, unlike the calm man. He left her no choice but to swallow it. And there came another glance from him, so the frightened woman quickly put another crayfish in her mouth.

Gu Mingchen raised the sides of his lips, as though he was smiling. “Am I that scary?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“Haha.” Bai Rong laughed twice. What do you say?

“Eat slowly. I’ll peel more for you. It’s all yours.” Gu Mingchen’s tone softened a little. That left the woman speechless again.

“Do you…like me?” Bai Rong asked directly. Hearing her question, Gu Mingchen’s expression turned solemn.
