You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 8

He carried her into the bedroom and put her down on the bed the moment they reached the base.

Their bodies continued to melt against each other.

In a flash, her dress landed on the floor, exposing the black bra she was wearing.

He unclasped it in a swift motion and removed it.

Her body was exactly as he remembered three years ago.

Every inch of his being was aroused.

He took her into his mouth and nibbled… sucked… savoring every moment.

Her moans were the catalyst to the awakening of his deepest primal urges.

His pants were getting tighter and he fought hard to resist. His lips trailed down the length of her sternum, to her stomach… and beyond.

He did not want to repeat his mistake three years ago, where he only gave her pain.

Bai Rong’s skin prickled at his touch. She felt a sensation that she had never felt before and it scared her. It felt like a stream of warm liquid was welling up somewhere inside her, ready to erupt.

“Xuyan, softer.” Bai Rong said as she quivered.

Gu Mingchen froze and stopped his actions. With a frown, he looked at her flushed face with his unfathomable dark eyes.

Her eyes were shut and her lashes fluttered.

He realized a serious problem. She did not know who he was.

Gu Mingchen’s eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed. Fretfully, he stood up.

A part of his body was already erecting firmly.

Gu Mingchen took large strides towards the bathroom and turned on the tap.

As cold water ran down the top of his head, his expression darkened.

He stayed under the shower until the tension in him subsided.

When he walked out, Bai Rong had already fallen asleep and her clothes were still strewn across the floor.

Her long, slender legs were slightly bent. He could see her abs. Sexy, enchanting, yet cold.

He put on her clothes for her and rested her head gently on the pillow.

After covering Bai Rong with a blanket, Gu Mingchen sat at the bedside with his gaze fixated on her.

It was quiet inside the room, as though the passionate scene earlier was only a dream.

It was him who ruined her first time three years ago.

Am I the reason that her relationship with her husband is so estranged?

Gu Mingchen suddenly felt a rush of guilt towards Bai Rong.

Just when he got up and walked out of the room, Lieutenant Shang handed him a birth-control pill and said, “Chief, if she takes this within 72 hours, she won’t get pregnant.”

Gu Mingchen’s brows furrowed. “She doesn’t need this.”

“Is she on her safe period of the month?” Lieutenant Shang asked in surprise.

Gu Mingchen shot him a cold stare. The chilliness was like a dagger piercing through him.

Lieutenant Shang did not dare to look at him and lowered his head.

Glancing at the pill in Lieutenant Shang’s hands, Gu Mingchen had an unreadable look in his eyes. “I didn’t touch her.”

“What?” Lieutenant Shang was momentarily stunned.

So the chief has not gotten his fill yet. How unfortunate…

He had no idea how the chief managed to be so good at practicing abstinence.

“Arrange for a female servant to take care of her. And you, forget about everything tonight.” Gu Mingchen ordered.

“Noted.” Lieutenant Shang answered.

“Also, get her some cosmetics. The most expensive ones.” Gu Mingchen added.

“OK.” Lieutenant Shang eyed his chief suspiciously.

What is chief thinking? Not only did he not take what she willingly offered him, he is buying things for this woman instead?

He could not understand at all.

When Bai Rong woke up the next morning, her head was throbbing from a bad hangover.

She sat up and looked around.

The rug was army green.

There were two books sitting neatly on the bedside table. One of them was closed and had a bookmark between the pages, whereas the other was a book in Russian filled with notes.

There was also a bookshelf full of books facing the bed. Two baskets were hanging at its side with a red flag and dozens of trophies.

Rich masculinity filled the room.

It’s not my room.

Bai Rong creased her brows. Her last memory was that of Liu Yan handing her a glass of water… And nothing that happened after.

She had a blackout from drinking too much.

Just as she was standing up, a servant walked into the room with a tray of toiletries.

Bai Rong was bewildered. “Who are you? Why am I here?”

The servant smiled at Bai Rong and said, “Chief told me to take care of you last night. Here are your toiletries.”

“Chief?” Bai Rong had no recollection of that.

“Yup! Why don’t you wash up first?” Qin opened the bathroom door and placed the toiletries on the countertop.

Bai Rong walked into the bathroom doubtfully, and that’s when she saw a row of neatly arranged men’s grooming products on the countertop.

She felt oddly awkward.

She had slept on a man’s bed last night.

When Bai Rong looked at herself in the mirror, she got a shock.

There were dark circles under her eyes; her fake eyelashes had fallen off; her face was smudged with the makeup she had on last night.

She immediately washed her face and brushed her teeth, but the dark circles stayed stubbornly under her eyes.

Just then, someone placed a bottle of cleansing oil in front of her.

Bai Rong looked up, and met with Gu Mingchen’s profound eyes. Those striking eyes beneath his thick eyebrows gave him a naturally commanding presence.

She could recognize the man at first sight. He is the chief who saved me that day! Damn it… How did I get here?

She remembered nothing on how she got here.

“Sorry, I must have been so drunk last night.” Bai Rong apologized.

“It’s ok.” His voice sounded hoarse. “You can wash your face with this cleansing oil.”

“Thanks.” Bai Rong accepted the bottle.

He placed the set of women’s cosmetics that he was holding on the countertop. “Use these too. I don’t use women’s products.” Gu Mingchen left the bathroom after he said that.

The cosmetics’ brand caught Bai Rong’s attention. They were all products of Guerlain.

One bottle of 30 ml moisturizer would cost more than 500.

It was definitely not something she could afford.

She walked out of the bathroom with the bag of cosmetics and found the man sitting on the sofa, straight and elegant.

He was completely absorbed in reading the book in Russian.

On the coffee table in front of the sofa lies the porridge, doughnut stick, milk, and soup.

Bai Rong walked to him, but the man did not even lift up his head, as though she was not there.

“Errr… I cannot accept this.” Bai Rong dropped the bag of cosmetics next to the sofa.

He was still focused on the book. It seemed like he just wanted to ignore her.

Bai Rong felt very awkward and was about to leave. Just when she took a step towards the door, Gu Mingchen’s deep voice came from behind, “Finish up the food on the table before you leave.”

Hearing that, she looked towards Gu Mingchen, but he was still not looking at her.

If it wasn’t for the fact that they were the only two people in the room, she would have thought that he was speaking to someone else.

Bai Rong sat down at the table.

“The bowl of soup at the side helps with your hangover. Drink that first.” Gu Mingchen said again.

Bai Rong eyed him doubtfully.

He was obviously not looking at her. But why did she feel like he knew everything?

Her head was indeed still throbbing, so she finished the bowl of soup quickly.

Bai Rong was still very suspicious.

Gu Mingchen was behaving so strangely towards her. Could it be that she said something while she was drunk yesterday?

“Did I say anything inappropriate while I was drunk yesterday?” Bai Rong was worried.

He flipped a page gracefully and replied nonchalantly, “What kind of inappropriate do you think you would have said?”

Did I really say something?

A blush of embarrassment spread across Bai Rong’s cheeks.

She forced an awkward smile on her face and said. “I heard from my friend that I tend to spout nonsense when I am drunk. Please don’t take anything I said seriously.”

Gu Mingchen finally lifted his head and shot a cold glance at her with his unreadable dark eyes. Her nervousness and embarrassment were shown clearly on the face.

That put Bai Rong on the edge.
