You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 223

Bai Rong followed Gu Mingchen out of the room. When they were checking out at the reception desk, the receptionist shot them a weird glance again.

Bai Rong’s face flushed in an instant as she hurriedly left the hotel.

The napkins were scattered all over the room, but she didn’t have time to clean it up before they left. Because of that, she felt guilty as though she had done something wrong although she hadn’t.

She tried to calm herself down. We are husband and wife, so there isn’t anything wrong with what we did, right?

“We’re a married couple,” explained Gu Mingchen before he walked away from the reception desk.

The receptionist was speechless.

Having said that, Gu Mingchen walked toward the car.

He opened the passenger side door for Bai Rong and closed it once she got in.

Then, he walked to the other side of the car and got in the driver’s seat.

Seeing that Bai Rong had already fastened her seat belt, Gu Mingchen drove away.

Bai Rong stared at him as she asked, “Can you tell me more about Hailan? I’m trying to come up with an effective treatment for her.”

“She’s an orphan who joined the military at a very young age. Not only was she hard-working, but her performance was also very outstanding. We carried out a few missions together, which were all completed successfully.

“A few years ago, we received a mission to rescue a prominent politician, but there was a rat among us. As a result, eight of us died in the mission while the politician, Hailan, and I were trapped in a fire. In the end, she helped the two of us to get out first.

“I went back for her after I brought the politician to a safe place. But then, everything in the building was burnt into ashes. All I found there was a body with a ring on its finger. It was the ring I gave her.

“But it turned out that she wasn’t dead but was kidnapped by the enemy instead, and they tortured her in an inhumane way. Because of that, she was no longer her usual self when she was rescued. She broke down due to all her suffering. Since then, she has been receiving treatment in the laboratory,” Gu Mingchen briefly told her about Hailan.

However, Bai Rong had already known all that.

That was not what she was asking about.

“Hailan has been locked up and treated for three years. Why is she only looking for you now?” Bai Rong expressed her doubt.

“She has just returned to her normal state. Coincidentally, a fire broke out in the laboratory, so she made her escape in the midst of chaos,” Gu Mingchen explained.

Upon hearing that, Bai Rong fell silent.

She knew Xia He, one of their comrades who carried out the mission with them and also the so-called spy Gu Mingchen mentioned earlier.

The reason Gu Mingchen suspected Xia He was that he and she were the only survivors.

However, Bai Rong had a gut feeling that Xia He was not the spy.

Now that there are three survivors, could it be that Hailan was the spy instead?

But Bai Rong didn’t voice out her thought.

If she did, the others would think that she was only saying that out of jealousy. Besides, it was just her baseless assumption, so no one would believe her.

After making a call to confirm that Hailan was sent to the hospital at the military base, Gu Mingchen headed there with Bai Rong.

When they arrived at the ward, Hailan had fallen asleep. Her wrists were wrapped with bandages, and she was put on an intravenous drip.

Song Xiyu and two nurses were taking care of her.

When Song Xiyu saw Bai Rong, her face darkened as she turned to Gu Mingchen. “Hailan attempted to take her own life because you didn’t go back to her, and now you’re bringing Bai Rong here? Aren’t you afraid that Hailan might break down again?”

“Bai Rong is my wife, and she’s a psychologist. So she can help Hailan,” Gu Mingchen explained.
