You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 55

After Gu Mingchen and Bai Rong gave their statements to the police, they went to the hospital.

As Bai Rong was a doctor herself, she helped to disinfect Gu Mingchen’s wounds. Then, she applied medicine to his wounds and bandaged it.

During the entire process, his gaze was fixed intently on her.

Bai Rong was so focused on treating his wounds that her brows were slightly creased and her eyes were already misty.

“What are you thinking about?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“It really seems like nothing good happens to you when you are with me. The other time was a car accident. Now you are injured again.” Bai Rong sounded very apologetic.

“Why do I feel like good things always happen when I am with you? If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to save the hostage in that mission. Also, because of that car accident, I had a good excuse to push away a lot of work I would have otherwise needed to take on.” Gu Mingchen wanted to comfort her worries.

“Then how about this time?” Bai Rong asked.

“I was the one who asked you to come along this time. If I were alone, the same thing would still have happened. I wouldn’t have known that the two girls were in cahoots with those men. I might have already been dead and not just injured.” Gu Mingchen said, as he held Bai Rong’s hand.

Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat.

His hands were so warm.

She wanted to pull her hands out, but instead, he pulled her into his arms and held her tight.

“Let me go.” Bai Rong turned, facing the side. She did not dare to look at him.

“I am not letting go.” Gu Mingchen said in his deep voice, while looking at her with his blazing eyes.

Bai Rong’s heart was thumping very hard.

She could feel herself wavering.

She knew he was a good man.

He was the kind of man who shone more brightly than the sun. Even the most eligible bachelorettes would die to marry him.

Bai Rong did not feel worthy of Gu Mingchen’s love.

Ever since they met again, she realized it was getting harder for her to resist his dominance. She kept getting overwhelmed by his strong aura.

Instead of asking for Bai Rong’s wishes like he did at the beginning, Gu Mingchen had already started to do whatever he wanted.

She was really worried that she would commit an unforgivable mistake.

“Gu Mingchen, you know that I’m still not divorced yet right?” Bai Rong went straight to the point.

“I don’t care about a piece of paper. I can render it void right now.” Gu Mingchen let go of Bai Rong and took out his phone.

He made a call.

“Lieutenant Shang, this is Gu Mingchen. Engage the best lawyer in the country to help Bai Rong with her divorce case. I want it settled in one week.” Gu Mingchen commanded.

Bai Rong was utterly speechless.

He looked at her and said, “What other worries do you have? Tell me everything now. I’ll get them settled in one go. Bai Rong, stop hiding like a porcupine. I won’t allow you to do that anymore.”

Bai Rong stood up and said, “We haven’t known each other long enough yet. We shouldn’t be doing this on a moment of impulse.”

Gu Mingchen grabbed Bai Rong’s arm and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. That sudden movement caused his wound to split and the bandage was soaked with blood.

“You have known Su Xuyan long enough right? You have been married for three years. Do you think you are compatible with him?” Gu Mingchen snapped at Bai Rong.

“Exactly! I was married to him for three years and I have yet to figure him out completely. Much less you. I am not looking for something casual. I yearn to have an ordinary life too, with a husband who loves me and an adorable kid. I don’t need my husband to be someone with authority, as long as he is responsible towards our family. That’s all I wish for.” Bai Rong got emotional.

“You mean I can’t give you what you want? At least no matter what happens, I will do anything I can to protect you, and make sure you are always safe and taken care of.” Gu Mingchen was getting frustrated.

“At least wait till I am divorced! What am I now? I’m still Mrs. Su. I can’t get past myself.” Bai Rong lashed out.

“OK then. We will get married once you are divorced. It’s a deal.” Gu Mingchen said domineeringly as he let go of her hand.

Bai Rong was stunned and speechless.

That wasn’t what she meant.

She wasn’t forcing him to do anything. Bai Rong was getting exasperated.

She knew she had said something wrong again after hearing what Gu Mingchen said.

“Why did you choose me? I’m not good enough for you.” Bai Rong said softly.

Even Gu Mingchen himself wasn’t sure why it had to be her.

He wasn’t able to forget her since that incident three years ago.

He felt even more guilty after knowing that Bai Rong’s life wasn’t good.

Gu Mingchen wanted to give Bai Rong a good life, to make up for his mistake three years ago. He wanted to be the reason for her happiness for the rest of their lives.

Gu Mingchen glanced at his arm. “Let’s discuss this another time. Rebandage my arm for me now.”

Bai Rong noticed that his wound was bleeding again.

Indeed, it wasn’t the best time to discuss that now. There was still one month to go before she was officially divorced. A lot could happen within one month.

She shouldn’t be spending her energy worrying about future events that had not even happened.

As long as he wasn’t forcing her, they did not have to talk about that now.

Bai Rong undid Gu Mingchen’s bandage, disinfected the wound and put on a new layer of medicine before bandaging it again.

“You have to take some antibiotics. As long as your wound starts healing and you don’t develop a fever, you can stop taking the medicine tomorrow. Drink more water too.” Bai Rong told Gu Mingchen.

A broad smile appeared on Gu Mingchen’s face as he stood up.

“Why are you smiling like that?” Bai Rong looked at him, feeling puzzled.

“It feels quite nice to hear you nag at me. Let’s go now. It’s late. We still have to wake up early tomorrow morning.”

“OK. I’ll drive.” Bai Rong carried the medicine bag and walked ahead of Gu Mingchen.

The roads of the suburbs were completely empty at this hour.

Bai Rong drove quietly, while Gu Mingchen stole glances at her.

What would it have been like if he had not met her three years ago?

Would Su Xuyan have treated her well?

Bai Rong’s phone suddenly rang.

She picked up after seeing that it was Liu Yan.

“Yan, what’s up?” Bai Rong asked.

“Rong, I have something to tell you.” Liu Yan’s voice was barely audible. “I followed Su Xuyan and Xing Jinnian. They went to a deserted area to do that thing. Mwahahaha! I am going to record it now. If Su Xuyan goes back on his word one month later, you can use this as evidence against him. That fella is too much. And that Xing Jinnian is such a slut.” Liu Yan carried on.

“You have to be careful. It’s so late now and you’re alone.” Bai Rong was worried.

“What’s there to be afraid of? Shen Yiyan is here too. He’s the prince. No one would dare to offend him. I’ll be fine. OK, I need to hang up now. They are finishing soon. Xing Jinnian is already running out of breath from all that intense moaning. I need to take the video now.” Liu Yan hung up after saying that.

Bai Rong squeezed her phone tightly in her hand.

Did that mean she can finally be free from Su Xuyan?

“Are you hungry?” Gu Mingchen’s spoke.

Bai Rong did not eat much during dinner just now because of her awkwardness. At Gu Mingchen’s prompting, she realized she was indeed feeling hungry after such an eventful night.

“Restaurants and convenience stores would have been closed by now. I have instant noodles in my room. We can just have that.” Bai Rong suggested.

“OK.” Gu Mingchen said simply.

As the guest house was quite near the hospital, they reached after a short drive. Right after Bai Rong stopped the car, Gu Mingchen turned her head to face him, and his lips landed on hers.

Bai Rong got a shock. Before she could react, he had already released her.

“Bai Rong, you’re so silly. A person like Su Xuyan is really not worthy of your affections.” Gu Mingchen said meaningfully.

“We were all once young.” Bai Rong sighed.

“Then have you grown up already?” Gu Mingchen continued.
