You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 103

She took over the towel and replied, “I don’t want to get married.”

“Huh?” Gu Mingchen paused before saying, “Oh right.”

He took out a jewelry box from his pocket and went down on one knee. Then, he opened the box that contained a diamond ring.

“Bai Rong, will you marry me?” The man said sincerely.

The light from the ceiling casted a faint glow upon his face that created a mesmerizing halo effect.

The diamond ring was also shining brightly in the light.

Bai Rong clenched her fists to stop herself from taking the ring that she really wanted. She squatted down on the floor to face Gu Mingchen.

“Did anything happen?” He realized something was not right.

“Gu Mingchen, I feel that we are progressing too quickly. One month is not enough for us to fully understand each other. Besides, whenever I think about Tang Xiaojiu’s death, I can’t help but feel that we are partially responsible for it. I want to find the culprit behind the massacre before thinking about our marriage.”

The man’s eyes darkened. “Is it because you want to find the murderer first or is it because you don’t like me?”

His question was straight to the point. Bai Rong’s eyes glistened with tears as she looked towards the floor.

She could not tell him that she liked him as it would bring him harm. But it would hurt him more if she said that she did not like him.

Not getting a response from the woman, Gu Mingchen’s face turned cold. “If I say, I will have to marry someone else if we can’t get married. Will your decision still be the same?”

Bai Rong creased her brows.

She knew very well what he meant.

The reason he was in a rush to finalize their marriage was to dash the Su Family’s hopes. He was prepared to bear any consequences.

If Gu Mingchen did not get married, he might not be able to handle the subsequent events.

He would be burning his own bridge.

Bai Rong did not want him to do that. “It’s too fast.”

The man gritted his teeth. He had never thought that she would be so unfeeling.

“I understand now.” He stood up and walked towards the door.

Bai Rong choked up with all the unsaid words as she watched him leave.

“Gu Mingchen, I love you.” She mouthed the words as he walked away.

After he left, she felt chilled to the bone.

When Liu Yan got back after work, she saw Bai Rong sitting in a daze on the sofa. There was a sense of stillness in the air.

“What happened?” She asked worriedly.

“I am just thinking about the past. When I was in my freshman year of college, there was a pageant competition in school. The winner would get two thousand and a chance to shoot an advertisement. I really wanted the prize money. To become the winner of the pageant, I did many things such as perform, dance, stand-up comedy, sing, cheerleading, etc.” Bai Rong recalled.

“I can’t tell that you had crazy times too.” Her friend smiled and replied.

“Yeah. I desperately wanted to win the prize money.” Bai Rong let out a wry laugh.

“What happened in the end?” Liu Yan was curious.

“Someone cheated and I did not even get into the top ten.” The woman drank some water to flush the bitterness out of her heart. “Because I tried too hard, I became a thorn in my competitors’ flesh and was pranked several times by them.” She continued.

“Sounds like an awful memory. Don’t think about it anymore. Don’t be bothered by those pretentious things.” Liu Yan tried to comfort her.

“I think I was being overconfident. Since those that I coveted were not mine in the first place, I only created problems for myself.” Bai Rong shared her thoughts and took a deep breath.

“Did you fight with Gu Mingchen again?” Liu Yan read in between the lines.

Bai Rong shook her head and said, “Yan, I am moving out a few days later.”

“Why? Oh right! We are going to the military base soon. But we still need a place to stay when we are on festive breaks or holidays.” Liu Yan reminded her.

As Bai Rong did not want her friend to worry, she did not tell her the real reason.

She went back to her room and locked the door before sending Xing Bachuan the video that was recorded in the private room of the Jindu Club just now.

Ten minutes later, Xing Bachuan called her and started yelling over the phone. “How can you be so despicable? Su Xuyan is your future brother-in-law. Do you call yourself a human to seduce your sister’s future husband?”

“If the purpose of your call is to scold me, I don’t have anything more to say to you. I will have a good talk with your rivals instead.” Bai Rong said coldly.

“Why do I have such an ingrate as my daughter. I should have asked your mother to abort you if I knew this would happen.” Her father was stomping with rage.

“Don’t you think it’s too late to say all these? I want to go home within two days. I guess it would not be difficult for you to arrange a position at the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for me?” Bai Rong continued talking unemotionally.

“You think the CCDI belongs to me? You have to take an examination and pass the entrance interview.”

“I will be registering for the exam. As for the interview, I hope that dad can make some special arrangements for me. But of course, I believe your rivals would be capable of making such arrangements too.” A detached smile appeared on the woman’s face as she said that.

“I really don’t know why you are doing this. I am warning you. If you come back, don’t do anything to ruin your sister’s happiness, understand?” Xing Bachuan gave his daughter a stern warning.

“Don’t worry. I am not the least bit interested in Su Xuyan. To me, he is worse than a beast. I’ll wait for your good news then.” Bai Rong hung up.

She lied down on the bed and closed her eyes.

But instead of sleeping, the woman was planning the moves that she had to make from now onward.

In order to protect someone else, she had to rise up stronger than before.

It was already past 10 p.m. when Bai Rong heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Then, she heard Liu Yan’s voice. “Chief Gu?”

At once, Bai Rong jumped off the bed and opened her door.

Gu Mingchen looked towards her with a strange blush of red appearing on his face.

“I am playing cards with my friends tonight.” Liu Yan said and rushed off.

Bai Rong walked towards the man.

He smelt of alcohol. It seemed like he had quite a bit to drink.

“I’ll make some honey water for you.” As Bai Rong turned around to take a mug, Gu Mingchen grabbed her arm and looked at her with his deep eyes.

“Bai Rong, you will grow to like me, right?” He asked.

“You’re drunk.” Bai Rong wanted to push his hand away but was pulled into his arms instead. He held her in a tight embrace and closed his eyes. “Just let me hold you for a while.” The man said.

Her heart was aching badly but she didn’t move away.

“My heart is unwell. It is aching as though a heavy weight is pressing on it. Bai Rong, what should I do?” Gu Mingchen asked. His breathing grew heavier and Bai Rong could smell alcohol in his breath.

She could not bear to see him in this state.

She turned around, tiptoed and kissed him on his lips.

The man froze for a moment and fixed his deep gaze on her.

“I like you so much.” Bai Rong finally said.

Once that was said, there was no more room for regrets.

That sentence alone was enough to create waves in Gu Mingchen’s heart.

He kissed her back passionately.

The woman closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment.

Then, he pinned her onto the sofa and removed her clothes.

Bai Rong was tight when Gu Mingchen entered her impatiently. As the light shone upon her eyes, she fell into a trance and a sinful thought fell upon her.

Maybe I can be his secret lover.

When she finally cum, she bit the man’s shoulder hard.

The person she had become was starting to feel unfamiliar to herself.

Bai Rong had always thought of herself as someone with firm boundaries. But that was before she met the person whom she was willing to lose all of that for.
