You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 114

Bai Rong’s heart trembled at the words as she looked at the plate.

There was no signage on the plate, but the handwriting was strong and sharply dynamic. One look at it and the woman immediately recognized it to be Gu Mingchen’s handwriting.

“It was written today!” Yang Li exclaimed in surprise.

A layer of tears moistened her eyes. Bai Rong lowered her eyes, trying to hide the glistening emotions within her.

“Ms. Bai, are you alright?” Yang Li inquired.

“Can I have a pen and a wooden plate? I would like to be alone for a moment.” Bai Rong uttered as calmly as she could.

“Oh, yes.” Yang Li took out the pen and wooden plate she had prepared beforehand and passed it to Bai Rong.

After taking the plate, the woman sat beneath the Entwined Trees and began to write her message on the plate: Try protecting me for as long as you wish, but I won’t forgive you.

She did not leave her signage nor the date of writing. After that, she hanged the plate right beside Gu Mingchen’s before staring at them.

Both plates touched each other as they swayed with the wind.

Never had she expected that he would also be in Jinyang City. Was he also here to investigate Lu Liangcheng?

By the time she returned to the private room, Director Jin of Jinyang City’s prosecutor’s office had arrived.

The man was around 50 years of age and looked pretty well built. He had put on a jovial smile as he extended his hands to her. “I would like to welcome the boss to inspect our work.”

“Nah I’m not your boss. The higher ups want me here, so I’m just following their orders. I believe we will work well together.” Bai Rong returned a polite smile.

“You look so young, Ms. Bai. How long have you been working as a prosecutor?” Director Jin inquired.

“Age doesn’t matter in this line, as long I have great passion in my work.” Bai Rong answered vaguely.

“That’s right indeed! Ms. Bai is indeed a young and promising woman for achieving such a rank at a young age. Anyway, we will definitely give our utmost cooperation to make your work easier. Please have a seat.” Director Jin invited with a smile.

Actually, Bai Rong’s position was not that high. She was just a pawn, but just like the game of chess, she could check the King.

The woman might just be a regular staff member within the CCDI. However, upon being dispatched to another city, she would be treated like a queen by the prosecutor’s office of that city.

To Jinyang City’s prosecutor’s office, the feedback of her inspection was very important to them.

Halfway through dinner, Director Jin received a phone call.

“All right. Sure, you must entertain him properly as he’s the future son-in-law of Deputy Commander Su. It’s good to acquaint such an important figure for our future ventures. Ok, ok I’ll come over now.”

Bai Rong tightened her grip on her wine glass upon hearing his words. Her nails were white with the sheer force of her grip.

“Ermm, excuse me, I have to go over to have a toast next door.” Director Jin explained while taking his glass.

Seeing the change in attitude, Yang Li also followed suit and took a wine bottle. “Director, let me accompany you. Two is better than one, especially if one of them is a girl.”

“You, naughty girl with your sneaky ideas. Alright, let’s go together.” Director Jin took the lead and walked out.

“Is Deputy Commander Su’s future son-in-law the son of Deputy Commander Gu?” Zhong Tong turned to ask Zeng Shuying.

“Yes, he’s the one. I’ve seen him on TV before. He’s an extremely good-looking man with perfect features. He is even better looking than the actors! Not just that, he also has a strong temperament compared to most men. His gaze alone could kill everyone on the spot.” Zeng Shuying replied with great admiration.

“No wonder that little rascal Yang Li wants to go over and see him.”

“Why don’t we check him out too? Let’s go together, Ms. Bai!” Zeng Shuying held up her wine glass and suggested.

Bai Rong’s eyes were slightly reddened by now. “Oh, leave me out of this. I’m feeling a bit drunk now. I’d better rest earlier.”

“Oh ok. Yang Yan, you didn’t drink right? Please send Ms. Bai back then.” Zeng Shuying instructed Yang Yan.

“No problem.” Yang Yan stood up and took his coat.

“Tend to her properly.” Li Yu reminded him.

“Alright. Ms. Bai, let’s go.” Yang Yan led the way out.

Lowering her head, Bai Rong left the restaurant.

She had no idea how she should react upon seeing Gu Mingchen. The woman was afraid of hurting him, and even more afraid of hurting herself.

Yang Yan escorted Bai Rong to the best 6-star hotel in Jinyang City.

“Wow, the staff accomodation looks really luxurious!” Bai Rong exclaimed in surprise upon getting down the car.

“No, it’s not. It’s just that you came over so suddenly and we ran out of empty rooms in the hostel. We can’t just ask anyone to move out of their rooms with such short notice, so we have to settle you here. This 6-star hotel had a deal with us, so the room fees are not expensive.” Yang Yan explained.

Bai Rong was feeling very tired, hence she did not reject the offer and followed Yang Yan to the lobby.

The man took out his identification pass and lowered his voice at the counter. “I’m from the prosecutor’s office. Please give me a presidential suite. Don’t need to register and I’m booking it for a month.”

“Alright.” The receptionist produced a room card and passed it to Yang Yan respectfully. “Please go to the 18th floor, room 1829.”

“Alright, Ms. Bai. This way please.” Yang Yan took the lead and brought the woman up to the 18th floor.

The room manager of that floor was already waiting beside the lift to welcome them.

“Room 1829.” Yang Yan informed him.

“This way please.” The room manager replied with a smile and led Bai Rong to her room before opening the door for her.

“If you need anything, please call the internal phone line 1800. We provide 24 hours service to suit your needs. On the nightstand we have a list of services available, but if you have any other requests other than those listed, don’t hesitate to tell us as well.” The room manager explained cordially. His voice was nice and refreshing like the first breeze of spring.

“Thank you.” Bai Rong replied.

“Then I shall not disturb your rest. Tomorrow I’ll fetch you to work at 8 a.m..” Yang Yan informed with a smile.

Bai Rong nodded in gratitude. “Thank you.”

Yang Yan left with a smile and closed the door for her.

The woman scanned through the interior of the presidential suite.

The suite had 3 rooms, a living room, and an outdoor garden. One of the rooms was the bedroom and next to it was the bathroom, while the last one was the gym loaded with some gym equipment.

The living room contained a huge sofa and across it was a 72-inch-high-definition TV. Right next to the TV was a Hi-fi set with loudspeakers. The set also came with a touchscreen that allowed guests to pick and play their favorite songs.

Behind the sofa was a liquor cabinet loaded with famous brands of expensive liquor.

The flowers in the room were all freshly plucked this morning, giving the room a fresh vibe.

There was a computer in the bedroom and toiletries were laid on the nightstand. At the side was a huge cabinet for clothes.

At that moment, only did she realize that the bedroom was connected directly to the bathroom as well.

The bathtub was designed as a two-by-two spa tub equipped with water massage features. Chanel-branded toiletries and make-up sets lined the sink counter neatly.

All these were luxurious items to Bai Rong, but now it was part of her basic necessities.

The girl removed her clothes and entered the bathtub. She decided to relax herself and chose a mist bath together with a water massage.

The misty vapors soon filled the bathroom and the girl was concealed within the white mist.

The water massage hitting on her body was very comfortable and greatly relaxed the girl.

Bai Rong could finally understand why the wealthy and rich always liked to stay in a presidential suite of a 6-star hotel.

It was a luxurious enjoyment indeed.

From the way the people at Jinyang City’s prosecutor’s office were behaving towards her, she had a feeling that they must be hiding something big from her.

Bai Rong closed her eyes and relaxed fully. In a daze, she suddenly heard the sound of a door closing and opened her eyes in alarm.

The bathroom door was pushed open.

Gu Mingchen stared at the beautiful girl in the bathtub, his face slightly shocked at her existence. Then, an undecipherable emotion flickered in his dark eyes as he called out with uncertainty, “Bai Rong?”

The poor girl was greatly shocked by the intrusion. “Gu Mingchen! Why are you here?”
