You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 123

She tossed and turned the whole night, barely sleeping a wink.

Her mind kept bringing her back to three years ago.

She was dashing out of the room when someone forcefully pulled her back.

He was as strong as an ox and easily flipped her over, clamping a hand over her mouth and like a wild beast, pushed himself into her violently without any warning.

It vastly differed from Gu Mingchen’s gentle caresses that always made sure she was comfortable and made her want him even more.

He had infinite patience, a completely different species from that man of three years ago.

While she was being violated, she caught sight of Su Xuyan in a parked car not far off, entangled with that woman.

As the pain was too much for her to take, she passed out. When she awoke, she was still lying on the ground in the middle of nowhere and the perpetrator had already disappeared into the wind.

Gu Mingchen was a man with a strong sense of responsibility.

She refused to believe that he was the one that had violated her.

Could this all be part of Su Xuyan’s scheme?

At 8 a.m., Bai Rong lay in bed, resting after breakfast.

I am already in Jiangye City and am staying at the Jiangye Motel near the bus station. She texted Gu Mingchen.

Gu Mingchen’s call came in three hours later.

Bai Rong shot up, immediately picking up.

I will be there in half an hour. What is your room number? Gu Mingchen sounded drained.

Bai Rong’s heart ached.

The last thing she wanted to do was cause him trouble but this matter was of utmost importance to her.

She had to get her answers from him directly.

302. She replied.

Okay.

Sure enough, she heard someone knocking at her door exactly half an hour later.

When she opened the door, she saw Gu Mingchen standing there with a strained smile, looking disheveled and obviously exhausted.

“Did you just finish your work?” Bai Rong asked.

“Yes. There was a small issue yesterday but it is of no concern. What happened? It must have been important for you to make your way here overnight.” Gu Mingchen asked uneasily.

“Did you stay up all of last night?” Bai Rong asked slowly, slightly incredulous.

“It is fine. During past assignments, there were times where I stayed awake for weeks at a time. Have you eaten? If not, shall we grab a bite together and talk more then?” Gu Mingchen reached out to take her hand in his.

“Are you busy this afternoon?” Bai Rong asked.

“I have something on at 4 p.m. so you have me for the next five hours.” Gu Mingchen calmly replied.

“If I had not come, did you plan on driving back to see me, then returning after an hour again?” Bai Rong furrowed her brows. She already knew the answer.

“I would have engaged a driver and napped during the ride. I would have been able to be by your side the moment I awoke. Nothing sounds better.”

Bai Rong’s heart panged with happiness and trepidation.

There was no way that Gu Mingchen was that man from three years ago.

“Go and grab some sleep and I will order food delivery. Rest well and I will call you when the food arrives. A rested mind is a productive one.” She said as she clicked on the food delivery application on her phone.

Gu Mingchen turned to look at her and softly said, “Rong, I cannot tell you how happy I am that you came.”

Bai Rong paused and turned to face him.

“This way, I know that I’m not the only one who cares about this relationship.” Gu Mingchen smiled broadly.

Bai Rong’s heartbeat quickened and she clutched her phone even tighter than before as she faltered, wondering whether to ask him or not.

The nicer he was to her, the harder it was for her to pose the question.

“Come accompany me for a bit.” Gu Mingchen wrapped his arms around her and pulled her onto the bed, letting his eyelids fall.

Bai Rong lay in his embrace, resting her head on his shoulders.

She could feel the warmth from his body emanating out, penetrating her skin, being absorbed into her body.

“Gu Mingchen, no matter how bad you treated me in the past, I forgive you. However, from now on, I hope you can be honest with me about everything other than military affairs, alright?” Bai Rong whispered.

She waited for his reply but received none.

She shifted to face him and found him seemingly asleep.

His beautiful features drew her in, and she could not believe that they belonged to that man who scarred her forever.

Forget it.

If it was really him, he must have had his reasons. Perhaps it was part of a mission.

If it was him, he would have brought her child out the moment his parents objected.

But, he had not, which proved that her child was not with him.

His mission was extremely perilous and she did not want to burden him any further.

She carefully circled his waist with her arms and let sleep claim her as well.

They had been sleeping for an unknown amount of time when she was awakened by Gu Mingchen’s body shifting.

He checked the time and realized that it was already 4 p.m.. “Rong, I have to leave now. I will arrange for someone to send you back to Jinyang City.”

“Sure. Please focus on work and do not worry about me. I have Zhou Min protecting me and also the team you arranged to assist me, so there is nothing to worry about.” Bai Rong assured him, sitting up.

He kissed her forehead. “I will rest after I’m done with what I need to do.”

“Okay.”

Bai Rong climbed aboard the car. Her driver was a stranger that donned the Armed Police uniform.

As they drove along, Bai Rong peered at this strange city.

This strange city seemed to become more familiar by the second, knowing that he was there.

Out of the blue, the driver slammed the brakes.

The impact caused Bai Rong to fall forward onto the seat in front of her. “What happened?” She wondered as she looked out the window.

“I think I accidentally hit someone. I will go and check.” The driver said as he got out of the car.

Bai Rong heard a loud noise and before she could react, she found herself surrounded by masked, armed men.

“Who are you?” Bai Rong demanded in shock, her mind processing possible theories at lightning speed.

Could Gu Mingchen’s parents have found out about them?

Or is this the doing of Su Wanning?

“What do you want from me? I can give you all the money I have on me, just let me go.” Bai Rong rambled as she panicked.

“Shut up.” The man in the pig’s mask commanded as he pressed a handkerchief to Bai Rong’s nose.

She tried to hold her breath but it was useless and she soon passed out.

She woke up to a loud buzzing and blinding lights.

She blinked a few times, trying to adjust her eyes but closed them again.

Her hands and feet had been bound to the table.

“Do you dare make a move on Gu Mingchen’s woman?” A bald, fat man uproariously teased.

He pointed a gun at a bearded man challengingly. “If you have the guts to take her, I will believe that you are the chief, else do not try to fool me.”

“Since she is Gu Mingchen’s woman, I must have a good taste. Bring her to the room.” Another figure with a husky voice barked.

“If you want to do it, do it here and now. Unless you are a spy from the military?” The bald man roared.

The bearded man came and stood before Bai Rong.

He had small eyes behind thick spectacles and a forest of a beard that covered most of his face. He picked up a knife.

Bai Rong’s mind was blank other than the single thought about how frighteningly sharp the blade looked.

“Do not come over here. Do not touch me.” Bai Rong squeaked out.

This reminded her too closely of what happened three years ago.

The bearded man brought the knife down and sliced through Bai Rong’s bonds deftly.

Bai Rong swung with all her might and her palm connected deafeningly with the bearded man’s face.

The bearded man snapped and threw her forcefully onto the bed.
