You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 147

She felt that she would come across as doubting his character if she insisted, which might anger him further, so she decided to look out the window in silence instead.

She felt uneasy out of her fear of the unknown as well as how everything was out of her expectations.

Her phone rang and she answered as soon as she saw that it was Liu Yan.

“Rong, where are you now? I’ve snuck out of work! I’ll come pick you up since the rain is so heavy.” Liu Yan said triumphantly.

Bai Rong felt like she had received timely support and said, “Head over to Sky Resort now. I’ll be waiting for you there. Call me when you arrive.”

“Alright, see you later! Love you!” Liu Yan hung up energetically and Bai Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Mingchen remained expressionless as he said to Lieutenant Song, “Such heavy rain makes it a suitable condition to train the willpower of our soldiers. Arrange for an emergency training in ten minutes. Also, have all the medical staff on standby in the office for the safety of our troops.”

Bai Rong was speechless as she felt that Gu Mingchen was doing it on purpose.

Is his hearing that sharp that he overheard their conversation?

Seemed like he knew about her relationship with Liu Yan and she didn’t want to get her friend in trouble.

“Don’t conduct the emergency training, it’s too dangerous.” Bai Rong protested softly.

Gu Mingchen looked at Bai Rong, “Cultivating the ability to resist danger today is to prepare them to survive the dangers they come across in the future. Does Ms. Bai have any complaints about the way we do things in the military?”

Bai Rong was at a loss for words as she was shocked at how heartless and cruel Gu Mingchen had become.

She looked out the window angrily.

Soon after, Liu Yan called, “Damn it! That crazy chief is having the soldiers carry out an emergency training in such bad weather conditions and I have to be there as well! How inhumane can this guy be?! Thankfully you didn’t get together with him…”

Bai Rong felt nervous as she didn’t want Gu Mingchen to know about their past and interrupted her, “Yan, there’s no rush! Take your time, I’m not planning on leaving anymore after coming back, so we can meet up anytime!”

“I guess that’ll have to do for now. You have no idea how strict Gu Mingchen is! I don’t even dare to talk loudly at the military base because of him! Alright, I’ll talk to you later.” Liu Yan said and hung up helplessly.

Before Bai Rong put her phone away, Gu Mingchen turned around and placed his arm next to her as he stared at her, “What did she mean by that just now?”

She could feel his breath on her face with every word he said and tried to calm herself down.

Gu Mingchen had heard it, so denying it would just come across as covering up.

She smiled slightly, “Literally what it says.”

“Have we…” Gu Mingchen continued to stare at her as he slowly said, “Slept before?”

Bai Rong didn’t expect him to be so direct, so she turned away to avoid eye contact.

Gu Mingchen understood and said calmly, “So we have slept before.”

Bai Rong didn’t know how to respond and just closed her eyes as she took a deep breath.

She had learnt from her studies of psychology that one mustn’t lie out of guilt when the mind was unable to think clearly, as a single lie often led to an endless amount of lies to cover up the first lie.

Bai Rong looked at Gu Mingchen, “There was nothing worth remembering about the chief’s techniques and performance.”

Gu Mingchen frowned and lifted her chin, “What did you say?”

“Isn’t it interesting how she said it was great that I didn’t get together with you? Of course, if that made you angry, then maybe I should say that your techniques and performance were amazing and stunning instead, Chief.”

Gu Mingchen frowned deeper as he felt uncomfortable with her smile. He let go of her chin and sat up straight as he looked in front.

Bai Rong rubbed her face.

Gu Mingchen kept quiet and the atmosphere in the car felt ice-cold.

She wouldn’t initiate conversations either as it would expose her guilty conscience.

The secret to living a long life was to be cautious with one’s words and actions, after all.

They finally arrived at Sky Resort.

Lieutenant Song came over to Gu Mingchen with an umbrella, but the latter looked at Bai Rong and said, “Use it for her.”

“Yes, sir.” Lieutenant Song walked over to Bai Rong.

Bai Rong looked at Gu Mingchen who was walking into the heavy rain and felt a slight warmth in her heart as her eyes teared up a little.

Even though he had lost his memories and had changed a lot, he still retained his warm heart.

Bai Rong felt uneasy and turned away as she took a deep breath to calm herself down before walking towards the resort entrance with Lieutenant Song.

Gu Mingchen had gone in first and placed a few pairs of slippers at the doorstep.

They were all for men and were of bigger sizes, which meant that she could be the first female to have come here.

Even if she wasn’t, it didn’t seem like women visited the place frequently.

Bai Rong lowered her gaze as she put on the slippers and went inside.

Gu Mingchen was pouring himself a drink and asked without looking at her, “Do you prefer coffee or fruit juice?”

“Water is fine.” Bai Rong said.

Gu Mingchen handed her a glass of water and she took it over with an expressionless look on her face.

“Tell me, how do you charge your patients?” Gu Mingchen asked in a formal tone.

Bai Rong took a sip and placed her glass down, “When I was in America, I charged two thousand per hour.”

“Reasonable, I’ll pay you once a month. Let’s begin now.” Gu Mingchen walked towards the study room.

Bai Rong looked at him and felt it was better that way, as they would not owe each other anything by keeping things professional between them.

She followed him into the study room.

It was very neat and tidy with a huge variety of books.

She saw a lot of warship models on his desk as well as a book on military affairs with a pen between the pages.

His habit of making notes while reading hadn’t changed.

Bai Rong sat in front of him.

“Begin.” Gu Mingchen said.

“What do you think your problem is?” Bai Rong asked softly as she gently knocked on the table.

“I’ve been having a lot of dreams about a woman in the past three years. I’ve never been able to see her face clearly, but she’s always there. I thought she was my girlfriend at first, but later found out that it wasn’t her.” Gu Mingchen said in confusion.

“How did you find out that it wasn’t her?” Bai Rong asked.

“She was in pain and shouted herself hoarse.” Gu Mingchen looked at Bai Rong’s hand, “I saw that she had also lost a pinky finger.”
