You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 156

As Gu Mingchen got more excited, Bai Rong suddenly remembered that it was her fertile period. She pushed against his chest while reminding him, “Don’t cum inside.”

He fixed his blazing gaze on her flushed face as he felt a warm current passing through his spine.

Keeping his last ounce of sanity, the man pulled out and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Bai Rong felt a spurt of warm liquid on her stomach as Gu Mingchen let out a muffled grunt.

She was breathing raggedly and her eyes were unfocused. Gradually, her calmness returned.

A faint smile appeared on the man’s face that was not easily noticed. “No wonder people say that body does not lie. You are the epitome of that saying.”

Bai Rong did not like to be described that way. To her, it sounded like sarcasm under the disguise of intimacy.

She smiled as well, although her eyes remained emotionless. “I’m not sure if Chief has come across the saying that one should not engage in a futile struggle with the opponent if the disparity in strength is too great. It would be a smarter choice to choose enjoyment in such a scenario.”

“You mean you have enjoyed yourself just now?” Gu Mingchen asked.

The woman went along with his words and replied, “Your service was great.”

“You have the gift of the gab.” He said as he walked towards the bathroom and seemed to be in a good mood.

Bai Rong sat up and wiped herself.

However, his smell still lingered on her body that made her feel uncomfortable.

So, she went back to her own room and showered again. As the clothes Bai Rong was previously wearing had been torn, she changed into a business dress from J.K. and walked out of the room with her suitcase.

Gu Mingchen was also ready and was dressed in a dark purple suit and a matching shirt. He was back to his usual elegant and cold self, as though the passion they shared just now was just a dream.

He glanced at her suitcase and his relaxed eyes turned cold. “You can stay here.” He said.

“It is quite inconvenient for me as it is too far away from my workplace.” Bai Rong did not want to start an argument with him.

“Tell me if there is any villa you fancy near your office. I will buy you one.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice.

“I have my own money.” She rejected him flatly.

“You must accept it even if you can afford it yourself. Since your office is near the research institute, I will find a place in that area for you.” He said domineeringly.

Bai Rong wondered what he had in mind.

She felt that the man wanted to buy her a house to establish an employer and employee relationship between them.

He was paying her for using her. It was not a fair relationship to begin with. Needless to say, it was definitely not a continuation of their previous relationship.

She wanted them to be equals. However, it was not something she could decide. The powerful people always had their ways. It was just how the world operated.

“Thank you.” Bai Rong stopped resisting. At most I’ll just return it to him one year later. Her eyes turned even colder as she thought.

Gu Mingchen stood up and said, “I need to go back to the military base now. I’ll contact you again later.”

She nodded and sat down on the sofa after he left. She looked silently into space and her eyes turned misty.

After resting for one hour, Bai Rong went out for lunch and returned to the research institute in the afternoon.

Mu Xiaosheng’s research institute was quite huge. It was located in tower A and was four stories high.

When he saw her walking over, he was elated and started making small talk with her. “Did you sleep well last night?”

“It was alright.” Bai Rong replied.

“Oh.” Mu Xiaosheng was already used to the woman’s aloofness. “The man who gave your friend a lift yesterday was your ex-husband right? He seemed to be very concerned about you and kept asking me about you.”

She did not want to hear anything about Su Xuyan. “My friend is safely back at the military base right?”

“I think so.” He said with an awkward expression.

Bai Rong noticed that something was amiss and pressed on. “What do you mean by you ‘think so’?”

“The military base does not allow unregistered cars to drive in so your friend was dropped off at the guard post. I was going to inform you yesterday but I did not want to wake you up. I knew you were going to come to work today so I intended to tell you when I see you.” The man explained.

She called Liu Yan immediately, who picked up only after five rings.

“Yan, is everything OK?” Bai Rong asked worriedly.

“Yup yup, I was drunk yesterday. Luckily, Chief Gu was out for a meeting and came back late. I slept throughout the entire morning and feel better now. How about you?” Liu Yan was also worried about her.

“I’m OK. I’m at work now. I shouldn’t hold you up too. Talk again later.” Bai Rong said.

“Not too late. I have something to tell you. There’s a singles party at the military base tonight and we are allowed to bring friends along. Can you come with me? You can give me some advice. If I don’t find somebody soon, I will have to remain single forever.”

“The fittest survive and you are the best.” Bai Rong said jokingly.

“Haha, well said! I haven’t been slacking off actually. Every time I fail, I try again. I’m pretty, approachable, have a good family background and a decent job. I just cannot understand why I’m still single.” Liu Yan said helplessly.

“I’ll go with you tonight. I need to get back to work now. See you.” Bai Rong hung up the phone and sat down opposite Mu Xiaosheng. “So, what would my job scope be?”

“Actually I know that it’s a waste for a talent like you to stay in our small organization. You came here because you are a person of your word but I can’t take advantage of that. You only need to help me with twenty-four cases. Once the twenty-four cases are completed, you are free to leave. Take a look at the contract. It’s specially drafted for you.” Mu Xiaosheng said as he passed the contract to her.

Bai Rong briefly scanned through the contract and it did not seem to have any issue. She would also be receiving a one-off payment of one hundred and fifty thousand.

“I have two questions. Why is it specifically twenty-four cases?” She asked.

“I think I shouldn’t hold you back for five years. I only sponsored you for two years, so it would be fairer to you to work here for just two years. The yearly performance appraisal at our institute is based on twelve cases per year. So twenty-four cases would be for two years.” The man explained.

“I will sign after you remove the part on the one-off payment.” Bai Rong said decisively.

“You don’t want any compensation?” Mu Xiaosheng was shocked.

“You already mentioned that the twenty-four cases are to repay you for the two-year sponsorship. Since it’s already a sponsorship, how can I ask for any additional payments? Mu Xiaosheng, not everything can be measured by monetary means. You lent me a helping hand when I was in a dire situation. Your kindness is way more precious than one hundred and fifty thousand.” The woman smiled.

Although it was just a simple smile, she looked so beautiful that Mu Xiaosheng’s heart did a double somersault.

“OK then, I’ll get the Human Resource Department to redraft the contract. I hope we can remain friends even after the end of your stint here.”

“I will always be here whenever you need my help.” Bai Rong agreed readily.

Just then, Liu Yan called again and Bai Rong picked up.

“Rong, does Gu Mingchen know that you are back? It’s so strange. He has never spoken to me even once for the past three years but he just sent someone to ask me to go to his office. What is going on? I’m kind of worried.” Liu Yan asked nervously.

Bai Rong immediately thought of a possibility and her heart skipped a beat, before sinking…
