You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 165

Bai Rong had been rendered speechless.

Gu Mingchen had one of his men bring a large basin as well as five bottles filled with hot water.

Bai Rong could not stand it anymore and desperately needed to take a shower.

She stepped out of the bathroom, feeling clean and refreshed

Gu Mingchen went in and took his turn.

His laptop had been left open and Bai Rong scanned the screen.

There must be a lot of top-secret files on this laptop.

Yet, he left it unguarded and went into the bathroom. If anyone were to come in, the secrets would be stolen as easily as taking a candy from a baby.

She did not peek.

The more secrets one knew, the more likely they were to meet with a quick end.

She lay on the bed and opened social media on her phone,

Someone named Manman had sent over a wave of information.

Bai Rong had not used this account in some time besides the occasional correspondence with Liu Yan.

Also, she did not give her username away easily.

She had no recollection of this Manman. Could it be an old colleague who changed their username?

Some people like Liu Yan liked to change their username often.

It used to take her forever to find Liu Yan’s new usernames so eventually she made a remark on her friend’s name.

Bai Rong opened the messages.

“Are you here?” This message had been sent almost daily and it was all the person said.

“Hi, you are?” Bai Rong typed out in reply.

“Bai Rong, you’re finally here! I’ve missed you so much. Where are you now?” Manman immediately responded.

Bai Rong was even more bewildered at seeing her own name mentioned.

“Who are you?” Bai Rong asked.

“A man who loves you.” Manman cryptically responded.

Bai Rong could tell that he was determined to keep his identity a secret. He spoke almost childishly, trying to provoke her. This irked her and she could not contain her irritation. “I have many suitors. If you don’t tell me your name, then I’ll have no choice but to block you.”

He was silent for three seconds.

Bai Rong’s finger hovered over the button, getting ready to block him.

His message pinged in. “Su Xuyan.”

Bai Rong clearly remembered blocking Su Xuyan a long time ago so how was he still able to contact her?

Whether it was Su Xuyan or not, she decided to go ahead and block him anyway.

Her phone was suddenly snatched out of her hands.

Her head snapped up to see who had done it.

Gu Mingchen scrolled through the chat; a frown deeply etched into his forehead. “You have many suitors?”

That line was meant to provoke the other party but it undeniably carried a narcissistic undertone.

But his casual invasion of her privacy greatly displeased her.

She had not even peeked at his computer despite having ample opportunities.

“Quite a few.” Bai Rong retorted as she tried to retrieve her phone.

Gu Mingchen frown deepened. “You still keep in contact with your ex-husband?”

“I didn’t know it was him either. I actually thought it was a woman’s name. Frankly, I blocked him ages ago.” Bai Rong said truthfully.

Gu Mingchen blocked Manman and handed the phone back to her. “Let’s talk about these so-called suitors.”

Bai Rong rolled her eyes.

He had taken such a flippant comment of hers so seriously.

“Mao, Gou, Zhang San, Li Si, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu.” Bai Rong rattled off a string of random names.

Gu Mingchen held her chin and bent down to kiss her.

A more accurate word would be bite instead. He nibbled at her lip, but with just as much fervor and she soon found herself falling onto the bed.

Bai Rong jumped in surprise and instinctively pressed her hands against his chest, her face flushed. “Didn’t we just do it? I just got myself clean.”

Gu Mingchen looked deep into her eyes.

He said nothing but his gaze was so dazzling that she could see the tiny her in both his eyes.

She could not figure out his intentions.

“Who says you can’t do it again right after doing it once?” Gu Mingchen posed the question.

“That…” Bai Rong took the chance to sit up, scooting to the foot of the bed.

“Yes?” Gu Mingchen marked her every movement, letting her squirm.

“Once a week is the minimum; twice a week is passionate; but ten times a week is just unhealthy.” Bai Rong explained hastily.

Gu Mingchen peered at her. “So what’s the right number of times a week for you?”

His words seemed like a trap.

If she replied once, it made her seem like a toy. The idea abhorred her.

If she said twice, it made her seem greedy and unvirtuous.

“There isn’t a serious answer to such a question.” Bai Rong hoped he could drop the topic.

“So you are aware of this too.” The corners of his mouth curled into another smirk.

Bai Rong found herself with no comeback.

He was clearly referring to her previous comment.

The man was neither smooth nor silver-tongued, yet she had no retort.

Gu Mingchen was a man of few words and spent most of his time in brooding silence.

He spoke seriously and often sternly hence most people found him to be unfriendly and intimidating.

His effort to heckle her was frustrating. “Do you have to beat me at everything? Won’t your heart ache?” She hissed back at him.

Won’t your heart ache?

This statement appeared often online.

She regretted it once the words left her mouth.

Someone as rigid as Gu Mingchen would never recognize it as internet language which was meant as a joke.

He would take it at face value.

“I’ll give in to you next time.” He promised gentlemanly.

Bai Rong felt that odd feeling washed over her again as she lowered her head and immersed herself in his strong aura.

He was already standing in front of her.

“But, I do have to correct you on something.” Gu Mingchen murmured.

“What?” Bai Rong revisited recent events in her head but could find no wrong.

“For the past three years, I’ve had no other woman and have not settled myself either. All I want is you.” Gu Mingchen said with complete seriousness.

Bai Rong’s heart was pounding at breakneck speed.

Was he hinting at something?

He had feelings for her?

That’s not possible.

There was a difference between having feelings for her and fulfilling his sexual needs with her.

He did say that she was not his type and found it appalling that he ever had feelings for her.

But why was he telling her these now?

Bai Rong stared at his clear, calm eyes.

He must just be trying to say that he liked having sex with her.

She did not know if she should laugh or cry.

“If you’ve really never settled yourself then how did you manage all this time?” Bai Rong asked furtively.

He had always run hot and she could feel his heat emanating.

“Exercise, training and high-pressure situations don’t leave me much time or energy for such matters anyway. Although sometimes I’ll find the blanket soiled in the morning.”

Bai Rong thought about Su Wanning.

Su Wanning was his fiancée and was also older than Bai Rong.

She was already twenty-eight herself so Su Wanning must have needs as well.

Should she bring up Su Wanning’s condition?

Best not to interfere.

But, if both she and Su Wanning were sleeping with Gu Mingchen, wouldn’t she be putting herself at risk?

“You need to use a condom from now onwards no matter what.” Bai Rong felt even warmer and walked over to the other side of the bed to put some space between them.

Gu Mingchen noticed that and grabbed her by the waist and easily engulfed her within his embrace. “Didn’t you just get your IUD? So why would we need to use a condom?”

Bai Rong found herself with nothing to say yet again.
