You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 168

Bai Rong knew that she must be careful whenever she talked to Gu Mingchen. He could sense that something was wrong if she made a single mistake or logical fallacy.

Looking at Gu Mingchen from the sides of her eyes, she said, “How can we have a child in that position? We haven’t had sex that many times, anyway.”

Gu Mingchen did not say anything.

He could feel a tinge of grudge in her tone.

Could it be that he failed to satisfy her in the past?

This knowledge made Gu Mingchen extremely uncomfortable.

Bai Rong returned to her compartment.

Leng Qiuzun sized Bai Rong up with his penetrative and sharp gaze, as if he was seeing right through her. A chill ran down Bai Rong’s spine.

She merely glanced at Leng Qiuyan and pretended not to notice him, before returning to her original seat.

“Where did you go?” Asked Leng Qiuzun with a cold tone, as if he was interrogating her.

“I don’t have to report my whereabouts to you, right?” Asked Bai Rong warily.

“I’m your team leader now and I have to ensure your safety. You left for six hours and that’s too long to simply chat with someone else, right?” Asked Leng Qiuhan with a frown.

“I’m not a child. Plus, we’re on a train. Where can I go?” Bai Rong did not want to answer him.

“So I’m even more curious. What would require six hours to do on the train?” Leng Qiuhan wanted to get to the bottom of this.

“My good friend is here too, so I went over.” Bai Rong replied ambiguously.

“Which friend?” Leng Qiuhan asked demandingly.

Bai Rong frowned. “Although you’re my team leader for this case, you have no right to interfere with my freedom to make friends. Mr. Leng, you’re thinking too highly of yourself.”

Leng Qiuzun gritted his teeth and he turned his livid face away, pursing his lips tightly.

His assistant had a worried expression.

Mr. Leng was definitely furious.

“Ms. Bai, Mr. Leng is just concerned about you. When you were gone, he checked his phone many times just to make sure that you were safe.” The assistant told Bai Rong.

Bai Rong also realized that her tone was quite unpleasant. After all, she was guilty and was trying to conceal it with her sharp words and domineering attitude.

“Mr. Leng, I’m sorry.” Bai Rong took the initiative to apologize.

Leng Qiuzun continued ignoring her and stayed motionless like a statue.

Bai Rong glanced at him.

Since she had already apologized to him, it was up to him if he wanted to forgive her.

An alert for a message sounded on her phone.

She saw that it was from Gu Mingchen and opened it.

“If your colleague asked you where you went, just say that you were summoned by me to discuss the case. It’s alright to do that.”

Bai Rong kept her phone into her bag.

She had already said that she was meeting a friend. It would be too contradictory for her to suddenly change her words.

Anyway, it was a small matter.

Leng Qiuzun adjusted his emotions, looked at Bai Rong and asked, “Do you dare to sleep at the castle tonight?”

Bai Rong looked at Leng Qiuzun in surprise.

The castle already had a mysterious and murderous aura.

People would find it terrifying to go there during the day. To sleep there at night… These people were really too brave.

Leng Qiuhan smirked condescendingly. “You don’t? I heard that you were a doctor. You won’t believe that nonsense about ghosts and spirits, right?”

“I just think that it’ll be more comfortable sleeping in a hotel.” Explained Bai Rong.

Leng Qiuzan’s face darkened further.

“You’re here to work on the case, not to feel comfortable. I’m sorry but I need to settle this case within three days. There’s no time to waste. If you want to go to the hotel, go there yourself. To be honest, I don’t think you’d be of much help either.” Said Leng Qiuzun meanly.

Bai Rong did not know how to rebuke him. It seemed like if she did not stay with them in the castle, she would have committed a heinous crime.

“I understand.” Replied Bai Rong.

Leng Qiuzun turned his head around and said coldly, “Useless trash.”

Bai Rong was furious.

However, it would seem uncivilized to argue with him.

She did not need to convince him. All she needed to do was to affirm herself.

However, she still felt uneasy.

Bai Rong sent a text to Gu Mingchen: Do you know Leng Qiuzun? He’s a very famous detective and the team leader for this case. He wants us to stay in the castle where the murder happened.

“Ok.” Gu Mingchen sent her a single word.

Bai Rong only saw that curt and direct reply from him.

She felt a bit crestfallen.

An alert for a message sounded on her phone again. Again, it was from Gu Mingchen. “I have already made arrangements. We’ll be staying in the castle tonight as well. I’ll be bringing two people along with me so you don’t have to be afraid.”

Bai Rong’s lips curved upwards uncontrollably and she felt relieved immediately.

It seemed like she would feel safe wherever he went. He gave her a sense of security.

Leng Qiuzun snorted coldly and said to Bai Rong in a soft voice that only she could hear, “You’re just a little girl acting mature. When something happens, do you always complain about it to your boyfriend and seek his consolation?”

Bai Rong looked at Leng Qiuhan incredulously.

How did he know that she was making a complaint?

However, it did seem from her actions that she was complaining to her boyfriend and trying to be reassured of her safety.

Was Gu Mingchen her boyfriend?

Bai Rong’s heart beat faster and she looked outside the window, blushing.

The window reflected her shy look.

Bai Rong sighed.

Walking out of the shadows had been difficult for her. Was she going to fall into the same trap again?

The train reached its destination quickly.

“Don’t fall behind anymore. There’ll be someone from the Pingyan City police station coming to pick us up and they have prepared supper for us.” Leng Qiuzun said to the air.

Bai Rong assumed he was talking to her.

She analyzed Leng Qiuzun from a psychological perspective.

He was arrogant, rude, prideful and supercilious.

Furthermore, he probably knew who she was.

He had a world of his own – a world that could not be easily trespassed by others.

He did not speak to anyone and he only spoke to her occasionally, acting so arrogantly that he seemed foolish.

Yet, this proved that he was still willing to invite her into his world. However, he was still observing her.

Bai Rong suddenly felt that Leng Qiuzun was quite cute and laughed.

Leng Qiuzun looked at her at once and pulled a long face. “Why are you laughing?”

“Guess.” Bai Rong did not want to tell him.

“You’re laughing at me.” Leng Qiuzun stated clearly.

Bai Rong laughed even more cheerfully and her eyes curved into crescents. “It’s so rare that you’re in a muddle.”

Leng Qiuzun gritted his teeth. “So you’re really laughing at me.”

Bai Rong did not reply and walked in front.

The people from the police station picked them up in police cars and colorful lights above the cars spun around dazzlingly.

It was very easy to spot them.

A brawny man in police uniform walked forward and greeted Leng Qiuzun. “You have finally arrived! You must be hungry. Our chief has arranged for a meal with all of you so please follow me to the car.”

“Okay.” Answered Leng Qiuzun coolly.

Five people came in total.

There was a chauffeur and another person who came to pick them up in the car. Bai Rong deliberately wanted to sit in a different car from Leng Qiuzun.

When she walked to the car behind and sat on the backseat, Leng Qiuzun sat beside her.

Bai Rong was speechless.

It was even more unexpected that the chief had invited Gu Mingchen and the rest for supper.
