You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 11

Bai Rong had just arrived at the entrance of the military base when a familiar looking Land Rover pulled over next to her.

The tinted car window was rolled down.

Gu Mingchen looked at her sternly and gestured, “Get in.”

That was an intolerable command.

Bai Rong opened the door and climbed into the front seat.

He remained silent as he leaned on the car door, and the atmosphere was very tense.

“How should I transfer the money to you?” Bai Rong asked in uneasiness.

He did not look at her directly and his gaze was cold, “I don’t take bribes.”

“This isn’t a bribe. It’s for the cosmetics.” Bai Rong explained.

“If you don’t like them, just throw them away.” The man said coldly. It didn’t sound like he was joking.

Bai Rong found his behavior strange and didn’t like his tyrannical attitude, “You’re putting me in a tough spot here. That would mean that I accepted your things for free, which is inappropriate since there’s nothing between us.”

Gu Mingchen looked at her and asked, “You want something between us?”

Bai Rong was speechless.

She detected signs of flirting in his reply and that made her even more uncomfortable, “I’m married.”

“You think I don’t know that?” Gu Mingchen looked forward as he continued to drive.

Bai Rong couldn’t ascertain what the man was thinking, so she looked out the window in frustration.

“Do me a favor.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice.

That was a declarative sentence.

Bai Rong kept quiet and pursed her lips.

“Aren’t you going to ask what it is?” Gu Mingchen said. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Since you’re asking me for help, it must be something I am capable of. Although I don’t remember what happened that night, I assume you must have helped me out. Naturally, I should help out in any way I can as well.” Bai Rong said readily.

It was a very formal reply, and that distant them.

“Be my girlfriend.” Gu Mingchen said.

Bai Rong was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.

“Pretend as my girlfriend.” Gu Mingchen added and looked at her, “To attend a gathering.”

“I’m married, so I don’t think it’s suitable for me to pretend as your girlfriend.” Bai Rong reminded him.

Gu Mingchen’s lips twitched slightly, “It’s precisely because you’re married that I don’t need to worry about you falling for me. Isn’t that right?”

Bai Rong paused as she thought what he said made sense.

He wouldn’t fall for a married woman. Otherwise, on that night, they would’ve already…

Bai Rong cleared her throat.

What was she thinking?!

Just then, her phone rang. it was Liu Yan.

“How’s your date with that soldier?” Liu Yan asked gleefully.

There was some technical issue on Bai Rong’s phone. Afraid that Gu Mingchen would overhear their conversation, she answered awkwardly in a soft voice, “What date? Don’t talk nonsense!”

“He’d definitely show you a good time! Hahaha!” Liu Yan laughed.

“I’ll hang up if you don’t stop this crap!” She was a little irritated.

“I’m just joking! I have a present for you later, so have fun!” Liu Yan hung up before Bai Rong could.

The car fell silent.

Bai Rong licked her lips, and looked at Gu Mingchen who was still maintaining the same position.

She didn’t know how much he had heard and wanted to explain, but then doing so would make her seem guilty if he didn’t hear anything.

In the end, she didn’t say anything, and just looked out the window.

The car passed by Sheraton Hotel, and she could see Su Xuyan walking out with his arm wrapped around a pretty woman.

He was in a good mood as he whispered affectionately to the beautiful woman in his arms, and grinned mischievously before kissing the woman on the forehead.

Bai Rong slowly turned her face away and looked in front as she leaned back onto the chair.

Tears formed in her eyes again.

She compressed all her memories of Su Xuyan and kept it deep inside her mind. As long as she didn’t touch or think about it, she wouldn’t feel pain.

When she was deep in thought, her phone rang. It was Su Xuyan.

She paused for a moment, but didn’t answer it. And there went the phone ringing again. This time, she took the call.

“Where are you?” Su Xuyan asked frivolously.

From time to time, the voice of a woman laughing and moaning could be heard in the background.

“Where am I? That’s none of your business.” There was a hint of anger in Bai Rong’s voice.

“Return to your apartment in one hour. I’ll meet you there.” Su Xuyan said coldly.

Bai Rong hung up on him, switched the phone off and tossed it into her handbag.

Gu Mingchen looked at her, “Do you need me to drop you off here?”

“No.” She answered resolutely with her eyes looking ahead.

Sympathy flashed across Gu Mingchen’s eyes. He frowned in irritation and sped up.

Soon, the car arrived at the docks.

They stopped in front of a big cruise ship with a flag that had the word Gu written on it.

Gu Mingchen opened the car door for Bai Rong and hugged her shoulder gently, leaving enough space between them.

She liked the scent on him. It smelled like silvery wormwood, and had a faint reassuring and carefree feeling.

Since she had promised to pretend as his girlfriend, such intimacy was acceptable. Though she was a fake, they had to make it look convincing.

Together, they boarded the cruise ship.

Su Junhao walked over leisurely with his hands in the pockets. His gaze shifted to Bai Rong, then glanced at Gu Mingchen, “Was she alright yesterday?”

“Mhmm.” Gu Mingchen replied. His grip on her shoulder tightened as he pulled her closer.

Su Junhao raised an eyebrow and sighed, “Looks like my little sister is going to have a heart attack tonight. Go on in, they’ve been waiting for you.”

Gu Mingchen hugged Bai Rong as they entered.

The ship set sail and was a little shaky.

Bai Rong lost her balance and was about to fall, but he was quick enough to move his hand to her waist and held her firmly.

Right that moment, Bai Rong felt a tingling sensation on her waist. Her back stiffened as she stared at him.

“Give it a minute and it’ll go stable.” He said softly, as if he did that just to protect her.

So she had been gauging the gentleman with her own mean measure, “Thank you.”

They continued to walk inside.

The interior was designed like a mini bar, and there were a lot of people.

All of them had a look of surprise, followed by jealousy, and hatred when they saw the couple entering together and acting all intimately.

Among them, there was the lady in front of her, looking especially hostile. Her gaze alone could gun Bai Rong down on the spot.

Bai Rong could sense her antagonism.

“Allow me to introduce you. This is my sister, Su Wanning.” Su Junhao awkwardly introduced them.

Su Wanning scanned Bai Rong with a disdainful look in her eyes, then shifted her gaze towards Gu Mingchen as she said, “Did you seriously get yourself a fake girlfriend just to fool me? She is not your type.”
