You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 170

Gu Mingchen carried her into the last cubicle.

As the space was too cramped, she could feel his strong and steady heartbeat by pressing against his chest.

Suddenly, a hint of sorrow crept over her and she looked up at Gu Mingchen.

At least he was still alive, right?

She should be grateful that the only thing lost was his memories, not his life.

However, why were her eyes watering?

Was she still reluctant to accept this outcome? Was she sad, or did she pity herself?

Bai Rong lowered her head, her long eyelashes hiding the true emotions brimming in her eyes.

She should not let him find out.

“Mr. Gu is a very distinguished person, right?” Leng Qiuzun’s voice sounded.

“Yes, most likely so. The superiors have ordered us to listen to his commands.” The police chief replied.

“Does he have a girlfriend?” Leng Qiuzun suddenly asked indifferently as he turned on the tap to wash his hands.

“I’m not sure about that. If I don’t even know his exact identity, how would I know if he has a girlfriend?” The police chief laughed.

“Mr. Gu is really a lady-killer. When my assistant and Bai Rong looked at him, they kept blushing.” Leng Qiuzun said in a strange manner. Then, he opened the door and left.

Bai Rong was speechless at his words.

Did she blush when she saw Gu Mingchen?

How could she not be aware of it?

Leng Qiuzun’s observation skills were too strong—so strong that it worried her.

“Did you blush when you saw me?” Gu Mingchen asked with great enthusiasm.

“No, it’s probably because I drank a bit of wine. Leng Qiuzun loves to spout nonsense.” Bai Rong denied.

Gu Mingchen kissed her lips again but Bai Rong dodged by moving backwards. The man was unhappy with her actions and pinched her chin.

Bai Rong pulled Gu Mingchen’s hand away and explained, “We’ve already been out here for a long time. They’ll suspect something if we don’t return soon.”

Without waiting for Gu Mingchen’s reply, she pulled the door open, shielded her face and walked out briskly.

When she returned to the suite, everyone except for Gu Mingchen was present.

Leng Qiuzun glanced at Bai Rong. “You left for a long time. I even thought that you have drowned in the toilet.”

Bai Rong was a bit embarrassed.

Leng Qiuzun had been targeting her constantly.

“Does that have anything to do with you?” Bai Rong retorted in a low voice and did not bother with her tone.

Leng Qiuzun looked at the woman and met her resentful, yet slightly embarrassed gaze.

She was embarrassed because of what Leng Qiuzun said earlier—that she would blush when she saw Gu Mingchen.

Leng Qiuzun’s gaze became a bit odd. He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

Ignoring him, Bai Rong continued to deshell her crab. It was actually quite delicious.

Leng Qiuzun placed his crab beside her.

She looked at him confusedly.

“Deshell it for me.” Leng Qiuzun demanded curtly.

Bai Rong laughed, feeling amused.

Where did he get the courage to assume that I would help him deshell the crab?

“Assistant Leng, please help your boss.” Bai Rong passed the plate to his assistant.

Leng Qiuzun looked displeased. “Is this how you should treat your superior?”

“You aren’t my superior anyway.” Bai Rong replied rudely.

Leng Qiuzun was rendered speechless by her retort.

Gu Mingchen entered from the door and sat opposite Bai Rong.

“Mr. Gu, do you have a girlfriend?” Leng Qiuzun asked directly. As he was not in a good mood, his tone was very unpleasant as well.

Gu Mingchen glanced at Bai Rong casually.

“Yes.” He replied in a deep voice.

Bai Rong’s heart beat rapidly.

Bai Rong was speechless.

Digging her phone out of her bag, she noticed that the call was from Gu Mingchen.

Her relief immediately disappeared.

She picked up Gu Mingchen’s call.

“Didn’t you have enough sleep during the day?” Gu Mingchen asked. His tone was deep, as if he was trying to suppress his anger.

“Huh?” Bai Rong did not understand what Gu Mingchen was saying at first and she looked outside the window subconsciously.

When she met Gu Mingchen’s hawk-like eyes, she guessed that the chief had witnessed her leaning against Leng Qiuzun’s shoulder. She hurriedly explained, “I won’t do it in the future.”

“Wake up!” Gu Mingchen commanded.

Bai Rong felt extremely guilty, as if she had been caught committing a crime.

“Got it.” She hung up the call.

The traffic light turned green and the cars started to move.

“Is your boyfriend checking on you?” Leng Qiuzun asked as he looked at Bai Rong from the side of his eyes.

“Mr. Leng, you’re such a busybody.” Bai Rong replied as she leaned against the seat.

“Didn’t you say that you don’t have a boyfriend? I don’t understand the psychology of women like you who lie.” Leng Qiuzun scorned.

“My psychology has nothing to do with you, right?” Bai Rong retorted defiantly.

Leng Qiuzun became angry and kicked the seat in front of him.

Leng Qiuzun’s assistant was sitting in front of him and her face paled immediately.

She knew Mr. Leng hated people criticizing him and tried to clarify for her boss, “Ms. Bai, Mr. Leng is never a busybody! He’s very responsible and is probably showing slightly more concern for you since you’re part of his team.”

Bai Rong did not want to ruin her relationship with Leng Qiuzun as they had to solve the case together. Hence, she stopped arguing and changed the topic. She asked the policeman driving the car, “How long more until we reach the place?”

“About half an hour more. To be honest, you’re really brave. There’s still something which the police chief had not mentioned. Back in 2007, a terrifying incident happened in the castle.” The policeman said.

“What terrifying incident?” Bai Rong asked.

Her instinct told her that that terrifying incident would be the beginning of the case.
