You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445 Together Forever

Something flashed across Bai Rong’s mind. Mr. Gu must be referring to Gu Mingchen! Like a bolt of lightning, she darted out of the kitchen quickly. Gu Mingchen’s figure came into view, then he stood in front of her and gazed at her.

Nevertheless, her heart fell at the sight of the puppy in his arms. In an instant, her eyes became dimmer as the glint of delight in her eyes gradually vanished.

So he is not here to look for me, but just to return me the puppy!

“The puppy misses you,” Gu Mingchen replied in a low voice.

“Alright. Just put it in the kennel. Let me feed it something first.” Bai Rong turned to get some dog food from the kitchen.

Woof! Woof! Woof! It was as if the puppy was greeting her.

Bai Rong came out of the kitchen again with the packet of dog food. She led Gu Mingchen toward the bow of the yacht where the kennel was located.

Gu Mingchen put the puppy gently in the kennel, while Bai Rong poured some dog food into its bowl.

The puppy whimpered and wagged its tail as if it was talking to Bai Rong. She tickled it for a while and went to get it some water with another bowl.

Surprisingly, Gu Mingchen did not leave at once. Looking at the puppy which was eating hungrily, he stroked its head gently.

Aaron greeted him with a bright smile, “Mr. Gu, please join us for lunch. Bai Rong has bought a lot of ingredients.”

Instead of replying Aaron directly, Gu Mingchen turned to look at Bai Rong who was approaching the kennel with a bowl of water for the puppy.

She had no clue what was playing in his mind. She actually thought of inviting him for a meal with them as well, yet she was fearful that he would turn her down at once. If so, she would surely be upset.

After placing the bowl of water in the kennel, she said casually to Gu Mingchen, “I’m going to start cooking in the kitchen.”

Gu Mingchen still remained silent without giving her a glance.

Bai Rong was puzzled by his reaction and had no clue if he was willing to join them for a meal. Trying to conceal the growing eagerness within herself, she turned swiftly and headed for the kitchen to start with her preparation. She tilted her head and listened attentively from time to time to double check if Gu Mingchen was still around.

If he is reluctant to stay, he would have left by now. If he is willing to join us, I should be able to hear his voice.

As her mind started to wander, she accidentally cut her finger. Blood started oozing out from the tiny wound.

As she could not resist thinking of Gu Mingchen, she did not feel the pain on her finger at all. She could still hear the faint voices of Aaron having a conversation with him a while ago, yet there was only silence at the moment. Thinking that he must have left, her heart was filled with sorrow.

She recalled the love quotes she came across earlier from a book: Being in love is not solely about having affection for each other. It is indeed a field of knowledge which requires ongoing exploration, perseverance and effective communication between the couple. The relationship between two people who are deeply in love could be vulnerable and prone to unexpected hiccups from time to time. Hence, unlimited tolerance is required as one of the major key elements in order to foster emotional intimacy for an everlasting relationship.

Bai Rong was speechless when she thought of her personality.

She could not help but heave a deep sigh as she continued to ponder.

“You seem to end up having your fingers cut every time you use a knife in the kitchen. I shouldn’t let you cut vegetables or meat again.” Gu Mingchen’s sudden teasing voice drew her back to reality in an instant.

Bai Rong’s face lit up as she turned and saw Gu Mingchen standing beside her. He’s still here!

Without hesitation, he held her hand under the running tap water to rinse her wound. After that, he glanced at her and asked, “Do you have plaster?”

“Yeah, there are antiseptic and plaster in the bedside drawer,” Bai Rong replied with a smile.

Gu Mingchen let go of her hand and urged her, “Go and attend to your wound now.”

“Alright.” Bai Rong nodded obediently like a kid and turned away.

However, Gu Mingchen grabbed hold of her arm abruptly.

Bai Rong was puzzled and glanced obliquely at him.

Letting out a deep breath, Gu Mingchen pulled her into his arms and embraced her lovingly. With his eyes tightly shut, he tried to restrain the throbbing pain in his heart. “When I met Su Xuyan yesterday, he warned me to beware of you, claiming that you’re now with Shen Yiyan. Apart from that, you’ll become a diplomat soon and be a member of the cabinet. Bai Rong, what are you trying to do?”

Bai Rong looked intently at him and replied firmly, “I wish to get rid of those despicable people who hurt us and Yanny! Do you know that Su Zheng was the one who asked Leng Xiao to arrest Xia He?”

“Life is never fair to everyone. It is never a doubt that you’re upright and would never hurt anyone. But, it doesn’t mean that others will never inflict harm on you. Being in your position, it can’t be avoided that there are those who feel threatened by your power and become your foes. I just hope that you can be safe and sound all the time,” she added.

Upon hearing her words, Gu Mingchen gazed at her with a glint of indecipherable emotion in his eyes. “I know that I can’t talk you into changing your mind. Hence, I’ve decided to stay by your side for the rest of your path. I won’t let you be at risk by yourself. Live or die, we’ll never part with each other!” he swore to her.

Bai Rong gave him a punch on the shoulder as she tried to hold back her tears. “Why are you so impulsive? We’ve talked about this earlier, haven’t we? You’ve to help look after Yanny no matter what.”

Gu Mingchen grabbed her fists and replied, “We’ll take care of Yanny together. As for what I’ve mentioned previously, I didn’t mean it. Those words just happened to blurt out of my mouth abruptly.”

“What was it?” Bai Rong asked in bewilderment.

“Those harsh words that I used to criticize you previously… I claimed that you’d turned into a different person who’s deceitful, scheming, ruthless, and without a sense of virtue. I was actually criticizing you deliberately so you would give up getting involved in the politics and stop taking risks,” Gu Mingchen glanced at her with sadness in his eyes.

As Bai Rong lowered her eyes, tears started to trickle down her cheeks. “I was really hurt at that moment. Anyway, I managed to think it through after I woke up from a deep sleep.”

“That’s not a deep sleep. You actually passed out that time. I’d assigned my men to follow you closely all the time and monitor your condition. I was there all the time till Shen Yiyan’s men took you away,” Gu Mingchen explained further.

So he was there all the time, even when I passed out!

Wrapping her arms around his waist and leaning against his chest, Bai Rong said coquettishly, “Mingchen, we must remember not to quarrel again in the future. Let’s face all the challenges together and strive hard to move on. I really look forward to have many kids with you.”

“What if we leave here? I let go of my career, corporation, and the inheritance right of my family? By then, we can settle down overseas, lead a free and easy lifestyle. I’ll raise our family by taking up a normal job,” Gu Mingchen said gently.

“Do you think it’s possible?” Bai Rong asked Gu Mingchen.

She did not care much about anything, as long as he was safe.
