You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 61

Bai Rong plucked up her courage and called Gu Mingchen.

“Gu Mingchen. Bai Rong here. Are you free to come over for dinner tonight?” Bai Rong asked, as her eyes turned red.

“Yup, I’ll be there.” Gu Mingchen said in his deep voice.

Bai Rong furrowed her brows and turned away. She hung up quickly so that he would not hear the emotions in her voice.

The previous time she invited Gu Mingchen for dinner was also to make things clear with him.

It was no different this time. There was still no future between them.

Bai Rong felt miserable. The feeling was weighing so heavily on her heart that she felt like she wasn’t able to breathe anymore.

She slammed her phone against the floor.

Liu Yan walked out of her room when she heard the noise.

She knew that Bai Rong wasn’t her usual self and was worried. “Rong, what’s wrong? Gu Mingchen said he couldn’t come?”

Bai Rong shook her head and pulled Liu Yan close for a hug. She choked as she said, “Promise me that you will have a happy life.”

“Yes yes. Rong, what actually happened? Don’t scare me.” Liu Yan asked as she pushed Bai Rong away and scanned her eyes for any trace of hint.

Bai Rong smiled.

She could bear the suffering alone.

If Liu Yan knew, she would just be upset and act recklessly.

“Nothing happened. I was just feeling emotional. Talk to you later. I am going out to buy some ingredients now.” Bai Rong said as she picked up her phone from the floor.

Liu Yan had a feeling that something serious had happened as she watched Bai Rong’s lonely figure walk out the door.

Bai Rong went to the supermarket.

She remembered that Gu Mingchen was allergic to crayfishes, so she took fish, pork ribs, beef tenderloin, green peppers, eggs, minced meat, carrots, tofu and two bottles of wine. When she was at the checkout counter, she grabbed two packs of condoms as well.

Bai Rong made payment and put the condoms into her bag.

After she got back, she whipped up fish tofu soup, braised pork ribs, beef tenderloin with green peppers, carrot with minced pork and steamed eggs, then took a bath.

Gu Mingchen finished his work at the fastest speed possible and went to Bai Rong’s place.

He knocked on the door and she opened it.

The fragrant aroma of the cooked dishes rushed into Gu Mingchen’s nose at once. It was the smell of home.

Bai Rong closed the door after he entered the house.

Gu Mingchen grabbed Bai Rong’s arm and pulled her close, then, leaned forward and kissed her lips.

Bai Rong did not resist. She closed her eyes.

After today, they were going to become strangers who would never cross paths again.

Bai Rong wanted to let herself loose tonight. She would clear her mind of any thoughts.

Suddenly, Gu Mingchen felt something hot and wet on the corner of his lips. He looked at Bai Rong and was stunned. “Did I hurt you?” He asked.

Bai Rong seldom cried before she met Gu Mingchen.

To her, crying was a sign of weakness.

Crying would only give a reason for enemies to gloat and loved ones to feel pained.

But Bai Rong was unable to control her tears at the thought of their impending separation.

Bai Rong shook her head and beamed at Gu Mingchen. “You’re here so early.” she said.

“It looks like dinner is already ready.” Gu Mingchen said, as he wiped away Bai Rong’s tears and kissed her cheek. He held her hand and walked towards the dining table.

Bai Rong sat down at the table and poured them a glass of red wine each.

Gu Mingchen tasted a piece of braised pork ribs.

“Does it taste good?” Bai Rong was eager to know if he liked it.

“Very nice.” He complimented and ate another piece.

Bai Rong supported her chin on her hand and took a sip of wine. She looked at him with dreamy eyes.

Her lips traced from his lips to his Adam’s apple. She sucked on it gently for a while and started to unbutton his suit.

Gu Mingchen carried her in his arms and asked, “Which room is yours?”

“The one on the left. Are you showering first?” Bai Rong asked, as a blush spread across her cheeks.

“Together?” Gu Mingchen asked. His voice sounded hoarse.

“I already showered. You can go ahead. There’s a clean towel in the bathroom.” Bai Rong said softly.

Gu Mingchen dropped her onto the bed. The corners of his mouth were raised as he said, “I won’t mind even if you haven’t.”

He went into the bathroom.

As Bai Rong heard the sound of the flowing water, her heart thumped so hard that she had to keep taking deep breaths.

She drew the curtains and placed a packet of condoms on the table. After pondering for a while, Bai Rong got undressed. She put her clothes on the bedside table and climbed into bed.

She was still feeling nervous.

Bai Rong was already twenty-four years old. She had an empty shell marriage for three years and she had lost count of the number of times her husband made her a cuckold.

By right, she shouldn’t be feeling guilty, nor uneasy.

Bai Rong kept trying to convince and numb herself.

She might even be tortured to death in the near future.

Before that, if she had not done anything with Gu Mingchen, she would not be able to go in peace.

Bai Rong felt a lot calmer at this thought.

Gu Mingchen came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist that clearly showed his six-packs and walked towards her.

Bai Rong was too shy to look at his muscular body and covered her face with the blanket.

Gu Mingchen sat at the side of the bed and removed the blanket from her face.

“Bai Rong, I am asking you one last time. Have you really thought through it carefully? I won’t let you change your mind after this.” He asked, as he looked at her with blazing eyes.
