You Owe Me, My Love

Zhou Min felt sad, “How about I request for you to continue being in charge if the chief wants us to continue with the mission?”

“Putting me in charge would only slow you down. Your job would be a lot easier if Gu Mingchen leads the team with his wide connections and high authority. This discussion ends here. Come over for dinner tonight.” Bai Rong turned and walked towards the prosecutor’s office.

She saw Gu Mingchen at the entrance and kept her head low as she stood aside.

He left while escorted by a group of soldiers without even looking at her, just like how she didn’t look at him as she returned to her office.

At night, Zhou Min summoned everyone for dinner at their secret hideout.

Bai Rong and Zhou Min were the chefs, while the rest bought beer, peanuts, pork head meat, fried yellow croakers, marinated chicken wings, beef and other cold dishes.

They started drinking and chatting away, their bonds strengthened from their fate of being abandoned together.

Bai Rong served up the dishes one after another.

“Ms. Bai, your cooking is amazing! Whoever marries you is a lucky man!” A soldier teased.

Bai Rong smiled, “Such things depend on fate. You can’t stop something that’s fated from happening, and you can’t make something happen if it isn’t fated.”

“Heh, that’s probably just because your standards are too high. I think it’s better to find someone who shares similar views and can stay by your side. You would end up with nobody if you set your standards that high.”

“That makes sense.” Bai Rong played along.

“What are you talking about? Someone as excellent as Bai Rong must find a man that is of decent standards.” Zhou Min scolded him.

“Hehe, I just wanted to see if I stand a chance, that’s all.” The soldier laughed.

“You sure are full of wishful thinking.” Zhou Min cut him off directly.

“Then do you think we’d make a good match, Zhou Min?”

“Go screw yourself.”

“Hahahaha!”
