You Owe Me, My Love

If she was still the old Bai Rong from 3 years ago, she would’ve stuttered nervously at his straightforwardness. There was nowhere for her to hide from Gu Mingchen’s pressuring gaze.

But now, she was already able to face his probing gaze calmly.

“Is this thought bugging you badly, Chief?”

Gu Mingchen’s deep eyes flickered as he tried to ascertain the change in expression of the girl before him.

There was none.

The girl remained a cordial but distant smile without showing any change in her emotions.

“Is that true?” Gu Mingchen asked back instead, his gaze darkening further.

“The past is long gone with the wind, so why should you care about it now? Together or not, in love or not, it’s meaningless now. Maybe it’s just a one-sided yearning from my side. But as time passed, any unrealistic yearnings and desires of mine were now long buried within that turbulent past.” Bai Rong replied in a self-mocking manner.

“Don’t try to beat around the bush with me. I just need to know one thing; were we in love before?” Gu Mingchen suddenly turned serious, his expression sharp and cold like the chief he was.

Bai Rong paused for a while before spitting out her simple answer clearly, “No.”

“It’s just a simple yes and no question, for what did you tell me all that nonsense then? Did you think I have the time to listen to your nags?” Gu Mingchen glared at her as he felt inexplicable anger surging within him.

Bai Rong knew she had made a major mistake in the context of psychological studies. She shouldn’t have spoken so much in the first place, as the chances of saying the wrong things might have risen the more she talked. “Sorry.”

She was just desperate to hide herself. Trying too hard to hide her guilt and diffidence with her eloquence.

After the conversation, Gu Mingchen turned to look out of the window.

It was still raining as the heavy raindrops hit on the window panes loudly.

Bai Rong also turned towards the window. Throughout the journey, none of them spoke as the tension thickened between them. The car was filled with crushing heaviness, just like the heavy rain outside. It was a very uncomfortable ride for the both of them.

Finally, the car reached the psychiatric hospital. Desperate to escape from the heavy atmosphere, Bai Rong swiftly got down from the car.

Gu Mingchen’s subordinate helped her to unload her luggage and passed her an umbrella. The girl did not reject the caring offer and nodded gratefully before heading inside with her luggage.
