You Owe Me, My Love

Bai Rong finally understood.

Gu Mingchen wanted her to be his woman not because he loved, or even liked her. Instead, it was for him to find out about his past.

He was sounding her out, observing and assessing her.

She could feel her heart aching badly.

His parents hid the past from him because they did not want their son to get involved with her again and destroy his own future.

As for her, she did not want to reveal the past to him as she did not want to become the obstacle to his success.

In the name of protection, they had led Gu Mingchen to become an unfeeling, stony-hearted person.

“I am not showering.” Bai Rong insisted and turned to face the side, feeling frustrated.

The man pulled her into his arms and said, “Then I will help you.”

Bai Rong tried to wriggle out of his grip, but it was as though his arm was made of steel, she failed to do so.

The hot air that Gu Mingchen was exhaling fell onto her cold face.

As she was unable to escape, Bai Rong gave up struggling. She heaved out a sigh and relented. “I will shower myself.”

“You can choose any room you like and you will be staying here from now on. I will come by when I have time. I am usually very busy and only have one or two days free a month. You are free to do anything you want for the rest of the time.” The man said in a deep voice as he looked at her with his blazing eyes, as though he was acceding to her previous request.

Bai Rong did a quick mental calculation. If he was only free one to two days a month, she would at most see him for twenty-four days in a year. It did not seem too unbearable.

“I have already told you everything I knew about you. We haven’t known each other for long. This is something you can easily verify. From the day of that operation to save the pregnant woman till the day of your accident, it was at most half a year. Besides, we have already broken up before that.” She explained.

“I will investigate to confirm if what you said is true.” Gu Mingchen did not believe her.

“Within this one year, don’t tell anyone about our arrangement. If we see each other outside, we have to pretend that we don’t know each other, is that ok?” Bai Rong made a request.

Gu Mingchen looked at her sharply.

Countless women wanted to be associated with him. Why was she so afraid of it?

“OK.” Gu Mingchen replied in a low voice.
