You Owe Me, My Love

Liu Yan observed the change in her expression and asked worriedly, “Did anything happen?”

After putting her phone into silent mode, Bai Rong kept it inside her bag and said, “It’s nothing, don’t worry.”

“OK. You have to keep a lookout for me later. You are the expert at psychology. I’ll feel more at ease with you around.” Liu Yan said happily.

Liu Yan continued talking but nothing went into Bai Rong’s ears as she was deep in thought.

Gu Mingchen just asked Liu Yan about their past. According to the Liu Yan she knew and her reaction, she was sure that her friend had told the man everything she knew and might have even exaggerated it.

She was sure that Liu Yan’s intentions were good. But in reality, it was a mistake to tell him all those things. However, Bai Rong was already used to it.

She suspected that Gu Mingchen’s purpose for tonight’s dinner was to expose her lie, and the thought of that stressed her out.

If she did not go, it would give her more time to come up with a response.

“There is someone I had my eyes on. He’s a lieutenant in the Special Forces and is in charge of training the Gray Wolf. He’s really dashing and fit. He came to me for consultation previously and I liked him at once. After that, he keeps sending me gifts and we even went on a few dates. He has a good family background. His dad is at least a colonel with the navy and his mom is the principal of an elementary school. I am quite sure that he is also interested in me. He even kissed me one day after he sent me home. But we just kind of fizzled out.” Liu Yan said regretfully.

“Either he did not like you but still wanted to keep a good image, or something might have happened that stopped your progress.” Bai Rong analyzed.

Liu Yan creased her brows. “Could it be that his family objected to us?”

Bai Rong smiled faintly and said, “There could be a lot of reasons. It depends on whether you still want to pursue a relationship with him or not.”

“Of course I want to. He’s the only person I’m interested in after so many years. He is fit, good-looking, has a good character and family background. Damn, I think he just didn’t like me.” Liu Yan said freely.

“Then you should find out the real reason and think of a solution. If a solution is possible, then you should work it out. If not, you should stop holding on to it.” Bai Rong replied as her eyes darkened. She looked outside the window and kept quiet.

The singles event was not held within the military base as outsiders were not allowed to enter the compound. Instead, it was held at a club in an external activity center which belonged to the military base.
