You Owe Me, My Love

Bai Rong had been rendered speechless.

Gu Mingchen had one of his men bring a large basin as well as five bottles filled with hot water.

Bai Rong could not stand it anymore and desperately needed to take a shower.

She stepped out of the bathroom, feeling clean and refreshed

Gu Mingchen went in and took his turn.

His laptop had been left open and Bai Rong scanned the screen.

There must be a lot of top-secret files on this laptop.

Yet, he left it unguarded and went into the bathroom. If anyone were to come in, the secrets would be stolen as easily as taking a candy from a baby.

She did not peek.

The more secrets one knew, the more likely they were to meet with a quick end.

She lay on the bed and opened social media on her phone,

Someone named Manman had sent over a wave of information.

Bai Rong had not used this account in some time besides the occasional correspondence with Liu Yan.

Also, she did not give her username away easily.

She had no recollection of this Manman. Could it be an old colleague who changed their username?

Some people like Liu Yan liked to change their username often.

It used to take her forever to find Liu Yan’s new usernames so eventually she made a remark on her friend’s name.

Bai Rong opened the messages.

“Are you here?” This message had been sent almost daily and it was all the person said.

“Hi, you are?” Bai Rong typed out in reply.

“Bai Rong, you’re finally here! I’ve missed you so much. Where are you now?” Manman immediately responded.

Bai Rong was even more bewildered at seeing her own name mentioned.

“Who are you?” Bai Rong asked.

“A man who loves you.” Manman cryptically responded.

Bai Rong could tell that he was determined to keep his identity a secret. He spoke almost childishly, trying to provoke her. This irked her and she could not contain her irritation. “I have many suitors. If you don’t tell me your name, then I’ll have no choice but to block you.”
