You Owe Me, My Love

Bai Rong knew he had misunderstood.

“I was talking about you and your fiancée.” She regretted the words the moment she spoke.

He would eventually have a child with his fiancée.

Was she going to forbid them from having children?

Gu Mingchen had a faraway look as he stared at her silently.

She could not bring herself to meet his gaze. The conversation had taken an awkward turn and she did not know how to dig herself out of this hole.

Gu Mingchen released her.

Bai Rong immediately stood up, putting two meters between them just in case.

Maybe it was because of her lack of lunch combined with vigorous activity, her stomach chose that moment to let out a loud gurgle.

Gu Mingchen understood immediately. “You haven’t eaten yet?”

Bai Rong could not deny this. “I left in a hurry and didn’t get the chance to.”

Gu Mingchen issued an order into his phone. “Go to the dining room and get the chef to prepare four dishes then send it over.”

Gu Mingchen looked towards Bai Rong. “Any specific order?”

Bai Rong was craving for something heavier on the palate. “Do they have Chopped Bell Pepper Fish Head, Mala Chicken or Duck’s Blood?”

Gu Mingchen’s eyebrows raised quizzically. “You like spicy food?”

Bai Rong shook her head. “Just craving for it now.”

“Ask them to prepare Chopped Bell Pepper Fish Head, Mala Chicken and Duck’s Blood.” He hung up after dispensing short instructions.

Bai Rong plopped down on the sofa to wait for the food to arrive.

Gu Mingchen did not speak either, turning back to this computer.

Bai Rong felt slightly bored and began to lazily scroll through her phone. The silence that enveloped them was tranquil and peaceful.

Gu Mingchen glanced at her and she appeared to be lost in thought.
