You Owe Me, My Love

Bai Rong was surprised to see him. I thought he left this morning. Didn’t he say I could take the week off? He even tossed my handbag out. Why is he showing up here now?

“You seem to have a lot of free time on your hands, Chief,” Bai Rong mocked. Her gaze pierced him, and every word she said was meant to hurt.

Gu Mingchen stared back at her, his gaze quiet. Bai Rong felt bored, for her flames of fury weren’t reciprocated. Instead, it fizzled out when it met Gu Mingchen’s calm demeanor. Thus, she kept her silence too.

They looked at each other, there was oddity in the air.

“Are you still mad?” Gu Mingchen asked in a gentle tone. He was infuriated when he left, but he didn’t go back to the base. When he traced her location, he could see that she went to the hotel and the rehab center. But the moment he saw that she went to the café, he couldn’t sit still anymore. Even though they were fighting, but he still came to the café and waited for her.

Bai Rong stared down, composing herself in the moment of silence. Being angry won’t solve anything. It’ll only poison me and I don’t need that. ”You came just in time. I just got a case that will need me to be away for three months,” Bai Rong cut to the chase.

Gu Mingchen frowned, his chest heaved as his breathing turned heavier. “You think I’ll agree to that?”

“I can get Mu Xiaosheng to send someone if you urgently need help at the base. It won’t hinder your work.”

Gu Mingchen glowered at her. “I have specifically asked for you,” he growled.
