You Owe Me, My Love

Bai Rong’s heart trembled in her chest.

So does that mean he’d still choose me even if Zhou Hailan came looking for him with their child?

But it makes no difference now since I’m the one who’s giving up this time.

Even if we’re not together anymore, he’ll still be the man I love most; the man I’ll love forever.

“Gu Mingchen, why do you even like me? Didn’t you say that I’m not your type?” Bai Rong queried with a smile.

“You kept pushing me away before, so I said that on purpose. To be honest, you fit my preferences perfectly,” Gu Mingchen replied in a deep voice. As he wasn’t good at sweet-talking, his cheeks were slightly flushed with embarrassment.

“Well, I’m a rather mean person, and I don’t like sugar-coating my words or flattering people either.” Bai Rong humbled herself.

“People who sugar-coat words often have ulterior motives. Even if that’s not it, using flattery on everyone is just desperate. I always keep my guard up against those kinds of people. I think what you said makes sense. Plus, I’ve seen some really mean people, and you’re not it,” Gu Mingchen explained.

Bai Rong giggled. “I also have a bad temper.”

“The only even-tempered people are those who work in customer service. I have a bad temper too. Naturally, I don’t expect others to be any better.”

“I don’t have a nice figure either.”

Gu Mingchen took a sip of his drink. “That’s right… you’re too skinny.”

Bai Rong was speechless.

Isn’t he being a little too candid?

But I like his candor because it shows that I can believe whatever he says. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

“Then, I’ll make sure to eat more. Otherwise, you might get bored of me soon,” Bai Rong joked.

“Those aren’t the things I look for in a woman. Physical appearances can change, no matter if you’re thin, fat, ugly, or pretty. What I value is chemistry, and I think the two of us have that,” Gu Mingchen said, gazing at her with bright eyes.

His words were practically music to her ears.
