You Owe Me, My Love

What she said warmed his heart considerably. We may very well run into many hurdles down the road, but we’ll walk through it all, hand in hand.

After all, marriage was only the beginning of a new life, not the end.

After eating, Gu Mingchen drove her to the train station. He greeted the ticket master and bought her a first-class seat in the earliest train to Jadeborough.

Before walking to the platform, Bai Rong found herself reluctant to leave and turned around to look at him.

The corners of Gu Mingchen’s lips turned up slightly. Even though he wasn’t in the military base, he remained poised and calm as he looked at Bai Rong, giving her a sense of security.

No matter how reluctant she was to part with him, she had to.

Bai Rong made her way to the platform. Just a while after boarding the train, her phone pinged with a message.

She tapped it open and saw that it was a message from Gu Mingchen: I’ve booked the presidential suite room 2106 in Jadeborough Hotel for you. I’ll be staying in room 2108 tomorrow, which is right next to yours. I’ve booked the entire 21st floor and surveillance will be reorganized today. If you can’t sleep tonight, I’ll be here. Don’t take sleeping pills.

As Bai Rong read his message, her eyes stung with tears.

Even though it was only a message, she could imagine him saying those words to her in his steady and gentle voice.

He had always been a man of action.

Bai Rong texted back: Okay, I won’t take any sleeping pills. Be careful on your way back. Contact me once you’re free.

When the train jerked into motion, she turned to peer out the window.

A trace of warmth made its way into her frozen heart, and she was no longer as sorrowful as before. Slowly but surely, she found joy and meaning in life.

She made an overseas call to her senior, and it was answered after a few rings.

“Hey, this is Bai Rong. There’s something I need your opinion on. You see, a friend of mine suffered a head injury and lost his memories due to an explosion three years ago. Can his condition be treated with hypnosis?” Bai Rong asked earnestly.
