You Owe Me, My Love

“I’m already handling the paperwork here. As usual, it’ll be approved within three days. I’ll get in touch with some contacts to see if they can speed it up, and hopefully, it’ll be approved by tomorrow afternoon. I’ll call you once it’s done. If there aren’t any issues, I’ll probably be able to join you there tomorrow,” Gu Mingchen briefly described the situation.

Bai Rong grinned happily. She was excited just thinking about meeting him again tomorrow.

Clearly, they had only parted today, but she felt like it had already been an eternity.

Have you eaten?” Bai Rong expressed her concern.

“Yes. I’ve also made a call earlier. The director of Jadeborough’s police department will meet you at the front doors tomorrow. You’ll be taking full charge of this case.”

“Great. We’ll discuss the details after I’ve read the information tomorrow. I looked around the place today. There are surveillance cameras outside. If they’re still functioning, it won’t just make it easier to find the murderer, but we might come across some surprises too.”

“Yeah,” Gu Mingchen hummed a response. “There’s one minute left. Open the door.”

“What?” Bai Rong’s heart galloped in her chest. Could he be here?

She hopped off the bed excitedly, went to the door, and looked through the peephole but found no one there.

“Did you arrive today?” Bai Rong asked directly.

“No. I guessed that you probably hadn’t eaten yet. Jadeborough’s braised pork balls, sticky rice dumplings, and roast duck are quite good, so I ordered some from Restaurant Zhuangyuan for you. Remember not to skip your meals from now on,” Gu Mingchen said gently.

“That’s quick. When did you place the order?” Bai Rong was bewildered.

“After we talked on the phone earlier. I estimated that you’d head to the hotel first. Besides, braised pork balls and sticky rice dumplings are Restaurant Zhuangyuan’s signature dishes, so they always have them prepared in advance. The duck is half ready too, so it won’t take long before the food arrives at your place.” As soon as Gu Mingchen finished speaking, the room’s doorbell rang.

His chuckle drifted across the line, right into Bai Rong’s ear.

“I think the food’s here. Go on and have your meal. If you can’t sleep after eating, you’re welcome to call me.” Gu Mingchen’s voice was full of love and adoration.

Bai Rong’s heart warmed at that.

Seeing how thoughtful he was toward her, she couldn’t bring herself to keep him from sleeping because of her own issues.
