You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 291 Sparks Flew

Bai Rong’s heart wrenched at the sight of the gaping wound, but before she could react, the person beside him exclaimed frantically, “Chief, you’re bleeding!”

Gu Mingchen’s brows furrowed. “It’s just a small cut; no need for all this fuss,” he said stoically.

Bai Rong promptly stood up and took his hand. “Don’t overlook even the smallest wounds. If you don’t deal with them well, they can deteriorate and severely affect your health. As the leader of our country’s military, you of all people should take care of yourself better,” Bai Rong chastened as she carefully removed the shard.

A waiter brought over the hotel’s first aid kit.

Bai Rong focused on cleaning Gu Mingchen’s wound with her back bent.

Gu Mingchen’s eyes riveted on her.

The lights shone above Bai Rong, casting a golden sheen over her. With her head bowed, the strands of hair framing her face created shadows on her profile. She was a portrait of quiet beauty.

Memories of her dressing his wounds resurfaced in his mind.

The flashbacks showed Bai Rong in a white lab coat, wrapping a bandage around his arm.

If the accident never occurred and he did not lose his memories, they might have gotten together ages ago.

He curled his fingers around Bai Rong’s hand as she tended to his wound.

The heat of his touch scalded Bai Rong’s skin. Her fingers trembled uncontrollably when she felt the warmth radiating off his palm.

She lifted her eyes to meet Gu Mingchen’s gaze, her expression one of puzzlement.

“My subordinate can take over. There’s no need to trouble you with this,” he murmured, his voice so low that it seemed to rumble in his chest. His grip on Bai Rong loosened.

Bai Rong’s heart sank. He’s right. I’m doing a bit too much. It’s not my place to do this, considering our current relationship.

Straightening her back, she announced, “I’ll head to the restroom.”

“There’s one in this private room,” Lu Xingzhou told her as he beckoned to a waiter.
