You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 431 Trust Me Or Her

“I checked the surveillance camera. Xin’s kidnapper was very careful. He wore a cap that hid his face, and the van they used had a fake car plate. They also used a route that did not have any surveillance cameras. We couldn’t track them,” said Gu Mingchen solemnly.

“Gu Mingchen, this is actually a no-brainer. You’re just blinded by your concern. If I kidnapped Xin, I wouldn’t hurt him. If Zhou Hailan was the one who kidnapped him, she wouldn’t hurt her son either. Thus, Xin is definitely safe,” analyzed Bai Rong out loud. She opened the pot and poured oil in.

Gu Mingchen remained silent.

Bai Rong dropped the fish into the pot. There was still water in it, which started to crackle and sent droplets of oil flying onto her hand.

Gu Mingchen put a lid over the pot and turned down the flame. He grabbed her hand and brought her over to the sink. “Are you angry because I didn’t trust you?” he asked as he held her hand under the water.

Bai Rong’s heart wrenched in regret when she saw how concerned and ashamed Gu Mingchen was.

He was right not to trust her because she did kidnap Xin. She knew that she was ruining his trust in her. But it doesn’t matter as long as he stays safe.

“A little,” answered Bai Rong. She was afraid that he would puzzle something out and quickly pulled her hand away to open the lid.

Gu Mingchen grabbed the spatula and blocked Bai Rong. “Be careful of the oil. Let me do it.”

Bai Rong stood off to a side and murmured, “Don’t worry. Xin will be fine.”

“Okay. How should I cook this fish?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“There’ll be chicken soup tonight. Just grill the fish. The oil won’t spurt out anymore. Let me do it.” Bai Rong picked up a bottle of cooking wine and poured it into the pot.

The content of the pot sizzled for a short while.
