Bai Rong had just arrived at the entrance of the military base when a familiar looking Land Rover pulled over next to her.
The tinted car window was rolled down.
Gu Mingchen looked at her sternly and gestured, “Get in.”
That was an intolerable command.
Bai Rong opened the door and climbed into the front seat.
He remained silent as he leaned on the car door, and the atmosphere was very tense.
“How should I transfer the money to you?” Bai Rong asked in uneasiness.
He did not look at her directly and his gaze was cold, “I don’t take bribes.”
“This isn’t a bribe. It’s for the cosmetics.” Bai Rong explained.
“If you don’t like them, just throw them away.” The man said coldly. It didn’t sound like he was joking.
Bai Rong found his behavior strange and didn’t like his tyrannical attitude, “You’re putting me in a tough spot here. That would mean that I accepted your things for free, which is inappropriate since there’s nothing between us.”
Gu Mingchen looked at her and asked, “You want something between us?”
Bai Rong was speechless.
She detected signs of flirting in his reply and that made her even more uncomfortable, “I’m married.”
“You think I don’t know that?” Gu Mingchen looked forward as he continued to drive.
Bai Rong couldn’t ascertain what the man was thinking, so she looked out the window in frustration.
“Do me a favor.” Gu Mingchen said in a deep voice.
That was a declarative sentence.
Bai Rong kept quiet and pursed her lips.
“Aren’t you going to ask what it is?” Gu Mingchen said.
“Since you’re asking me for help, it must be something I am capable of. Although I don’t remember what happened that night, I assume you must have helped me out. Naturally, I should help out in any way I can as well.” Bai Rong said readily.
It was a very formal reply, and that distant them.
“Be my girlfriend.” Gu Mingchen said.
Bai Rong was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.
“Pretend as my girlfriend.” Gu Mingchen added and looked at her, “To attend a gathering.”
“I’m married, so I don’t think it’s suitable for me to pretend as your girlfriend.” Bai Rong reminded him.
Gu Mingchen’s lips twitched slightly, “It’s precisely because you’re married that I don’t need to worry about you falling for me. Isn’t that right?”
Bai Rong paused as she thought what he said made sense.
He wouldn’t fall for a married woman. Otherwise, on that night, they would’ve already…
Bai Rong cleared her throat.
What was she thinking?!
Just then, her phone rang. it was Liu Yan.
“How’s your date with that soldier?” Liu Yan asked gleefully.
There was some technical issue on Bai Rong’s phone. Afraid that Gu Mingchen would overhear their conversation, she answered awkwardly in a soft voice, “What date? Don’t talk nonsense!”
“He’d definitely show you a good time! Hahaha!” Liu Yan laughed.
“I’ll hang up if you don’t stop this crap!” She was a little irritated.
“I’m just joking! I have a present for you later, so have fun!” Liu Yan hung up before Bai Rong could.
The car fell silent.
Bai Rong licked her lips, and looked at Gu Mingchen who was still maintaining the same position.
