You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 115

After confirming that the woman in the tub was indeed Bai Rong, Gu Mingchen’s eyes clouded with deep yearning as the mist from the bath blurred his features.

How long had it been since he last saw her?

It had been 65 days.

So many days had passed without her. They had first met in summer, but who would’ve thought that their next meeting would be in the middle of autumn.

“How have you been?” Gu Mingchen’s hoarse voice squeezed through his tight throat.

Bai Rong unconsciously glanced at his broken pinky and her eyes moistened further.

She couldn’t hide the waves of emotions in front of him, hence she turned away from the man and replied coldly, “I don’t think this is the right time to reminisce about the old days. Don’t fall into the trap of others.”

“I’m already inside the trap. There’s no escaping now.” Gu Mingchen sat beside the tub, his gaze lingering on the girl with no intention to leave. “You’re skinnier now.”

“I thought skinny beauty is the trend now?”

“I think you look better with more flesh.” Gu Mingchen replied.

Bai Rong lowered her head in embarrassment. Chatting while being naked with him was extremely awkward for her.

For their current relationship, they were not even supposed to chat with each other, let alone doing so while being naked.

“I’m coming out.” Bai Rong replied, her eyes flickered around embarrassingly.

“I’ll wait outside.” Gu Mingchen turned to leave.

As he left, the girl could smell the strong odor of liquor on him.

She had thought that she would be the only occupant of this room, hence she did not bring in her new clothes after removing her worn ones outside the bathroom.

The girl stood up to reach for the towel when Gu Mingchen entered the bathroom once again with her luggage. His deep-set eyes lingered broodingly at the embarrassing view.

The poor girl froze mid motion at his sudden intrusion.

Gu Mingchen was the first one to regain his composure and averted his eyes.

Despite being taken aback by the embarrassing encounter, Bai Rong did not lose her calmness and did not cry out in shock.

After all, this man had already seen everything of her.

Bai Rong swiftly covered herself with a towel.

With his eyes still away from her, Gu Mingchen spoke while placing her luggage inside the bathroom. “I realized you did not take your clothes in with you. Sorry for the intrusion.”

“Mmm.” Bai Rong hummed in reply while Gu Mingchen closed the door for her.

By the time she was out, Gu Mingchen was standing beside the large window. The window portrayed his handsome reflection and his raw feelings of sorrow within his eyes.

At the same time, the man saw her through the reflection on the window. However, by the time he turned around, the raw sadness previously shown in his eyes were now well hidden.

“I just called the reception. Turned out that this room was booked by the prosecutor’s office but was not registered. It so happened that the receptionist was changed to someone else who didn’t know about that arrangement, so they’re changing me to room 1827, which is just beside yours.” Gu Mingchen explained.

“Ok.” Bai Rong lowered her eyelids, looking like a quiet and distant goddess.

The man’s dark eyes continued to stare at her, his Adam’s apple moving as he gulped bitterly. “How on earth did you end up as a prosecutor? Did something happen to you when you were a doctor?”

Bai Rong lifted her head and landed her eyes on his dashing face before replying philosophically, “I just need a change. A change from my work, a change from my mood, a change for a new environment and a change for a different life.”

“Did Xing Bachuan treat you well?” Gu Mingchen asked worriedly. He had so much to say to her, but now all of them were stuck in his throat.

“Yea, he’s nice to me. It’s all thanks to him that I got to be a prosecutor and dispatched here for work while enjoying the luxurious stay and boot-licking of others.” Bai Rong clarified shortly, her lips curling slightly upwards.

She just didn’t want him to be worried for her.

“Are you here to investigate Lu Liangcheng?” Gu Mingchen asked straightforwardly.

“Yes.” Bai Rong admitted directly. “I think he was one of the murderers behind the genocide.”

“Do you know why you get to stay in such a luxurious room?”

“They’re trying to frame me. I know that I’ve landed myself in a rather difficult situation.” Bai Rong guessed. The woman proceeded to pour a cup of water. She then noticed some honey on the table and added some into the drink before passing to Gu Mingchen.
