You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 123

She tossed and turned the whole night, barely sleeping a wink.

Her mind kept bringing her back to three years ago.

She was dashing out of the room when someone forcefully pulled her back.

He was as strong as an ox and easily flipped her over, clamping a hand over her mouth and like a wild beast, pushed himself into her violently without any warning.

It vastly differed from Gu Mingchen’s gentle caresses that always made sure she was comfortable and made her want him even more.

He had infinite patience, a completely different species from that man of three years ago.

While she was being violated, she caught sight of Su Xuyan in a parked car not far off, entangled with that woman.

As the pain was too much for her to take, she passed out. When she awoke, she was still lying on the ground in the middle of nowhere and the perpetrator had already disappeared into the wind.

Gu Mingchen was a man with a strong sense of responsibility.

She refused to believe that he was the one that had violated her.

Could this all be part of Su Xuyan’s scheme?

At 8 a.m., Bai Rong lay in bed, resting after breakfast.

I am already in Jiangye City and am staying at the Jiangye Motel near the bus station. She texted Gu Mingchen.

Gu Mingchen’s call came in three hours later.

Bai Rong shot up, immediately picking up.

I will be there in half an hour. What is your room number? Gu Mingchen sounded drained.

Bai Rong’s heart ached.

The last thing she wanted to do was cause him trouble but this matter was of utmost importance to her.

She had to get her answers from him directly.

302. She replied.

Okay.

Sure enough, she heard someone knocking at her door exactly half an hour later.

When she opened the door, she saw Gu Mingchen standing there with a strained smile, looking disheveled and obviously exhausted.

“Did you just finish your work?” Bai Rong asked.

“Yes. There was a small issue yesterday but it is of no concern. What happened? It must have been important for you to make your way here overnight.” Gu Mingchen asked uneasily.

“Did you stay up all of last night?” Bai Rong asked slowly, slightly incredulous.

“It is fine. During past assignments, there were times where I stayed awake for weeks at a time. Have you eaten? If not, shall we grab a bite together and talk more then?” Gu Mingchen reached out to take her hand in his.

“Are you busy this afternoon?” Bai Rong asked.

“I have something on at 4 p.m. so you have me for the next five hours.” Gu Mingchen calmly replied.

“If I had not come, did you plan on driving back to see me, then returning after an hour again?” Bai Rong furrowed her brows. She already knew the answer.

“I would have engaged a driver and napped during the ride. I would have been able to be by your side the moment I awoke. Nothing sounds better.”

Bai Rong’s heart panged with happiness and trepidation.

There was no way that Gu Mingchen was that man from three years ago.

“Go and grab some sleep and I will order food delivery. Rest well and I will call you when the food arrives. A rested mind is a productive one.” She said as she clicked on the food delivery application on her phone.

Gu Mingchen turned to look at her and softly said, “Rong, I cannot tell you how happy I am that you came.”

Bai Rong paused and turned to face him.

“This way, I know that I’m not the only one who cares about this relationship.” Gu Mingchen smiled broadly.

Bai Rong’s heartbeat quickened and she clutched her phone even tighter than before as she faltered, wondering whether to ask him or not.

The nicer he was to her, the harder it was for her to pose the question.

“Come accompany me for a bit.” Gu Mingchen wrapped his arms around her and pulled her onto the bed, letting his eyelids fall.

Bai Rong lay in his embrace, resting her head on his shoulders.

She could feel the warmth from his body emanating out, penetrating her skin, being absorbed into her body.
