You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 147

She felt that she would come across as doubting his character if she insisted, which might anger him further, so she decided to look out the window in silence instead.

She felt uneasy out of her fear of the unknown as well as how everything was out of her expectations.

Her phone rang and she answered as soon as she saw that it was Liu Yan.

“Rong, where are you now? I’ve snuck out of work! I’ll come pick you up since the rain is so heavy.” Liu Yan said triumphantly.

Bai Rong felt like she had received timely support and said, “Head over to Sky Resort now. I’ll be waiting for you there. Call me when you arrive.”

“Alright, see you later! Love you!” Liu Yan hung up energetically and Bai Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Mingchen remained expressionless as he said to Lieutenant Song, “Such heavy rain makes it a suitable condition to train the willpower of our soldiers. Arrange for an emergency training in ten minutes. Also, have all the medical staff on standby in the office for the safety of our troops.”

Bai Rong was speechless as she felt that Gu Mingchen was doing it on purpose.

Is his hearing that sharp that he overheard their conversation?

Seemed like he knew about her relationship with Liu Yan and she didn’t want to get her friend in trouble.

“Don’t conduct the emergency training, it’s too dangerous.” Bai Rong protested softly.

Gu Mingchen looked at Bai Rong, “Cultivating the ability to resist danger today is to prepare them to survive the dangers they come across in the future. Does Ms. Bai have any complaints about the way we do things in the military?”

Bai Rong was at a loss for words as she was shocked at how heartless and cruel Gu Mingchen had become.

She looked out the window angrily.

Soon after, Liu Yan called, “Damn it! That crazy chief is having the soldiers carry out an emergency training in such bad weather conditions and I have to be there as well! How inhumane can this guy be?! Thankfully you didn’t get together with him…”

Bai Rong felt nervous as she didn’t want Gu Mingchen to know about their past and interrupted her, “Yan, there’s no rush! Take your time, I’m not planning on leaving anymore after coming back, so we can meet up anytime!”

“I guess that’ll have to do for now. You have no idea how strict Gu Mingchen is! I don’t even dare to talk loudly at the military base because of him! Alright, I’ll talk to you later.” Liu Yan said and hung up helplessly.

Before Bai Rong put her phone away, Gu Mingchen turned around and placed his arm next to her as he stared at her, “What did she mean by that just now?”

She could feel his breath on her face with every word he said and tried to calm herself down.

Gu Mingchen had heard it, so denying it would just come across as covering up.

She smiled slightly, “Literally what it says.”

“Have we…” Gu Mingchen continued to stare at her as he slowly said, “Slept before?”

Bai Rong didn’t expect him to be so direct, so she turned away to avoid eye contact.

Gu Mingchen understood and said calmly, “So we have slept before.”

Bai Rong didn’t know how to respond and just closed her eyes as she took a deep breath.

She had learnt from her studies of psychology that one mustn’t lie out of guilt when the mind was unable to think clearly, as a single lie often led to an endless amount of lies to cover up the first lie.

Bai Rong looked at Gu Mingchen, “There was nothing worth remembering about the chief’s techniques and performance.”

Gu Mingchen frowned and lifted her chin, “What did you say?”

“Isn’t it interesting how she said it was great that I didn’t get together with you? Of course, if that made you angry, then maybe I should say that your techniques and performance were amazing and stunning instead, Chief.”

Gu Mingchen frowned deeper as he felt uncomfortable with her smile. He let go of her chin and sat up straight as he looked in front.
