You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 155

Bai Rong finally understood.

Gu Mingchen wanted her to be his woman not because he loved, or even liked her. Instead, it was for him to find out about his past.

He was sounding her out, observing and assessing her.

She could feel her heart aching badly.

His parents hid the past from him because they did not want their son to get involved with her again and destroy his own future.

As for her, she did not want to reveal the past to him as she did not want to become the obstacle to his success.

In the name of protection, they had led Gu Mingchen to become an unfeeling, stony-hearted person.

“I am not showering.” Bai Rong insisted and turned to face the side, feeling frustrated.

The man pulled her into his arms and said, “Then I will help you.”

Bai Rong tried to wriggle out of his grip, but it was as though his arm was made of steel, she failed to do so.

The hot air that Gu Mingchen was exhaling fell onto her cold face.

As she was unable to escape, Bai Rong gave up struggling. She heaved out a sigh and relented. “I will shower myself.”

“You can choose any room you like and you will be staying here from now on. I will come by when I have time. I am usually very busy and only have one or two days free a month. You are free to do anything you want for the rest of the time.” The man said in a deep voice as he looked at her with his blazing eyes, as though he was acceding to her previous request.

Bai Rong did a quick mental calculation. If he was only free one to two days a month, she would at most see him for twenty-four days in a year. It did not seem too unbearable.

“I have already told you everything I knew about you. We haven’t known each other for long. This is something you can easily verify. From the day of that operation to save the pregnant woman till the day of your accident, it was at most half a year. Besides, we have already broken up before that.” She explained.

“I will investigate to confirm if what you said is true.” Gu Mingchen did not believe her.

“Within this one year, don’t tell anyone about our arrangement. If we see each other outside, we have to pretend that we don’t know each other, is that ok?” Bai Rong made a request.

Gu Mingchen looked at her sharply.

Countless women wanted to be associated with him. Why was she so afraid of it?

“OK.” Gu Mingchen replied in a low voice.

“Anything forced will not last. Let’s really part ways one year later.” Bai Rong frowned and downcast her eyes. Her long lashes covered the windows to her soul, concealing her complicated emotions.

“Go and shower.” He let go of the woman and did not answer her question directly.

He turned around so that Bai Rong would not have the chance to continue asking him. The man entered the first room.

Bai Rong carried her luggage and opened the door of the second room.

The room was empty, but it had been thoroughly cleaned.

There was also a bathroom attached to the room.

She was very satisfied with the room and walked in.

But she did not want to stay here for long as it gave her the feeling that she was his mistress.

She did not want their relationship to start on unequal footing. Bai Rong needed to protect her dignity.

Even though staying by his side was her only option.

As the outfit she wore was freshly changed in the morning and was clean, she only took fresh underwear with her into the bathroom.

Warm water streamed down her head and washed off her thick makeup. Bai Rong kept her eyes closed.

She stayed in the shower for quite some time. After drying her hair and putting on her clothes, she opened the door.

Gu Mingchen was sitting on the sofa, reading news on his phone. He looked cool and was expressionless. It was impossible to read his thoughts.

However, he was no longer wearing the suit he wore when he first came in. Instead, he had changed into a white shower robe. It made him look less rigid and reserved. Bai Rong found him exuding the charm of a mature man.

The man felt Bai Rong’s gaze and took a glance at her with his bright eyes that were still cold and unfathomable. “Did you put on make-up when we knew each other last time?”

“No.” She answered flatly.

“You look better without makeup. If you used to put on makeup, I don’t think I would have fallen for you.” Gu Mingchen said nonchalantly.
