You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 168

Bai Rong knew that she must be careful whenever she talked to Gu Mingchen. He could sense that something was wrong if she made a single mistake or logical fallacy.

Looking at Gu Mingchen from the sides of her eyes, she said, “How can we have a child in that position? We haven’t had sex that many times, anyway.”

Gu Mingchen did not say anything.

He could feel a tinge of grudge in her tone.

Could it be that he failed to satisfy her in the past?

This knowledge made Gu Mingchen extremely uncomfortable.

Bai Rong returned to her compartment.

Leng Qiuzun sized Bai Rong up with his penetrative and sharp gaze, as if he was seeing right through her. A chill ran down Bai Rong’s spine.

She merely glanced at Leng Qiuyan and pretended not to notice him, before returning to her original seat.

“Where did you go?” Asked Leng Qiuzun with a cold tone, as if he was interrogating her.

“I don’t have to report my whereabouts to you, right?” Asked Bai Rong warily.

“I’m your team leader now and I have to ensure your safety. You left for six hours and that’s too long to simply chat with someone else, right?” Asked Leng Qiuhan with a frown.

“I’m not a child. Plus, we’re on a train. Where can I go?” Bai Rong did not want to answer him.

“So I’m even more curious. What would require six hours to do on the train?” Leng Qiuhan wanted to get to the bottom of this.

“My good friend is here too, so I went over.” Bai Rong replied ambiguously.

“Which friend?” Leng Qiuhan asked demandingly.

Bai Rong frowned. “Although you’re my team leader for this case, you have no right to interfere with my freedom to make friends. Mr. Leng, you’re thinking too highly of yourself.”

Leng Qiuzun gritted his teeth and he turned his livid face away, pursing his lips tightly.

His assistant had a worried expression.

Mr. Leng was definitely furious.

“Ms. Bai, Mr. Leng is just concerned about you. When you were gone, he checked his phone many times just to make sure that you were safe.” The assistant told Bai Rong.

Bai Rong also realized that her tone was quite unpleasant. After all, she was guilty and was trying to conceal it with her sharp words and domineering attitude.

“Mr. Leng, I’m sorry.” Bai Rong took the initiative to apologize.

Leng Qiuzun continued ignoring her and stayed motionless like a statue.

Bai Rong glanced at him.

Since she had already apologized to him, it was up to him if he wanted to forgive her.

An alert for a message sounded on her phone.

She saw that it was from Gu Mingchen and opened it.

“If your colleague asked you where you went, just say that you were summoned by me to discuss the case. It’s alright to do that.”

Bai Rong kept her phone into her bag.

She had already said that she was meeting a friend. It would be too contradictory for her to suddenly change her words.

Anyway, it was a small matter.

Leng Qiuzun adjusted his emotions, looked at Bai Rong and asked, “Do you dare to sleep at the castle tonight?”

Bai Rong looked at Leng Qiuzun in surprise.

The castle already had a mysterious and murderous aura.

People would find it terrifying to go there during the day. To sleep there at night… These people were really too brave.

Leng Qiuhan smirked condescendingly. “You don’t? I heard that you were a doctor. You won’t believe that nonsense about ghosts and spirits, right?”

“I just think that it’ll be more comfortable sleeping in a hotel.” Explained Bai Rong.

Leng Qiuzan’s face darkened further.

“You’re here to work on the case, not to feel comfortable. I’m sorry but I need to settle this case within three days. There’s no time to waste. If you want to go to the hotel, go there yourself. To be honest, I don’t think you’d be of much help either.” Said Leng Qiuzun meanly.

Bai Rong did not know how to rebuke him. It seemed like if she did not stay with them in the castle, she would have committed a heinous crime.

“I understand.” Replied Bai Rong.

Leng Qiuzun turned his head around and said coldly, “Useless trash.”

Bai Rong was furious.
