You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 174

“Why are you here?” Bai Rong asked in confusion as she dried her hair with a towel.

Gu Mingchen stood up and took the towel over to help dry her hair for her, “Didn’t I tell you to text me? Did you ignore what I said?”

Bai Rong could tell from his tone that he was unhappy.

She didn’t text him because she wanted to get a good night’s rest, but he had found her anyway.

It would probably be a bad idea to tell him that she didn’t want to text him, so she lied, “I was going to text you after I showered, as there was a really bad smell on me.”

Bai Rong then nodded at the bathroom, “Do you want to take a shower too?”

Gu Mingchen tossed the towel on the chair as he stared at her.

Bai Rong pursed her lips and stopped talking as she was afraid of saying something wrong.

“I’ll trust you for the time being.” Gu Mingchen walked towards the bathroom.

Bai Rong watched in surprise as she had only invited him for a shower out of courtesy, but he had actually taken up on her offer.

He wouldn’t actually spend the night in this room, would he?

If Leng Qiuzun found out about it, what she said in the car earlier would just make her a joke.

She walked over to the bathroom door and asked, “Are you staying in this hotel too? Is your luggage here?”

Gu Mingchen opened the bathroom door suddenly, and she jumped in shock.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’ll be spending the night here. My luggage is in the car and my men will have it sent over later. Anything else you want to ask?” Gu Mingchen said proudly.

“Isn’t it inappropriate for you to stay here? It’d be bad if people were to find out, you see. Besides, you’ve got a fiancée.” Bai Rong tried persuading him.

Gu Mingchen stared into her eyes, “I’ve been engaged to Su Wanning for more than three years. Do you really think I would marry her?”

Bai Rong was stunned for a moment as she looked at him, but he shut the door in her face before she could say anything.

Bai Rong stood at the door and looked down at the ground as she felt an uncomfortable bitterness in her heart.

She recalled how she had thought that Gu Mingchen really loved her and was ready to forgive him for the damage he caused her by raping her six years ago.

But when she heard him say that he loved Hailan after losing his memories, she felt that all her perseverance, persistence, hard work, and love were all crushed.

The one whom Gu Mingchen loved the most was Zhou Hailan, not her.

That pain was worse than the one Su Xuyan had caused her and it hurt so much that she had lost the courage to live.

Gu Mingchen was a mysterious person whose heart she could not enter even with her three years of study in psychology.

She didn’t want to repeat the process of feeling lonely in life and lonely in the face of death again.

She had loved him and would wish the best for him even if he didn’t love her back.

Bai Rong took her luggage out of the room and requested for another room at the front desk. This time, she made sure to lock the room door.

When Gu Mingchen came out of the shower and saw that she was gone, he called her, “Where are you?”

“I’m in the room across from yours. I’m going to sleep now. Good night, Chief.” Bai Rong said coldly and hung up.

She then took a sleeping pill and fell asleep soon after.

She had been sleeping for quite a long time as it was already 9:30 a.m. when she woke up and saw a few missed calls on her phone.

There was one from Leng Qiuzun, one from Gu Mingchen and one from an unknown number.

After going through her morning routine in the shower, she grabbed her phone and walked over to the window.

She pulled the curtains open and enjoyed the beautiful view outside. The weather was great and the sunlight felt warm on her skin.
