“I really need to bathe now. There’s no time left.” Urged Bai Rong.
“Okay.” He got up and carried her to the bathroom.
Bai Rong used the bathtub while he used the shower.
Not daring to look at him, Bai Rong kept her gaze fixated on the water in the bathtub. However, her mind kept wandering to his earlier words.
“I think it’s good to stay with you this way forever. Anyway, I’m not interested in other women.”
“Bai Rong, you’re too discreet. If you have any requirements, just tell me. You’re the only woman I’ve touched so I don’t really know what women like. If I did anything wrong, I’ll change!”
“Not just her, I also know everything you did overseas during the past three years.”
“I have already called off my engagement with Su Wanning. I’m single now.”
Every single word of his captivated her completely.
It was impossible to say that she was not flustered.
She could no longer lie to herself. She was falling in love.
“Gu Mingchen, do you like me?” Bai Rong asked directly as she stared at the man.
He was mysterious as usual and his expression did not betray any unusual emotions. “Do you believe in what I say, or what you see?”
Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat and a chilling sensation invaded her body.
She remembered that she asked the same question to Gu Mingchen three years ago, when he had not lost his memory yet.
He said that he would show it through his actions instead of his words.
Back then, she was immensely touched.
She believed Gu Mingchen was not a smooth talker and that he would prove what true love was with his actions.
Only after he lost his memories that she realized Gu Mingchen avoided her question because he was in love with Zhou Hailan. He could not tell her that he was only nice to her out of guilt and responsibility.
The man was still the same.
Bai Rong laughed and plastered an alluring smile on her face as she stood up from the bathtub. She grabbed the towel calmly and wrapped it around her body. “I believe what I feel with my heart.”
She brushed past him, left the bathroom and took a change of clothes from her luggage.
The confusion and passion in her eyes had already disappeared, leaving only coldness behind.
When Gu Mingchen came out from the bathroom, Bai Rong had already set off to the police station.
Upon her arrival, she was surprised to see that Leng Qiuzun was there too. “I thought you left.”
“I don’t like to give up halfway. Although I won’t be handling the case directly, it’s still good for me to observe the case and know its outcome.” Leng Qiuzun explained.
Bai Rong smiled.
Although the detective had a sharp tongue, was arrogant and discourteous, he was still quite dedicated to his job.
“I shall go in first.”
“Bai Rong.”Leng Qiuzun called out.
