Bai Rong ate with a heavy heart, sneaking glances at Gu Mingchen once in a while.
He ate his meal slowly and politely. When he side-eyed Bai Rong, his gaze met hers.
Slightly guilty to have been discovered, Bai Rong flickered her glistening eyes away.
He picked up a piece of pork ribs and placed it into her bowl.
“Eat up, you’re too skinny. You’re gonna have a hard time giving birth to a baby.” Gu Mingchen said in a serious tone.
Bai Rong blushed.
Giving birth to a baby?
What is he thinking about?
Liu Yan glanced at Gu Mingchen suspiciously, moved her gaze to her friend, then back to the man again.
He was still looking at Bai Rong as if she was his entire world.
Did they get back together even after he had lost his memory due to love?
“Chief, do you like Rong?” Liu Yan asked straightforwardly.
Bai Rong was unnerved as she gripped her chopsticks and lowered her head, pretending to be nonchalant about his answer.
Just when she thought that he would not answer, he replied, “Yes.”
Bai Rong’s hand was trembling.
Liu Yan held onto Bai Rong’s hand and looked at Gu Mingchen. “What if your parents oppose it? Your family is privileged, while Bai Rong has nothing.”
“With my current status, no one can restrict my freedom to marrying anyone.” Gu Mingchen promised.
Liu Yan laughed and looked at Bai Rong.
However, she discovered that her friend’s expression was gloomy, without any hint of happiness.
“Then, when do you intend to marry Bai Rong? Although you have lost your memory, she hasn’t. Both of you had dated in the past, so you should take responsibility for Rong.” Liu Yan pressed on.
“Yan.” Bai Rong interrupted. “I don’t need anyone to take responsibility for me.”
When Liu Yan noticed that Bai Rong got angry, she immediately shut up.
“I’ll take responsibility.” Gu Mingchen promised Bai Rong.
The latter smiled. However, her smile was superficial and there was a hint of mysteriousness in her eyes that he could not discern. “Does Chief Gu think that I can’t survive on my own, or that I can’t find a boyfriend? Without you taking responsibility for me, I can lead a great life and find a man who likes me. You should only take responsibility for weaklings and I’m not one.”
Gu Mingchen’s gaze darkened and his tone became unhappy. “Who do you want to find?”
Upon seeing how Gu Mingchen was about to get angry, Liu Yan explained hurriedly, “Bai Rong’s not trying to find someone else. She meant that even if you don’t want her, she can still find herself a boyfriend.”
“Did I say that I don’t want you?” Gu Mingchen stared at Bai Rong fixedly.
“I don’t need you.” Replied Bai Rong.
“You just don’t want me, right?” Gu Mingchen slammed his chopsticks down and strode out of Liu Yan’s house briskly.
Liu Yan looked at the angry man then at Bai Rong. She said anxiously, “What are you doing? Wasn’t the atmosphere nice earlier? Although Gu Mingchen is mean and tough, he is a man of his word. If he says that he will be responsible for you, he definitely will. Rong, I think that you are at fault here.”
“Yan, I know what I’m doing.” Said Bai Rong rationally.
“If you do this, you’ll push him far away.” Liu Yan rushed to the window anxiously and saw Gu Mingchen smoking under the streetlamps. “Rong, he hasn’t left yet. You can still make it in time if you chase after him now.”
“If someone can be pushed away easily, do you think that relationship can last? Never mind, I’ll wash the dishes.” Bai Rong carried the bowls to the sink.
Her phone rang.
