You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 231

Bai Rong was speechless for a moment.

“I don’t know him that well. Let’s get back to the topic, shall we? His ex-girlfriend’s father is a geologist and knows Lu Xingzhou. Now, Xingzheng Construction is trying to get that piece of land from their company. I suspect the land is where Tangqian Village’s map indicated,” explained Bai Rong briefly.

“His ex-girlfriend? Does that means he’s single now?” uttered Gu Mingchen icily.

Bai Rong exhaled. “I think he has a girlfriend. I’m not that close to him. Besides, I’m married to a soldier. Why are you overthinking things?”

“I’m glad you know that. I’ll keep an eye on that piece of land. We can requisition it so no one will get it,” Gu Mingchen said without hesitation.

Bai Rong was delighted at his decisiveness. Chuckling, she added, “I’m going back to the military base now. Tomorrow, I’ll be going to Jadeborough. Lu Xingzhou’s hometown is there. I’m going to be his son’s tutor from Monday to Friday. We can only meet during weekends.”

“Mm, good. I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave you there for three months.”

Bai Rong was confused. Huh? He said it isn’t a good idea to leave me there alone for three months. So why is it good, then?

“Huh?” she grunted.

Gu Mingchen replied calmly, “I’ll come along with you.”

Bai Rong’s heart started pounding furiously.

She was indeed worried about going to Jadeborough for three months.

Gu Mingchen might be on the military base, but Zhou Hailan was in A City. She was also a smooth-talker and had access to the military base. Bai Rong was worried.

She wasn’t that magnanimous enough to leave her husband together with his first love.

After hearing Gu Mingchen’s words, her heart soared with joy.

“What about your work? Can you leave?” asked Bai Rong in concern.

“You said that piece of land has a treasure hidden in it, right? I will station my troops there to protect it. Spending three months there is normal for a business trip,” explained Gu Mingchen to ease her worry.

Bai Rong was touched. Should I tell him about Zhou Hailan’s request?

After pondering for a while, she decided not to. I should wait and see how things go.

“Okay, that’s all, then. We’ll talk once I’m back in the base.” Immediately after Bai Rong hung up, her phone rang.

Seeing that it was a call from Su Xuyan, she hesitated for a while before answering it.

“Where are you? Let’s meet up for lunch today,” said Su Xuyan jovially.

“Su Xuyan, I need to tell you something. Gu Mingchen and I are still legally married. As he’s a soldier, it’s terribly hard to get a divorce. If you really like me, please forget about me. I don’t want to add on to the existing troubles. Life is hard enough for me as it is.” Bai Rong went straight to the point.

After a brief silence, Su Xuyan chuckled. “What if I tell you I’ve found your child that you bore with Gu Mingchen?”

“Really?” Bai Rong was in disbelief.

Su Xuyan declared, “It’s easy to run a DNA test nowadays. I won’t lie to you. You can only choose between Gu Mingchen and your son. I’ll be waiting at our house. One hour later, if you don’t show up, I’ll disappear from your life. The same goes for your son.” He hung up right after saying that.

Bai Rong stared ahead blankly with her hand hanging mid-air.
