You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277 Reluctant To Leave

I have to go before I lose the will to.

“We’ll keep in touch.” Bai Rong’s terse reply demonstrated her resolution.

Gu Mingchen’s brows furrowed. He knew that she had made up her mind to go back and that there was nothing he could do to make her stay. Hence, he could only compromise. “I’ll send you back.”

Bai Rong did not reject him. After all, it was rather difficult to get a taxi here.

“I’m staying in Star Hotel near Winchester Street,” Bai Rong stated.

Gu Mingchen knew that this meant she had agreed. “Wait for me while I get changed.”

…

After both of them got dressed, Gu Mingchen drove her back.

Bai Rong leaned against the seat and looked out the window. Both of them didn’t speak during the entire ride.

After some time, Gu Mingchen slowed his car to the point that several people riding electric scooters turned back to give him the middle finger.

Bai Rong was the only one who could easily get a reaction out of him. Hence, he remained composed and did not even spare a glance at those people.

Bai Rong was so immersed in her thoughts that she only noticed that something amiss when a bicycle overtook them, shooting a quizzical glance at Gu Mingchen.

When he felt the weight of her gaze, he sped up a little and guiltily made up an excuse. “There’s a red light ahead.”

“Oh,” Bai Rong replied curtly.

“When are you going to the military base?” Gu Mingchen asked.

Bai Rong’s eyes sank. She had promised to help him do the test, but had delayed it until now.

She was afraid that going to Gu Mingchen’s military base would anger Su Xuyan.

“I still have to think about this,” Bai Rong gave an ambiguous answer.

Gu Mingchen flicked his eyes toward Bai Rong before pulling up the car by the roadside.

Bai Rong looked at him with perplexity. “What’s wrong?”

Gu Mingchen grabbed her chin and went in for a kiss.

She didn’t push him away, nor did she return his kiss. All she did was look at him, almost becoming cross-eyed from the proximity. When she retreated backward, he didn’t follow. Instead, he gazed at her intently.

Afraid that Gu Mingchen’s gaze would pull her in and cause her to drown in its depth, she turned her head away and feigned indifference to conceal her chaotic emotions.

“I’ll just get down here. I need to go somewhere else first anyway.”

She opened the door, but Gu Mingchen grabbed her arm.

Drawing in a long breath and keeping her emotions in check, Bai Rong looked back at him.

“Let’s meet every day,” Gu Mingchen uttered in a deep voice.

This wasn’t a question, but a statement.

Bai Rong let out a mirthless laugh. For some reason, what he said made her heart ache and her eyes sting with tears. She hid her true emotions behind her smile and refuted, “Even married couples don’t meet every day. There will be business trips and work every so often that prevent couples from meeting. And my job requires me to travel often.”

“Four times a week. Nothing less,” Gu Mingchen said domineeringly, leaving no room for objection.

If he’d used rescuing Liu Yan to threaten me, I would’ve had no choice but to meet him every day. Then, I’d just get more stressed, agonized and frustrated.

But he didn’t use that to threaten me.

She was grateful that even then, he still respected and protected her feelings, not using her own words against her.
