You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Out From The Sea

“Huh?” Bai Rong was momentarily stunned by his words and was unable to react readily.

“I said, I have regained all the memories I’ve lost,” Gu Mingchen repeated more clearly as he observed the woman’s expression. “I know that you didn’t reveal my identity to those people. What happened was that I met an old enemy during my mission and he recognized me.”

Bai Rong stared blankly at Gu Mingchen as a myriad of thoughts ran through her mind.

She was both touched and hopeful, feeling that all her grievances had finally come to an end. However, at the same time, she also felt a sense of emptiness and gloominess.

That was what Bai Rong had been wishing for all along. She desperately wanted him to get his memories back and remember everything they had gone through together in the past, be it their sweet or sad moments, as well as those times when they worked hard together towards a common goal.

But what’s going to happen from now on?

Bai Rong turned around and faced her back towards the man while looking into the distance.

Just then, a gust of wind blew past her, making the woman shiver from the cold.

Gu Mingchen hugged her from behind and Bai Rong felt the warmth from his body instantly.

Her back stiffened at his touch, as if she was still on her guard.

“Rong, do you know how long this ship has traveled?” Gu Mingchen asked gently.

“What do you mean?” Bai Rong stared at the man in confusion and her heart fluttered when she met her gaze.

“I only found you after steering the ship for six hours. We are now in the middle of the ocean,” Gu Mingchen explained.

Bai Rong had already guessed that. If they were close to shore, Lu Xingzhou wouldn’t risk bombing them as the explosion would be too loud. It was only possible for him to attempt that in the middle of the ocean as no one would discover what he had done.

“Lu Xingzhou is indeed ruthless. But it seems like he has underestimated your will to live and ability to survive,” Bai Rong said with a bitter smile.

Gu Mingchen held her chin and lowered his head.

When he did that, Bai Rong instinctively took a step back.

Pain flashed across Gu Mingchen’s eyes as he said, “If we are unable to go back and are destined to die here, are you still not willing to open your heart to me?”

“I’m sure we will be able to return with your abilities. Your superior would certainly send a search and rescue team after noticing your disappearance for a few days right?” Bai Rong said uncertainly.

“When I knew that you were in trouble, I came out in a rush and Chen Bin sent my subordinates elsewhere. So even if they tried to find us, they wouldn’t know that we are in the middle of the ocean. Do you think it’s possible for them to come here?” Gu Mingchen threw the question back to the woman.

Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat as she tried to observe his expression to see if he was joking. But she could tell that he was serious.

“Are we really going to die here?” Bai Rong asked.

Gu Mingchen overlooked her and replied, “Maybe, maybe not. But I know that I don’t want to die with regrets. Rong, you still love me, don’t you?”

The woman did not want to continue resisting and denying her love for him anymore. It was too exhausting to push him away time and time again.

No one knew what would happen the next day. They could either die or be rescued. But at least, Bai Rong knew that she wanted to retain the inner peace which she was feeling at that moment.

“Is there any reason for me to not like you? You chopped off your pinkie finger to protest against marrying Su Wanning. And in order not to marry Zhou Hailan, you even lost the money for the house,” Bai Rong said as tears welled up in her eyes. Even though it sounded as if she was chastising Gu Mingchen, she was, in fact, very moved.

Seeing that the woman did not give him a negative reply, Gu Mingchen smiled and lowered his head. Then, he kissed her, deepening the kiss with each breath they took. Their bodies molded together and they did not separate for a long time.

When the sun started to rise, Bai Rong leaned into his arms and gazed at the sky.
