That frightened Bai Rong.
Force. That single word was her nightmare.
She recalled that night when that man entered her again and again. It was like a forceful attack, and finally, she was defeated.
That defeat also marked the end of her happiness.
“If you do that, I will hate you for life.” Bai Rong said, shaking with fear.
Gu Mingchen saw raw fear in her eyes.
At that moment, he felt as though someone was squeezing his heart. His pain met hers.
Gu Mingchen never thought that Bai Rong would be so afraid of him.
He could not see the point in forcing her anymore.
Feeling dispirited, he turned around and opened the drawers. He took out her staff pass and placed it on the bedside table. “Go now, and don’t come back anymore. I’m a beast. I can’t guarantee that I will let you off again next time.” He said in a deep voice.
Bai Rong could feel her heart aching.
How did her relationship with Gu Mingchen become so bad?
Bai Rong’s mind was blank. She left the food she brought on the bedside table and hung her staff pass around her neck.
“Take your food away. I’m not eating that.” Gu Mingchen said coldly.
“I got these from the canteen downstairs. I didn’t make them. If you go get lunch yourself, it would be the same food.” Bai Rong explained as her eyes grew slightly red.
“I won’t eat as long as it is from you. Just take it away. Or do you prefer if I throw it away myself?” Gu Mingchen said again coldly.
Bai Rong had no choice but to clear the food away. “Rest well.” She said to him without emotion, and turned towards the door and left.
Gu Mingchen let out a snort. His eyes were bloodshot.
She left so readily, as though he meant nothing to her at all.
Gu Mingchen clenched his fists.
As Bai Rong opened the door, she saw Su Wanning walking towards the ward. Instinctively, she shut the door again, feeling a guilty conscience.
“Errr… Su Wanning is here. Let me hide for a while.” Bai Rong said as she walked into the bathroom.
She regretted it the moment she went in.
Why should she be hiding? She didn’t do anything wrong.
Su Wanning entered the room holding a bouquet of lilies and a fruit basket.
She looked as glamorous as usual, with her exquisite makeup. She was wearing dangling earrings and a revealing pink mini dress. The low-cut neckline of her dress exposed a part of her breasts. They weren’t very well-endowed but still looked very sexy.
After putting the flowers into the vase and placing the fruit basket on the table, Su Wanning smiled and said, “If I am not seeing it with my own eyes, I would have thought that you are pretending just to avoid tonight’s dinner.”
Gu Mingchen didn’t reply. He looked towards the bathroom and frowned slightly.
Su Wanning was already used to his indifference.
But she didn’t mind as Gu Mingchen behaved the same towards all other women.
Su Wanning sat down on the chair next to him and said, “Grandma said that since we are unable to make the announcement tonight, we should go to her place for dinner another time to fix a date for our marriage.”
Gu Mingchen had a cold look on his face. His dark eyes are deep like the vast and boundless universe.
“If you don’t answer, I’ll take it as you agreed.” Su Wanning mumbled to herself.
Bai Rong, who was leaning against the bathroom wall, felt bothered.
He was also getting married soon. They were just passersby in each other’s lives. No matter how much they want it, it will eventually be over.
So, she had made the right decision.
It was only right for them to miss out on each other.
Bai Rong opened the door slightly. As she looked through the slit, she met Gu Mingchen’s gaze. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately closed the door.
Gu Mingchen wasn’t pleased. Was he that scary that she wanted to avoid him so much?
He gritted his teeth and looked towards Su Wanning. “OK, let’s do that.” He said, as he tried to suppress the rage that was rising in him.
Su Wanning was elated and sprang towards Gu Mingchen. The strong scent of her perfume permeated the entire room.
