You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422 Her Heartwarming Confession

Bai Rong flashed him an embarrassed smile and wiped her tears dry. There was still a hint of moisture in her eyes as she explained, “I had a nightmare. Sorry about that.”

“You dreamt that I died,” Gu Mingchen uttered gruffly.

Surprised, Bai Rong looked up and met his gaze.

He explained, “You were shouting, ‘Don’t die, Gu Mingchen.’“

Hearing that, Bai Rong sat up. As she recalled the dream, her heart ached slightly. She pushed her bangs away and peeked at Gu Mingchen. “I dreamt you were killed by a boulder. Liu Yan was in my dream too.”

“Dreams are the opposite of reality, so it means that I won’t die. It’s still early. Do you still want to go back to bed?” Gu Mingchen sat up and looked at the time. It was only 5.45 a.m.

Bai Rong shook her head. “I usually wake up at this hour. I’ll go prepare breakfast and then go for a morning run.”

“That sounds like a great idea. I’ll join you,” said Gu Mingchen as he got up from the bed.

Bai Rong washed up before heading out. After preparing some porridge, she went out for her morning run.

Soon, Gu Mingchen caught up to her. They exchanged gazes and grinned.

“Wanna race?” asked Bai Rong.

Gu Mingchen let out a light chuckle. “You’re seriously challenging me? No one in the military can run faster than me.”

Running backward, Bai Rong looked at him. “Mr. Gu, why don’t you run backward? We’ll do one lap and meet at the starting point.”

With a smirk, Gu Mingchen agreed, “Sure.”

As Bai Rong dashed forward, Gu Mingchen caught up to her with ease.

She glanced at him, surprised at how fast he was.

It also seemed like he was deliberately slowing down for her.

She sped up instantly, but Gu Mingchen still kept his pace beside her.

After sprinting ahead for one hundred meters, she gradually slowed down to a jog.

Seeing that, Gu Mingchen also slowed down and remained by her side.

Warmth spread in her heart as she gazed at him and beamed.

“Run at a steady pace to conserve your energy. You should only speed up in the end,” reminded Gu Mingchen.

“It’s okay. I admit defeat. The ignorant is fearless, alright? Turn around and run with me,” Bai Rong replied cheerily.

Gu Mingchen turned around obediently. He wanted to let Bai Rong win, but she saw through his little ruse.

After all, there was no winning nor losing between a couple. The biggest prize he could ever hope to get was her smile.

They jogged for ten laps around the park before Bai Rong came to a stop, panting heavily. She wiped off the sweat on her forehead and glanced at Gu Mingchen.

The man was standing under a tree with his lips curved up.

“I know of an old temple which was built over three hundred years ago. I heard they provide accurate fortune-telling there. It’s a bit far, though. Will it affect your work if I wish to head there?” Bai Rong inquired in concern.

“No. I’ll ask someone to drive the motorhome here. You can rest, and I can work on the way there. No problem.”

Bai Rong nodded. “Sounds alright. Let’s have breakfast. I prepared some porridge just now, so I’ll just cook some omelets later.”

In the car, Bai Rong drifted off while Gu Mingchen focused on his work.

Slowly, Bai Rong’s eyelids flickered open, and she gazed at Gu Mingchen silently.

The sunlight shone on his figure and cast his shadow on her blanket. Ah, how wonderful.

Happiness glowed inside her as a contented smile flitted across her lips.
