You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424 I Like To Be With You

After having lunch in the temple, they departed for home. It was already 4 p.m. by the time they reached their house. Bai Rong went to the kitchen to prepare dinner while Gu Mingchen went to his study to work.

When Bai Rong finished cooking, she glanced at his study upstairs before heading out with her phone and the garbage bag. After throwing the garbage bag under the tree, she made a call to someone.

“Aaron, I would like to hire some mercenaries. Can you help?” Bai Rong went straight to the point.

“Mm, sure. What type, though?” inquired Aaron. He didn’t probe the reason behind her sudden request. After all, he would fulfill her every request without fail.

“The best you’ve got. I need around five of them. Tell them to give me a call. I’ll transfer the payment to them directly,” answered Bai Rong.

“Okay. How have you been?” Aaron asked out of concern.

“I’m fine. How about you?” replied Bai Rong.

“Ha!” Aaron chuckled. “Not really good.”

“What’s wrong?” Bai Rong was worried.

“I’m single now. My family is urging me to get married. I don’t think I can stand the pressure from them anymore.” Aaron let out a sigh. “I might come to you earlier than expected. Is that possible?”

“Of course you can. Just let me know, and I’ll pick you up at the airport,” said Bai Rong earnestly.

Aaron had been a great help to her. Besides, he had never asked for anything in return or forced her to reciprocate his feelings, so she wanted the best for him.

“I’ll contact you when I arrive. Ah, I have to go now. My grandmother is calling for me. Luckily, she’s not my girlfriend. Otherwise, I’ll have to deal with her nagging for the rest of my life!” joked Aaron.

Recalling his grandmother, Bai Rong grinned. “You find her annoying now, but when she’s gone one day, you’ll come to miss her. That’s part of human nature. We tend to take things for granted. You should appreciate your time with her while you can.”

“You’re right.” Aaron let out a polite chuckle. “Bye, then!”

“Alright.”

After Aaron cut the line, Bai Rong pocketed her phone and went back into the house.

Gu Mingchen was looking around for her. “Where have you been?”

“Oh, I went out to throw the garbage. I was about to inform you that dinner’s ready,” responded Bai Rong with a grin.

Gu Mingchen helped to set the table. “Should we go to the movies tonight? There’s a new release I’d like to watch.”

“Sure!” agreed Bai Rong readily. Pulling the chair out, she sat down and gazed at Gu Mingchen.

There was not a sound to be heard while the man ate. After all, he was brought up in a strict family that placed great importance on table manners.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Mingchen asked.

“If we have a daughter who looks like you, I bet she’ll be a pretty girl,” Bai Rong remarked cheerfully.

Gu Mingchen’s mouth lifted into a smile as he said, “Alright. I’ll try my best.”

With reddened cheeks, Bai Rong gave him some meat.

He lowered his gaze and continued eating.

It was a simple but blissful dinner for both of them.

After dinner, she went to wash the dishes in the kitchen. Gu Mingchen came in and offered to help.

“I can do it myself,” Bai Rong told him.

Gu Mingchen answered in a husky voice, “I like being with you.”

“Gu Mingchen…”

“Yes?”

She gazed at him. “I’m worried about working in your company. Can you give me a week to prepare myself?”

“It’s just a sinecure so that you have a job title in the company,” Gu Mingchen assured her. “Don’t worry. You can choose not to work.”
