You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425 I Believe You

The movie was quite enjoyable. It was a patriotic action film which told the story of a man who lost all hope when he thought his fiancée died and went to Smealand. However, a war erupted, so he volunteered to carry out his country’s mission and saved many hostages.

Bai Rong’s heart wrenched in pain halfway through the movie.

It was the scene where the male protagonist was infected by a virus. When he was unconscious, he dreamt of his fiancée. With tears streaming down his cheeks, he gripped onto the bullet which shot through his fiancée’s body and said, “You didn’t come back for me.”

Bai Rong teared up as she covered her mouth to muffle her cries. Her vision became blurry while sorrow filled her heart.

Gu Mingchen was in a worse state than the male protagonist when she left him. He was binge drinking and smoking to the extent that he had to be hospitalized.

What if I’m gone in the future? What will happen to him?

She didn’t dare to dwell on it and leaned onto Gu Mingchen’s shoulder. There’s no way for me to know what will happen in the future. What I can do is cherish the time we have now.

The movie ended, but Bai Rong couldn’t get enough of it. “It’s good. I want to watch it again.”

“Then let’s come again tomorrow. There should be more movies portraying patriotism,” Gu Mingchen replied lovingly as he smiled at her.

“Sure. Are you hungry?” Bai Rong wrapped her hands around the man’s arm.

Lowering his head, Gu Mingchen looked at her and suggested, “Let’s go for supper. What do you want to eat?”

“Hmm… How about a buffet? There’re some places that serve buffet-style supper. Let me check online.” She turned on the mobile data on her phone and searched for supper buffets on an application. Soon, the system selected a few nearby restaurants for her.

“I know where it is. Follow me.” Bai Rong dragged Gu Mingchen with her.

With a smile, he followed behind her.

It was almost eleven o’clock then, so there weren’t many people on the streets, and most were movie-goers like them. After those people left, silence ensued on the empty roads while the chilly breeze blew past. The peace of the night was disrupted temporarily by some passing cars.

The street lights shone on them, casting a pair of shadows on the ground.

They walked for ten minutes without saying a word. Crossing the bridge, the humid breeze blew at them. Feeling the wind caressing her face, Bai Rong turned to look at the lake and said, “This reminds me of the time we spent on the island.”

“Me too.” Gu Mingchen’s voice was low.

Thinking of the food they ate on the island, Bai Rong smiled. “The crabs were delicious.”

The man added, “The pork stew tasted great too. We can go there this weekend if you like.”

“Sure,” she agreed readily. Checking the map on her phone, the woman craned her neck and saw the restaurant ahead of them. “There it is!”

“Yeah,” Gu Mingchen replied.

When they were heading toward the Big Fat Goat Restaurant, Bai Rong’s phone rang.

It was an unknown number, so she guessed it was the mercenaries Aaron found for her and answered the call.

“Hello, we are Silver Flame. Someone said you needed our help.” The person was speaking in English.

“Yes. Give me your email. I’ll send you the details,” Bai Rong replied briefly and hung up.

“Who was that?” Gu Mingchen felt suspicious.

The woman took in a deep breath before looking at him with tears in her eyes. She explained calmly, “Liu Yan is missing. I’m hiring people to look for her.”

Gu Mingchen reminded, “It may be a good thing that she’s missing. After all, no news is good news. If she can be found easily, she would have been found by others.”

“I’m just worried that something bad happened to her. Let’s not talk about this and eat first.” Bai Rong was reluctant to continue with the conversation as she didn’t want Gu Mingchen to find out the truth.

After dragging him into the restaurant, she ordered a variety of delicacies.

“Are you able to finish them all?” Gu Mingchen looked at her in disbelief.

“Well, you’re here with me.” Bai Rong put the lamb slices into the hotpot.

Satisfied by her answer, the man smiled and replied softly, “Yeah.”
