You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 43

Lieutenant Shang mustered up some courage, “Chief, isn’t it inappropriate for a lone man and woman to be in the same room?”

Gu Mingchen shot him a cold glance, “I don’t see a problem with it. Go back and prepare Gray Wolf for some drills on the island tomorrow.”

Lieutenant Shang dared not say any further, “Yes, sir.”

Although Bai Rong was not severely wounded, the abrasions were all on her back, so she needed the help of other nurses to disinfect and clean them for her.

They sent her back to the ward afterwards.

She felt hungry as she lay on her stomach.

She had not eaten anything due to the incident in the afternoon.

The smell of food came into the room suddenly, making her even hungrier.

Gu Mingchen pushed the door open, and the nurses came in with a bowl of mullet soup, sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fried vegetables with mushrooms.

“You must be hungry, right?” He asked softly.

Bai Rong felt a sweet sensation in her heart as she nodded.

A sudden pain on her back snapped her out of her thoughts.

“Don’t move unless you want those wounds to open up again.” Gu Mingchen said.

She looked at him.

His gaze softened as he said, “I’ll feed you.”

Earlier in the afternoon, he was the one on that bed. Now, it was her.

“Is your head and arm really okay?” Bai Rong asked worriedly.

“Of course. It was just a pretence for me to avoid attending the banquet last night.”

He patiently removed the bones from the fish and placed it on the spoon before holding it up to her face. “The doctor said this helps with the wound.”

She was greatly relieved to hear that he was fine.

Her heart throbbed greatly as she ate the fish he fed her.

“Gu Mingchen, do you have any wishes that you want fulfilled?” Bai Rong asked. She wanted to do her best to help him fulfil them.

“Don’t you already know my wishes?” Gu Mingchen looked at her.

Bai Rong remembered what he wanted.

She didn’t think that she was what he wished for.

Bai Rong lowered her gaze.

He didn’t want to put her in a difficult position as she was feeling unwell, “What about you? What do you wish for?”

She had many wishes, such as being a great doctor, growing old with someone, cooking for the man she loved and going stargazing with him. She also wished for her mother’s speedy recovery and for the people she cared about to be happy.

Perhaps she was a little too greedy.

“I want to travel to Provence with my mother. She has always wanted to go there.” Bai Rong said in a depressed tone.

“That’s easy. I can help pay for the trip if you can’t afford it.” Gu Mingchen said generously.

Bai Rong shook her head, “My mother is suffering from a mental illness, and could injure people when it gets serious. She can’t be released on bail.”

Gu Mingchen frowned and kept quiet as he focused on removing the bones from the fish.

Bai Rong admired his handsome face. When he was focused, his face looked like a perfect artwork in the hands of a great sculptor.

“Am I good-looking?” Gu Mingchen shot her a glance as he lifted a spoonful of soup to her mouth.

“Mhmm.” Bai Rong did not deny it.

“Compared to Su Xuyan?” Gu Mingchen asked, raising an eyebrow.

It was undeniable that Su Xuyan had delicate features as well.

His innate elegance coupled with his unruly mannerisms were truly something out of this world.

He was the kind of guy that would get girls screaming wherever he showed up to.

“There is no comparison.”

“Which type do you prefer, then?” Gu Mingchen was determined to know.

Bai Rong felt his question was a trap.

If she chose him, it would seem like she was confessing her love to him.
