You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 61

Bai Rong plucked up her courage and called Gu Mingchen.

“Gu Mingchen. Bai Rong here. Are you free to come over for dinner tonight?” Bai Rong asked, as her eyes turned red.

“Yup, I’ll be there.” Gu Mingchen said in his deep voice.

Bai Rong furrowed her brows and turned away. She hung up quickly so that he would not hear the emotions in her voice.

The previous time she invited Gu Mingchen for dinner was also to make things clear with him.

It was no different this time. There was still no future between them.

Bai Rong felt miserable. The feeling was weighing so heavily on her heart that she felt like she wasn’t able to breathe anymore.

She slammed her phone against the floor.

Liu Yan walked out of her room when she heard the noise.

She knew that Bai Rong wasn’t her usual self and was worried. “Rong, what’s wrong? Gu Mingchen said he couldn’t come?”

Bai Rong shook her head and pulled Liu Yan close for a hug. She choked as she said, “Promise me that you will have a happy life.”

“Yes yes. Rong, what actually happened? Don’t scare me.” Liu Yan asked as she pushed Bai Rong away and scanned her eyes for any trace of hint.

Bai Rong smiled.

She could bear the suffering alone.

If Liu Yan knew, she would just be upset and act recklessly.

“Nothing happened. I was just feeling emotional. Talk to you later. I am going out to buy some ingredients now.” Bai Rong said as she picked up her phone from the floor.

Liu Yan had a feeling that something serious had happened as she watched Bai Rong’s lonely figure walk out the door.

Bai Rong went to the supermarket.

She remembered that Gu Mingchen was allergic to crayfishes, so she took fish, pork ribs, beef tenderloin, green peppers, eggs, minced meat, carrots, tofu and two bottles of wine. When she was at the checkout counter, she grabbed two packs of condoms as well.

Bai Rong made payment and put the condoms into her bag.

After she got back, she whipped up fish tofu soup, braised pork ribs, beef tenderloin with green peppers, carrot with minced pork and steamed eggs, then took a bath.

Gu Mingchen finished his work at the fastest speed possible and went to Bai Rong’s place.

He knocked on the door and she opened it.

The fragrant aroma of the cooked dishes rushed into Gu Mingchen’s nose at once. It was the smell of home.

Bai Rong closed the door after he entered the house.

Gu Mingchen grabbed Bai Rong’s arm and pulled her close, then, leaned forward and kissed her lips.

Bai Rong did not resist. She closed her eyes.

After today, they were going to become strangers who would never cross paths again.

Bai Rong wanted to let herself loose tonight. She would clear her mind of any thoughts.

Suddenly, Gu Mingchen felt something hot and wet on the corner of his lips. He looked at Bai Rong and was stunned. “Did I hurt you?” He asked.

Bai Rong seldom cried before she met Gu Mingchen.

To her, crying was a sign of weakness.

Crying would only give a reason for enemies to gloat and loved ones to feel pained.

But Bai Rong was unable to control her tears at the thought of their impending separation.

Bai Rong shook her head and beamed at Gu Mingchen. “You’re here so early.” she said.

“It looks like dinner is already ready.” Gu Mingchen said, as he wiped away Bai Rong’s tears and kissed her cheek. He held her hand and walked towards the dining table.

Bai Rong sat down at the table and poured them a glass of red wine each.

Gu Mingchen tasted a piece of braised pork ribs.

“Does it taste good?” Bai Rong was eager to know if he liked it.

“Very nice.” He complimented and ate another piece.

Bai Rong supported her chin on her hand and took a sip of wine. She looked at him with dreamy eyes.
