You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 14
There went the dominant tone again.
Bai Rong’s eyes widened in shock. She got to her feet immediately and said awkwardly, “Isn’t this room
for me?”
“Mhmm.” He mumbled back at her coldly, “You’ll sleep on the bed. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
How could a lone man and woman stay in the same room? She hadn’t even done that with Su Xuyan
before. Her face quickly burned in a crimson red and spoke in a confused voice, “Eh? We are just
boyfriend and girlfriend. We don’t need to stay in the same room.”
Finished speaking, Gu Mingchen stared at her, and started walking towards her.
Although she was not his subordinate nor was she a soldier, his overwhelming aura still sent a shiver
down her spine.

She took a step back and fell onto the sofa.
Gu Mingchen leaned in with his hands pinning on the sofa, surrounding her with his arms.
As his cold gaze was fixated on her, she could feel a strong sense of oppression even though he didn’t
speak.
“What’s wrong?” Panic shed across her eyes.
“Do I look like a monster or something? Why do you have to act so evasively with me?” He asked.
“I didn’t mean it that way!” Bai Rong quickly exined, “It’s just that…”
Just that he was a high-ranked official while she was a married woman. They were two strangers who
had nothing inmon. It was indeed inappropriate for them to stay in the same room
But that did sound distrustful.
So instead of continuing her speech, she said, “I’ll take the sofa.”
Hearing her reply, his gaze turned gentle as he said, “This is thest room, so please bear with it. Don’t
worry, I won’ty a finger on you. You take the bed, and I’ll take the sofa.” Not giving her a chance to
speak, he took his steps to the bathroom.
Of course she trusted him.
If he wanted to touch her, he would’ve done so yesterday.
However, he probably wouldn’t be interested in someone like her.
Looking at the man’s back view, only then did she remember that her clothes were still hanging in the
bathroom. “Wait!”
He gave her an ambiguous look and asked, “Why? You want to join me?”
She was surprised that a gentleman like himself was capable of saying something so indecent and felt
flustered as she walked towards him, “No way! I just have some things inside. Let me tidy it up before
you enter.”
Gu Mingchen did not object and just stood there looking at her.
Bai Rong hurriedly put her clothes away. She had forgotten that the disposable slippers were very
slippery especially when it came into contact with water.
“Aaah!” She let out a cry as she slipped.
He rushed in as fast as lightning and caught her by the arm, pulling her into his embrace.
But her towel fell off from the huge motion, and he identally grabbed hold of her boobs.
Gu Mingchen felt his body burning up as he looked at her. She felt tender and smooth to the touch, just
like three years ago.
Bai Rong felt so awkward that she couldn’t even speak. Her face was beet red from embarrassment.
“I’m… I’m sorry…” Bai Rong mumbled.
She quickly picked up the towel and wrapped it around her as soon as Gu Mingchen let go of her.
The man was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he stared at her bright red face before walking forward.
Afraid, she took a step back and shivered when her back touched the cold wall. She almost copsed
when she met the man’s condescending gaze.
“Are you afraid?” Gu Mingchen asked with a deep voice.
He looked a little upset when he saw that she did not deny it, “To me, you seem more like a monster
than I do.”
Bai Rong stared at him in confusion. Does that mean I’m annoying?
She was the one who insisted to enter the bathroom; who didn’t wear anything underneath; who fell…
Well. If she were him, she probably would’ve thought that herself did it on purpose too.
“I’m sorry.” Bai Rong apologized again and held her head low in embarrassment.
Gu Mingchen stared at her.
“You can have the room. I’ll leave.” He said coldly as he turned around.
He was afraid that he might end up repeating what he did to her three years ago.
Three years ago, it was because of drugs; but just now… it was an impulse.
The lobby on the second floor.
Lu Jiayi sat beside Gu Mingchen and poured him some tea, “Cousin, grandma said that the Gu Group
belongs to you. It’s fine if you don’t want to attend the press conference on Tuesday, but you must
come to the evening banquet!”
Gu Mingchen looked at her knowingly, “I don’t mind attending the banquet. However, if there is an
indecent motive behind it, don’t expect me to show up for any more events in the future.”
Lu Jiayi had a troubled look on her face as she tried to persuade him, “Wanning has liked you since
she was a child. Those things she did in the past were because she loved you too much. Now that you
have reached your 30s, grandma thinks Wanning is the best candidate to be your wife considering
family backgrounds, knowledge, and capabilities. So yeah, tomorrow’s banquet is actually a set-up.”
Gu Mingchen snorted as he put down the tea cup and said coldly, “If I don’t like the person, I won’t be
with her even if it means giving up the entire family business. So I will not attend the banquet
tomorrow.”
“Then, do you like the girl that came with you today?” Lu Jiayi tilted her head as she asked.
Gu Mingchen paused. It was impossible to tell what this man was thinking. “What are you trying to
say?”
“I think she’s a bit too soft. You know grandma’s standards. It’s gonna be tough.” Lu Jiayi said worriedly.
“You worry too much. As long as I like the person, I will clear any obstacles thaty before me.” Gu
Mingchen said confidently.
He achieved what he had today all by himself, not because he had a powerful father or a wealthy family
background.
Lu Jiayi smiled in admiration towards her cousin, “If you are not my cousin, I’d be even crazier than
Wanning.”
Without lifting his head up, Gu Mingchen said, “I simply have no feelings for her. I’d rather wait longer
for the right person than force myself to ept someone I don’t like.”
“Heh, you’ll definitely spoil your wife in the future.” Lu Jiayi sighed.
Bai Rong came into his mind as he heard that, “Help me to prepare a set ofdies’ clothing and a pair
of t-bottom leather shoes with a soft cotton texture. Have them delivered before we reach the docks
tomorrow. And… Bring me a nket, I’ll be sleeping in the guest hall today.”
“Huh? Did she kick you out of the room?” She was surprised to hear that. “No one should be able to
resist your charm.”
“Shut up and get to work.” Gu Mingchen frowned.
“Okay.” Lu Jiayi nced at her cousin andughed as she stood up and left the hall.
Gu Mingcheny on the sofa and recalled the incident in the bathroom earlier.
It was just like three years ago.
What would have happened if he told her about it just now?
He didn’t want to ruin her happiness, but she didn’t seem to be happy at all right now.
