You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 161
Bai Rong noted that Gu Mingchen seemed to have changed significantly. He did not use to be so…
direct.
They were both intelligent, grown adults but the innuendo was apparent.
Between them, the sparks of romance danced.

Bai Rong was shyer, so she pretended not to hear him, trying to change the subject. “We were talking
about dinner. Let us go now.”
She quickly changed clothes and left the room briskly, failing to catch Gu Mingchen’s smirk as she left.
He appeared to be in a rather good mood.
Bai Rong had just sat down at a table when Gu Mingchen’s phone rang.
His face subtly shifted when he picked up. “Got it. I will be there as soon as possible.”
“Is everything okay?” Bai Rong asked knowingly.
“Something came up back at the base and I need to rush back now.” Gu Mingchen said, his voice low.
Bai Rong looked at the table of dishes before them. “Are you not eating dinner then?”
“There is no time. You have my number so call me if you need.” Gu Mingchen said matter-of-factly as
he turned to leave.
Lieutenant Song opened the door and the chief strode out.
Bai Rong sent him as far as the door.
Several soldiers stood at attention, waiting by the car as Gu Mingchen grimly glided in.
He was gone before she knew it.
Something serious must have happened back at the base.
She had never been privy to his thoughts nor did he tell her what was going on in his life.
In the past, she was in no position to probe, much less now.
She knew Gu Mingchen was a good and righteous soldier, to the point that he neglected dinner for
military duties.
Without him there, the vi seemed vacant and lonely.
She had always hated being alone and decided to take medicine for her nerves before she went to
bed.
The sun was already high in the sky when she woke up.
Her routine was unchanged.
She got out of her bed to brush her teeth, wash up, change into a fresh outfit and left for the hospital.
In the car, she considered getting her own vehicle as it would surely make hermute more
convenient.
She made a beeline for the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and sat down to wait after taking a
number.
A woman stepped out of the gynecologist’s room, clearly distraught.
Although it had been three years, Bai Rong immediately recognized the woman as Su Wanning.
If memory served her well, Su Wanning should still be working at the military base. But she herself was
a doctor so what was she doing here?
Bai Rong’s turn came next.
The doctor was an old colleague of hers and she greeted her cheerily.
Ying looked up and a smile spread across her face when she saw it was Bai Rong. “Bai Rong, what
brings you here?”
Bai Rong waved the sheet in her hand. “I came to fill my prescription and check out who is on duty
while I am at it.”
“Oh, I see. Let me settle this for you so you do not have to wait. I heard you became a prosecutor. You
sure are gutsy, abandoning the job of deputy head of the department andpletely switching fields.
You are the only one I admire in the hospital.” Ying joked as she handed Bai Rong’s form back to her.
“That onlysted for half a year. After that, I went abroad to broaden my horizons and am now a
psychologist at a research institute. I am thinking about opening my own clinic in the future.” Bai Rong
exined.
“My goodness! You have no idea how much I admire you! You even managed to be a
psychologist?! It is a popr career now, given that ites with high sry but minimum effort. That
is a far cry from us here at the hospital, working to the bone every day. The frequent overtime and
comints from patients are enough to drive anyone up the wall. I know a doctor who was just fired
from the other hospital. I’m feeling so depressed that I’m about to enter menopause earlier…” Ying
lamented.
“You are so kind and beautiful. If you are about to enter menopause, what hope is there for the rest of
us?” Bai Rong chuckled lightly, trying tofort her.
“Thanks for trying to look out for an olddy’s feelings. I still have some work to finish up. Let’s go for a
meal when we’re all free?”
“No problem. It will be my treat. What happened to the woman who was just in here? She had a terrible
expression on her face when she left.” Bai Rong tested, trying to sound casual.
“She was careless. Not only did she contract gynecological diseases, she even got syphilis. It is
already in the second stage so it is pretty serious.” Ying replied while shaking her head.
Bai Rong paled at the news and her jaw dropped.
Su Wanning was Gu Mingchen’s fiancée and she herself had been involved with the man before.
A bad feeling washed over her. “Ying, I want to get a checkup as well.”
“Are you okay?” Ying asked nosily as her eyes widened at the sudden request.
Bai Rong tried to brush her off with a smile. “Better to be safe than sorry.”
Half an hourter, Bai Rong had her IUD imnted and was reading her medical report.
Thankfully, she was as healthy as ever.
She had better start using condoms with Gu Mingchen just in case.
What if he had already been infected?
Could he have been the one that passed it to Su Wanning in the first ce?
That couldn’t be. Gu Mingchen was notoriously hygienic and kept everything around him as clean as
possible. If he wasmitted to Su Wanning, the infection could not have started from him.
Could he be cheating on Su Wanning?
Or, maybe Su Wanning had other men.
Bai Rong was lost in her thoughts as she made her way back to the research institute.
The more she thought about it, the deeper the fear set in.
Gu Mingchen liked it rough and despised condoms. She was afraid that she would not be able to go
against him
Maybe he would go for it if she cited safety concerns.
She quickly typed this out in a text to Gu Mingchen, “Remember to wear condoms from now on to
protect against any infections.”
His reply was immediate. “Are you sick?”
His response irked her. “If anyone is sick, it would be you. I suggest you get yourself checked out.”
Just as she hit send, his call came in.
“What was that supposed to mean?” His voice was low and she could tell he was fuming. ready to bite
her head off at any second. Bai Rong was not surprised given his bad temper.
“I am fine and have the medical report to prove it.” She quickly added, trying to quench his anger.
“That is good to hear.” She felt the tension in Gu Mingchen’s voice dissipate.
His choice of words bothered her.
“I saw many women with such illnesses. Today’s society is filled with too many temptations and people
are weak. You are holding a powerful position so all the more you need to be careful.” Bai Rong tried to
exin delicately, hoping he got her message.
Gu Mingchen realized what she was getting at and his bad mood that had only just lifted came flying
back. “As long as you are not sick, neither will I be. That is all.”
He hung up without waiting for her reply.
Was he trying to provoke her? Curse her? Or could it be…
She could feel her heart banging at breakneck speed.
Was he hinting that she was the only woman in his life?
Bai Rong gulped and stared out the window, trying to calm her racing heart.
