You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 219
“Okay,” he responded.
It was just a simple word, but Bai Rong felt as if it had turned into crashing waves that sshed against
arge boulder in the sea.
The trust he had given her, after numerous hardships they had been through, warmed her heart.
Her usual nk expression cracked as she smiled gently at his word. She lowered her gaze and slowly
leaned against the headboard.
“Do you want to lie down?” Gu Mingchen immediately stretched out his arm to get a pillow.
Smiling, she stopped his hand and asked, “Have you had dinner? I’ll cook for youter.”
“You’re sick now. How can I let you cook for me? Let’s go out for dinner. Do you have anything you
want to eat?” He stroked her hand and gazed adoringly at her.
Bai Rong thought for a moment before saying, “When I was studying in the United States, the foods I
missed the most were braised chicken, roast duck, and steamed fish head. I remember we have a
famous restaurant near my university. Would you like to have dinner there with me?”
He beamed. “I like the foods you’ve just said as well. By the way, do you know what’s my favorite
dish?”
A sheepish grin appeared on her face as she shook her head in response.
Gu Mingchen was not a picky eater when he was with Bai Rong; he would eat whatever she had
prepared.
“I only know that you can’t eat lobsters because you’re allergic to them,” she replied.
“Well, my favorite dish is braised pork. It’s so nice to be eaten with rice. However, I rarely eat it when I
was at the military base because I don’t want other people to know about it. Do you know how to cook
braised pork?”
Wow, I did not expect that answer. I thought he would like expensive delicacies, instead of an ordinary
dish.
Nodding her head, she asked, “Do you like it sweet? Because that’s normally how I cook it.”
“Yeah, I’m fine with it.” He gave her a half-smile. “When we eat at home next time, I’ll also make some
dishes, too. We can prepare our meals together.”
The way he smiles resembles his temperament, but he looks great whenever he smiles.
Smiling at her own thoughts, she teased, “Then, I’ll be the chef and you’re my assistant.”
“No problem.” Gu Mingchen let out a chuckle before moving to sit beside her on the bed and looked at
her with his zing eyes. “I’m sure you’ll be a good mom.”
Bai Rong’s heart sank. “You’ve found our child?”
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
He shook his head and said, “There’s no information at all. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”
Her eyes dimmed with sorrow. “I thought our baby was dead at one point. But as long as the body’s not
found, I’ll always have a glimmer of hope in my heart.”
“Let’s have more kids. This time I’ll protect them well. I don’t mind if it’s a boy or a girl; I like them all.
Especially after listening about children and ice cream just now, I’m starting to look forward to having
kids with you,” he said with a gleam in his eyes.
Yeah, I’m twenty-eight now. It’s time to have a baby, but I’ll need to stop my medication if I want to
conceive. I’m worried my illness might get out of control once my medication stops.
Suddenly, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.
As she searched for her bag, Gu Mingchen took it out from the bedside drawer and gave her phone to
her.
Bai Rong saw an unsaved number on her phone, but she knew that it belonged to Cheng Jinrong.
Probably because Lu Xingzhou asked him to call.
She promptly answered the call; she had been waiting for his call for a long time.
“Rong, it’s me, Cheng Jinrong. Have you eaten dinner?” he greeted cheerfully.
She wanted to go out for dinner with Gu Mingchen, so she replied, “I’m going out to eat with someone
else. What’s the matter?”
“Uh…” He did not expect her declination. “How about tomorrow? Let’s have lunch tomorrow at noon.
Mr. Lu still has some details to go over with you.”
“Alright. Let’s meet at Tianyu Tea House in Shuiyue International around eleven.” She hung up the call.
“Who are you going to meet at 11 A.M. tomorrow?” Gu Mingchen tried his best to conceal the hint of
jealousy in his voice, but he failed miserably.
Holding his hand, she told him the truth, “A client whom I’ve mentioned to you before. You even know
him. His name is Lu Xingzhou.”
He gaped at her. “What? How did you know him?”
“I knew him by coincidence. His son has a mental health problem, and he just happened to find me,”
she exined. “By the way, did u find anything on Lu Liangcheng?”
He pondered for a while before saying, “Lu Xingzhou’s the mentor of Lu Liangcheng. We know that Jin
Yang City is a historical city, so there might have buildings built over many possible archaeological
sites. After Lu Liangcheng bes the mayor, he has secretly established Xingzheng Construction
Company to excavate antiquities and illegally trade them. All of these are done under the disguise of
regr building construction of hispany.”
With his chin on his hand, he looked over to Bai Rong and continued, “In fact, the evidence of his crime
has long been there, and the cultural relics he put in the ck market are all seized. It’s just a matter of
time for him to be caught. However, we still can’t find any connection of this matter with other people.”
“It’s been more than three years. I think it’s time for him to be detained. If he escapes, all manpower
and resources used would go down the drain. Besides, other people involved in this crime are
obviously harder to be dealt with. But we might have a breakthrough discovery from Lu Xingzhou.”
“Yea. He’s meticulous and conscientious, so it’s definitely more difficult to deal with him than Lu
Liangcheng. Obtaining breakthrough information from him is not going to be easy. What’s more
important is your safety. It’s too dangerous for you to go alone.”
“I’ve promised Tang Xiaojiu to find the murderer. If not, we can’t be together. It’s been three and a half
years now and yet I have not found any useful information. So, I must go.” Bai Rong determinedly said.
Gu Mingchen frowned.
I don’t have any memory of the past three years, so I can’t remember the details of being with Bai
Rong. I know Lu Liangcheng is rted to the Tangqian Vige genocide, but I have no idea of the
promise she gave to Tang Xiaojiu. Too many things happened in the past three years. I didn’t even
have time to think much on this matter.
“Okay. But I’ll let someone go with you,” he said,promising.
Bai Rong remembered that he also secretly sent someone to protect her when she went to Jinyang
City by herself before. She was very touched at the time.
However, she could not risk herself getting caught. So, she tried to convince him. “But it might make
me more suspicious. Don’t worry, I promise I’ll take care of myself.”
“I allow you to go, but you must have someone with you. If not, I won’t be at ease.”
Bai Rong did not want to argue over this matter. “Okay, you can do as you want, but don’t let me know
who it’ll be. I’m starving. Let’s go out and have dinner.”
He took a nce at the vial hanging above. “But you’re not done with your medication.”
After nimbly removing the cann from her hand, she hopped down the bed and said, “I’m a doctor. I
know how much of this is enough.”
He felt sorry for her as he grabbed her hand and look at the bandage. “Bai Rong, you don’t have to
remove it yourself. I know how to remove the cann, too.”
Bai Rong simply smiled.
I’m used to depending on myself. Once I start having someone to depend on, I’m scared to be
vulnerable when I lose the person.
“Fine. Let’s go. You’re rich, so you pay this time.” She walked out of the room first.
With her hand in his, he followed her and went out of the apartment.
