You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 428
Chapter 428 Happiness
Him?
Who?
Bai Rong looked at Gu Mingchen in confusion.
“I don’t want to cause a scene, so you’ll have to report it to the superiors and let them decide.” Gu
Mingchen’s voice was low.
Leng Xiao voiced his opinion, “If we report it, the mastermind may get wind of this, and it’ll be harder to
catch him.”
“At least Xia He will be released, and she’ll be safe. It’s time to clear up her name. After all, she has
suffered a lot all these years.” Gu Mingchen had made up his mind.
“But Chief, you’ll be in danger.” Leng Xiao wore a worried expression, hoping that Gu Mingchen would
retract hismand.
Gu Mingchen analyzed, “I won’t. Once the superiors find out about it, they will get to the bottom of this.
The mastermind is a very cautious person, so he will not take any action. Who knows? Maybe the
superiors can find some clues.”
Digesting Gu Mingchen’s analysis, the man asked, “Then how about him?”
Gu Mingchen instructed, “Let him go. He won’t dare to do anything since we have the footage.”
“Yes, sir.” The man gulped his wine and turned to look at Bai Rong. “When are you guys getting
married?”
His gaze was so sharp that Bai Rong felt like it was piercing into her.
Gu Mingchen exined, “We’re keeping our marriage a secret because of some reasons. When we
hold a wedding, we’ll invite you guys.”
Leng Xiao asked with a worried expression, “Have you buried the hatchet with your father?”
“Well, given his temper, I can’t really do anything.” Gu Mingchen changed the topic. “Eat more. The fish
was caught this afternoon, so it’s fresh.”
All of them fell silent, and awkwardness filled the air.
Zhang Xingyu was the first to break the silence. He chuckled and praised, “The fish fillet is so delicious!
I’ve never eaten a fish fillet this good. How did you make this?”
Bai Rong exined, “I coated the fish meat with flour and cheese. Then I fried them in butter. On top of
that, the fish meat is fresh.”
“Did Ms. Wu stay abroad before?” Leng Xiao looked at her in suspicion.
“I stayed there for some time.” Bai Rong kept her words vague.
“No wonder you like butter and cheese. The calorie values are rather high, but foreigners like them.”
Leng Xiao took a bite out of the fish fillet, and his eyes lit up. “It tastes so good.”
“The grilled fish is tasty too. Ms. Wu, did you take cooking lessons in the past?” Zhang Xingyu
continued to praise Bai Rong’s culinary skills.
“I didn’t. Maybe it’s because the fish is fresh.” After Bai Rong answered, everyone stayed silent, and
the atmosphere grew cold.
Leng Xiao put his chopsticks down and turned to Gu Mingchen. “Chief, when are you going back to the
military base?”
Gu Mingchen put his chopstick down before answering his question, “I’m still discussing with Shen
Yiyan. If wee to a conclusion, I’ll let you guys know immediately.”
Leng Xiao tried to convince him to return to the military base. “I’ve heard that Shen Yiyan is having an
affair with a woman. This will affect his reputation. If you return to the military base, you may be
themander-in-chief since you’re quite popr among the candidates, not to mention you have the
backing of Gu Group.”
A hint of inspiration shed across Bai Rong’s mind. “Gu Mingchen, I’ve been thinking whether you
getting in danger has something to do with the fact that you’re the top candidate for themander-in-
chief.”
Gu Mingchen looked at Bai Rong, and his eyes darkened.
“This actually makes sense. As soon as Shen Yiyan got in trouble, there was someone aiming at Mr.
Gu from the shadows.” Zhang Xingyu agreed with Bai Rong’s words.
Bai Rong asked, “They are trying to get rid of you because you’re a threat to them in securing the
position of themander-in-chief. Other than Shen Yiyan and Su Zheng, who were the popr
candidatesst time?”
Leng Xiao pondered for a while before listing out the names, “There are five of them. Shen Yiyan, Su
Zheng, Lin Shutong, Zuo Qunyi, and Sheng Dongcheng.”
Bai Rong suggested, “Maybe you can look into these people.”
Taking in his wife’s suggestion, Gu Mingchenmanded, “Yeah. Cheng Qian, you’ll be in charge of
keeping an eye on them.”
“Yes, Chief.” Cheng Qian said dutifully as he stood up and saluted Gu Mingchen.
Bai Rong lowered her gaze. Hopefully, we’re right this time. She said, “If that person sees Gu Mingchen
as a threat, others should be considered as threats to him too.”
“Watch them closely and report to me if anything happens,” Gu Mingchen gave his orders.
“Yes. I’ll make the arrangements now.” Cheng Qian bowed and exited the house.
Leng Xiao asked, “Do you need me to do anything?”
Gu Mingchen nodded and instructed, “You’ll be in charge of reporting this to the superiors.”
Obeying hismand, Leng Xiao stood up and saluted him.
Bai Rong felt as though Gu Mingchen was still at the military base; he was righteous, powerful, and
fought for justice.
In her heart, he was the best soldier. Looking at the man beside her, she smiled.
After dinner, Gu Mingchen helped Bai Rong to do the dishes.
He praised, “The dinner was delicious. They liked it very much.”
“You can invite them over more often. The more, the merrier. That way, you’ll get more ideas by
discussing with them. I have time to prepare meals anyway,” said the woman.
Gu Mingchen wore a smile as he looked at her lovingly. “I finally know why I love you so much.”
“Why?” Bai Rong asked.
“Because you make me feel happy,” Gu Mingchen replied.
His answer made Bai Rong hold back her urge tough.
Even the simple task of doing the dishes felt less mundane with him by her side.

After they were done, she gave Bai some dog food. Then Gu Mingchen carried her into the bedroom.
Both of themy down on the bed, gazing into each other’s eyes.
“Now is your ovtion period, right?” Gu Mingchen hugged her waist.
Bai Rong turned a pretty shade of red upon hearing that. “Yeah.”
“Got it.” The man flipped over and pinned her on the bed.
cing her hands against his chest, she said, “Let me shower first. I smell of food now.”
Gu Mingchen leaned in and took a sniff. “It smells like home.”
Bai Rong chuckled out loud and said, “You should marry a cook instead.”
“Don’t spout nonsense.” Gu Mingchen wore a serious expression while the woman pursed her lips and
gazed at him.
Looking at her sweet smile, the man’s stern expression faded. “You shall be punished.”
With that, he kissed her lips, and they spent their night reveling in pleasure.
Bai Rong woke up ratherte the next day, and Gu Mingchen was nowhere to be found. It was half-
past nine in the morning, so he had gone out to work. When she got up from the bed, she noticed a
note on the bedside table. As the handwriting was elegant and swift, Bai Rong knew that Gu Mingchen
wrote it at first nce.
The note read: I’ve made porridge with preserved egg and lean meat. It’s in the rice cooker. The deep-
fried dough sticks must have gotten cold by the time you wake up, so dip them into some warm soy
milk. It’ll taste better that way.
Reading his note, a warm and fuzzy feeling rose within her. Shey down on the bed and stared at the
ceiling with a broad smile on her face.
Suddenly, her phone rang, and she took a look at it.
The mercenaries had sent her an email, which only consisted of a brief sentence: We’re done. What’s
the next step?
Bai Rong’s eyes darkened instantly as she replied: Wait for further instructions. Remember to disguise
yourselves and don’t get exposed by Gu Mingchen.
