You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 462

Chapter 462 Good Morning

“He values talents. I found out about this weakness of his because of you,” Gu Mingchen said slowly. “Because of me? What do you mean?” Bai Rong looked at him with her eyes wide in curiosity. “Do you remember how they tried to assassinate Zhou Hailan last time?”

Bai Rong nodded. “Yeah. They sent ten people at first, and then about another ten later on.” “Ten of their men died. Shadow Samurais took off their masks and took pictures of them. They were all exceptional talents from around the world, and they were all dead according to the records.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Dead! How is this gonna help us?” Bai Rong still could not wrap her head around what Gu Mingchen was trying to get at.

“I’ve already found a few skilled men. I asked them to purposely commit crimes at different corners of the world. Sheng Dongcheng is in dire need of talents now. He will reach out to them once they are apprehended. He might even set them up just to get them to work for him,” Gu Mingchen conjectured.

“About the people who killed your dad some thirty years ago, do you know where they are? Judging from how Sheng Dongcheng does things, I bet we can identify the killers by now.”

Gu Mingchen shook his head regretfully. “I can’t find a thing about them. Sheng Dongcheng wasn’t in power back then. Besides, the internet wasn’t as advance back then. Even if someone died, the records wouldn’t be updated immediately.”

“But can we at least have a rough idea who are the people working for him?” Bai Rong asked.

“We can find out a thing or two about them, but they’re all working for Sheng Dongcheng. It’ll be difficult to get them on our side,” Gu Mingchen analyzed the possibility.

“But we still need to try. It just takes one of his men to go back against him for us to win. We might even get some dirt on him. You know what? Leave this to me. I’ll take care of this,” Bai Rong volunteered.

But Gu Mingchen would never put her in danger. He could not bring himself to let her stand in the frontline. “I’ll ask someone else to do it.”

“I’m the best candidate. I spent so many years studying psychology. I was even able to contribute to the army’s public security system. It means I’m capable of doing it. Besides, you never have to doubt my loyalty,” Bai Rong asserted.

“All you need to do now is rest and make sure the baby grows up well,” Gu Mingchen said, placing his hand on her tummy.

“I’ll be able to work like normal after three months. I’ll spend time doing some research before I get into action. Also, I’m the only person who knows you’re not Gu Tianhang’s son. Sheng Dongcheng has no idea about it. So he won’t even know we have a motive for targeting him,” Bai Rong tried persuading him.

“Fine. I’ll let you do it. But you’ll need to inform me of your every move. We will take action after detailed planning,” Gu Mingchen finally caved. He was really afraid Bai Rong would do anything without notifying him.

A triumphant smile rested on Bai Rong’s face. She tiptoed and placed a kiss on his cheek. “Thank you.”

“Alright, let’s head in already. We’ve had quite a walk.” He took off his gloves and held her face in his cheeks. “Your face is freezing cold,” he said with a sigh.

“It’d be great if I can freeze my aging process and stay young forever,” Bai Rong.

“Let’s go back in and do a foot bath. I don’t want you to catch a cold,” he said, putting on his gloves and pulling her in, “I’ll meet up with Shen Yiyan to talk about the military base.”

“I told him earlier on that we were leaving for good. Now that you want to return all of a sudden, I’m afraid he’ll be suspicious. Bear in mind that he’s way more vigilant than Sheng Dongcheng,” Bai Rong said anxiously.

“Don’t worry. My father just passed away, and I’m having another child soon too. These two factors are a big change in my life, and big decisions always follow a big change. He might suspect me, but he’ll be able to understand my situation too.”

Bai Rong saw some truth in his answer and nodded.

By the time they got back to their room, the traditional medicine practitioner was already there. He had already decocted the medicine and handed the drink to Bai Rong.

She took the bowl over and drank everything.

Gu Mingchen knew the medicine was bitter, so he got her candy and put it in her mouth.

Bai Rong chewed on it with her heart brimming with joy.

“I’ll come again tomorrow morning to take your pulse. You can stop taking the medicine once everything returns to normal. After all, it’s not good to take this medicine for a long time. It will harm your body,” the doctor said.

“Alright. Thank you,” Bai Rong replied politely.

The old doctor nodded and left.

“Mingchen, ask someone to see him home. He’s so old already,” Bai Rong suggested.

“He lives here. He’s been staying with us ever since Dad got sick. He’s our family doctor,” Gu Mingchen replied.

Bai Rong frowned as she looked at him, but she did not say anything else.

“The hot water is ready. Who wants to shower first?” Song Xiyu asked.

“You go first,” Gu Mingchen said, nudging Bai Rong.

“Alright. Thanks, Mom,” Bai Rong said, standing up.

“You don’t have to thank me. Let me know if you like any food in particular. I’ll ask Wang to make it for you. And if you think her cooking does not suit your taste buds, I can ask another cook to come over.”

“It’s fine, Mom. Wang’s cooking is pretty good.”

“That’s good. Go take a shower then,” Song Xiyu said, turning to go into her room.

When Bai Rong came out of the bathroom, Gu Mingchen was already fast asleep on the couch.

She pursed her lips looking at him.

Sometimes she wondered if she was too selfish and that if she took his kindness for granted. She forgot that he must have been really tired. She shouldn’t have asked him to go for a walk. On top of that, she should have let him shower first. Seeing him sleeping soundly, she felt reluctant to wake him up.

“Mingchen,” she beckoned softly, “Go on the bed and sleep.”

He opened his eyes and looked at her. “I’ll go take a shower first.”

“Alright. I’ll go get your clothes.”

Bai Rong took his clothes for him and turned her phone on silent mode. She did not want to disturb his sleep.

After he came out of the shower, Gu Mingchen hit the hay and fell asleep.

A contented smile gradually sat on her lips as she looked at him resting. Bai Rong turned off the lights and went to sleep too.

The next morning, Song Xiyu asked Wang to not disturbed Gu Mingchen during breakfast. She knew he must be exhausted.

By the time he woke up, Bai Rong was already awake. She was lying quietly beside him, looking at him. “Good morning, my kid’s daddy,” she greeted with a smile when he opened his eyes.

This elicited a smile on his face. “Morning, my kid’s mommy,” he said in return.

“I’ll go brush my teeth,” Bai Rong said, getting out of bed.

Gu Mingchen let her use the bathroom first and went in after that. When he got in, he saw Bai Rong had already squeezed some toothpaste on his toothbrush, just like how he did it for her not long after they met.

A bright smile broke out on his face. He could still remember how it was back then when he brought her back to the military base after she got drunk.

Back then, she still found him repulsive, but now, she was already his wife.

Gu Mingchen took up his toothbrush and brushed his teeth together with her. They looked at each other from the corner of their eyes, took up the cups, gargled their mouth, and spat out the water in a

uniform manner.

Bai Rong went over to the bedside to check her phone after they washed up. There was a missed call from Shen Yiyan.

She took a quick glance at Gu Mingchen and called back.
