You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 13

She lost!

In the game of love, whoever gave their heart out would lose. She was the one who did.

Su Wanning triumphantly raised her head and said mockingly, “Either dance here naked, or let go of Gu Mingchen. Choose one. I want to see if you’ll choose your dignity or your man.”

“That’s enough, Su Wanning. I am not something you can make a bet on.” Gu Mingchen stood in front of Bai Rong.

“A deal is a deal.” Su Wanning’s bloodshot eyes widened, “If I lost, I would run to the deck and shout I don’t love you anymore, Gu Mingchen. Do you know that? I really wish I could stop loving you.”

Bai Rong stood quietly as she listened.

While Su Xuyan was disgusted with her, she too, didn’t want to love him.

“I’ll dance.” Bai Rong said.

“Music!” Su Wanning shouted.

And music began to play.

She walked onto the dance floor and danced to the rhythm, as if she was the only person in this world.

In fact, she was indeed the only person in this world.

The one that she loves didn’t love her; and the one that loves her has yet to appear.

“Strip!” Su Wanning yelled with a vicious look on her face.

Bai Rong looked back.

Fortunately, she had retained her dignity and didn’t look as abominable as Su Wanning did.

Bai Rong unbuttoned her shirt.

Her flexible waist twisted to the rhythm, and her beautiful moves displayed her superb dancing skills.

She alternated between being seductive and being mellow throughout the dance.

Everyone including Gu Mingchen was stunned, as his gaze was fixated on her.

He didn’t know that she could dance, let alone dance this well.

The surrounding men were staring at her like a pack of hungry wolves.

Gu Mingchen frowned, “Su Junhao, take your sister away.”

Su Wanning felt like her plans had backfired as that woman ended up stealing her spotlight instead.

Gu Mingchen took off his coat and draped it over her, covering her up from all the lustful eyes around her.

Her body exuded a sweet fragrance and moist heat and were picked up by his nose.

“Hehehehe.” Bai Rong let out a silly laugh, and there was visible sadness in her teary eyes, “I look really stupid right now, don’t I?”

He looked deep into her eyes and blurted out, “Do you want me to like you?”

“Hm?” Bai Rong stared at him, thinking she was hearing things.

But Gu Mingchen just pulled her away and said, “You’re drunk.”

Bai Rong’s eyes sank. I’m probably drunk…

Soon, he brought her to the second floor and handed her an access card, “You’ll sleep in this room tonight.”

“Aren’t we going home? I have to go to work tomorrow morning.” Bai Rong said worriedly.

“Once we return to the docks tomorrow morning, I’ll send you to the hospital. Don’t worry, you won’t be late for work.” Gu Mingchen promised.

In that case, she didn’t want to argue any further. That wasn’t her cruise, after all.

“Thank you.” Bai Rong turned around and disappeared into her room.

He glanced at her red heels and frowned in sympathy before leaving.

In the room, Bai Rong sat on the sofa and took off her shoes.

Those were the gifts from Liu Yan. It was so stiff that her heels were hurting from it. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

She shouldn’t have accepted them.

Bai Rong sniffed at herself. She reeked of alcohol.

Urgh… She still had to go to work tomorrow.

So she changed into the disposable slippers and took a shower in the bathroom. Then she washed her clothes and hung them in the bathroom to dry.

When she stepped out of the bathroom in a bath towel, Gu Mingchen was there sitting on the sofa and rummaging through the first aid kit before him.

He saw Bai Rong through the corner of his eyes and looked up at her. The woman was only clad in a towel, exposing her sexy collarbone.

The towel could only cover up to her buttocks, revealing her slender, white legs.

Bai Rong was shocked too as she was not wearing anything underneath.

“You…… What are you doing here?” She asked nervously.

“Come here.” Gu Mingchen ordered.

Bai Rong explained awkwardly, “I’ve washed my clothes, so it’s not too appropriate…”

“What are you worried about?” He sounded a little annoyed and said, “Come here.”

His tone was commanding and clearly wouldn’t take no for an answer.

So she walked towards him slowly and said softly, “I want to rest.”

Ignoring her, Gu Mingchen retrieved some iodine and bandages from the first aid kit. “Sit down.”

He didn’t even lift his head up as he tore off the bandages and put it on the table.

Now Bai Rong understood what he wanted to do and felt a sense of warmth in her heart. In a gentle voice, she said, “Thank you, I can do that myself.”

This time, he stopped commanding her.

This woman was more stubborn than he had thought.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her forcibly to his side.

Before Bai Rong could adjust herself, he lifted her leg and rested it on his own.

His movement was clean and swift, just like when he rescued her from the thugs before.

Bai Rong was startled as she wasn’t wearing anything underneath and would be exposed.

She immediately turned to one side and pressed her thighs against each other tightly, leaving no gap in between.

Gu Mingchen didn’t seem to notice. He took some iodine and started applying it on her wound.

His gentle movements contrasted the usual impression he gave off.

She didn’t feel any pain.

Instead, she felt comfortable.

“The leather on those shoes are too stiff. Don’t wear them anymore.” Gu Mingchen reminded her.

“Mhmm.” Bai Rong answered.

“The other leg.” Gu Mingchen said.

Bai Rong turned to the other side before raising her leg.

Sensing the woman was acting weird, Gu Mingchen pulled her ankle into his hand.

But her letting out a soft cry drew his attention.

Turning his head subconsciously, he saw her… Her…

It was only for 0.1 seconds, but he saw it.

Bai Rong blushed as she wasn’t sure if the man had seen it. She looked away to avoid making eye contact.

Clearing his throat, Gu Mingchen lowered his head as he went back to treating her wound.

Neither of them spoke, and the sexual tension in the room was driving her insane.

“Are you done?” Bai Rong urged him.

“Don’t move.” Gu Mingchen said.

His voice sounded a little hoarse, and was filled with masculinity.

“After we get off the ship, we won’t be seeing each other anymore, right?” Bai Rong asked.

Hearing her, Gu Mingchen’s gaze grew cold. “If you do not wish to see me again, then yes.”

His reply was ambiguous. What did he mean by that? What if she wanted to see him? Did that mean she could see him then? If so, what would they be seeing each other as?

They were from very different worlds, after all. Their encounters were nothing more than brief episodes of warmth in their lives.

Tomorrow, she will return to her normal life.

“Mhmm.” She only mumbled one word in response, but it had clearly expressed her intentions of not wanting to see him again.

A ghastly look appeared on Gu Mingchen’s face as he applied the bandages on her leg.

He stood up straight and looked at her condescendingly as he said, “I will sleep here tonight.”
