You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 466

Chapter 466 Ecstatic At Your Appearance

“Why do you do this to yourself?” Ling scorned. Aaron laughed and replied, “I just wanted to knock the wind out of your sails for a bit. Plus, I want you to know the real situation.” “Why are you so annoying, Aaron?” Ling pouted, feeling irritated.

“Hey, can’t you tell I’m actually helping you? Whether I’m being annoying or not, it doesn’t change the fact that they’re married to each other. Why don’t you think of it this way? Since she’s a better catch than you, you should be feeling less upset after knowing that the hottie you were eyeing is her beau.”

“I wasn’t that upset, to begin with. After all, she looks like a decent person. But what about you? You’re not really a bad catch yourself compared to that hottie. You might even be better in some ways. I don’t see you with a pretty woman,” Ling retorted.

This time Aaron was stunned speechless. “Fine, you win.” Aaron turned his back. Ling stuck out her tongue and pounced on his back. She said coquettishly, “Sorry Aaron, I didn’t mean to anger you. You’re a great catch. I’m sure you’ll meet someone better than her, right?”

“Get off me! You’re not a monkey. I’m not angry,” said Aaron. Ling climbed off his back as she sighed, looking towards the kitchen. “I’ve been wondering about your type. She seemed like a really great match for you.”

Aaron smiled and replied, “I’m going to get the dishes. You should go wash your hands.”

Aaron entered the kitchen. Bai Rong had already reheated three of the dishes. “I’ve told Ling that you’re Gu Mingchen’s wife. She seems pretty ok about it. I don’t think she’ll give you any trouble over it.”

“Thank you, Aaron.” I’m sure he handled the situation tactfully. Bai Rong served the dishes on the dining table just as the lawyer arrived. Everyone dug in.

“This is so good. It’s even better than the lunch I had at the hotel yesterday. I wish I could bring you back to Ustrana with me,” Ling praised. “Hey, where’s your husband though? Why isn’t he here yet?”

“He’s quite far from here, so he’ll only arrive later,” explained Bai Rong. She thought she heard the faint sounds of an airplane flying past.

She had a hunch as she set down her chopsticks and rushed out the door. A small airplane was nearby, red lights blinking off its frame. It was flying in the direction of the house.

Though the sky was dark, the snow seemed to cast a faint glow on the surroundings. She could see clearly that someone was hanging off the airplane.

“Wow! Who’s that? That’s so cool!” Ling exclaimed. Gu Mingchen rappeled down the airplane in a flash, making a perfect landing. He took off his aviators after he landed.

Bai Rong was ecstatic at his arrival, and she ran towards him. Gu Mingchen caught her in a hug but chided in a worried tone, “Don’t run! What if you slip? And it’s snowing now.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“I’m just really happy to see you,” explained Bai Rong. “Well, you’re not allowed to pull a stunt like this again,” Gu Mingchen answered gruffly.

Bai Rong appraised Gu Mingchen’s appearance. It looked like he’d rushed here, as he’d yet to change out of his military attire. He looked absolutely dashing, like a ray of sunshine piercing through the cold winter. The thought made her feel warm and cozy all over.

“Oh right, have you eaten?” asked Bai Rong.

Gu Mingchen shook his head.

“I’ll get you some food.” Bai Rong tugged on his arm cheerfully as she turned towards the house.

Ling bumped Aaron on his shoulder, whispering, “He looks even hotter now. He’s perfect from every angle.”

“Let’s go back and eat, kiddo.” Aaron tried to push Ling back towards the house.

Ling didn’t reply, still starry-eyed over Gu Mingchen.

Gu Mingchen glanced at Ling briefly before looking back at Bai Rong.

Bai Rong smiled gently. “I’ve told you before. We can talk about it when we’re home.”

Gu Mingchen didn’t forget what she’d told him. He then looked at Mr. Tang and gave him a polite nod.

“Come and eat. We thought you’d be late so we’ve already started. I hope you don’t mind,” Mr. Tang said cordially.

“No worries. I was in a rush to end my call and didn’t explain clearly as well,” replied Gu Mingchen politely, as he took a seat at the table with Bai Rong.

Bai Rong scooped some rice for Gu Mingchen, before placing a piece of barbequed pork in his bowl.

Gu Mingchen took a bite and looked at her. “You made this?”

“Yes.” Bai Rong nodded happily.

Gu Mingchen didn’t say anything more and continued eating.

“Are you always this stoic?” Ling asked.

Gu Mingchen nodded wordlessly.

“So manly,” Ling blurted.

What a straightforward girl.

This reminded Bai Rong of Liu Yan, and her mood became heavy.

Gu Mingchen held her hand as if he’d read her mind. “No news is good news, right?”

Bai Rong nodded. “Eat more. You should try the chicken wings I made. Ling loves them.”

Gu Mingchen’s expression softened. “Anything you make is delicious.”

Ling suddenly wanted to take back her comments on his manliness. She realized that whenever he stared at his wife, his gaze was full of nothing but pure tenderness.

After dinner, Bai Rong signed the contract. She sent a short text to Mr. Tang: Thank you, grandpa.

Mr. Tang was over the moon when he saw it. He couldn’t stop smiling.

Bai Rong had wanted to take a walk after dinner but eventually decided against it. Gu Mingchen must be exhausted today. They boarded the car that’d been sent for them.

On the way home, Gu Mingchen caressed her hands softly. “Are you tired today?”

Bai Rong shook her head as she giggled. “No, I didn’t have to use my brain.”

“When we’re home, you should put on a coat. I’ll take a walk with you. We shouldn’t waste the snow. We didn’t have any of that back on the island,” said Gu Mingchen gently.

“Aren’t you tired?” Bai Rong worried.

“I slept in this morning, so I’m not that tired.”

Bai Rong tittered. “Ok, then I’d love to take a walk.”

Bai Rong’s happiness lifted Gu Mingchen’s mood instantly.

Once they were home, he helped Bai Rong to put on a coat. They held hands as they ambled around the compound.

“How was work today? Did it go well?” asked Bai Rong.

“Yeah, they are all my ex-subordinates. Besides, with Leng Xiao around, everything went smoothly. We just had some meetings today. We’ve also planted the bait, so all that’s left to do is wait.”

“What about the thing you’ve agreed to let me do? Have you found someone suitable yet?”

“We’re still investigating some people. I’ll pass you the information once it’s organized. My father spent thirty years of his life on it for naught. We’ll have to be more cautious or we’ll just end up wasting our efforts,” advised Gu Mingchen.

“I understand,” Bai Rong replied with a smile, before grabbing some snow that had collected on a tree branch. She threw the snow at Gu Mingchen, but Gu Mingchen just stared at her calmly.

She’d wanted to engage him in a snowball fight, but he didn’t give her any reaction. As such, it made her seem childish, and she rubbed her hands together embarrassedly.

“Are you trying to start a snowball fight?” asked Gu Mingchen.

Bai Rong nodded.

“Do you remember how I taught you to shoot? Let’s see who has a better aim.” Gu Mingchen put on his hat and placed a snowball on it. He placed himself about ten meters away from her.

“I’m worried it’ll hit your face,” Bai Rong said nervously.

“Good, then you’ll have better aim. Let’s start.”
