You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 166

Bai Rong knew he had misunderstood.

“I was talking about you and your fiancée.” She regretted the words the moment she spoke.

He would eventually have a child with his fiancée.

Was she going to forbid them from having children?

Gu Mingchen had a faraway look as he stared at her silently.

She could not bring herself to meet his gaze. The conversation had taken an awkward turn and she did not know how to dig herself out of this hole.

Gu Mingchen released her.

Bai Rong immediately stood up, putting two meters between them just in case.

Maybe it was because of her lack of lunch combined with vigorous activity, her stomach chose that moment to let out a loud gurgle.

Gu Mingchen understood immediately. “You haven’t eaten yet?”

Bai Rong could not deny this. “I left in a hurry and didn’t get the chance to.”

Gu Mingchen issued an order into his phone. “Go to the dining room and get the chef to prepare four dishes then send it over.”

Gu Mingchen looked towards Bai Rong. “Any specific order?”

Bai Rong was craving for something heavier on the palate. “Do they have Chopped Bell Pepper Fish Head, Mala Chicken or Duck’s Blood?”

Gu Mingchen’s eyebrows raised quizzically. “You like spicy food?”

Bai Rong shook her head. “Just craving for it now.”

“Ask them to prepare Chopped Bell Pepper Fish Head, Mala Chicken and Duck’s Blood.” He hung up after dispensing short instructions.

Bai Rong plopped down on the sofa to wait for the food to arrive.

Gu Mingchen did not speak either, turning back to this computer.

Bai Rong felt slightly bored and began to lazily scroll through her phone. The silence that enveloped them was tranquil and peaceful.

Gu Mingchen glanced at her and she appeared to be lost in thought.

A piece of news caught Bai Rong’s eye.

It wrote that the police had found and saved two hundred children in Dragon City. They were calling for the parents to come and claim the children.

She felt a twinge of sadness.

If she and Gu Mingchen’s child was still alive, he would be about five this year. Could any of those rescued children be her baby?

Su Xuyan said that he had found a lead but three years had passed and there was no new information. If he had uncovered anything, given his personality, he would have come knocking on her door long ago.

“Isn’t Dragon City near Pingyan City?” Bai Rong asked Gu Mingchen.

She had been so deep in thought that she did not notice that Gu Mingchen had been watching her.

Even if she did notice, he was such an enigma that she couldn’t have seen through his thoughts anyway.

“It would probably take about half an hour by high-speed rail. What about it?” Gu Mingchen asked her back.

She nodded. After she was done with this case, she wanted to hop over to Dragon City’s Public Security Bureau and try her luck. “Just asking.”

Gu Mingchen returned to his computer when Bai Rong spaced out on the sofa.

When her baby was born, he had not looked much like her.

Gu Mingchen was the baby’s father so maybe he looked more like him?

Right then, someone knocked on their door.

Bai Rong was thrown back into reality and went to open the door.

A soldier carried several dishes in.

Gu Mingchen closed his laptop and placed it on the coffee table, leaving the dining table empty. “Bring us two drinks.” He instructed the soldier.

“Do they have beer?” Bai Rong asked the soldier.

The man looked at Gu Mingchen.
