You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 68

Bai Rong was ashamed by those words, especially knowing that Gu Mingchen had heard them.

On second thought, so what if he heard them! Her good impression was long ruined in the eyes of Gu Mingchen.

The Su Family stood up to welcome Gu Mingchen and his family, except for Su Xuyan. Like the rebellious man he was, he remained lazily seated on the sofa while staring at Gu Mingchen with a cold smirk.

“After so many invitations, finally we get to have a meal together. Come in and have a seat.” Su Wanning’s father, Su Zheng shook Gu Tianhang’s hands heavily as he welcomed them with delight.

“I have been busy all this time, so today I immediately came over the moment I’m free.” Gu Tianhang smiled cordially.

“Your visit is a pleasure for me!” Su Zheng led the way.

The group of people began to take their seats at the round table while the mothers nodded their heads at each other as a sign of greeting.

Su Zheng was seated on the head of the table. To his right, it was Gu Tianhang, Gu Mingchen’s mother, Gu Mingchen, Su Wanning, Xiong Daini, Bai Rong, Su Xuyan, Su Junhao and Su Wanning’s mother respectively.

After sitting down, only then Gu Tianhang noticed Bai Rong’s presence.

He had seen her before back at the Military Base, which was why he was surprised to see her here. “You’re…..”

Su Xuyan placed his hands on Bai Rong’s shoulders as he introduced with a smile. “My wife.”

“Oh.” Gu Tianhang smiled as he nodded in understanding. “Not bad, not bad.”

Gu Mingchen directed his chilly gaze towards Bai Rong. She had lowered her eyes and refused to have eye contact with anyone, hence no one could see the emotions whirling in her eyes.

“Uncle, how’s the doctor recruitment for the Special Forces Military Base? I’ve been waiting for the confirmation for a long time.” Su Wanning asked sweetly as she linked her hands on Gu Mingchen’s arm.

Bai Rong’s eyes flickered at the sight. Gu Mingchen did not reject the girl beside him at all. The poor doctor could only swallow her saliva bitterly.

Su Wanning’s family had employed a professional chef for their gathering. His assistant was pouring a glass of Brandy for each of them.

“This is not up to me. Mingchen is the one who makes the decisions. He’s the Chief at the Special Forces Military Base after all; he won’t even take my orders.” Gu Tianhang joked.

“Mingchen, you should get this done as soon as possible, then you can spend more time with Wanning. This girl has been nagging at me day and night on this matter.” Gu Mingchen’s mother smiled in answer.

Bai Rong couldn’t help but turn to look at Gu Mingchen’s mother.

His mother was a very beautiful lady, elegant and noble looking. With her hair up in a bun, the lady also exuded a smart and capable appearance. Her eyes were sharp but wise with years of experience in dealing with people.

Appearance wise, Gu Mingchen looked very much like his mother.

“Hmm.” Gu Mingchen hummed in reply as he sipped on his Brandy, his face void of reaction.

“Just now my sister-in-law had been telling me about Wanning’s boyfriend and describing how outstanding he is like he belongs to heaven. Now that I finally met him, he’s indeed one of a kind. Cheers!” Xiong Daini held up her glass in a toasting gesture towards Gu Mingchen.

Gu Mingchen returned the gesture while he side-eyed Bai Rong discreetly.

Bai Rong was still hanging her head low as Su Xuyan placed a beef tenderloin in her plate.

“You’re overpraising him! By the way, is this your son?” Gu Mingchen’s mother turned to Su Xuyan.

“Yes, he’s Xuyan, currently the Deputy Director at the Ministry of Health. He’s more on the naughty side.” Xiong Daini replied proudly.
