You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 329

Chapter 329 Is She Bai Rong

Wu Nian met Gu Mingchen’s puzzled gaze.

His eyes widened in shock when he saw Liu Yan next to her. A frown creased his handsome features.

Feeling guilty, Wu Nian evaded his stare and looked at her friend instead, who was chuckling away.

“What a coincidence. This is what we call destiny,” Liu Yan lowered her voice and teased. “I have to say I’m not surprised we ran into him here during the weekend. A lot of rich people have been flocking here after it got famous last year.”

Liu Yan maintained a polite smile on her face as she spoke. “Anyway, should we go over and say hi? His friends are there though, so things might get a little awkward. Let’s just grab some food and sit further away.” Liu Yan tugged Wu Nian by her arm as they headed toward the left-most corner.

A playful smile broke out on Liu Yan’s face as she recalled Gu Mingcheng’s face. “He looked so confused back there. He must be wondering how we know each other and why we’re here together.”

Wu Nian nodded in agreement as her eyes darted around. “Just act normal and do as we planned earlier,” she said, getting up to get some steak.

While she was waiting for the steak she ordered, Wu Nian sensed an intense presence approaching from behind. She knew who it was even without looking.

She straightened her back in alarm. Calm down, Bai Rong. Don’t turn around.

Liu Yan is your only friend and you hang out with her a lot. It’s just a matter of time before he finds out about it. Calm down!

Wu Nian sucked in a breath of cold air as she tried to calm her nerves.

“Hi. I can’t believe we met here,” Gu Mingchen’s voice came from behind her.

Wu Nian turned around slowly and feigned surprise. “Hi, Mr. Gu. What a coincidence.”

“The woman who came with you is your friend?”

“Yeah. Come to think of it, I’m so glad I met her. She’s been looking out for me ever since I came to A City.”

“But she didn’t help you get a job?” Gu Mingchen’s question was sharp and to the point.

“Oh, she asked me to work as a housemaid at her place, but I don’t feel comfortable working for a friend so I turned her down,” Wu Nian answered calmly. She took a quick look at the chef and changed the topic abruptly. “Medium well and not too much pepper. Thanks!”

“About yesterday… I must have drunk a lot… I hope you’re not bothered by what I said,” Gu Mingchen said carefully.

Wu Nian waved her hand lightly and smiled. “It’s okay, I understand. I knew you had too much booze when you mistook me for someone named Bai Rong yesterday. Speaking of, you should really cut down on your alcohol. Too much is not good for you.”

“I’ll try,” Gu Mingchen replied with a nod as he handed his plate to the chef. “A filet mignon, please.”

Silence fell between the two after that.

Wu Nian looked around restlessly as they stood there quietly. Gu Mingchen’s breathing was beating on her neck and it was making her disconcerted.

The silence dragged on painfully. Wu Nian tousled her hair and let out a brief sigh.
