You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340 Are You Concerned

“What’s the matter?” Liu Yan asked perplexedly.

“901, Wisteria Court 82 is where Gu Mingchen stays,” Wu Nian uttered as she felt her own heart racing. In her mind, she suddenly recalled the person she saw at the staircase. Agitated, she got out of bed and called Gu Mingchen instinctively.

She wanted to know if they were safe.

Just as the phone started beeping, she remembered what Gu Mingchen said to her. It’s none of your business!

So she hung up right away.

Not only would Gu Mingchen refuse to tell her, but he would also ridicule and suspect her.

Should I call Yanny?

But if Yanny is with Gu Mingchen, he’ll find out about it.

Just then, her phone started ringing.

Seeing that it was a call from Gu Mingchen, she was so alarmed that she could even feel her own back stiffened. Before answering it, she swallowed a lump in her throat.

“What is it?” Gu Mingchen asked in a dispassionate tone. His voice was deep and hushed as if he had been suppressing his anger. The atmosphere from over the phone seemed to be exceedingly gloomy.

“Well… Have you found the owner of the earrings?” Wu Nian simply asked a question.

“It belongs to the girl staying opposite. She left it here accidentally when she came visiting last time,” Gu Mingchen said in his deep voice.

“I see,” Wu Nian answered and looked down as she remembered the pretty girl who stayed opposite Gu Mingchen’s house.

It seems like they’re very close together since she even visited his room.

“Is there anything else you want to say? I’ll hang up if there’s none,” Gu Mingchen replied coldly and harshly.

Wu Nian could sense the impatience in his voice.

Seeing as she had already gotten on his nerves, she wasn’t worried about making him suspicious anymore. “I saw the news of a fire at your house on the television. Is everyone okay?”

“First of all, my house catching fire has nothing to do with you. Secondly, don’t you think you’ve crossed the line by being overly concerned about my family? Even if there’s a fire in my house, the safety of my family members is none of your business,” Gu Mingchen replied indifferently.

Wu Nian tightened her grip on her phone and took a few deep breaths.

She knew that was the kind of answer she would get by calling Gu Mingchen.

He shouldn’t have reacted with such an attitude if he had just thought about her kindness toward him when she told him that he was being surveilled.

Nevertheless, how things were supposed to be didn’t matter as much as how one wanted them to be in this world.

“Indeed, talking to you is a waste of time.” Wu Nian hung up on him directly and threw her phone on the bed.

Looking at Wu Nian, Liu Yan asked, “Did Gu Mingchen get your goat? It seems that he’s still the same old him. When I was in the military base, I would always make a detour when I saw him. He’s known for his crankiness, which is why I totally don’t get how you would end up in a relationship with such a man. He’s nowhere near being gentle.”

Wu Nian lowered her gaze as the images of him risking his own life to rescue her and smiling at her flashed across her mind. Thinking of these, her emotion stabilized by degrees.

“He treats me quite well,” Wu Nian replied softly as she sat down next to Liu Yan.

“Ha.” Liu Yan let out a sardonic laugh as a sign of denial and wrapped her arm on Wu Nian’s shoulder as she added bluntly, “That’s because you’ve met Su Xuyan, who was even meaner. Hence, any man who’s a wee bit better than Su Xuyan would give you a not-too-bad impression.”

Wu Nian’s eyes turned misty all of a sudden as she lay down on the bed, staring at the white ceiling.

Is it because I’ve not seen Gu Mingchen for too long?

So long that I can’t even remember how we’ve fallen for one another.
