You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351 No Wonder Bai Rong Rejected You

“Nian, what did Gu Mingchen mean by that?” Liu Yan asked in puzzlement.

Wu Nian shook her head.

Gu Mingchen hid his emotions so well that no matter how hard she tried, she could never get a read on him.

“What’s important now isn’t to figure out what he meant, but for us to carry out Plan B,” Wu Nian pointed out.

Liu Yan gathered herself together and hurriedly looked for Aaron.

Thankfully, Aaron was still in his seat.

Upon seeing them, Aaron walked toward Wu Nian and asked gently, “May I invite you to supper?”

Liu Yan looked at Wu Nian who simply nodded.

“What an honor for me,” Aaron said with a smile.

Liu Yan pulled Wu Nian along as they followed Aaron out. Just as they were about to reach the door, Su Xuyan darted out in front of Wu Nian. “Would you like to have supper together?”

“Sorry, she already has a date,” Liu Yan replied on behalf of Wu Nian and promptly pushed Su Xuyan away.

Su Xuyan squinted at Wu Nian’s silhouette as she walked away. The more he looked, the more he found it familiar. Not only did she resemble Bai Rong from the back, she even sounded and acted like her.

At that moment, Su Xuyan knew this was something he definitely had to look into.

Aaron happened to be staying at the hotel where the auction was held, so they went straight to the restaurant there.

“What would you like to eat?” Aaron asked as he handed Wu Nian the menu.

Instead of replying, Wu Nian passed the menu on to Liu Yan. “You can order the dishes.”

Aaron took a sip of his tea before looking back up at Wu Nian. “Can I ask for your number now?”

Instead of replying, Wu Nian very smoothly changed the subject. “Were you expecting the ‘Dream Girl’ to be sold at such a high price?”

“Yes, I expected it. After all, the bidders are both from A City. And only those who have worked with Mo Xue in A City would have an interest in this painting.”

With that, Wu Nian cut to the chase. “Then you should know our real reason for agreeing to this meal.”

To their surprise, Aaron laughed even more heartily. “Are you always this straightforward?”

“I just don’t see the need to put on a pretense in front of someone as smart as you. I’d be a hypocrite if I acted all friendly and clowned around while keeping my motive hidden. If you can help us, this meal will be on me. If you can’t, I can understand that too,” Wu Nian stated matter-of-factly.

“That shouldn’t be a problem. I can arrange for you to meet Stephen,” Aaron replied readily.

Wu Nian finally smiled and clinked her cup against Aaron’s. “Here’s my toast to you, with tea instead of wine.”
