You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354 Jealousy

It was a look of disdain.

Wu Nian averted her gaze as it dimmed.

“Why is he going too?” Liu Yan was taken aback and asked Aaron.

The man shook his head and said he had no idea.

“Hey, Gu Mingchen. Why are you going to see Stephen too?” Liu Yan went straight to the point.

The man merely cast a glance at her and said nothing, disregarding her question.

Liu Yan hated condescending men who thought they were high and mighty compared to others.

Irked, she deliberately posed a question to Wu Nian, “Nian, when are you getting married to Mr. Aaron?”

Wu Nian knew it was an attempt to aggravate Gu Mingchen. She thought better than to play along and make things worse. Hence, she merely said, “It’s still too early to say.”

“What early? You’re not getting any younger. Just get married if you’ve found the one,” Liu Yan egged her on.

“Liu Yan, quit joking around,” Wu Nian warned her in a low voice.

Noticing that she was getting angry, Liu Yan pouted and lowered her head, saying nothing.

An odd glint flashed across Gu Mingchen’s eyes as he gauged Wu Nian.

To his impression, Liu Yan had always been a fearless woman, and especially so after getting together with Shen Yiyan. Nobody could hold her wrath, except for Bai Rong.

He initially thought that Wu Nian was someone sent by Shen Yiyan. On second thought, if she were truly someone sent by the man, then she should have been all meek and submissive before Liu Yan. However, Wu Nian did not seem at all like Liu Yan’s subordinate with her sharp gaze and domineering vibe. The weirdest part was that Liu Yan had not even attempted to fight back.

Could she really be Bai Rong?

His heart skipped a beat as he did a double-take at Wu Nian’s eyes, nose, lips, and the contours of her face. She looks nothing like Bai Rong. How could she be Rong?

If according to Liu Yan, Rong should have been fully recovered by now. Why isn’t she coming to see me, and has even gotten together with Aaron?

A storm raged in Gu Mingchen’s heart as he tightened his fist. The man tried his best to hold everything in as he sounded Wu Nian out. “Stephen is living on an island. Does Ms. Wu have any experience living on a deserted island?”

Wu Nian shook her head. “Coldbridge City is not close to the sea. I don’t get the chance to go to the beach often either, much less living on a deserted island.”

“Ms. Wu, you’re a local here at Coldbridge City, right? Why don’t you sound at all like you’re from here though?” Gu Mingchen continued to probe.

“I grew up in an orphanage. We have kids from all over the country there. So I don’t get much chance to develop an accent,” Wu Nian explained, cool as a cucumber.

The man regarded her with an icy cold gaze.

Zhang Xingyu had just reported to him that she was not from the orphanage, and she had just appeared there a year before. I’m not buying this bald-faced lie.

“I’ve stayed at Coldbridge City for some time, and I gotta say I’ve developed quite an accent. What do you think about my accent right now?” Gu Mingchen asked.

Wu Nian smirked. “You’re missing a few inflections here and there.”

The man’s gaze dimmed as she pinpointed the erroneous mistakes in his accent as a true Coldbridge person would do. “Alright, forget about it,” the man said resignedly.

“Well, it’s not your accent, to begin with. Might as well move on from it.” The undertones were apparent in her words.

“I can forget about an accent that doesn’t belong to me. But some people, my people especially, I cannot and will never forget,” Gu Mingchen replied in a low voice.

“Are you talking about your ex-wife, Mr. Gu?” Wu Nian asked with a straight face.

“She’s my only wife.” Gu Mingchen corrected her.

Wu Nian said nothing as she kept her gaze low.
