You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356 I Am Bai Rong

Wu Nian jumped and stumbled backward, knocking her head against the wall.

Gu Mingchen did not hesitate and trapped her against the wall before pressing his lips forcibly against hers. His kiss was deep and desperate as if he were a wild beast.

Trying to resist, Wu Nian used all the strength that she had to push him away.

However, the harder she struggled, the closer he would press against her. Wu Nian felt like a little boat on the brink of sinking in the treacherous stormy seas.

She panicked and bit Gu Mingchen’s tongue.

A piercing sense of pain woke him up from his trance.

Staring at Wu Nian with bloodshot eyes, he seemed to be in agony.

What’s with me?

Why did I just kiss her like that?

She’s not Bai Rong!

As a devastating wave of regret overwhelmed his brain, he threw a heavy punch against the wall “Get the f*ck out,” he snarled.

Wu Nian hastily wiped off the blood on her lips and hurried off into the living room.

Upon seeing Wu Nian’s pale face, Liu Yan immediately came over. Kneeling before her, she asked, “Nian, are you okay?”

Wu Nian was still trembling uncontrollably. She was unsure if it was out of anger, fear, or something else. No matter how much she wanted to deny it, she felt a stinging numbness in her heart when she saw Gu Mingchen’s despondent face.

“I’m fine. Yan, I don’t have any more business with Gu Mingchen. Please don’t arrange for us to meet or anything from now on,” Wu Nian said softly with tears sparkling in her eyes.

“Oh… Okay, I understand. I’m sorry,” Liu Yan replied.

Liu Yan also began to regret telling Gu Mingchen that Wu Nian was actually Bai Rong. She had hoped that his attitude toward her would change for the better after hearing the truth, but Gu Mingchen only seemed more provoked due to his distrust toward the two of them. In the end, Bai Rong was the one suffering the most.

“I won’t get you involved with him ever again, I promise.”

After the episode, Gu Mingchen did not enter the living room for the entire journey.

That came as a relief for Wu Nian. Staying in the same space as him would feel suffocating, stressful, and awkward.

When they alighted the steamship, there were two cars prepared by Stephen, which were on stand-by to pick them up. Wu Nian, Liu Yan, and Aaron boarded the same car.

It took roughly ten minutes to arrive at Stephen’s villa.

The villa resembled a grandiose castle- robust high walls enclosed the majestic main building, and the electric barbed wires on the fencing formed a strong barricade against unwanted personnel. Two security guards were stationed at each vantage point.

“Are artists usually this rich?” Liu Yan raised an eyebrow at Wu Nian.

“Stephen’s family used to run a jewelry business, and he only became an artist to pursue his personal passions. After inheriting the family business, he promptly passed it down to his daughter. All in all, he owns sufficient assets to live such a lifestyle,” Aaron explained.

Nodding, Wu Nian said, “Oh, is that so. Well, that does sound like something an oddball like him would do.”

“He used to have a son too. Due to an unfortunate accident, his son drowned, and now his two daughters are sharing the family inheritance equally. However, Stephen doesn’t really care about all of that. He’s just really single-minded about painting, you know?” Aaron continued.

“Yan, try to criticize his art more. You may get a pleasant surprise,” Wu Nian suggested.

“Huh?” Liu Yan scratched her head. “O-okay. By the way, there seems to be a lot of people in there.”

Wu Nian had also noticed the considerable number of guests at the villa. A sense of unease began creeping up her spine. “I wonder if they are guests like us or residents of the island. They don’t look like residents to me.”
