You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357 Who Is Sleeping With Who

When Liu Yan told him that she was Bai Rong, he simply ignored her words.

He had no trust in them. Even if Wu Nian were acquainted with Xia He, it would not necessarily mean that she was indeed Bai Rong, or so he had thought.

However, the facts laid out before him were cruel but absolute. Only Bai Rong, Xia He, and himself knew about what happened at Tangqian Village.

No one but the three of them would know about the incident to such fine details.

Unless the two of them conspired all of this in advance and purposely played out that scene in front of me.

Gu Mingchen quickly dismissed that thought. There’s no way that they knew I’d be hiding in the dark listening to them.

Before Xia He could walk off, Gu Mingchen jumped out from the darkness and blocked her way.

Xia He frowned. “Gu Mingchen, are you really going to doubt on me like this when Zhou Hailan isn’t dead? Why would I still be hiding here and working as a maid if I really were the spy? I would have been having the time of my life abroad! Zhou Hailan has betrayed us!”

“I’m not going to jump to conclusions just because of this. Neither you nor Zhou Hailan can be trusted. Even if I were to do one-on-one interrogations, I wouldn’t arrive at an answer that I would be satisfied with.” Gu Mingchen walked a little closer to Xia He. “I have a task for you. Should you do it well, I’ll leave you alone as long as you stay on this island,” he said in a low voice.

“What do you want from me?” Xia He asked.

“Ask Wu Nian this question. Are the oranges in Tangqian Village sweet or sour?” Gu Mingchen said.

“Why?” Xia He blinked.

“There’s no need for you to know. Just ask her the question as it is. And one more thing…” Gu Mingchen looked down, a spark flashing across his eyes. “Ask her about her habits in bed. Her habits in bed when she’s with me.”

“You’re trying to test her? Are you trying to figure out her true identity?” Xia He saw right through him.

“Just do as I say. And don’t mention anything about our conversation here,” Gu Mingchen said coldly. Before Xia He could say anything else, he turned around and strode off.

Xia He could feel the corners of her mouth twitching. “Hmph. Gu Mingchen, you’ve made me suffer for too many years. Do you want to know who she really is? I’m not going to let you.”

Back at the main hall with all the guests, dinner had finally begun.

Stephen prepared a large round table, and a total of twelve people were sat around it.

“Oh, by the way, my butler informed me that it would be a little difficult to arrange individual rooms for everyone, with the bedrooms for the housemaids excluded. You guys will probably have to share rooms amongst yourselves. So, who’s sleeping with who?”

“I’ll sleep with my husband, am the kids can sleep with you,” Stephen’s eldest daughter said to him.

“Alright, alright. There are three more rooms. How do you guys want to share them?” Stephen turned to Gu Mingchen.

“My friend and her boyfriend can stay in a room. As for the rest, the ladies can take one room, and the gentlemen here can take the last. How does that sound?” Stephen’s second daughter suggested.

“I’m not used to sleeping with others. There is a bedroom on the steamship. I can sleep there for the night,” Gu Mingchen said quietly.

“Great! And since Wu Nian and Aaron are a couple, they can share a room too,” Liu Yan quickly added.

Upon hearing those words, Gu Mingchen’s expression instantly darkened. He glared at Liu Yan and then stared at Aaron intently. “I remember that there are two bedrooms on the steamship.”

“I don’t think I can sleep on the ship. I’ll get seasick,” Aaron replied curtly.

Gu Mingchen narrowed his eyes. “Hmph. I think you’re right. In that case, I’ll just make do with sharing a room with you for the night.”

“Mr. Gu, Aaron and Wu Nian are a couple. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for them to have a room together? On that note, this living room sofa seems perfect for you.” Liu Yan looked really grumpy.

“Well, I think it wouldn’t be good to let my special guest sleep in the living room! Okay, how about I get them to set up a bed in the study? My eldest daughter and her husband can sleep there instead,” Stephen said merrily.
