You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364 We Are Family

Wu Nian got up from the bed as quietly as she could and crept toward the door.

Since there was no en-suite bathroom, she had to go out of the study to freshen herself up.

When she opened the door, her eyes met the eyes of Gu Mingchen.

She was taken aback, not sure what was going on. “Hello?”

Ignoring her greeting, the man handed her two sets of disposable toothpaste and toothbrushes.

She looked at the toiletries in his hand, and a strange feeling washed over her. Such things should be given to me by Stephen’s housekeeper, not him.

“You don’t need these?” Gu Mingchen grew a little impatient when she did not take the things in his hand.

His voice was deep and husky, sounding similar to a cello. It was very pleasing to the ears.

She promptly took the toiletries over and said respectfully, “Thank you, Mr. Gu.”

“Since you’re now hired as my children’s home tutor, you’re considered a part of the family now. You don’t need to be so polite.” With that, the man turned around and left.

Family? She looked at his tall and muscular figure. I guess it’s good to be family in this way.

After she collected herself, she headed to the bathroom to brush her teeth and shower. By the time she was done, Liu Yan had also gotten up.

The woman’s eyes were red and puffy from crying last night. She was clearly still muzzy from sleep.

Wu Nian grinned at her disheveled look as she handed her the toiletries and teased, “Take a look at your hair. It’s as messy as a pigpen. Are you sure you’re not a boy?”

Guffawing at her joke, Liu Yan seemed to have forgotten their sentimentality last night. “Oh, how I wish I were male! I wouldn’t have to worry about taming my mane every day. Hahaha.”

“If you were a boy, I’m sure you would be the most sought-after bachelor,” Wu Nian said jokingly.

Putting her arm around Wu Nian’s shoulder, Liu Yan wagged her eyebrows suggestively. “It’s okay, my love. You would be the one I marry.”

“Hahaha. Sure.” Wu Nian chuckled joyfully. But behind her cheerful facade, sorrow lingered in her heart.

Liu Yan went to the bathroom to wash and tidy up her messy hair while Wu Nian headed downstairs.

When Xia He was bringing out the breakfast, she caught sight of Wu Nian and said, “Stephen has sent someone out, and the ship will be here by the afternoon at the latest.”

Wu Nian nodded. “Thank you.”

“Come and have your breakfast first. Stephen has told me to take you guys around the island.” She put the bowl in front of her.

“He is too kind. Thank you,” Wu Nian said courteously.

“He has always been a warm-hearted man.”

An hour later, Liu Yan joined Wu Nian for breakfast together.

Glancing around, the former found no one other than the two of them. “How strange! There are only the two of us here. Where are the others?”

“They’re probably busy with other things. I bet some are still sleeping,” Wu Nian replied.

A moment later, Liu Yan glanced towards the stairs and grinned. “Your boyfriend is here. Oh, he’s so dashing. Such a feast for the eyes.”

Wu Nian chuckled in response. Before she could turn her head around to look at Aaron, he had leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. “Morning, my dear.”

“Uh…” Wu Nian felt a little uncomfortable with the intimacy. Mm, but I guess cheek kissing is nothing but a greeting etiquette for him as a Ustranasion.
