You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 I Am Not Dying Until You Do

Liu Yan left for the airport at eight. Shen Yiyan’s private jet had docked at the private airport.

Wu Nian went to see them off.

Liu Yan was reluctant to leave her. She gave her instructions again. “Remember, it doesn’t matter if you can’t strike a deal with her. Shen Yiyan has promised to give me a week off to travel. It’s not much, but there’s still enough time to run away. So don’t force yourself. Come back soon.”

Wu Nian grinned back at her. “I know. You have to be careful, too. I don’t think Shen Yiyan’s men have the guts to kill you, but there may be others out to get you.”

Liu Yan shrugged. “Anyway, I’m leaving soon. Those people came because of Shen Yiyan. I’ll be safe after I leave him.”

“Best of luck!” Wu Nian wished her in a gentle voice.

Liu Yan turned to leave, walked a few steps, before looking back at Wu Nian.

Wu Nian was smarter and more sensible than her, and she was much better at putting pieces together. Liu Yan had little to worry about, but somehow, she just felt anxious about the whole thing.

Wu Nian waved at Liu Yan as the latter boarded the plane.

She watched Liu Yan’s plane take off before she turned around and left the airport.

In the afternoon, she went to the beauty salon.

Ai Wei’er had invited upper-class socialites to her birthday party, whereas she was attending the event mainly to discuss a collaboration with the woman. It would not do if she went in shabby clothes.

It took her a whole afternoon but she eventually got her hair done and put on exquisite makeup. The princess dress she got for the party was a bright saffron color, the style of which left her fair nape exposed to display the diamond necklace she bought that day.

She attended the party at six o’clock.

Wu Nian thought she was early, but it seemed a crowd of fifty had already arrived.

She instinctively searched for Gu Mingchen and Stephen.

However, she could not locate either of them. Mo Xue was nowhere to be seen as well.

She approached Ai Wei’er and presented the LV bag to her. “Happy birthday!”

But Ai Wei’er was arrogant as always, and she was evidently disinterested in her. She passed the bag to the maid next to her and greeted Wu Nian lazily, “Help yourself.”

Wu Nian nodded. She fetched a glass of wine and went to stand in a corner. Men came to strike up a conversation with her but she rejected them all.

More and more people entered the banquet hall. Wu Nian had yet to spot either Gu Mingchen or Stephen. Thus, she decided to wait outside.

Just then, an elegantly dressed lady walked out from the private room next to theirs. She was talking excitedly on the phone, “Xuyan, where are you? Okay… I’m coming now.”

Xuyan? Does she mean Su Xuyan?

Wu Nian recalled how confident Su Xuyan had been the other day. Strung by curiosity, she trailed behind the lady.

She saw the lady enter the parking lot and into a black Maybach.

Suspicious, Wu Nian bent over and approached the car quietly.

“Oh… Xuyan, be gentle.”

Wu Nian blushed when she heard the voice. She glanced at the Maybach, which was rocking up and down.

Still bending over, she hung her head and was about to leave when a pair of bright, leather shoes entered her line of vision.

She lifted her head, still blushing, and found herself face to face with Gu Mingchen.

“What are you doing here?” he asked her quizzically.

“Um…” Wu Nian could not find the words. “See for yourself.”

“See what?” Gu Mingchen responded in confusion.

Wu Nian pushed him away and walked into the hotel.

Gu Mingchen looked toward the parking lot, took note of the horribly shaking car, and understood at once. His Adam’s apple bopped up and down provocatively before he turned around and entered the hotel.
