You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388 Locking The Door Will Get You Into Trouble My Dear

I can’t drag him into my mess right after sleeping with him.

Wu Nian inhaled deeply and said, “Mr. Gu.”

“What did you call me?” Gu Mingchen frowned.

“There’s no need to get mad at me. You promised that you’d keep this between the two of us, so I don’t see a problem with this form of address,” she retorted.

Gu Mingchen softened his tone as he explained, “I’ll be mindful when there are others around, but right now, it’s just the two of us. Don’t you think this form of address makes us sound like we’re strangers to each other? It makes me feel like there’s a huge gap between us.”

Wu Nian found herself nodding in agreement before changing the form of address. “Mingchen, you’ve misunderstood that matter regarding Liu Yan. It’s not like that. Ever since she got together with Shen Yiyan, she and her family had a falling-out. Anyway, don’t intervene in this matter. After all, whoever started it should end it as well.”

“Really? Then, why did you approach Aaron?” Gu Mingchen was slightly doubtful.

“Shen Yiyan told us to look for Aaron if we failed to get that painting at the auction because he and Stephen are close friends. It just so happened that I saved Aaron’s life on the flight here, so I approached him to ask if he could take us to the island.” Wu Nian omitted the rest of the details.

“Well, you’ve been on the island and Aaron is also back in his country now. He even has a fiancée, so it’s best that you don’t contact him anymore,” Gu Mingchen stated.

Wu Nian averted her gaze. “I’m tired. I’m gonna sleep for a bit.”

Seeing as she had closed her eyes, Gu Mingchen say nothing more.

Feeling uneasy, she turned around so that her back was facing him.

Now that things have turned out this way between Gu Mingchen and me, I can’t drag Aaron along and make him wait for nothing. But there are still some things I need his help with.

She initially thought that sleep wouldn’t come to her, but she slept straight until the sun came up the next day, waking up only when someone opened the door.

“Hey, what are the two of you doing in here?” demanded the cleaning staff.

When memories of what they did the previous night flooded Wu Nian’s mind, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. From the look in the cleaning staff’s eyes, Wu Nian could tell she had guessed what transpired here.

Gu Mingchen took out a hundred from his wallet and handed it to the cleaning staff. “We were accidentally locked up here yesterday. Keep this matter between us.”

The cleaning staff accepted the money and readily agreed, “Sure.”

Gu Mingchen pulled Wu Nian up and walked toward the exit with her hand in his.

She subconsciously drew her hand out, to which Gu Mingchen glanced at her.

“It’s still early. I don’t think Stephen is awake yet. I’ll book a room here for you to rest while I go out and buy you some clothes.”

“The malls aren’t open this early. I’ll go back first to pack my luggage since I’m returning to the country after the negotiation tomorrow,” Wu Nian rejected his offer with her head bowed.

“You should still rest. You got up so early yesterday to send Liu Yan off and slept so late last night. Look at how prominent your dark circles are. Besides, if Mo Xue calls Stephen while you’re back at the manor, there’d be a few hours delay. It’s not a good idea to make Mo Xue wait,” Gu Mingchen said gently.

Seeing as this was a losing battle, Wu Nian relented. “I’ll book a room myself.”

Gu Mingchen didn’t try to push it.

While booking a room at the front desk, Wu Nian’s phone pinged with a message. She fished it out and saw that it was from the bank, notifying her that ten million had been transferred into her account.

Right then, Gu Mingchen’s message came in: Tell me if it’s not enough.

Looking at the message, Wu Nian was at a loss for words as the man was standing right beside her.

Wu Nian: I already have enough money. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to take yours. I’ll return it to you after I go back.

Gu Mingchen: How much savings can a tutor at an orphanage have? The cheapest room here is more than three thousand. Where did you get so much money?

Wu Nian pursed her lips and glanced at Gu Mingchen.
