You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398 I Know You Are Bai Rong

Gu Mingchen did not call during the day, so Wu Nian gave him a call in the evening when she returned to the hotel Aaron had arranged for her.

“Hey.” Wu Nian spoke first.

“Yes,” Gu Mingchen acknowledged.

“I’ve settled my issue,” she informed him.

“Okay,” was his casual and short reply.

“All right, then I shall see you tomorrow in Pillere.”

“Got it.” Gu Mingchen hung up.

A weird feeling arose in her as if her heart was burdened by a heavy rock.

She wanted to dial his number again but did not know what else to say. After all, she was not very good with her words.

Putting her phone aside, she went to take a shower. Right then, she recalled an article she had read before and felt that it was a piece of timely advice.

The gist of the article revolves around three words of wisdom from a boss to his employee who’s worked for him for three years.

The first piece of advice being there is no such thing as a free lunch. Don’t attempt to look for shortcuts.

Second, curiosity kills the cat, especially if it’s not something beneficial.

Third, don’t make any decisions rashly. Otherwise, one will regret it forever.

The man didn’t take a shortcut on his way home. Instead, he chose the main route which was filled with passersby. When he heard a lady was running amok in the hotel he was staying in, he locked himself in the room whereas others who went to check the ruckus out were killed by the lady. When he got home and heard a man’s voice, he didn’t act recklessly and hurt his wife. As it turns out, the man was his grown-up son.

Wu Nian turned off the shower.

She decided not to call Gu Mingchen even though he sounded unhappy. Worst case scenario, I’ll break up with him as per the original plan.

I should calm down and live every day to the fullest. This is best for everyone.

After showering, she switched off her phone and went straight to bed.

Some time later, she was awoken by the door bell.

Switching on the bedside lamp, she put on the disposable hotel slippers and took a peek at the peephole, only to find Gu Mingchen standing at the door.

Baffled, she opened it. “Why are you here?”

Reeking of alcohol, he entered the room, shut the door, and immediately pinned her against the wall before kissing her passionately.

She tried to push him away but he was too strong. He locked her in position with a tight grip on her waist as she struggled to gasp for air.

He domineeringly orchestrated each move with passion, making it irresistible for her. After half an hour, he gradually stopped all of his amorous advances.

Gu Mingchen carried her into the bathroom to wash up. No one spoke a word.

He’s obviously drunk and isn’t ready to hear me out. This isn’t going too great.

He freshened himself up and handed a towel over to her.

Wu Nian snatched the towel from him and subsequently tossed it on the floor.

He cast a sharp gaze at her in response before he spun on his heels and went out of the bathroom.

Wu Nian remained silent and continued her bubble bath for another half an hour. When she came out, he was still around.

Ignoring him, she lay on the bed with her back facing him and shut her eyes.

When she was about to doze off, she felt her side of the bed sank and she was held by an outstretched arm.

She turned her head and was met with his intense gaze. Feeling a pang of sadness, she questioned, “Don’t you think that you’re too full of yourself?”

“Yup,” he responded.
