You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 324
Chapter 324 The Wicked Woman
“Yanny,e here!” Gu Mingchen called out.
Gu Yan halted in his steps before stering an uneasy smile on his face. Feeling nervous, the boy
wrung his hands. “Daddy, what is it?”
“Xin and his Mommy are staying here tonight, so you’re going to be sleeping with me,” said Gu
Mingchen in a gentle voice.
“Okay. I’ll go eat my dumplings.” With that, Gu Yan fled to the kitchen before he could say anything
more.
Seeing that, Gu Mingchen couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Wu Nian served Gu Yan the dumplings. Then, she put twenty more
dumplings into the pot.
Gu Yan licked his lips while looking at the dumplings in anticipation. “Nian, can I start eating?”
“Sure. Be careful, the dumplings are still hot. Do you want some sugar and vinegar?” Wu Nian asked.
“Yes!”
Wu Nian fetched Gu Yan a sauce te of vinegar. Thetter’s cheeks puffed up after taking a mouthful
of the dumpling. “Yummy! This is the most delicious dumpling I’ve ever had. I can eat nothing but
dumplings for a hundred years!”
Wu Nuan was amused as she let out a chuckle. Yanny is simply adorable.
Inexplicably, her tears started to flow. She quickly turned around to hide her teary eyes from the boy.
Yet Gu Yan’s sharp eyes missed nothing. “Nian, why are you crying? Did my Daddy bully you?”
Wu Nian randomly came up with an excuse. “No. It’s just that my waist was scalded just now, and now
it hurts.”
“Let me apply ointment for you.” Feeling worried, Gu Yan ced his bowl down and took the ointment
on the kitchen cab. Then, he carefully lifted the edge of Wu Nian’s shirt. “Nian, there’s a bruise!”
Wu Nuan consoled him, “It’s fine. It’ll heal in a few days.”
Standing by the door, Gu Mingchen furrowed his brows at the sight of the bruise. “It’s a rather serious
injury. You’d better go to the hospital.”
Wu Nian was quick to reject, “There’s no need. It’s just a superficial wound.”
“Then you should at least treat it with hot hard-boiled eggs to help with the swelling. It’ll heal faster,” Gu
Mingchen said seriously while he entered the kitchen.
Wu Nian nodded politely. “Alright. I’ll do that when I go home.”
“They’re not eating. You need only cook yours and mine,” Gu Mingchen instructed. Then, he grabbed
Gu Yan’s bowl and said, “Come, let’s eat outside.”
“Alright.” Gu Yan followed suit as his father walked out of the kitchen.
After Gu Mingchen ced his bowl on the dining table, Gu Yan took a seat and started digging in.

Staring at Gu Yan, Gu Mingchen’s eyes flickered as his mind wandered. If Bai Rong was here, she
would definitely do better than me when ites to interacting with our son. Being a man of few words,
I have no idea how to get closer to him.
Just then, Wu Nian ced a sauce te of vinegar in front of him.
He shifted his gaze to her.
“Mr. Gu, the dumplings are ready. How many do you want?” Wu Nian asked politely.
Gu Mingchen ordered, “Ten. Come and join us at the dining table.”
Wu Nian re-entered the kitchen and filled two bowls with dumplings, ten in each. Then, she served one
bowl to Gu Mingchen before taking a seat opposite Gu Yan.
Gu Yan cast his gaze at Gu Mingchen and then at Wu Nian. The three of us look like a family. It’s just
like Daddy, Mommy, and me having dinner together.
Gu Yan’s spirits lifted at the thought. Keeping his head down, he pursed his lips to suppress his smile,
afraid that anyone would find out about his wishful thinking.
Right then, Gu Ruoxin came out of his room and saw the three of them having dumplings together. His
face darkened as he scolded, “Who are you to eat at the dining table? You’re only a housemaid, and
you have no right to eat at the dining table!”
Gu Mingchen admonished, “Xin, don’t be rude! Ms. Wu is a tutor whom I hired, and she takes care of
you voluntarily. She’s not a housemaid.”
Gu Ruoxin blustered, “I have Mommy so I don’t need another woman to take care of me! If you insist
on letting this woman be my tutor, I won’t go to school starting from tomorrow. I don’t want her to teach
me either. I will lie in bed, doing nothing.”
Hearing that, Gu Mingchen’s anger spiked. Staring fiercely at Gu Ruoxin, he asked, “Are you
threatening me?”
“That’s not what Xin meant.” Zhou Han rushed out of the room and pulled Gu Ruoxin into her arms.
She pleaded, “He’s still young, and it’s understandable for a child his age to be impulsive. Let me talk
to him.”
With that, she took Gu Ruoxin into the room.
Gu Mingchen knotted his brows. Having lost his appetite, he put his cutlery down forcefully on the
table. Then, he rose to his feet and made his way toward Gu Ruoxin’s room.
Gu Yan trembled in fear as he sensed his father’s anger.
Wu Nian nced at Gu Yan before she trotted toward Gu Mingchen. “Mr. Gu, I need to talk to you.”
Gu Mingchen halted in front of Gu Ruoxin’s bedroom. While clenching his fists to suppress his anger,
he turned to look at Wu Nian.
Thetter’s voice was soft yet firm as she spoke up, “Mr. Gu, Gu Ruoxin is your child. You know better
than anyone else about his temperament. If you punish him, he’ll only be more rebellious and
think his mother is better than you.
“He’s a nice kid, even crying when he saw his mother was injured. He’s willing to hurt himself for his
mother’s sake too. Not only is he a very clever and strong-willed little boy, but he’s also capable and
prudent.
“Instead of punishing him, we should give him guidance by awarding him.
“If he refuses to go to school, you need only tell him that I’ll assess his performance and award him
ordingly. If he performs well for that particr month, we’ll allow his mother toe and stay for
two days. That way, he won’t cause trouble again. I’ll discuss this with you in detail on Sunday.”
Gu Mingchen nodded approvingly. He gradually calmed down after hearing her words. “Ms. Wu, you
have a knack for dealing with kids.”
Wu Nian was relieved to see his anger dissipate. With a smile, she exined, “There are a lot of
naughty children in the orphanage. They’re more difficult and often have undesirable temperaments. In
the end though, they all end up okay. This proves that as long as you find the right way of guiding them,
they’ll be willing to listen to you.”
“Let’s have dinner. I’ll drive you home after that,” uttered Gu Mingchen while he headed back to the
dining table.
Three minutester, Zhou Han brought Gu Ruoxin out of the room and made him stand beside his
father.
She ordered Gu Ruoxin, “Tell your Daddy.”
“I’m sorry,” thetter unwillingly apologized.
With her brows knitted, Zhou Han demanded, “Say it properly!”
Gu Ruoxin clenched his fists. Keeping his head down, he once again apologized, “I’m sorry.”
Finally, Gu Mingchen turned to face him. “It’ste now, and you should go to bed with your Mommy. I’m
going to send Ms. Wu home.”
Gu Yan raised his hand. “Me too!”
“Yanny, it’s ratherte now. Let me bring you to bed,” Zhou Han said to Gu Yan in a gentle voice.
A chill ran down Wu Nian’s spine when she recalled Zhou Han lying to her about how Gu Yan loved
spicy food and that Gu Ruoxin liked durian and crayfish.
She was afraid to leave Gu Yan in Zhou Han’s hands.
Fortunately, Gu Mingchen rejected her offer, “You’re not feeling well, and you just suffered a burn. You
can’t take care of Yanny when you still need someone to take care of you. I’ll take Yanny with me. Rest
well.”
Wu Nian heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, she couldn’t help casting her eyes at Gu
Mingchen. Could it be that he’s thinking the same as me? If that’s so, then he’s really clever.
