You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 352


    Chapter 352 Do You Like Me


    “I got it. Keep this strictly between the two of us,” Gu Mingchen warned in a low voice. At that moment,


    he spotted Wu Nian walking toward him from the corner of his eye. He turned to look at her, his gaze


    dark and cold.


    Wu Nian was on her way to the toilet when she locked eyes with Gu Mingchen. However, she didn’t


    feel the need to make small talk, so she ignored him.


    She was washing her hands when she saw Gu Mingchen behind her. Meanwhile, he just stood there,


    staring intensely at her in silence.

    Wu Nian averted her gaze and continued to wash her hands. She stepped out of the toilet after, still


    ignoring Gu Mingchen.


    “Can we talk?” Gu Mingchen finally spoke as she walked past him.


    “Sorry, but I’m busy,” Wu Nian retorted.


    Gu Mingchen’s voice was stern and cold when he continued, “If you’re trying to y hard to get, I can


    tell you now it doesn’t work for me. You won’t get another chance if you walk away now.”


    Wu Nian merely let out a faint smirk before strutting away.


    Gu Mingchen watched her go, a contemtive frown forming on his face.


    When Wu Nian got back to the table, Aaron had already filled her ss with wine.


    She raised her ss and swirled the wine. Her gaze was fixated on it as she seemed to be in deep


    contemtion.


    “What’s wrong? You don’t look too happy. Did you bump into someone earlier?” Aaron asked with


    concern.


    Wu Nian threw a side-eye at Aaron as she emptied her ss of wine in one slow gulp.


    As the alcohol kicked in, Wu Nian’s eyes became zed, and her cheeks flushed. “Mr. Aaron, do you


    like me? Or rather, am I your type?” she teased.


    “You’re the most straightforward woman I’ve ever met.” Aaron smiled warmly. “Yes, I like you. You’re


    exactly my type.”


    “Then let’s date.”


    “What?” Aaron was taken aback by Wu Nian’s frankness.


    Wu Nian poured herself another ss of wine and smiled coyly. “I only have one request.”


    Aaron had a look of utter confusion as he muttered, “What is it?”


    His reaction made Wu Nian smile even brighter. “If we’re doing this, then I expect the breakup to be just


    as straightforward. When either one of us initiates the breakup, we’ll do it with no questions asked,


    deal?”


    “Oh, okay… but this is all too sudden,” Aaron replied, unable to hide his embarrassment.


    “As sudden as when you got sick on the ne?” Wu Nian moved his ss of wine away and locked


    eyes with him.


    “With your health, you ought to be drinking less and resting more. Don’t worry about me. I can go back


    on my own.” Wu Nian said as she stood from the table. “I hope you can think about what I just said. If


    you don’t want to date me, that’s fine too. You can contact me again once you’ve arranged for the


    meeting with Mr. Stephen.”


    “No more supper for you?” Aaron asked.


    “Here’s what you need to know about me, Mr. Aaron,” Wu Nian stated. “First, I’m not one to easily give


    men chances. Second, my only reason for dining with you is to arrange a meeting with Mr. Stephen.”


    She paused when she saw Aaron’s eyes widen. “Third, if we decide to date, we’d have many chances


    to dine together. But if we don’t, this meal would just be a waste of time. Last but not least, this is how I


    am. It’s better being honest now than to end up with regret in the future.”


    Wu Nian picked up her bag. “I’ll be leaving first, Mr. Aaron. Have a good night.”


    Aaron finally got back to his senses as he quickly stood up. “I’ll send you back.”


    “Like what I’ve said earlier, sending me back is the same as eating together. We can leave all that in


    the future if we decide to date. Rest well.” With that, Wu Nian left the room and called Liu Yan.


    “I’m leaving now. Shall we meet at the entrance if you haven’t gone far?”


    “That was fast. Were the dishes even served yet? Oh, did you have a falling out with Mr. Aaron?” Liu


    Yan was surprised.


    “We’ll talk in the car.”


    During the car ride, Wu Nian told Liu Yan everything and watched her eyes widen in disbelief. Liu Yan


    turned toward her and asked, “Did you really suggest that you start dating?”


    Wu Nian remained cool as a cucumber as she reminded Liu Yan to watch out for traffic.


    Right then, Liu Yan’s anxiety was running high. She pulled the car over and turned to look at Wu Nian.


    “Nian, are you serious? You don’t sound like yourself. What has gotten into you?”


    “Aaron may have many virtues, but he has his shorings too,” Wu Nian remarked.


    “What shorings?” Liu Yan stared at her incredulously.


    “Hecks loyalty.”


    Liu Yan angrily smacked Wu Nian upon hearing that. “Even after knowing that, you still want to date


    him? Are you out of your mind, or is this a side-effect from your new medication?”


    Wu Nian turned toward Liu Yan to exin, “He’s just what I need for my situation right now. I need a


    boyfriend to dispel Gu Mingchen’s suspicions toward me and fend off Su Xuyan’s advancements. And


    he’d be able to protect me after you leave.”


    As sure as Wu Nian sounded, it still didn’t help to ease Liu Yan’s worries. “But he’s a yboy. He might


    only be interested in you for three months, then what? That wouldn’t be fair to you.”


    A smile crept onto Wu Nian’s face. “I know what you’re thinking, but Aaron doesn’t like me that way.


    He’s just testing the water for now. When I suggested that we date, he didn’t seem too keen about it.”


    Liu Yan was even more confused now. “What do you mean by that?”


    “He was born into nobility and had been inculcated with the ideals of a gentleman from young. He finds


    it hard to turn down a woman’s request as long as it’s within his power. And he would respect my


    decision if I said no to his advancements.”


    “But what if… “ Liu Yan hesitated. “What if he fell for you?”


    “Don’t forget, he’s a perfectionist. And I’m a person with many ws. Over time, he’lle to realize


    that I’m not suited for him,” Wu Nian said very candidly.


    “What if he doesn’t agree?”


    Wu Nian remained unfazed. “Then he would stop pestering me. That’s not a bad thing either.”


    “Is that so?” Liu Yan had an odd feeling about it even though she couldn’t put it into words. “With Aaron


    in Ustrana and you in A City, you wouldn’t have much time to meet up.”


    “To me, his existence is just to prove that I can still get a boyfriend when I say I want one.”


    “That seems like you’re just out to y with his feelings,” Liu Yan whispered.


    “Even when he’s dating me, he’d still be on the lookout for more suitable partners. I just happened to


    show up at a time when he’s feeling burned out from his rtionship. Once he has found someone


    better, he’ll break up with me.”


    “Are you saying he hasn’t broken up with his fourth girlfriend?” Liu Yan asked as she started the car


    and slowly drove off.


    “That’s my guess. I’m sure his family would only introduce someone of equal caliber to him. He’s not in


    a position to outwardly reject, but with his high EQ, he should be able to sort it out without much


    problem.”


    “But, that would make her your love rival.” Liu Yan was again worried for her friend.


    “I don’t even have a boyfriend. So what love rival do I need to be worried about?” Just as she got her


    words out, Wu Nian saw a figure dash out in front of the car.


    Liu Yan had seen it too and immediately braked.


    Both of them hurriedly got out of the car to check what had happened.


    There, on the road, was an old woman. Before they could react, the old woman pointed at Wu Nian and


    shouted, “Bai Rong, I’ve found you atst!”
