You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 354


    Chapter 354 Jealousy


    It was a look of disdain.


    Wu Nian averted her gaze as it dimmed.


    “Why is he going too?” Liu Yan was taken aback and asked Aaron.


    The man shook his head and said he had no idea.


    “Hey, Gu Mingchen. Why are you going to see Stephen too?” Liu Yan went straight to the point.


    The man merely cast a nce at her and said nothing, disregarding her question.


    Liu Yan hated condescending men who thought they were high and mightypared to others.


    Irked, she deliberately posed a question to Wu Nian, “Nian, when are you getting married to Mr.


    Aaron?”


    Wu Nian knew it was an attempt to aggravate Gu Mingchen. She thought better than to y along and


    make things worse. Hence, she merely said, “It’s still too early to say.”


    “What early? You’re not getting any younger. Just get married if you’ve found the one,” Liu Yan egged


    her on.


    “Liu Yan, quit joking around,” Wu Nian warned her in a low voice.


    Noticing that she was getting angry, Liu Yan pouted and lowered her head, saying nothing.


    An odd glint shed across Gu Mingchen’s eyes as he gauged Wu Nian.


    To his impression, Liu Yan had always been a fearless woman, and especially so after getting together


    with Shen Yiyan. Nobody could hold her wrath, except for Bai Rong.


    He initially thought that Wu Nian was someone sent by Shen Yiyan. On second thought, if she were


    truly someone sent by the man, then she should have been all meek and submissive before Liu Yan.


    However, Wu Nian did not seem at all like Liu Yan’s subordinate with her sharp gaze and domineering


    vibe. The weirdest part was that Liu Yan had not even attempted to fight back.


    Could she really be Bai Rong?


    His heart skipped a beat as he did a double-take at Wu Nian’s eyes, nose, lips, and the contours of her


    face. She looks nothing like Bai Rong. How could she be Rong?


    If ording to Liu Yan, Rong should have been fully recovered by now. Why isn’t sheing to see


    me, and has even gotten together with Aaron?


    A storm raged in Gu Mingchen’s heart as he tightened his fist. The man tried his best to hold everything


    in as he sounded Wu Nian out. “Stephen is living on an ind. Does Ms. Wu have any experience


    living on a deserted ind?”


    Wu Nian shook her head. “Coldbridge City is not close to the sea. I don’t get the chance to go to the


    beach often either, much less living on a deserted ind.”


    “Ms. Wu, you’re a local here at Coldbridge City, right? Why don’t you sound at all like you’re from here


    though?” Gu Mingchen continued to probe.


    “I grew up in an orphanage. We have kids from all over the country there. So I don’t get much chance


    to develop an ent,” Wu Nian exined, cool as a cucumber.


    The man regarded her with an icy cold gaze.


    Zhang Xingyu had just reported to him that she was not from the orphanage, and she had just


    appeared there a year before. I’m not buying this bald-faced lie.


    “I’ve stayed at Coldbridge City for some time, and I gotta say I’ve developed quite an ent. What do


    you think about my ent right now?” Gu Mingchen asked.


    Wu Nian smirked. “You’re missing a few inflections here and there.”


    The man’s gaze dimmed as she pinpointed the erroneous mistakes in his ent as a true Coldbridge


    person would do. “Alright, forget about it,” the man said resignedly.


    “Well, it’s not your ent, to begin with. Might as well move on from it.” The undertones were apparent


    in her words.


    “I can forget about an ent that doesn’t belong to me. But some people, my people especially, I


    cannot and will never forget,” Gu Mingchen replied in a low voice.


    “Are you talking about your ex-wife, Mr. Gu?” Wu Nian asked with a straight face.


    “She’s my only wife.” Gu Mingchen corrected her.


    Wu Nian said nothing as she kept her gaze low.


    Aaron twitched his lips as he listened to the two. He held Wu Nian’s hands and asked softly, “Do you


    and Mr. Gu know each other?”


    “I almost became his child’s home tutor,” Wu Nian replied truthfully.


    “Well, talk about fate,” Aaron chimed.


    Wu Nian managed a thin smile and noticed that Gu Mingchen’s gaze was transfixed on her face. She


    whispered to Aaron, “I want to eat an orange.”


    Aaron smiled affectionately at her and took an orange from the fruit te. He peeled the orange and


    brought a piece close to her mouth.


    She opened her mouth and bit the pieceing her way.


    “Is it sweet?” Aaron asked as he was about to feed her another one.


    “Uh-uh,” Wu Nian smiled as she replied.


    Aaron looked adoringly at the woman before him.


    He noticed that the woman was usually cold and distant but her smile was anything but that. It was


    beguiling. “I’ll get you more when we get back if you like it.”


    “Sure.” She cocked her head to one side, leaned against Aaron’s shoulders, and closed her eyes.


    Gu Mingchen was disquieted at the sight of her. He walked out of the living room and headed to the


    deck, setting his gaze afar.


    Liu Yan put her hands to her back and made her way over to Gu Mingchen’s side smugly. She traced


    his gaze into the distance and said, “Rong has found her happiness. I think it’s best that you get


    married soon too. Everyone is going to be happy then.”


    “She’s not Rong.”


    “You’re right. So, Gu Mingchen, you need to stay away from her.” Liu Yan resonated with his statement


    with a hint of warning in her words.


    Peeved, he looked at her, “What do you want, exactly?”


    “Nothing.” Liu Yan shrugged and snickered, “Everything’s breezy.”


    Noticing that she went along with his idea, Gu Mingchen was even more disturbed.


    Liu Yan turned around to head into the living room, and he followed suit.


    Aaron pecked on Wu Nian’s forehead.


    Gu Mingchen was stumped at the sight.


    The woman did not open her eyes. Is she asleep, or is she giving her consent for him to do so?


    His heart contorted inexplicably. It was as if poisonous vines were gripping onto his heart, wringing him


    dry as he suffered the excruciating pain till there was only a bitter void left.


    Liu Yan wanted to give Aaron and Wu Nian some private space. She turned around and noticed Gu


    Mingchen who was just standing there. “Let’s chat some more.”


    Gu Mingchen paid no heed to her and sat right opposite Aaron. In a frosty voice, he asked, “How long


    have you two known each other?”


    Wu Nian’s brows creased slightly. Is it going to be very obvious if I wake up right now and ask Aaron to


    go to the deck with me?


    Aaron seemed unfazed by his question. “It doesn’t matter how long we’ve known each other. People


    wouldn’t have broken up with each other if the duration they’ve been together made even the slightest


    difference.”


    “How are you so sure that she’s the one?” Gu Mingchen narrowed his eyes at the man before him.


    “She appeared at the right time and ce. Most importantly, we are together now. This is fate.”


    “It could be a well-nned lie,” Gu Mingchen said in an attempt to dampen the atmosphere.


    Aaron still wore a warm smile. “Even if it’s a lie, it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s a beautiful


    encounter. I like the way it all unfolds. If that’s the case, I am in fact d to be lied to, and I pray that


    there’s a turning point.”

    “What if the one for you is still waiting down the road?” Gu Mingchen’s voice turned frosty.


    “Have you only ever been in one rtionship?” Aaron asked, puzzled.


    Gu Mingchen turned his gaze onto Wu Nian. “I won’t give up on someone who I think is the one, even if


    other women are admittedly better than her. I will live out the rest of my life alone in memories of her,


    never to marry again.”
