You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 379
Chapter 379 Why Are You Crying
Despite her greeting, Gu Mingchen remained as silent as a statue.
At his silence, Wu Nian smiled awkwardly and continued on her jog.
As she approached him on her second round, the man was still rooted to his seat. His body was
hunched over his phone; Gu Mingchen paid her no mind.
Right at that moment, the morning sun was cast over his seated figure. The golden sun rays seemed to
form a dazzling halo around his head. Furthermore, the strong light illuminated across Gu Mingchen’s
features cast an array of dark shadows across his bent head. It made the features of his handsome
face appear more boldly.
Wu Nian’s gaze softened as she looked at him.
When Gu Mingchen lifted her head, she averted her gaze in a haze of panic. Under the pretense of
ignoring him, she turned her head away.
Slowly, Gu Mingchen lifted his phone in her direction and snapped a few pictures of Wu Nian.
The woman remained unaware of his actions as she jogged past him.
Quickly, the man opened another picture of Bai Rong andpared the two images.
They both had identical foreheads and head shapes.
Bai Rong had an oval-shaped head that wasn’t t. ording to superstition, such a unique head
shape originated from the infant’s sleeping position. If the infant slept with his face towards the sky, the
back of his head would turn t. If he slept sideways, the infant would end up with a beautiful oval-
shaped head.
A ponytail hairstyle looked beautiful on such head shapes.
The corners of Gu Mingchen’s lips twitched upwards into a faint smile.
Bai Rong had undergone surgery on her eyes, lips, face shape, and ears. Only her nose remained the
same.
Additionally, Bai Rong had a tiny round-shaped birthmark above her earlobe. It was so small that most
people wouldn’t notice it unless they observed it very closely.
He figured that Bai Rong herself did not realize about her birthmark. Hence, her ear remained
untouched in the surgery.
Repeatedly, Wu Nian jogged around the garden in endless circles. Gu Mingchen was still seated on the
bench. Not once did he approach nor nce up in her direction. He was still scrolling through his
phone intently.
At her tenth round, Wu Nian noticed that the man had left the garden.
Curiously, she slowed to a halt and peered around her surroundings in search of him. Yet, she could
not find Gu Mingchen anywhere.
She couldn’t help but think that she was acting like a fool.
How ironic, didn’t I say I want to keep my distance from Gu Mingchen? What am I doing now?
Wu Nian continued jogged for another ten rounds before she noticed Liu Yan walking towards her with
a downcast expression.
She was exhausted from her jog. “Are you alright?” she asked Liu Yan worriedly.
“Nothing much has changed. I can only suffer and seethe in silence. I’m still waiting for the perfect
opportunity to strike,” thetter said helplessly. “Earlier, I saw Gu Mingchen and Shen Yiyan together.
What do you think they were talking about?”
“Although Gu Mingchen has left the military field to pursue business, the real strength of his power lies
in the country’s regime. It is normal for Shen Yiyan to meet him. Besides, Aaron has agreed to lend a
helping hand. As long as you visit Ustrana, he will help you vanish without a single trace,” Wu Nian said
to pacify Liu Yan.
“Shen Yiyan is a ruthless man. If I disappeared in Ustrana, he’d shift his suspicions to you and Aaron.
He wouldn’t show you any mercy,” Liu Yan replied with concern.

“His wrath will change nothing as long as I keep my mouth shut. There is zero evidence. Furthermore,
Aaron has a reputable reputation. Shen Yiyan would not dare to provoke him so rashly,” Wu Nian
comforted her with a grin.
“I pray he finds a new woman as soon as possible. I will be able to visit you the moment he leaves me
alone,” Liu Yan murmured as she lowered her gaze in misery.
“Let’s not talk about such things anymore. There are manyplications we cannot predict about the
future. The birthday of Mo Xue’s daughter is tomorrow. Have you prepared a gift?” Wu Nian asked,
swiftly shifting the topic of conversation.
Liu Yan pursed her lips in deep thought. “I heard from Shen Yiyan that Mo Xue’s daughter is a big flirt.
Besides, she already has a target in mind. Rather than buying fancy jewelry or bags, it’d be better if we
gift her something more sentimental,” she said after a pause.
“That’s a good idea. We could try it out. Do you know the man she fancies?” Wu Nian asked.
“Gu Mingchen.” Liu Yan let out an exasperated sigh as her gaze darkened.
“Haha! He really is a two-legged toad,” Wu Nian cackled aloud.
Liu Yan giggled at Wu Nian’s hrious joke. “If Gu Mingchen ever heard you call him a toad, I’m sure
that he’d curse you to a painful death.”
“This is why you have to tease him behind his backs. You can only joke around with people you trust.”
Wu Nian grinned in response, saying, “We can’t let him find out.”
“Gu Mingchen might be having lunch here today, and I have no wish to see him. Let’s head out for a
meal. You can help me brainstorm for gift ideas as well.” Liu Yan swung her hand over Wu Nian’s
shoulder. “I’ll be too scared to offer Gu Mingchen as a gift,” she joked.
“Okay. Give me a moment to shower first,” Wu Nian said as she wiped away the sweat on her face.
“Oh right! How are your wounds?” Liu Yan asked worriedly.
“The wound on my shoulder is just a minor injury. Earlier, it did not affect my run. I’ll change the
dressings when we head outter. I think the wound is healing up nicely,” Wu Nian replied with a shrug.
“You’re absolutely fearless, you know? I’ll wait for you at the gate. I’m afraid that Shen Yiyan wille
meddlingter,” Liu Yan said as she strode towards the exit.
All of a sudden, her phone began to chime. Liu Yan looked down to notice a call from Shen Yiyan.
Instinctively, her brows furrowed together in annoyance. “Shen Yiyan, do you think I’m your mother?
You’re acting like an infant crying for milk. I’ve left for no less than ten minutes,” she snapped irritably
as she answered his call.
“Do you have milk?” Shen Yiyan retorted.
“I don’t. Why don’t you go look for someone else with milk?” Liu Yan sneered brusquely and ended the
call.
Shen Yiyan dialed her number again. “Don’t even think about stepping out of your room if you hang up
on me again. You know I never make empty threats,” he snarled.
Liu Yan knew he was fully capable of fulfilling his threats. Yet, what right does he have to terrorize me
like that?
She felt her temper swell like a roaring fire. “You’re the great General Shen with immense power and
respect. How dare I end the call when you can kill me as easily as one would trample an ant? Talk
then! I’ll let you chatter on to your heart’s content!”
Without another word, she tossed her phone into her purse and stormed towards the gate.
When Shen Yiyan did not receive a response from the woman, he clenched his jaw in fury. “Find out
the Madam’s location within a minute!” he instructed a butler.
“I will check the surveince cameras right away.” The butler nodded in response. Only the Madam
would be able to invoke such terrifying anger from Mr. Shen.
Shen Yiyan was one step ahead of Liu Yan. He was already waiting for her by the exit when she
arrived. His phone was still in his clutches as he red at her and growled, “Liu Yan, am I being too
generous? You threw a tantrum as soon as I called you. You even refused to pick up my calls when I
forbade you from hanging up!” Shen Yiyan yelled furiously.
Liu Yan’s expression dropped as she pulled out her phone and ended the call.
Shen Yiyan was stunned speechless by her actions.
“You’re not allowed to go out today! You were asking for it!” He stormed towards her in a haze of fury.
Without hesitation, Liu Yan flung her purse at him and sank to the ground in a squatting position.
Her purse collided against Shen Yiyan, and he felt his anger re even fiercer. Yet, he caught sight of
the way Liu Yan lowered her head as her shoulders began to tremble. Tears streamed down her
cheeks to wet the cement pavement while she sobbed uncontrobly.
Immediately, his angry gaze melted into fondness as he approached her crying figure. “Why are you
crying? You were the one screaming at me just now. How is it my fault again? Come on, stop crying. I
have something to tell you,” he said helplessly.
