You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 385
Chapter 385 The Impossibility Of Letting Go And Wishing Others Well
“You’re overthinking it. See, I still have a whole head of ck hair, but yours is starting to gray. And you
say you want to live longer than me? Hah, that’s absurd!” Mo Xue was not being nice about it.
“Fine. We’ll agree that you’ll live a long life. Happy now? Anyways, I have a proposal for you.” Stephen
stirred them back to the main topic.
“What is it? Judging by your face, I don’t think it’s any sort of good news.” Mo Xue rolled her eyes at
Stephen.
“Didn’t you say that when you get older, you want me to paint a portrait of you, and name it ‘Dream
Come True’? Well, let me do it while I’m still living and breathing,” Stephen said.
Mo Xue was tempted. The sharp re in her eyes softened. “Not today. It’s Ai Wei’er’s birthday, after
all. I have time tomorrow. We can talk about the specific time and ceter.”
“Before we do that, I’d like to introduce a friend to you,” said Stephen.
Mo Xue looked toward Wu Nian, who was standing next to the man. “Your lover?” she assumed.
“Nonsense, Xue’er. She’s currently Aaron’s girlfriend, from A city, and she wants to be your business
partner there,” Stephen exined upfront.
Mo Xue dropped her gaze and crossed her arms. “I’m afraid that I already have a partner in A City.”
“Do reconsider, please.” Stephen softened his tone.
Mo Xue knitted her brows. “Who is she to you? Why are you so willing to regard money as dirt and
plead on her behalf?”
“Ollie and Lisa were the murderers who killed Kyle. And then she helped me locate Casey, the
murderer who killed Ollie and Lisa. She also saved my life at the most critical moment. Xue’er, can you
help me just this once?” Stephen said softly.
“She saved you? Then doesn’t that make her my enemy?” Mo Xue scoffed in disdain.
“If that’s what you think, then consider this my mistake. I shall take my leave, and I hope I don’t have to
see you again in this lifetime.” Stephen strode toward the door after dropping that statement.
Mixed emotions crossed Mo Xue’s face at that. “Wait!” she called out.
Stephen whirled around and gave her a side-eye.
“I.. I’ll think about it,” Mo Xue said in a solemn tone.
Stephen smiled. “It’s your daughter’s birthday, and your lover’s here too. I won’t stay long to build your
resentment. When you have time tomorrow, give me a call.”
Mo Xue watched Stephen go and her eyes darkened.
Wu Nian did not quite understand Mo Xue.
She spotted reluctance in Mo Xue’s eyes, but the older woman clearly just had a sexual encounter with
Su Xuyan.
Perhaps, for her, sex and love can be managed separately, was what Wu Nian thought.
She had a ssmate from the United States who once did a survey. If a man told his girlfriend that he
had five girlfriends in the past, how would she react?
The answers that turned up vary among the Chanaeans, the Americans, and the Jetroinians.
The American girlfriend did not get mad. She would even joke with the man, acting as though she
cared very little, if at all. The Chanaean girlfriend was furious. She would question him, doubt him, feel
disappointed and unbearable, cry, and even get hysterical. The Jetroinian girlfriend wouldmend
him on the surface and then suffer in silence behind his back.
Many developed countries were bing less and less sensitive when it came to sex. Simrly, more
rtionships tended to fail as feelings weakened, while marriage became just another mode of
interaction.
“Mo Xue! Who’s Mo Xue?” a woman yelled.
Wu Nian snapped out of her trance and turned her attention to the woman.
The woman charged aggressively toward her target and gave Mo Xue a p on the face. Outraged,
she barked at Mo Xue, “Spill it! You’re the one who infected Su Xuyan, aren’t you? Because of you, I
have AIDS now!”
Mo Xue cupped her cheek. She should be mad about it, but when she heard what the woman said, her
mood shifted to one of surprise and panic. “You mean Su Xuyan has AIDS?”
“I’ve checked all the women he slept with in Xyperia. All of them didn’t have AIDS, so you’re the only
possibility, you slut!” The woman burst out in anger.

All the color drained from Mo Xue’s face. “You must be mistaken. I don’t have AIDS either.”
“What do you mean you don’t have AIDS? Are you saying Su Xuyan is the carrier, then?” the woman
bellowed.
“What nonsense are you spouting here?” Su Xuyan appeared. His sharp gaze fell on the woman
causing the ruckus.
“Su Xuyan, you’ve ruined me!” The woman rushed toward Su Xuyan with a hand raised. However,
before she managed tond an attack on him, Su Xuyan grabbed her by the wrist.
“What the hell are you saying? Tell me! Who sent you?” Su Xuyan barked at her.
“No one sent me! I just found out I have AIDS and you’re the only one I’ve slept with recently. It has to
be you! Are you denying it?” The woman used him with bloodshot eyes.
Su Xuyan let go of the woman’s hand. “I know myself very well, thank you very much. If you continue to
spread your nonsense here, I will make you regret it.”
“Are you threatening me now? You muttered sweet nothings to me during that night we shared
together, but I see now it’s all bullsh*t! Su Xuyan, you’re nothing but a piece of trash. Trash, I tell you!”
the woman spat at him.
Su Xuyan’s face turned grim as he dragged the woman out.
It was then that Mo Xue’s cell phone rang. Someone had sent her a short video. She clicked on it.
The video was a recording of Su Xuyan’s sexual encounter with another woman. Mo Xue shut her
phone off immediately, her face went pale and her blood began to boil. Then, she stormed out of the
banquet hall.
Su Xuyan blocked Mo Xue’s path. “It’s all a misunderstanding. She’s here to smear my good name. I
can go to the hospital to prove to you that I don’t have AIDS.”
Mo Xue pped him across the face. “You’re the filthiest man I’ve ever been with, and you can forget
about the partnership!”
She left the scene after that, still purple with rage.
Su Xuyan frowned. He turned to Wu Nian, hatred shing across his eyes.
Wu Nian returned the gaze, her eyes drooping.
As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change its spots. How right that is!
If a man cheated once, he would cheat a second time. Once a womanizer, always a womanizer. Old
habits die hard.
She considered herself lucky. To date, she had not let Su Xuyan have his way with her.
Ai Wei’er noticed that the situation was spiraling out of control when she saw that everyone was
murmuring among themselves.
As such, she got on stage and addressed her audience, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you foring
to my birthday party. I’m honored to announce that I, Ai Wei’er, have found the love of my life, and he’s
none other than Gu Mingchen!”
Ai Wei’er pointed at Gu Mingchen before the spotlight fell upon him.
Taking center stage amid the crowd, he appeared more dazzling than the light itself.
Ai Wei’er approached Gu Mingchen with a sweet smile stered on her face.
Wu Nian’s heart tightened as she filled in sweet images of the couple on her own. She was finding it
difficult to breathe.
The crowd went wild as people began to p their hands and cheer them on. “Woohoo! Looks like we
have a new couple tonight! Go on, kiss already!”
Wu Nian turned away and sprinted toward the exit.
She saw Su Xuyan waiting for the elevator to descend. She did not want to deal with him yet, so as not
to cause unnecessary trouble.
She decided to head up the stairs toward the top floor for some fresh air.
A beautiful night sky hung over Xenhall. Neon lights illuminated the streets below like a sea of stars.
Wu Niany on the railing, taking in the view with all the time she had.
She supposed that the partnership between Su Xuyan and Mo Xue had fallen through. Tomorrow,
Stephen would meet with Mo Xue. She might have to stay here for a few more days.
Suddenly, she felt warmth on her shoulders as a familiar scent drifted into her nose. Someone had
wrapped a coat around her.
Wu Nian whipped her head around to find Gu Mingchen standing next to her in a suit and vest, gazing
gently into her eyes.
