You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 350 All That Glitters Is Not Gold

“Perhaps what?” Liu Yan asked.

Wu Nian then looked at Liu Yan. “Shen Yiyan wields a lot of power in Xyperia. He shouldn’t have a problem getting me a fake marriage certificate.”

Hearing that, Liu Yan furrowed her brows. “You’re throwing your happiness away,” she said, her voice full of pity.

Wu Nian clutched Liu Yan’s hand and smiled. “I know what I’m doing.”

However, Liu Yan pulled her hand back and turned her gaze toward the table. There was sorrow on her face as she mumbled, “I’m afraid I can’t help you with this as I’ll be leaving for Dartan soon. Even if Shen Yiyan can help you, it’d only be temporary.”

Wu Nian thought as much.

Liu Yan was the only reason Shen Yiyan would agree to help her. Once Liu Yan was out of the picture, not only would he not offer his assistance, he might even try to get back at her.

She had been a burden to Liu Yan for two years now. Thus, she didn’t want Liu Yan to sacrifice any more for her.

“I have other ideas,” Wu Nian replied with a smile to reassure Liu Yan.

Liu Yan’s eyes were red and puffy as she looked at a smiling Wu Nian. “Can’t you leave with me? I’m worried about you.”

“I’ll be fine. I promise.”

“Why don’t you try asking Aaron for help? After all, he’s influential in Ustrana, and Shen Yiyan’s power doesn’t extend there. Moreover, you wouldn’t have to worry about Su Xuyan again if you had Aaron’s protection,” Liu Yan proposed.

“Don’t worry. I know what I should do.” Wu Nian seemed pretty confident of herself as she had a smile on the entire time.

At that moment, Liu Yan’s heart sank. For some reason, she felt very uneasy about it.

Right then, the auction began.

There were twelve items in this auction round.
