You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 358

Chapter 358 Among Us

The ladies in the room let out screams of horror, and an unnerving enshrouded the room. Some at the table stood up by reflex, while some instinctively squatted down. The creaking sounds of chairs being dragged filled the room.

Wu Nian felt that her heart was at her throat.

The mysterious disappearance of the steamship and the sudden electrical outage seemed to be linked in an eerie way. They felt like incidents leading up to a murder, not to mention that they were on an isolated, independently-managed island.

“Yan!” Wu Nian called out worriedly.

In the darkness, a warm hand suddenly grabbed her waist from behind.

Bai Rong tensed up but was immediately pulled into a comforting embrace. “It’s okay.” Gu Mingchen’s deep voice echoed in her ears.

Wu Nian’s heart raced. For a moment, she felt as if she had traveled back in time- his familiar baritone voice, his familiar touch, and his gentleness pulled at her heartstrings.

“I’m not scared.” Wu Nian tried to push his hand away.

Someone at the table had found their phone and turned on the flashlight function.

“Argh!” Someone let out a panicked scream.

Wu Nian unconsciously grabbed the hem of Gu Mingchen’s shirt.

Gu Mingchen lowered his head and peered at her face. The dim light carved out a blurred outline of her side profile. She looked like a goddess in abstract artwork.

He blinked. If not for her face, he would whole-heartedly believe that he was holding Bai Rong in his arms at that moment.

Calm, resilient, cold, but intrinsically cute. That was how Bai Rong had always been.

She had kept away her sorrowful secrets to herself and refused to rely on others in the name of independence for too long. Moments where she would show her vulnerable side always hit the soft spot in his heart.

One such instance was when she rescued a pregnant woman who was held hostage during a mission. Though he was impressed with how she remained strong and courageous throughout the mission, he could never forget how she cried in his arms.
