You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 378 Good Morning

“Follow me. The fifteenth floor is on fire,” Gu Mingchen uttered lowly as he swept a displeased gaze over the duo before turning away.

Wu Nian felt a rush of puzzlement when he gave her the cold shoulder.

Did he come all the way up here to inform them? When did Gu Mingchen become such an amiable person?

Wu Nian turned to Aaron with a bewildered gaze.

The man gave her a warm smile in response. “Although the fire is spreading upwards, the thirteenth floor might be affected as well. I figure that it will cause a commotion tonight. Why don’t we change hotels?”

“You haven’t slept for two days. It sounds like a good idea.” Wu Nian nodded in agreement. “I’ll help you pack your luggage. You should get a good rest.”

“It’s fine. I can organize things myself. Why don’t you wait for me in the lobby?” Aaron replied gently.

Wu Nian did not wish to burden others if the fire were to spread. She quickly entered the corridor, and she soon noticed Gu Mingchen lurking around the corner. He looked livid. His bright eyes looked enraged, whilst his lips were pinched into a straight line.

I should have a proper conversation with him when I have the chance.

The full brunt of his rage seemed to be directed towards her. Under his scrutiny, Wu Nian felt a feeling of unease blossom in her heart.

She began to head downstairs, but Gu Mingchen clutched her arm in a firm grasp.

“I’ll send you home,” the man said darkly when they had descended to the fifth floor.

Wu Nian rejected his offer politely. “It’s alright.”

Her answer seemed to snap something within him. Gu Mingchen glared at her with a sharp gaze. “I insist on sending you back,” he retorted.

She felt her temper flare upon his remark. “Mr. Gu, don’t you think you’re acting like a tyrant? I have my own free will to do as I please,” she said curtly and shrugged his hand off her arm.
