You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 388 Locking The Door Will Get You Into Trouble My Dear

I can’t drag him into my mess right after sleeping with him.

Wu Nian inhaled deeply and said, “Mr. Gu.”

“What did you call me?” Gu Mingchen frowned.

“There’s no need to get mad at me. You promised that you’d keep this between the two of us, so I don’t see a problem with this form of address,” she retorted.

Gu Mingchen softened his tone as he explained, “I’ll be mindful when there are others around, but right now, it’s just the two of us. Don’t you think this form of address makes us sound like we’re strangers to each other? It makes me feel like there’s a huge gap between us.”

Wu Nian found herself nodding in agreement before changing the form of address. “Mingchen, you’ve misunderstood that matter regarding Liu Yan. It’s not like that. Ever since she got together with Shen Yiyan, she and her family had a falling-out. Anyway, don’t intervene in this matter. After all, whoever started it should end it as well.”

“Really? Then, why did you approach Aaron?” Gu Mingchen was slightly doubtful.

“Shen Yiyan told us to look for Aaron if we failed to get that painting at the auction because he and Stephen are close friends. It just so happened that I saved Aaron’s life on the flight here, so I approached him to ask if he could take us to the island.” Wu Nian omitted the rest of the details.

“Well, you’ve been on the island and Aaron is also back in his country now. He even has a fiancée, so it’s best that you don’t contact him anymore,” Gu Mingchen stated.

Wu Nian averted her gaze. “I’m tired. I’m gonna sleep for a bit.”

Seeing as she had closed her eyes, Gu Mingchen say nothing more.

Feeling uneasy, she turned around so that her back was facing him.

Now that things have turned out this way between Gu Mingchen and me, I can’t drag Aaron along and make him wait for nothing. But there are still some things I need his help with.

She initially thought that sleep wouldn’t come to her, but she slept straight until the sun came up the next day, waking up only when someone opened the door.

“Hey, what are the two of you doing in here?” demanded the cleaning staff.

When memories of what they did the previous night flooded Wu Nian’s mind, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. From the look in the cleaning staff’s eyes, Wu Nian could tell she had guessed what transpired here.
