You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 389 You Should Know What I Think

“I need to wash my hands,” Gu Mingchen replied curtly.

“Oh.” Wu Nian opened the door and stood to the side.

Gu Mingchen turned on the faucet and washed his hands while watching her through the mirror.

She stood there quietly with slightly downcast eyes, giving off a submissive vibe.

Recalling her obstinance, his gaze sharpened. “Why did you lock the door? Are you afraid that I’m going to eat you?”

“Um, it’s just a habit,” Wu Nian explained.

Gu Mingchen turned around to look at her directly. “Have you called Aaron?”

“It was too early when I came back. And I just woke up, so I haven’t had the time to call him yet.”

“Is that really it, or are you having second thoughts?” Gu Mingchen questioned, his eyes locked onto her as he tried to gauge her reaction.

Wu Nian squirmed under the weight of his gaze. “Don’t you trust me?”

“I’m just afraid that you’d run away or undergo plastic surgery then come back and pretend not to know me. You’re six years younger than me, so you’re still in your youth. I, on the other hand, have two kids. I don’t have the luxury of waiting,” Gu Mingchen said in an enigmatic tone.

Wu Nian’s eyes flickered as she couldn’t help but feel like he was talking about Bai Rong. Despite her nerves, she managed to keep her cool. “Even though you have two kids, you have plenty of admirers. Didn’t Ai Wei’er just confess her feelings for you last night?”

“My admirers can’t possibly be more than yours, can it? Su Xuyan, Aaron, and others I don’t even know about. Am I the backup, or are they?” Gu Mingchen reprimanded angrily.

Backup?

He was obviously the one who forced himself onto me like the tyrant that he is.

I never even planned to get into a relationship with him. Now, he’s making it seem like everything’s my fault? That I’m a promiscuous woman who plays on other people’s feelings?
