You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 392

Chapter 392 Caring As Always

Sensing the lack of movement behind, Ai Wei’er looked over her shoulder at the painting and screeched in horror. “What’s going on? The pirate wasn’t smiling just now. How is he smiling now?”

“This is a double-sided painting method. Because of the position and lighting, different viewing angles will allow you to see different things,” Wu Nian explained calmly.

“Oh, so that’s why. Chen, I’m a little scared. Can you hold my hand while we walk?” Ai Wei’er sent a pleading look at Gu Mingchen.

Wu Nian chuckled softly at that.

Gu Mingchen squeezed her waist before releasing her.

Ai Wei’er looked at Wu Nian with a quizzical expression. “Why are you laughing?”

“Your mother is very cute,” Wu Nian said meaningfully.

“Cute? My mother? More like evil. C’mon, let’s go upstairs,” Ai Wei’er urged.

Suddenly, something fell from above, causing her to scream loudly.

Caught off guard, Wu Nian also took a step back in fright.

Ai Wei’er illuminated the ground with her oil lamp, but when she didn’t find anything, she asked Gu Mingchen in horror, “Chen, did you see anything just now? I’m scared.”

Gu Mingchen took the oil lamp from her hand and remarked, “You get startled so easily. I’ll look around this castle on my own. You should wait outside if you’re scared.”

Ai Wei’er blinked at him dumbly.

She frequently visited this place, so of course she wasn’t afraid. She only pretended to be so because she wanted Gu Mingchen to protect her, but in the end, he couldn’t even be bothered with her.

“Are you scared?” Ai Wei’er asked Wu Nian.

Wu Nian suggested, “Why don’t we turn on the lights? We’d be able to see things clearer this way.”

She wasn’t afraid at all. To her, the most terrifying thing in the world were not ghosts and spirits, but the human heart.

“There aren’t any lights in here and it’s best not to use flashlights, or you might see things beyond your expectations. Really,” Ai Wei’er muttered mysteriously.

“Then, are you or are you not going to bring us around?” Gu Mingchen inquired coldly.

“Do you both want to? If you do, then I’ll take you. If you don’t, I’ll bring you guys out,” Ai Wei’er replied.

“Let’s go out, then” Gu Mingchen responded tersely and walked ahead.

Once again, Ai Wei’er held his arm.

Meanwhile, Wu Nian trailed after them down the stairs.

Gu Mingchen pulled the door but found that it wouldn’t budge. Frowning, he glanced at Ai Wei’er with a questioning gaze. “Why won’t it open?”

“Just pull it,” Ai Wei’er pulled on the door, but it refused to give.

She tried using both hands. When it remained securely in place, she pounded on the door irritably.

“Is there anyone outside? Open the door! Slack, open the door!”

Slack was the driver who drove them over here, but there was no response from him.

Ai Wei’er knitted her brows into a frown and kicked the door hard. “Open the door, you idiot!”

Still, only silence greeted them.

Fishing out her phone to call him, she found that there was no signal.

She turned to look at Gu Mingchen with a confused expression. “Chen, does your phone have a signal?”

Gu Mingchen took out his phone to check, to which Ai Wei’er craned her neck to get a better look.

Seeing that his phone did not have any signal either, she was nonplussed.

“How’s this possible? We usually have reception here. Sh*t, this is scary.”

“Are you having fun? Well, you can continue. I’ll take a break until you’re bored of fooling around.” Gu Mingchen put the oil lamp on the coffee table and sat on the sofa.

“It’s not me. I really didn’t ask them to lock the door. I’m telling you the truth,” Ai Wei’er denied anxiously.
