You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Please Come Back To Us

Zhou Hailan was waiting for him when he arrived home.

She followed him into Gu Yan’s bedroom and watched as he tucked the little one in bed.

“Mingchen, I need to talk to you,” she said.

“Mm,” Gu Mingchen uttered a reply. He left the room and closed the door before asking, “Is Xin asleep?”

“Yes. I waited for you in the living room after he fell asleep. Mingchen, I know Xin is rebellious and naughty; he’s not as obedient as Yanny. I’m afraid Ms. Wu will be prejudiced against him after what happened earlier,” Zhou Hailan voiced her concern.

Gazing at Zhou Hailan, he asked, “Then what do you think we should do?”

Zhou Hailan suggested, “Well, Xin is so aversive of Ms. Wu because he’s afraid she might replace me. If he gets to choose his own tutor, I think he’ll find it more acceptable.”

Gu Mingchen readily agreed, “Alright. Let him find his own tutor who can work full-time. That way, hopefully, he’ll be more disciplined.”

“Really?” Zhou Hailan brightened up. “You think so too?”

Gu Mingchen stated, “I’ll pay for the tutor’s salary. Since he’ll be living with you, I think he’ll behave well. After all, he’s more willing to listen to you.”

Hearing that, Zhou Hailan dropped her smile. “W-What do you mean?”

Gu Mingchen looked her straight in the eyes. “Before this, you entrusted Xin to me because of your poor health condition. I actually thought of sending someone to take care of both of you. But since Yanny was alone, I then decided to bring Xin over to keep Yanny company.

“Soon, I realized Xin prefers to stay with you. If that’s the case, I should respect him and let him be with you. You can find someone trustworthy to take care of you both. Don’t worry about the expenses; I’ll take care of it.”

Zhou Hailan’s eyes dimmed with disappointment. “You brought Xin back because you’re afraid Yanny might feel lonely? To you, Xin is only Bai Rong’s son’s playmate, is that it?” she asked, obviously losing her composure.

“I suppose I don’t need to explain to you what I think of Xin. If you really want to think of it that way, so be it. In fact, Xin only wants to be with you, and he only listens to you.” Gu Mingchen’s eyes turned icy as he spoke.

Zhou Hailan’s anger spiked, for it was not the answer she wanted. “Gu Mingchen, I know you only care about Bai Rong, but she’s dead! If she’s still alive, why didn’t she come back? I really don’t understand you! Xin is your child, but you don’t even care about him!”

“You think I don’t care about him? Then you should take him away with you,” Gu Mingchen uttered coldly.

Zhou Hailan hit the roof. Clenching her hands, she whined resentfully, “See, you wouldn’t ask him to leave if you had even the slightest love for him.”

With his brows knitted, Gu Mingchen retorted, “Am I the one who wanted him to leave? He’s the one who’s always running away from home. Even here with me, he only ever listens to you. So, I might as well give him what he’s always wanted.”

Zhou Hailan could tell that the man was resolute. “Then you should ask him what he really wants! The thing is, can you really give him what he wants?”

“If he wants to stay, then he should listen to me. If he wants to leave with you, I’ll pay for the salaries of the housemaid and tutor. That’s it. It’s late now; we’ll talk about it tomorrow.” With that, Gu Mingchen left for his room and closed the door behind him.

Feeling grumpy, he tossed his suit jacket onto the couch. Everyone is telling me that Bai Rong is dead. I won’t believe it!

In a bad mood, he grabbed a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and gulped it down.

In the meantime, Wu Nian had just come out of the washroom after taking her shower. She peeled the egg and rolled it over her bruise while lying on the bed.

Although she had suffered an injury, she felt her sacrifice had paid off. Her heart was filled with warmth whenever she thought about the cute little boy that was her son.

The warm effect of the hard-boiled egg seemed to have eased the pain on the bruised area.

After treating her bruise, she rested on the bed and started thinking of Gu Yan. The thought of the little boy brought a smile to her face. I must take a lot of pictures of him on Sunday. That way, I can always look at his pictures whenever I miss him.

Just then, her phone rang.

Looking at her screen, she remembered it was Gu Mingchen’s number.

After taking a deep breath, she sat up and answered the call. “Mr. Gu,” she greeted politely.

“Don’t call me Mr. Gu! Do you know who I am to you?” Gu Mingchen bellowed over the phone.

“Huh?” Wu Nian didn’t get what he meant by that. Inexplicably, she had a strange feeling about it.

“They all said you’re dead, but I know you’re not! You’re still alive, right? You’ll come back to me, right?” Gu Mingchen threw two questions at her.

Wu Nian noticed he was slurring his words, and he was not acting like his usual self. It seemed like the man was drunk.

“Say something! Don’t just keep quiet!” Gu Mingchen demanded.

Wu Nian said in a gentle tone, “Mr. Gu, it’s already late now. I suppose your kids are asleep. You’ll wake them up with your loud voice.”

“I’m outside now. They can’t hear me… They can’t…” His voice grew softer as if he would fall asleep at any second.

Wu Nian asked with her voice full of concern, “Where are you? Have you forgotten not to leave Yanny alone with Zhou Hailan? Ms. Zhou is now staying at your place!”

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She got out of bed, grabbed her purse, and rushed out of the room.

Gu Mingchen was giggling over the phone, with a tinge of bitterness in his laugh. “If you really care about Yanny, you should come back and meet him. Yanny is our child. Don’t you want to meet him? Rong, I miss you. Rong, please come back to us…”

Wu Nian’s heart ached every time he called her ‘Rong.’

Yet, she hardened her heart. “Mr. Gu, you’ve got the wrong person; I’m not Bai Rong. Where are you now?” Wu Nian entered the elevator.

“I’m at…” Gu Mingchen stopped mid-sentence.

Wu Nian was agitated. “Where are you?”

Yet the other end of the line was silent.

Wu Nian wondered if Gu Mingchen had fallen asleep.

Growing anxious by the minute, she rushed out of the elevator as soon as it reached the ground floor.

The next moment, out of the corner of her eyes, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

She turned around to see Su Xuyan hugging a nineteen-year-old beautiful young woman. He was fixing his lecherous gaze on her body. Anyone could tell that the two were here to spend a night in the hotel.
