You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 332

Chapter 332 You Are Driving Me Crazy

When Wu Nian’s phone screen suddenly lit up, showing Gu Mingchen’s number, she rejected his call without the slightest hesitation.

Liu Yan saw her action and decided to talk about something else. “Seems like you’re not working in the near future. Why don’t we go on a vacation? Since I’ll have a long break this time, why don’t we do something different? I’m tired of seeing the same old mountains and lakes. We should go to a desert or iceberg or something.”

Wu Nian thought that was a good idea. After all, she needed to take time off after what just happened. “What about Corlean? There’s a desert over there. It’s the closest to the South Pole and it’s also close to Astraunia, so we can probably swing by Astraunia as well.”

“Astraunia is known for its beef, precious stones, soccer and tango, right?” Liu Yan was elated at the thought of a vacation.

“Yeah. It’s a place rich in culture and history,” Wu Nian agreed.

She had thought she would never make it out alive when she was receiving treatment. Back then, all she wanted was to live on and do all the things she never got to do previously. She watched a lot of travel channels and that was how she knew a thing or two about every country.

“How about we set out tomorrow? I can bring Bao with me and we can go on a vacation for a few months. I’ll pay for everything. Shen Yiyan will be so pissed when he finds out!” Liu Yan burst out laughing as she imagined Shen Yiyan’s face.

Liu Yan’s laughter brought a smile to Wu Nian’s face, but deep down in her heart, a touch of sadness lingered. Yet there was not a single trace of her emotion on her face—she did not want Liu Yan to worry about her—she just wanted her to stay cheerful.

Ring! Her phone rang again. An annoyed frown appeared on her brows and she accepted the call.

“Is Yanny with you?” Gu Mingchen went straight to the point.

Immediately, Wu Nian went on the alert. She exploded in a burst of anger and questioned him, “Did you lose him again?”

“He’s not with you? If you’re lying to me, I can sue you for kidnap!” Gu Mingchen got defensive.

“Hey! Gu Mingchen! Do you think I would dare to kidnap your child given your status and power?” Wu Nian was so upset she felt like throwing her phone away.

“What’s the matter?” Liu Yan leaned closer and asked anxiously.

“Yanny’s gone missing. Let’s go look for him; we can go to the karaoke later,” Wu Nian answered hastily, her gaze darting around worriedly.

“Sure. We should split up and start searching for him. Whoever finds him gives a call,” Liu Yan proposed.

Wu Nian nodded and sprinted off toward the restaurant. “Yanny!” she shouted over and over again, searching for him in despair.

“Hi, did you see a boy about seven years old? He’s around a hundred and thirty centimeters tall and he’s wearing a white shirt,” Wu Nian started asking some strangers.

“Nope, don’t think so,” the passerby answered.

Wu Nian continued her search at the restaurant but to no avail. She ran over to the fishing site and tried her luck, worried that the boy might have fallen into the lake.

“Excuse me, did you see a smart-looking boy about seven years old? He’s a hundred and thirty centimeters tall and he’s wearing a white shirt,” she asked a random person fishing there.

Wu Nian’s heart dropped when the person shook his head. She turned and continued looking for the child. Just then, she spotted Gu Mingchen, who had come here in search of Gu Yan as well.

Rolling her eyes at him, she spun around to leave. On second thought, she turned back around and stomped toward him angrily.

“It would be impossible for just two of us to find him. This park is huge! The longer we drag this out, the more danger Yanny could be in. There are a lot of security guards here. Why not show them his photo and ask them to help? That will really speed things up. Call me if anyone finds him,” she said coldly.

“You care for him a lot, don’t you?” Gu Mingchen peered at her in suspicion, causing a sneer to form on Wu Nian’s face.

“Although I’ve been unfairly dismissed for no good reason, I still care for Yanny very much. I don’t want anything to happen to him. I’ll call you if I find him. I won’t kidnap your child.”

Gu Mingchen watched her in silence.

The reason why he laid her off was that she looked too much like Bai Rong.

Her character, her voice, and her life experience all reminded him of her. He was wary of her because someone might have sent her to get close to him.

Yanny was Bai Rong and his son. He did not want anything to happen to him.

Wu Nian was like a ticking time bomb. He did not want to keep someone like her around him.

“Thanks for helping,” he said frigidly and walked off after a long pause.

Wu Nian’s furious glare bore into his back as he walked away. She grabbed a handful of soil and threw it with full force at his shoulder.

Gu Mingchen halted and looked back at her sternly.

Wu Nian clapped her hands cleaned with her chin held high. “You’re not my boss anymore. I don’t see why I should tolerate your nasty attitude.”

She turned and left to look for Yanny.

Behind her, Gu Mingchen patted his shoulder to get the dirt off. His frown deepened as he thought about what Wu Nian just did.

Her temper was exactly the same as Bai Rong’s. She might be gentle and easy-going, but when someone stepped on her toes, she would not hesitate to fight back with all she could. She would also say some really hurtful things.

It was exactly because they were too alike that he found her repulsive, although he had to admit that she had a point. He should get help from the security guards. It was useless to look for Gu Yan alone. At least the guards had access to the surveillance system.

After an hour, Gu Mingchen called Wu Nian and updated her. “Yanny’s no longer in the area. You can stop looking for him.”

Wu Nian was sick with worry. “So he’s outside of this compound? Did you check the surveillance cameras on the outside? There should be some cameras along the road, right? Can’t they check where he went?”

“He said he wanted to go home before we left. Now that I think of it, he’s probably going back to Horington. That’s where his hometown is. I’ll look for him on my own. Thanks for helping,” Gu Mingchen briefed her before hanging up.

His words gave no peace to Wu Nian. She took out her phone and called Liu Yan. “Yan, you can stop looking for him already. He’s not at the park anymore. I’ll see you at the entrance.”

Liu Yan hurried over right after getting her call. “Where did he go? Did Gu Mingchen find him already?” she asked, panting.

Wu Nian looked at her with her bloodshot eyes, shaking her head. “Yanny said he wanted to go back to Horington, his hometown. He must be really unhappy around Gu Mingchen to want to go back to that place…”

Her voice trailed off as her eyes turned misty.

“It’s not like you don’t know Gu Mingchen. He’s always so cold and reticent. No child will like him,” Liu Yan said.

“I’m so sorry, Yan. I don’t think I’m in the mood for a vacation before I find Yanny.”

Liu Yan pulled her into her arms and comforted her, “I understand. I won’t have the heart for a vacation if Bao goes missing either. Come on, let’s go back to your hotel.”
