You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 337

Chapter 337 The Bird Breaks Free Of Its Cage

“Are you shocked? Her voice sounds identical to Bai Rong,” Liu Yan beamed as she sized up Su Xuyan.

Su Xuyan looked at Liu Yan as his brain began to race with countless possibilities. “Did Shen Yiyan take Bai Rong away? When Bai Rong disappeared, one of my researchers vanished as well. There is a possibility that Bai Rong might still be alive if she has been taking medications.”

“You have a vivid imagination. Don’t you dare bother my friend,” Liu Yan warned him before she yanked Wu Nian into the elevator.

Su Xuyan’s chest heaved breathlessly when he saw Wu Nian’s expressionless face. Although he was shocked, he couldn’t help but feel a hint of glee as well.

Wu Nian lifted her gaze towards Su Xuyan. Her calm eyes betrayed no emotion as the elevator doors slid shut.

“Su Xuyan is much more capable than Gu Mingchen. I had the shock of my life just now! You should touch my palms—they are covered in sweat.”

“There is no use being scared. We should remain firm to avoid any suspicion. I even changed my bone marrow. As long as we do not reveal the truth, he will never be able to prove that I am Bai Rong,” Wu Nian advised her thoughtfully.

“You’d better stay away from him. From my perspective, Su Xuyan is much scarier than Gu Mingchen. The latter is willing to hurt himself to avoid hurting Bai Rong. Yet, Su Xuyan is willing to hurt Bai Rong to keep her in his grasps. Besides, you’ve disappeared for two years. Gu Mingchen has not changed a single bit, and Su Xuyan flirts around with a different girl every day! Wait, Gu Mingchen is no different from Su Xuyan. He has two sons now—one of them belongs to Zhou Hailan. He’s not a good man either,” Liu Yan grumbled in anger.

“That has nothing to do with him. The child was conceived using in vitro fertilization.”

“Why are you still defending Gu Mingchen? He was so rude and fierce towards you in the hospital!” Liu Yan reprimanded Wu Nian.

“I’m only speaking the truth. Let’s not talk about these anymore. We should eat breakfast.” Wu Nian changed the subject as she looked at the red numbers flashing on the elevator screen.

“You should check out after finishing breakfast. Come stay the night at my house in case Su Xuyan decides to bother you.”

Wu Nian nodded in agreement. After her breakfast, she returned to the room to pack her luggage and checked out of the hotel.

She headed to Liu Yan’s home.

Liu Yan lived in a mountainous villa. There was a one-kilometer distance from the metal gate to the entrance of the villa. Additionally, ten guards were stationed outside the entrance and rotated on constant shifts to protect the villa. There were also real-time surveillance cameras that recorded every movement within a ten-kilometer radius. Such high security was designed to guarantee the safety of a certain powerful individual when he visited the villa.

This heavily guarded place was nothing more but a big cage to Liu Yan.

“What do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll cook it for you,” Wu Nian asked her gently.

“I miss the barbequed pork that you always cook. I’m also craving some Koandrian cuisine. You ought to check the fridge later—it should be full of fresh groceries that they bought,” Liu Yan replied as she stopped in front of the metal gate.

The soldiers would inspect each vehicle thoroughly for any dangerous goods or individuals before letting it pass.

Liu Yan drove towards the villa.

From afar, Wu Nian could hear Bao’s adorable babble. His bright voice made her heart soften affectionately.

There was a butler, chef, two maids, and two nannies that looked after Bao. The two maids were also responsible for managing the garden.

Liu Yan glanced at Wu Nian with raised brows.

Wu Nian nodded her head as she understood Liu Yan’s intentions.

Shen Yiyan never permitted Liu Yan to bring Bao far from the villa. The many people working here were Shen Yiyan’s staff that he specially hired to keep an eye on both of them.

“Darling, did you miss mommy?” Liu Yan cooed and reached out her hands towards Bao.

Bao raised his hands upwards as he sought Liu Yan’s embrace.

Bao was now fifteen months old. He’d already learned to walk, albeit a little clumsily. He even knew how to speak simple greetings such as Mommy, Daddy, Auntie, Granny, and Uncle. Bao could also utter simple words such as eat or play.

He had very tender skin and rosy cheeks. Bao looked like a replica of Liu Yan when she was younger. The only thing different between the two of them was their genders.

Wu Nian’s lips curved upwards as she saw Liu Yan playing with Bao.

Unfortunately, she’d missed out on Yanny’s childhood. Seeing the scene before her made her heart warm.

Liu Yan coddled Bao for a while before she turned to the chef. “Heng Ni, you don’t have to prepare lunch for me today. My friend will cook for me instead. You only have to prepare for Bao and the other staff,” she informed him.

Heng Ni nodded in acknowledgment and returned to his work.

“Let’s go and check the supplies,” Liu Yan said whilst carrying Bao to the fridge.

“There’s pork, chicken feet, and chicken breast. Is it okay if I cook some barbequed pork, boiled chicken feet, and curry chicken?” Wu Nian asked as she opened the fridge.

“I would love it! Heng Ni is from A city, but he has stayed in Ferropene for a few years before his return. The dishes that he cooks are all Ferropenian cuisine. I can’t get used to his cooking,” Liu Yan complained.

“Why don’t you ask Shen Yiyan to hire a local cook from A city?” Wu Nian suggested.

“Shen Yiyan likes Heng Ni’s cooking. He’s very meticulous when it comes to food. I wonder how his wife manages to put up with him,” Liu Yan grumbled as she rolled her eyes.

“Eat, eat, eat,” Bao’s tiny finger pointed towards the fridge. His saliva was nearly pooling out of his mouth.

“Ah, you greedy rascal! I wonder who you take after. Your saliva is dripping out as you speak!” Although Liu Yan chastised Bao, she still patiently wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue.

Who did he take after? Wu Nian sneaked an amused glance at Liu Yan. Haha, isn’t he a perfect copy of her?

She brought the milk out from the fridge.

“You should warm this up before letting him drink it.” Aunt Yang quickly snatched away the Yakult in Wu Nian’s grasp.

“Let her heat it. I will feed him later.” Liu Yan shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. “Bao, you still like Mummy a little more right?” she cooed at him fondly.

Bao’s large eyes remained fixated on the milk. His red tongue darted out to lick his lips adorably.

Liu Yan flicked Bao’s nose exasperatedly. “You treat anyone who gives you milk as your mother. Oh dear! What should I do with you?”

“Bao is still young,” Wu Nian told her gently.

Liu Yan passed her son to Aunt Zhang before grabbing Wu Nian’s hand as she dragged her to a room and closed the door shut. “For safety reasons, I’m buying the plane tickets tonight. We may need to make a stop at Xyperia. That should be fine, right?” Liu Yan told her in a lowered tone to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

“Understood,” Wu Nian nodded her head.

“To prevent rousing the security’s suspicion, I stashed my luggage in yours. I will buy more when we get to Xyperia. Then, we will enjoy our trip for a month before coming back,” Liu Yan said dreamily as she began to visualize their trip.

“I got it. I’ll head towards the kitchen to cook first. We shouldn’t act weirdly today to prevent any suspicion,” Wu Nian advised Liu Yan.

All of a sudden, her phone rang loudly. She looked down at the screen to see an incoming call from Gu Mingchen.

Why is Gu Mingchen calling me?

Warily, she picked up the call…
