You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338 It Is Normal For Men To Have Their Needs

“Nian! It’s me, Yanny! I stole my daddy’s phone to call you. He’s having a video conference right now!” Yanny’s excited voice echoed from the phone.

When Wu Nian heard Gu Yan’s voice, her heart warmed immediately. It was as if his bright voice was a sun that melted away her sorrows. Instinctively, her lips curled into a smile.

“What are you doing right now? What did you have for lunch?” Wu Nian asked him with concern.

“I’m talking to you right now. I don’t know what I’ll be having for lunch. I think daddy will bring us to a restaurant. Nian, can I call you often?” Gu Yan asked hesitantly.

“Of course.” Wu Nian thought for a while before she continued, “However, your daddy will find out that you’ve been using his phone. I’ll go to your house and stash a new phone in the shoe rack outside. You can take it secretly and call me when you are free! I’ll save my phone number on the phone. That way, we can video call each other.”

“Your idea is amazing! I’ll put the phone back now,” Gu Yan replied happily.

“Alright.” Wu Nian bid him farewell and ended the phone call.

“Did that child call you willingly?” Wu Nian asked with a raised brow.

“That’s right. I didn’t expect it as well. I’m heading out in the afternoon. I’ll be using your car later,” Wu Nian said with joy gleaming in her eyes.

“The two of you have a strong mother and son bond. He likes you so much even though he just met you,” Liu Yan sighed and looked at Bao with a trace of sadness in her eyes as she lowered her gaze.

“You won’t be separated from Bao,” Wu Nian clutched Liu Yan’s hand and reassured her comfortingly.

“I really hope so,” Liu Yan sighed again and walked towards Bao. “If possible, I want to give him a stable and happy childhood,” she said and caressed his pink cheeks fondly.

Wu Nian chose to remain silent as the room was full of Shen Yiyan’s men. If she said too much, Liu Yan’s expressive personality would get her into trouble.

Wu Nian turned towards the kitchen and began preparing lunch. After her meal, she drove Liu Yan’s car out of the villa. Firstly, she headed to a mobile store to purchase a phone card before buying a new phone and saved her mobile number on the phone.

After she was done, she put the phone on silent mode and placed it in her purse before driving towards Gu Mingchen’s house.

She knew that she wouldn’t be able to explain her presence at Gu Mingchen’s house. Thus, she decided to take the stairs to avoid bumping into him at the elevator.

When she reached the ninth floor, she noticed four suspicious men lingering around Gu Mingchen’s residence. A feeling of uneasiness rose in her heart.

She walked over to the unit opposite Gu Mingchen’s residence and knocked on the door.

“Can I help you?” a beautiful woman opened the door and asked Wu Nian warily.

“I’m here to collect your parcels for delivery,” Wu Nian said.

“No one in my house has parcels to deliver,” the woman responded in confusion.

Wu Nian took a step back and craned her neck to look at the unit number. “Ah, I’m so sorry. It seems that I’m at the wrong address,” she apologized.

Next, she knocked on Gu Mingchen’s unit, and Gu Yan greeted the door.

A bright beam spread across his face at the sight of Wu Nian. Immediately, he opened his mouth but was cut off by Wu Nian, “Hello, I’m here to collect your parcels. Are your parents home?”

“Delivery?” Gu Yan asked her quizzically.

“Close the door,” she whispered lowly as she stepped inside.

Gu Yan obeyed her instructions obediently. “Nian, why are you here?”

“Hide this.” Wu Nian shoved the phone in Gu Yan’s palm.

All of a sudden, Gu Mingchen strode out of his study. Promptly, Wu Nian pushed Gu Yan behind her to block Gu Mingchen’s line of sight. The guilt in her turned her face as red as a peach.

“Why are you here?” Gu Mingchen asked her suspiciously.

“I realized that my earrings are missing. I may have dropped them here yesterday, so I came here to look for them. Also, I saw two people lurking around the stairs when I came. They were staring at your door. You should get someone to check them out,” Wu Nian stated her reason for knocking on the door.

If only those men weren’t loitering outside! She could have left after putting the phone in the shoe rack.

“You climbed nine floors?” Gu Mingchen’s eyes narrowed in disbelief.

Wu Nian couldn’t help but feel frustrated at his question. He really is a good-for-nothing that doesn’t know how to appreciate other’s kindness!

“Why are you so surprised? I usually take the stairs as an exercise. The most important point is that your house is under surveillance. It’s up to you if you want to check,” Wu Nian snapped and prepared to leave. “Call me if you find the earrings. I have things to attend to.”

“You’re still young, but your temper is short and nasty. Search for it yourself. If you can’t find it, it means that your earring isn’t here,” Gu Mingchen scoffed at her outburst.

“Excuse me. I’m not as young as you think. I’m twenty-eight this year.”

Gu Mingchen looked at her silently before he spoke again, “You are aware that you’re not young anymore. Yet, your temper is still as reckless as ever. Didn’t you learn some lessons from your past experiences and failures?”

Wu Nian pressed her lips together angrily when she heard his response.

She could feel a blazing fire flicker in her gut as angry sparks began to gleam in her eyes. He seemed to berate her at every opportunity. In his gaze, everything that came out of her mouth was wrong. As she grew older, her tolerance waned thinner, and her self-esteem grew.

Although she felt furious, she smothered her anger with a deep breath. Wu Nian could not find a way to vent her frustrations.

She never wore earrings anyway. Asking to search for those earrings was an excuse that she had crafted. In haste to leave this place, she turned towards the kitchen under the pretense of searching for her imaginary earrings.

At the edge of her vision, she saw Gu Mingchen appear at the entrance of the kitchen. “Since you can’t find it, you must not have dropped them here,” he said coldly.

Gu Mingchen outstretched his hand to pinch her earlobe. Wu Nian felt a brief stab of pain on her ear as she batted his hand away and glared at him with displeasure.

“Yanny found these earrings in my room earlier. The children must have played around with it.” Gu Mingchen gave her a pair of earrings in his palm.

Wu Nian couldn’t help but scoff in disbelief.

She never wore earrings in the first place. Besides, she didn’t think that Gu Mingchen would buy earrings for her as their relationship was rocky and unstable.

Yanny and Ruoxin were both boys. Why would they be interested in earrings? It is impossible that they would play with earrings.

Since he found these earrings in his room, he must be close to that woman. She must have visited his room and dropped them by accident.

“I’m sorry. These earrings do not belong to me.” Wu Nian returned the earrings to Gu Mingchen stiffly.

Gu Mingchen’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion. If the earrings didn’t belong to her, who else would they belong to? Zhou Hailan does not wear earrings due to her sensitive skin.

Wu Nian brushed past him coldly as she prepared to leave. Yet, she halted again. There were some words which she could no longer keep in anymore.

“Mr. Gu, you are young and healthy. It’s normal for you to have carnal cravings. However, you live in a small space and have two young kids. I suggest that you move your frivolous activities to the hotel instead of your bedroom.”

“How is that any of your business!” Gu Mingchen glared at her as his eyes darkened at her implication.
