You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 369 Get Back To The Room In Three Minutes

Although Wu Nian's heart skipped a beat, she forced herself to remain calm and stared at him. Given that her surgery had been carried out in Shen Yiyan's secret base, there was no way Su Xuyan could have known she was Bai Rong. Therefore, she told herself to stay calm.

“Mr. Su, you must have mistaken me for someone else. I've never undergone plastic surgery,” Wu Nian replied as her lips curled into a faint smile

Su Xuyan sat next to her and scanned her from head to toe. A moment later, he gritted his teeth and said, “Shen Yiyan told me everything. Do you think you still have to go on pretending?”

“I'm genuinely curious about what Mr. Shen told you.” Wu Nian kept staring at him squarely.

I cannot get flustered. All of my efforts will go down the drain if I let the cat out of the bag.

“He saved you back then. After that, he poached my main technical staff to develop an antidote for you. Also, you requested to have plastic surgery because you wish to take care of your son, Gu Yan,” Su Xuyan asserted.

Wu Nian squinted. “Develop an antidote for me? What does that mean?”

Su Xuyan paused for a while as he glanced at Wu Nian. Then, he knitted his brows and continued, “Have you lost your memory or hypnotized yourself?

Once he finished, Wu Nian rolled her eyes at him. It looks like Shen Yiyan didn’t tell him anything. It's all his own guess.

“I don't have any memory loss, nor have I hypnotized myself. On the contrary, I remember every single thing in my life,” Wu Nian rebutted confidently, “Mr. Su, you've obviously mistaken me for someone else.”

“In that case, why would you try to get close to Gu Mingchen?” Su Xuyan continued to question her. “This is a private matter, and I don't think that I'll have to report to you,” Wu Nian replied coldly and stood up. After calming herself down, she glanced at Aaron and said, “Let's go.”

"Are you really not Bai Rong?” Su Xuyan still couldn't believe her words.

“It's up to you to believe or not.” Wu Nian purposely held Aaron's arm.

"Can you swear? If you're lying, you will never be with Gu Mingchen for the rest of your life.” After catching up with them, Su Xuyan stopped Wu Nian from leaving. His action made her want to swear harshly.

Irritated, she lifted her hand near her face. “I swear I'm not Bai Rong. If I'm lying, I will never be with Gu Mingchen for the rest of my life.”

Then, she put down her hand and asked, “Is that enough? Mr. Su, please don't pester me again as you'll affect the relationship between my boyfriend and I.”

Su Xuyan gazed at Aaron disappointedly.

Bai Rong is a narrow-minded woman. Back then, she wouldn't even glance at any other men when she fell in love with Gu Mingchen. Also, since he isn't good at lying, she definitely won't swear against her own will. In this case, perhaps she really isn't Bai Rong.

He had completely failed to sound her out.

Then, he left and dejectedly sat at the seaside alone.

Bai Rong, where are you?

He promised himself to compensate for Bai Rong and wouldn't hurt her if he could find her.

When Wu Nian and Aaron hopped into the vehicle, Liu Yan was already waiting for them.

Wu Nian had long realized Aaron had a very high EQ. Even though he cared about something, he wouldn't ask if it would become a physical burden that upset others.

She felt relaxed to be with such a man.

He definitely wasn’t an idiot just because he didn't ask questions. As he was smart and observant, he would ponder over anything until he could make a convincing judgment.

Hence, when it was time to end a relationship, he would do so resolutely. He wouldn't look back even if his girlfriend begged him to get back together.

In fact, many women would fall for a man like Aaron. He was gentlemanly, generous, tolerant, and gentle; his ex-girlfriends often found it difficult to get a new boyfriend.

Given that he was almost perfect, other men could hardly be on par with him.

Liu Yan glanced at both of them when she was sitting in the rear seat. Aaron kept smiling, while Wu Nian looked rather calm too.

“The longer I look at you guys, the more convinced I am that you're a perfect match,” Liu Yan sighed.

Wu Nian didn't reply but only looked out the window. The sunlight perfectly seeped through the gaps of the leaves, forming many flickering spots of light as the wind blew.

Not long after that, they arrived at Stephen's villa. Wu Nian saw some people building wooden boats not far from them.

"What are they doing?” Liu Yan asked bewilderedly.

“I think they're preparing for burial at sea,” Aaron explained.

The three of them then entered a room together.

Rosa and Ollie lay on a board silently, looking as though they were sleeping soundly.

Around them were many flowers, and melancholic music filled the room. Besides, Stephen was standing aside and looked at them. Wu Nian came up to Stephen and stood next to him. “For Christians, there is no death but eternal happiness. For Buddhists, death is a form of salvation. The deceased may become immortal in heaven or reincarnate.”

Stephen looked at Wu Nian and said, “They were jumping up and down yesterday but are lying here today. I can't see them anymore after today.”

"We always hurt those who are closest to us. After all, we can only hurt those who truly care about us. Why must we give up on ourselves or render ourselves in sorrow to hurt those who truly love us?” Wu Nian stated earnestly as she looked at Stephen.

Tears welled up in Stephen's eyes as he looked at her.

After a while, she put on a faint smile and continued, “Try your best to live a happy life so that your children won't have to worry about you. Perhaps, you should even get a new wife and have a new child. Live a busy but meaningful life so that you can still reminisce about your wonderful past when your life finally comes to an end.”

“My daughters don’t want me anyway. Why would they be worried about me?” Stephen said dejectedly.

"Since they don't want you, why should you fall to pieces for them? Right now, you've to take good care of yourself. Besides, since you're going to stay up all night today, I think you should get some rest now,” Wu Nian proposed.

Stephen nodded and replied, “I'm indeed tired. By the way, I've put the drawing you like on the steamship. My steward will hand it over to you when you're leaving tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Mr. Stephen.”

“I should thank you for seeking justice for my son and identifying the murderer who killed my daughters,” Stephen yawned and continued, “I'm sleepy and should get some rest now. Besides, I don't think I've to pull an all-nighter. Since they didn't wish to see me when they were alive, it will be even more so after they're dead.” Stephen turned around and strode out of the room with both hands at his back.

Liu Yan tilted her head to look at the man’s retreating figure. “What an unpredictable but decisive old man!”

“Perhaps only he knows how grieving he is deep down. Well, I'm a little tired too. I should get a shower and take a nap in the study,” Wu Nian said tiredly.

"Okay, let me accompany you,” her friend answered without hesitation.

Wu Nian nodded in response and added, “I'm gonna use a room. Please guard it for me.”

Liu Yan gave her an "Ok" gesture.

Wu Nian knocked on Stephen's room while carrying her clothes in her arms. She then asked politely, "Hi, may I use a room with a bathroom to take a shower?”

Stephen nodded and pointed at the room near the staircase.

“Thank you.” Wu Nian and Liu Yan entered the room together.

Immediately after the two women left, Stephen called Gu Mingchen and said, “Hey lad, I'm doing you a favor now. Get back to your room in three minutes. Don't be early nor late. You only have three minutes. Got it?”
