You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 333

Chapter 333 I Finally Found You

A surge of emotions overwhelmed Wu Nian. She felt so blessed to have a friend like Liu Yan.

This outing was supposed to be a getaway for Liu Yan so she could relax a little, but Wu Nian had spoiled it for her.

She could not even go on a holiday now, yet she did not utter a word of complaint.

Having a friend like her was something everyone could only wish for.

Wu Nian tightened her arms around her and choked out tearfully, “I can’t thank you enough, Liu Yan.”

The latter smiled as she patted Wu Nian on her back. “Come on, don’t cry. If I were the one in trouble today, I’m sure you would do the same, or probably even more.”

“I’ll go with you after I find Yanny,” Wu Nian promised.

“Don’t pressure yourself. I know you won’t be able to enjoy the trip knowing Yanny is not living a happy life. Don’t worry about me and go ahead and do what you have to. Let me know if you need any help,” Liu Yan assured her.

“What about you then? You finally got some time to yourself,” Wu Nian asked.

“I won’t feel lonely. Bao is keeping me company.”

“I’ll go with you after I find Yanny,” Wu Nian insisted.

“Alright. We’ll see how things go after you find him.”

They headed back to the hotel. After seeing Liu Yan off, Wu Nian turned and walked into the hotel lounge.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Nian!” Gu Yan’s voice rang out loud and clear as he ran toward Wu Nian.

Wu Nian felt like a thousand arrows had just pierced through her heart. Her mind went blank before a tide of relief and affection washed over her when she saw the boy.

Wu Nian bent down and opened her arms wide as the boy threw himself into her welcoming embrace.

Joy filled his muffled voice as he exclaimed, “I finally found you, Nian!”

Wu Nian’s eyes turned red as tears welled up in her eyes. “How did you get here? Do you know how dangerous it is to come here on your own?” She sounded agitated as tears started falling down uncontrollably.

Gu Yan pushed himself out of her arms and reached for her face, wiping away her tears. “The woman with you said you’re staying at Oasis Hotel, so I came over. After Daddy put me in the car, I sneaked out and avoided the surveillance cameras. It so happened that a man was leaving, so I slipped into his car. I got off when he reached Shuiyue International. I asked people for directions from there and reached Oasis Hotel. I didn’t know which room you’re staying in, so I waited for you here at the lounge.”

Wu Nian caressed his pink and chubby cheeks while shaking her head sternly. “I don’t want you to do this again. It’s really dangerous to just run away without telling your parents. What if a random stranger snatches you away?”

“It’s okay. My parents are the ones who raised me before I came to Daddy. My life was pretty good back then. The worst thing that can happen is that I get sold to someone else again. Who knows, maybe my new parents will love me more?” Gu Yan dismissed her worry with a wide smile on his face.

“Does your father not love you?” Wu Nian asked with concern and pain written all over her face.

The boy shook his head. “Daddy already has Xin. He never asks me what I want, and I don’t want to ask him for things either. I want to work for it myself as I don’t want to depend on him. That way even if he abandons me, I won’t feel sad about it. I’ll try my best to get used to a new environment, but if I can’t, I’ll do everything I can to change it.”

“Of course! Everything he does is just so that Daddy can go and visit Ms. Zhou. He wants Daddy to feel like he needs her so Daddy will marry her,” the smart boy answered.

A proud smile curved Wu Nian’s lips as she looked at her child. Despite being young in age, he was observant and wise in reading the people around him.

“This shows children might not know what is best for them. Xin still thinks his mother is the best, but the fact is, his mother is leading him astray. So you have to wait till you turn eighteen if you want to live with whoever you like. You’ll be able to make a good decision by then. Even if it turns out to be a wrong move, you can be responsible for your own actions when you’re an adult,” Wu Nian elucidated.

Gu Yan dipped his head in disappointment before looking up at her with watery eyes. “Does this mean you’re informing Daddy to come and pick me up?”

“Yeah,” Wu Nian answered honestly.

But the boy still looked confused. “Then can I borrow five hundred from you? I’ll return you ten times the money in the future.”

Wu Nian knew he wanted the money to go back to his parents in Horington.

There were several possible scenarios if he did that. First, he might end up getting lost. Second, he might get into an accident. Third, his parents might notify Gu Mingchen after he reached Horington.

“Let’s go back to my room and rest first, is that okay? I’ll get you the money then,” Wu Nian tried to persuade him.

Gu Yan nodded obediently and went with her to her room.

She quickly typed a message for Gu Mingchen and sent it off guiltily as she closed the door behind her. Gu Yan is in my room. Come and pick him up. Please pay extra attention to him in the future and care for him more.
