You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394 A Trip Down Memory Lane

As Wu Nian gazed into his eyes that resembled a vast sea of stars, she felt as though she was being sucked into them.

Logically, she should rebuff him, but her heart yearned for the exact opposite.

I’ve always wanted to go on a vacation with him, but I never had the opportunity. Can I go this time?

In reality, his remark of no one knowing them there was the most tempting aspect that was luring her in.

“If we go, how long will we be staying there?” she queried.

Upon hearing this, a smile bloomed on Gu Mingchen’s face. “You decide. If you want to have fun longer, I’ll accompany you for a few more days. Conversely, if you want to come back, I’ll accompany you back.”

This promise resolved her worry and helped her come to a decision.

“Okay. In that case, let’s not meet up tonight to avoid rousing suspicion. We’ll meet in Pillere,” Wu Nian suggested.

All at once, Gu Mingchen dipped his head and kissed her deeply. As his eyes shone brightly with undisguised delight, he echoed tenderly, “We’ll meet in Pillere.”

Then, he left. Meanwhile, Wu Nian checked out of the hotel and went back to pack her luggage.

Since the collaboration was now set in stone, and her vacation was just around the corner, she needed to have a talk with Aaron.

On her way back, she booked a ticket back to Lightspring without Gu Mingchen’s knowledge.

She arrived at the waiting lounge at nine o’clock at night, and she mentally converted the time. Xyperia is seven hours ahead of Ustrana. Since it’s nine o’clock at night here, it’s probably two o’clock in the afternoon in Lightspring.

With that, she gave Aaron a call.

When Aaron heard that she was coming, he inquired with a smile, “Have you had your dinner?”

“Yup. I booked a flight ticket to Lightspring, and I’ll be arriving tomorrow morning,” Wu Nian stated, cutting right to the chase.

“Really? Are you serious?” Aaron was ecstatic.

“I’ve got something to discuss with you,” Wu Nian murmured apologetically.

At this, Aaron’s gaze dimmed. Nevertheless, he still replied mannerly, “Okay. Your flight is ten minutes before nine, Xyperia time?”

“Yeah.”

“Ring me up when you arrive. I’ll go and pick you up at the airport,” Aaron offered gentlemanly.

“Sure.”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Nian went to the refreshment lounge for a drink. She took a disposable cup and mixed in some hot water after pouring half a cup of cold water.

“I caught sight of you from afar, and I even thought that I mistook someone else for you. Why… you’re going to Lightspring?” Su Xuyan’s voice drifted over.

Upon hearing his voice, Wu Nian turned and looked at him with a placid gaze before inclining her head a fraction. “You’re returning to the country, Mr. Su?”

The expression on Su Xuyan’s face was rather strange at this time. “Would you like to listen to my story?”

“Then, how can I forget resentment? I’m living a tortured life every day, or more accurately, my life is a living hell,” Su Xuyan muttered sorrowfully.

At this question, Wu Nian’s lips curved into a smile. “Convert it into something more meaningful. For instance, your dream when you were young, achieving even greater success in your career, attuning yourself to the kindness around you, or perhaps you can even find a suitable woman and date her. It’s very difficult to let it go, but when you finally manage to accomplish it one day, you’ll be rewarded with happiness. So, why make life difficult for yourself?”

“In that case, can I pursue you? I promise that all those despicable things in my past will never happen again, and I’ll start over for real,” Su Xuyan asserted in a seemingly sincere manner.

“Nope,” Wu Nian declined right away. “Sorry, but I have a boyfriend. You should find a woman who has no boyfriend. A wrong start is the beginning of a painful life.”

“Are you referring to Aaron? He’ll never marry you, and you can take my word for that,” Su Xuyan contended firmly.

“That has nothing to do with you, Mr. Su.” Wu Nian then took a sip of water.

However, Su Xuyan merely stared at her without leaving. “Did Mo Xue decide to collaborate with you or Gu Mingchen in the end? I saw him heading to her manor as well this morning.”

“I’m sure you know who’s the boss behind me, no? Although Gu Mingchen is from a prominent family, luxury accessories aren’t his specialty. Mo Xue isn’t no fool, so I think she knows who she should collaborate with,” Wu Nian answered implicitly.

There was no need for her to hide the fact that Mo Xue chose to collaborate with her, for Su Xuyan would know about it in no time anyway.

“You’re an excellent employee. I wonder what terms you would have agreeing to jump ship,” Su Xuyan mused with a smile, putting on the most winning, alluring, sincere, and captivating smile ever.

Undeniably, he has quite the good looks, Wu Nian inwardly admitted.

“I’m only helping Shen Yiyan because Liu Yan is my friend. Actually, I’m not his employee. I majored in education.”

“Then, would you like me to get you a job? The director in charge of the Education Ministry is a friend of mine, so I can speak to him,” Su Xuyan offered enthusiastically.
