You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 365

Chapter 365 Keep Her By My Side Forever

With his domineering stare and his commanding tone, it was as if he had something important to tell her now. Thus, she was left with no room for rejection.

Wu Nian hesitated for a moment. He asked Stephen to help Liu Yan. Moreover, we will be seeing each other often once I live at his place. As his employee, I should be on good terms with him.

“How may I help you, Mr. Gu?” Wu Nian inquired patiently. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He looked at her and responded in a deep voice, “Let’s talk privately. Come with me.”

Then, he got up and walked straight to the door with his hands in his pockets.

“What a bad-tempered person. Nian, don’t follow him,” Liu Yan scowled displeasedly and took Wu Nian’s hand.

“Let me find out what he has to say. It’ll be less than 10 minutes. Wait for me here.” Wu Nian then turned to Aaron. “Can you wait for me?”

He nodded with a smile. “Call me if you need anything. My phone is always switched on for you.”

“Thanks.” With that, she headed out and followed Gu Mingchen at a distance.

He brought her to the garden outside and looked at the blooming honeysuckle in front of him.

Wu Nian stood behind him.

“Do you know the name of this flower?” he questioned.

“It’s honeysuckle. We used to have a lot of these in the orphanage. The aunt who took care of us told us that honeysuckle is really good for our health. It can help reduce inflammation and detoxify the blood. They flower four times a year, from May to October. But the duration for each bloom is very short -about a week. She always brought us out to pluck the flowers, and she dried them on bamboo threshing baskets.” Wu Nian picked a flower and plucked its petals. “I remember her giving me some honeysuckle tea to drink one time when my gums were swollen and sore. The swelling actually reduced in a day.”

Gu Mingchen turned around and gazed at her flawless face as she spoke.

Bai Rong did grow up in an orphanage when she was a child. That’s why she feels so real. She looked calm and gentle when she was reminiscing just now.

I know she did not get plastic surgery for aesthetic purposes. Maybe, she did it because she did not want me to recognize her. But… Why?

His heart ached at the thought, but he quickly collected himself.

“Once we’re back in A City, you’ll have to start working at my house. You need to stay overnight at my place, and you can only rest four days a month. Will this hinder your relationship with your foreign boyfriend, Aaron?” Gu Mingchen probed.

“I will arrange my time reasonably. Besides, Aaron has a business in A City. After he returns to Ustrana and gives the necklace to his grandmother, he will come to A City,” Wu Nian explained.

“It sounds like both of you are quite close to one another. But during your previous interview, you said that you had broken up with your ex-boyfriend. So, I assume both of you’ve just met each other recently?”

Wu Nian gave him a faint smile. “Aaron said that the destiny of a couple does not depend on how long they’ve known each other. The right person only appears at the right time, in the right place, and on the right occasion.”

“The right place, the right time, the right occasion, and the right person? These four points seem to be difficult to achieve,” Gu Mingchen commented thoughtfully.

Wu Nian nodded in response and lowered her eyes. Gu Mingchen and I did not meet at the right time, in the right place, and on the right occasion. So, we won’t be the right person for each other.

While she was staring at the ground, he plucked a honeysuckle and put it in her hair.

Her heart skipped a beat. Feeling that it was an inappropriate act, she quickly took it down and frowned at him.

But he continued to watch her with a pensive look on his face as if he had not done anything.

“Mr. Gu, if there is nothing else, I’ll go first. Liu Yan and my boyfriend are waiting for me.” Wu Nian dropped the honeysuckle on the ground and dusted off her hands.

“Wait. I still have something important to say,” Gu Mingchen said.

Wu Nian took a big step back, bowed her head, and listened respectfully.

“My family condition is quite different than other ordinary families. I’m a single parent, raising my two sons alone. But I often have to go outstation, accompany clients, attend social events and meetings, and work overtime. Once you start working for me, you’ll be the only one at home, taking care of the kids. If it clashes with your date, what will you do?” he asked.

“Rest assured, Mr. Gu. I will arrange my schedule well.”

“How well can you arrange it?” he continued to question.

“Aaron has a flexible schedule. He can work around my schedule. Besides, I’ll have time after I send the kids to school.”

Gu Mingchen’s face instantly darkened, and he said sarcastically, “What a good idea. By the way, I’m a single man. Is your boyfriend okay with the fact that you’ll be living with me?”

“Aaron is a magnanimous person. He doesn’t speculate about others out of pettiness, nor does he sow discord out of jealousy. I’m sure he will respect my job,” Wu Nian defended.

“Don’t forget that my condition is for you to take care of my children until my wife comes back. And all of the conditions I’ve stated before will be listed in the contract. Moreover, Aaron is a nobleman from Ustrana. Even if he agrees to your lifestyle, his family won’t be happy with it. So, are you sure you want to work with me? Ms. Wu is a smart woman.” He examined her expression, trying to see if he had made her give up on the idea of being Aaron’s girlfriend.

Wu Nian looked at him in the eyes and said, “For Mr. Gu, the only thing you have to consider is to hire me or not. The rest are my personal matters.”

“Your future is also something I need to consider. I don’t want to see my sons getting hurt by your abrupt departure by the time you get married. That would be a huge impact on my children’s emotional well-being. What do you think, Ms. Wu?” Gu Mingchen said solemnly.

Tears started to well up in her eyes. Is he trying to force me to break up with Aaron?

Blinking her tears away, Wu Nian retaliated, “Don’t worry. Since I have promised you, I will definitely keep my word. At the same time, I hope Mr. Gu understands that this contract involves mutual

responsibility. Before you marry again, you cannot fire me for no reason. Can Mr. Gu do your part as well?”

“Of course. I will abide by the contract after it’s signed. When will you sign the contract?”

“In a week. After returning to A City, I will contact Mr. Gu.”

He nodded in response.

“Goodbye.” Wu Nian quickly turned around and walked out of the garden.

Gu Mingchen locked his eyes on her retreating figure until she was out of his sight. Then, he bent down and picked up the honeysuckle that she had thrown away. Honeysuckle symbolizes devotion and everlasting bonds.

He did not know why Bai Rong had changed her name, appearance, and DNA, but he would not marry anyone except for Bai Rong. I will keep her by my side forever…
