You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 375

Chapter 375 Stay With Me Tonight

Liu Yan pulled Shen Yiyan’s shirt so forcefully that her shoulders seemed to be trembling slightly.

Seeing that, Wu Nian turned around and did not go in.

She was sure that Liu Yan was not touched but merely overwhelmed with emotions.

Wu Nian used to live an ordinary life that was peaceful and quiet. All she needed to worry about back then was the trivialities of life. Nevertheless, most of her memories were having fun and hanging out with friends without much concern.

But now, she found herself trapped in the world of royal family and politics.

Utterly dispirited, Wu Nian drove to the hotel where the auction was held before. She remembered that Aaron lived there on the way, so she took out her phone and called him.

“Hey, Aaron, this is Wu Nian. Are you back yet?” Wu Nian asked softly on the phone.

“Sorry, I’m still on the ship. I bet I need another four hours to reach the hotel. Let’s have dinner together tonight.” Aaron’s warm voice came from the other side of the phone.

“Alright.”

“How’s the wound on your arm?” Aaron naturally expressed his concern.

“It’s better. Anyway, I’ll see you tonight then.” Wu Nian’s eyes started brimming with tears as her mind recalled Liu Yan’s reaction back there.

She wiped her tears and took a deep breath. Then, she stopped by the hospital first to change the gauze on her arm and was given two more bottles of ointment. Before leaving the hospital, she called

Aaron again. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“I was just about to call you too. How coincidental is that?” Aaron answered the phone with a grin.

“I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the hotel.” Wu Nian went straight to the subject.

“Please head to the restaurant on the fourth floor and have a seat. The ambiance is great over there. Go on and order whatever you want. You don’t have to wait for me as I need another half an hour.” Aaron instructed gently.

Wu Nian’s lips curled slight into a smile.

If she met Aaron ten years ago, she would, without doubt, fell in love with him. He would be the perfect boyfriend.

Unfortunately, her heart was now bruised, battered, and abandoned on a deserted island. Her only wish now was to take good care of Yanny.

Just ten minutes after she arrived at the hotel restaurant, Aaron appeared, all haggard and smelling like the ocean. That man had not slept for two nights. However, the dark circles under his eyes did not lessen his charisma by the slightest bit.

“Sorry for the wait.” Aaron pulled up the chair and sat down, handing her the menu like a true gentleman. “Could you please order? Stephen’s cook left, so I didn’t eat much for breakfast and lunch. Go on and order as much as you could.”

They had a decent meal last night as Xia He had finished preparing dinner by noon yesterday. She was worried that Gu Mingchen would notice that she was gone. However, Gu Mingchen did not show any unusual reaction yesterday.

Either that, or she was never certain of what was on his mind anyway.

Anyway, it was all good as long as Gu Mingchen did not act on Xia He. It did not matter whether he had deliberately let her go or he did not realize that she had escaped.

“We’d like two filet steak sets, one Foie Gras, one fruit salad, two Blue Oceans, two Borschts, a portion of chicken wings, a portion of French Fries, and a snack platter. Thank you.” Wu Nian skillfully ordered the meal and glanced at Aaron. “Is there anything else you want?”

“These really suit my taste,” Aaron replied politely while handing a blue square jewelry box to Wu Nian.

Wu Nian looked at Aaron, puzzled.

“I told you that I have something for you, so you must accept it,” Aaron uttered softly.

Wu Nian opened the jewelry box and saw a jade necklace inside. It looked like the one that Aaron won in the bid earlier, which he spent thirteen million on.

“Didn’t your Grandma ask you to get this? I… I can’t accept it.” Wu Nian nervously shut the jewelry box, pushing it towards him.

“My Grandma had a jade necklace previously, and she gave it to her eldest daughter-in-law. My mother didn’t have one, so she asked me to buy one for my wife… and that’s… you.” Aaron smiled and gazed at Wu Nian with burning affection in his eyes.

A flash of anxiousness appeared in Wu Nian’s eyes. “I have only met you for a few days. Won’t it be too early for such a decision? You will have to be responsible for your decisions. After all, you still don’t know me well enough.”

“I’m more afraid that you’ll end up with another guy.” Aaron snickered.

“If that happens, it means that I am not meant for you. And although this necklace is for your wife, it makes a huge difference whether you or your Grandma gives it. Besides, the timing matters as well –

whether it was given before or after marriage. I think what your grandmother wants is respect. Thus, if I decide to marry you one day, I will be anticipating this necklace from your Grandma, not as a gift, but as an approval.” Wu Nian explained solemnly.

“The more I get to know you, the more I like you. What should I do?” Aaron responded with a sigh.

“Couples always tend to be infatuated with each other when they start going out, and that’s all because of dopamine. You’ll only see each other’s good side. As time goes by, you will notice more and more flaws, to the point where all their strengths will become irrelevant. You’ll only truly be in love with me when you have accepted all my flaws.” Wu Nian responded to his confession with a half-hearted statement.

“Well, I look forward to that day.” Aaron smiled and did not force her further.

As they are chatting, the waiters started to serve their dishes one after another.

Wu Nian had some food and did not feel as hungry anymore. Then she started talking again, in a more solemn tone. “There is something I want to tell you. But before I say it, can you promise to keep it a secret?”

“Of course.” Aaron agreed swiftly without thinking.

“Are you aware that Shen Yiyan has a wife?” Wu Nian questioned.

“He is a young and outstanding president and politician of A City. Besides seeing him on TV, I have met him a few times in person. He is a charismatic man, and his wife is also very elegant and graceful.” Aaron put out his comment.

“Liu Yan wants to take her child away from Shen Yiyan. As long as he has negotiated a deal with Mo Xue, Shen Yiyan promised to let Liu Yan bring the child traveling for a month, and that will be the best

time for Liu Yan to escape. Are you able to help me?” Wu Nian requested sincerely.

“In that case, let them travel to Ustrana. I can’t do anything elsewhere. If they can come to Ustrana, I’ll make sure that they’ll disappear without a trace. Shen Yiyan will be absolutely clueless.” Aaron promised with a confident smile.

“Then I thank you for Liu Yan in advance.”

“But, I’d like to have a small request.” Aaron held Wu Nian’s hand.

“Yes? “ Wu Nian responded readily.

“I’m your boyfriend. With Shen Yiyan’s wide connections, he must have heard about this. Now, if Liu Yan disappears in Ustrana, he would definitely link her disappearance to me. If you stay in A City, I’m worried that you will be in danger. In that case, why don’t you come and stay with me in Ustrana?” Aaron requested.

“But it’ll be more suspicious if I stay in Ustrana. No matter how formidable Shen Yiyan is, I doubt he would have me killed.” Wu Nian tactfully rejected the suggestion.

Aaron’s eyes dimmed as he lowered his head and kissed Wu Nian’s hand. “I admit that I’m still not good enough. After all, you’re still not convinced to leave home and follow me.”

Wu Nian felt guilty when he said that; it was as if she was using him. “I have four days off every month, so I will go to Ustrana every month until you want me to stop going.”

A look of adoration appeared on Aaron’s face just then as he touched her lips tenderly. “Stay with me tonight.”
