You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 409

Chapter 409 He Still Loves You

There was a bed with two bedside tables in his room, alongside a television and a built-in closet. There was also a pot of kaffir lily on the window ledge. Its flowers gave out a nice fragrance that filled the room.

Soon, Gu Mingchen came out of the washroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He gave her a cold stare and asked, “Do you want me to remove your clothes, or do you want to do it yourself?”

“I’ll do it myself,” Wu Nian lowered her head and removed her coat and her shirt.

She has lost a lot of weight recently. I wonder what’s her weight now? Forty-five kilograms?

“You’re too skinny. I feel like I’m touching a skeleton now,” he sneered while wrapping his hands around her waist. He then pinned her on the bed and looked at her condescendingly.

Wu Nian tilted her head aside to avoid his stare.

Gu Mingchen gritted his teeth. “What a party pooper.”

He moved away from her and sat on the bed.

Wu Nian felt a whiff of cold air on her body, so she grabbed her coat and covered herself. She gave him a puzzled look. Why did he stop?

Gu Mingchen lit a cigarette and puffed at it.

The cigarette smoke choked her lungs, and she turned her face away from it.

Gu Mingchen approached her, lifted her chin, and forced her to look at him. “Look at you. How do you expect me to get turned on?”

Wu Nian shoved his hand away. “Eat some pills then.”

“And what will happen to the baby if I take those pills? Or you don’t care about the well-being of the baby?” Gu Mingchen scoffed.

A line formed between Wu Nian’s brows. “Do you have to talk to me like this all the time? Does making sarcastic remarks please you?”

“And what about you? Have you done your part? If you haven’t done it well, how do you expect me to treat you well?” Gu Mingchen retaliated, “Have you even learned anything when you studied psychology?”

Those questions rendered Wu Nian speechless. Gu Mingchen, too, did not say anything after that.

The atmosphere was so tense that it was as if the air had frozen.

After regaining her composure, she looked at him. “We’re doing this for Yanny, aren’t we?”

“Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even want you to be here,” Gu Mingchen continued sneering. “But how do you expect me to perform when you fail to turn me on?”

The woman knew what he was implying. She instantly hopped onto his body, lowered her head, and started kissing him on his lips.

He did not respond to her, his expression remaining as cold as ice.

At his lack of a reaction, she panicked and stuck her hand under the towel on his waist.

Gu Mingchen immediately grabbed hold of her hand and stopped her.

Wu Nian looked into his eyes and felt embarrassed.

What does he want from me? Does he want to have a kid with me, or does he just want to humiliate me?

The man gazed into her eyes and put out the cigarette. He then grabbed her by her waist, held the back of her head with his hand, and planted a kiss on her lips.

Wu Nian heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, she felt a sudden pain from the intrusion in her body, and she could only clench her fists tightly and knit her brows in pain.

Gu Mingchen looked at her with a deadpan expression as if he was not enjoying what he was doing at all.

She dared not look at him. Instead, she focused on his abs and broke out in cold sweats.

Wu Nian was utterly exhausted when they were finished.

Gu Mingchen got up from his bed, walked to the washroom, and said icily, “Put on your clothes. I’ll get someone to send you back, and I’ll get someone to pick you up again tomorrow at the same time.”

“All right.”

After getting into Zhang Xingyu’s car, she looked at the watch and realized it was midnight. Since the journey home would take about an hour and a half, she could not stop herself from letting her imagination run wild.

Zhang Xingyu peeped at her a few times, looking as if he wanted to say something.

Wu Nian noticed his expression. “Yes?”

“Mr. Gu treats you very well. He was so lost when you didn’t contact him. He couldn’t even focus on his work,” he began. “But after you agreed to come, he seems to feel better and has become more emotionally stable.”

“That’s because he’s worried for Yanny,” Wu Nian explained.

“Yanny? What about him?” Zhang Xingyu wondered.

Wu Nian guessed Zhang Xingyu did not know her relationship with Gu Mingshen. Instead of explaining, she just responded with a grin and looked out of the window.

The night was dark and gloomy. Though there were street lamps along the road, they were all dimly lit. Everything around was still pitch-black.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep right away.

When she woke up, she realized she was lying on a bed in a ward. The room smelled of antiseptic.

“You’re awake,” Zhang Xingyu stated, smiling down at her.

“How long have I been here?” Wu Nian wanted to sit up.

The man instantly stopped her from moving. “Please, Ms. Wu. Just stay still. Do you know you had a fever last night?”

She was aware of it. That was why she made herself a bowl of water chestnut to cool her body down.

“I caught cold last night. Maybe it’s because of the breeze. Where’s my bag?”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Wu. Your bag is in the drawer. Mr. Gu wanted you to have a good rest,” Zhang Xingyu said, ”He was here with you the entire night, and he even hired two caretakers to look after you.

“I know he cares for you because I’ve never seen him treat any other girl like this before. Of course, it could also be because you’re a beautiful woman,” he grinned and scratched his head awkwardly.

Wu Nian lowered her eyes. Gu Mingchen was here the whole night?

“Please thank him on my behalf. I’m sure I’ll feel better soon,” Wu Nian promised. “I should go home soon. My dog is waiting for me.”

“But… Mr. Gu will get mad if you leave the hospital without his permission,” Zhang Xingyu uttered.

“Let me take care of this.” She knew she must have put him in a difficult position. She took out her bag and gave Gu Mingchen a call.

Yet, Gu Mingchen rejected her call.

“Did you call Mr. Gu? I believe he’s conducting a meeting now. Why don’t you text him instead?” Zhang Xingyu reminded suggested.

While she was typing her message, Gu Mingchen called back and asked in a cold voice, “What is it?”

“I want to go home. It only caught the seasonal flu. I’ll feel better after taking some medicines,” she said.

The man on the line snarled, “You wouldn’t have fainted if you knew how to take good care of yourself. You stay in the hospital and recuperate, and I’ll take care of your dog. Don’t get me wrong. I’m only doing this for Yanny. Are you done? I’ve to get back to my meeting now.” At that, Gu Mingchen immediately ended the call.

Zhang Xingyu was taken aback. “Mr. Gu called you amidst his meetings? As a workaholic, he has never done this before! I genuinely think he’s in love with you.”

Wu Nian was sick of explaining things to the nosy assistant. Before she could say or do anything else, her phone rang again. This time, it was Aaron. Instead of answering the call first, she said to Zhang Xingyu, “I’m hungry.”

“I’ll get you something to eat then.” The man hurriedly got up and went to search for food.

Once Zhang Xingyu had left, Wu Nian answered the call.

“Something bad happened,” Aaron told her in a solemn voice.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
