You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390 What Does It Have To Do With Me

Gu Mingchen was a proud man.

But Wu Nian had used his love for her against him, trying her hardest to exhibit her wayward, assertive, petulant, and crude personality so that he could see how difficult it was to get along with her.

She was confident that she would be able to repel him very soon if she kept this up until one day, he would finally exhaust all his love for her.

But it wouldn’t matter to her. She could love him enough for the two of them and she knew that this was the right thing to do.

Gu Mingchen had sacrificed enough for her.

She could still remember how he looked in his military uniform—upright, plainspoken and dignified, able to win wars before they even begin. His lofty presence was the kind that was profound and inherent.

She could also remember the first time they met. He had said, “I’m a soldier. I will protect you.”

He had attended military school at a young age and started from Special Forces, making outstanding accomplishments and working his way up without the help of his family. He went deep behind enemy lines, disregarding his own life, and achieved victory. Protecting his country was his dream. He wasn’t forced, and it was truly his passion.

But because of me, he had almost been labeled a spy who betrayed his country.

Because of me, he had almost died on a deserted island.

Because of me, he had left the military.

How could I ever bear to put him in danger again?

Wu Nian wiped her tears away and turned on her side. She had completely lost her appetite. She curled into a ball.

Perhaps he’d feel sad and tormented for a while, but after he overcomes this period of time and all those feelings have disappeared, he would finally be free.

After lying on the bed for half an hour, Wu Nian heard a knock on the door.

She got up from the bed and opened the door only to see that it was a hotel staff.

“Ma’am, this is the steak you ordered,” the staff said respectfully.

Wu Nian was perplexed. “I didn’t order this. You’ve come to the wrong room.”

“This is the right room. A gentleman with the surname Gu placed the order. He didn’t want you to go hungry,” the staff explained patiently.

Realization dawned on Wu Nian. Gu Mingchen was the one who ordered this.

But how did he know I didn’t order room service?

“I see. Thank you.” Wu Nian nodded.

The staff pushed in the cart and took off the lid to reveal a piece of juicy steak, some salad, Foie Gras, and a glass of red wine.

Wu Nian cut into her steak while studying the proposal Gu Mingchen had prepared.

She searched through Baidu whenever she came across something she didn’t understand and made sure to memorize the key points, paying special attention to the points that were crucial in convincing Mo Xue to collaborate.

She had just finished eating when her phone rang.

Seeing that it was from Stephen, she swiftly picked it up.

“Where are you? Mo Xue just called me over,” Stephen stated.

“I’m at the hotel. I’ll meet you in the lobby.” Wu Nian kept the proposal in her bag, tidied up her hair, and applied simple makeup onto her face, which included foundation cream, eyeliner, mascara, lip balm, and lipstick. Deeming herself presentable, she went downstairs in a flurry.

Stephen was already waiting there. Dressed casually, he was accompanied by his butler who helped carry his painting tools.

“Sorry that I’m late,” Wu Nian apologized.

“It’s fine. We just arrived anyway.” Stephen gave her a once-over before remarking, “You looked really beautiful yesterday. No men would’ve been able to resist your charm.”

Wu Nian wasn’t sure what to make of this.

In order words, he’s saying that I’m not beautiful today.

When Stephen mentioned yesterday, her mind was immediately transported back to the rooftop. Recalling about what happened there, her face turned crimson red and she quickly lowered her head to conceal it.

Just then, a Rolls-Royce pulled over in front of the hotel’s entrance.

Stephen’s butler opened the car door courteously for them.
