You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 321

Chapter 321 She Is Invincible

“Someone broke my heart. I wanted to leave my past, the people I know, and the place that would evoke memories and sadness. I deleted all my social media accounts and even changed my number. I met a kind stranger during that time. The stranger is from A City, which is why I’m here now,” Wu Nian said bitterly.

“Where are you staying now? I saw a hotel address from your resume,” Gu Mingchen asked.

“Yes. That’s why your job offer is so attractive to me since accommodation and meals are provided,” she joked.

He said nothing and continued driving.

“I’m no longer in pain. We don’t have to go to the hospital anymore. It was just a slight knock, nothing serious. You can stop in front and drop me by the side of the road. I can return by myself.”

“Ms. Wu, since you are no longer in pain, can you cook dinner for me? I’m sick of dining in at restaurants.” Gu Yan asked while pouting cutely.

Her heart melted. She glanced at Gu Mingchen, but he still did not say a word.

“Of course I can. What does Yanny feel like eating? I will cook it for you,” she replied and rubbed Gu Yan’s head.

“I want to eat Cola wings, big prawns, and…” He licked his lips. “Dumplings, big dumplings!”

She smiled slightly and asked Gu Mingchen, “Do you any ingredients in your refrigerator?”

“No. There’s nothing except for alcohol,” Gu Yan complained.

“Stop the car at the front. There’s a supermarket there, and I’ll buy some groceries. Give me around ten minutes,” she said.

“Ms. Wu is not from A City, but it seems like you are very familiar here.” Gu Mingchen said as if implying something.

“I like to wander around and observe my surroundings, so I remember there’s a supermarket here. You can pull over now. Please wait for me.”

Gu Mingchen did as told and handed his wallet to Wu Nian, which startled her.

“Take my wallet. Return it later when you are done.”

“You’re not afraid I’ll take more than required?”

“You’re someone who earns a hundred thousand a month. I’m sure you’re not interested in a few thousand,” he replied.

His words amused her.

Salary of a hundred thousand?

That was indeed a temptation. Even if she wanted to be a thief, she wouldn’t steal his money.

She took his wallet and got off the car.

Gu Mingchen winded down the window, lit a cigarette, and looked at Wu Nian’s back.

Wu Nian returned ten minutes later with the groceries. She opened the car door and sat beside Gu Yan at the back.

“Nian, what did you buy?” the little boy asked eagerly.

“What did you call her again?” Gu Mingchen warned him.

Gu Yan stuck his tongue out and immediately changed his words. “Ms. Wu,” he corrected.

“I bought Coca-Cola, chicken wings, prawns, pork, preserved vegetables, eggs, salted duck eggs, tomatoes, vegetables, mushrooms, carrots, rice, and some seasoning.”

“That’s a lot! There are only three of us today. How can we finish?” Gu Yan was ecstatic, but he was afraid of wasting the food.

“Tonight’s dinner will only be Cola wings, big prawns, braised pork, and omelet. The other ingredients are for the dumplings. I will make the dumplings and leave them in the freezer. You can steam them anytime when you feel like eating. It can be your breakfast tomorrow,” she explained.

Gu Mingchen glanced at her. “You know how to cook braised pork?”

“Yes. If we can’t finish this dish, we can also keep it for tomorrow,” she said with a smile.

He sped up and drove straight back to the apartment.

After coming out of the elevator, Wu Nian saw Zhou Hailan and Gu Ruoxin standing outside the door.

Zhou Hailan took a glance at Wu Nian and smiled at Gu Mingchen. “Xin came back running to me again. I’m afraid you are worried, so I brought him back. Is this the nanny that Xin mentioned?”

“She is a tutor. Xin and Yanny are both going to school, so I hired her to take care of them. Xin, you better apologize to Ms. Wu now. You shouldn’t have pushed her just now,” Gu Mingchen said sternly.

“I didn’t. She was the one who pulled me and did not let me go!” Gu Ruoxin yelled, feeling aggrieved.

“She did not let you go because she was worried something would happen to you. It is wrong of you to push her. Also, you did not ask for permission before running out and let your parents worried about

you. That is also wrong of you. Apologize, now,” Gu Mingchen commanded.

“Xin, stop making your daddy angry. Apologize now. I will not let you run back next time. Mommy is fine, so you don’t have to be worried about me,” Zhou Hailan said immediately.

The boy pursed his lips tightly, with tears in his eyes. “Mommy, I want to go back with you. Daddy no longer cares about me after he found Gu Yan. I want to follow you,” Gu Ruoxin cried. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Stop your nonsense. How can your daddy not love you? I will be angry if you keep saying such things. Do you understand?”

Gu Ruoxin lowered his head but said nothing.

“Mr. Gu, I will go in and prepare the dinner first.” Wu Nian attempted to change the subject.

Gu Mingchen nodded and opened the door for her.

His apartment was not massive, but there were three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and one kitchen. It was very tidy. The overall interior was very similar to him, masculine, clean, and well- thought.

“Where’s the kitchen?” Wu Nian asked.

“I’ll take you there. Since I don’t have to cook, I’ll help you with the preparations.” Zhou Hailan volunteered and entered the apartment.

Gu Mingchen grabbed her arms and stopped her. “You have diabetes, so you better rest more. You can stay for dinner since you’ve not eaten. I’ll get someone to send you back after that.”

“It’s fine. I will stop once I’m feeling tired. I know my limits.” She smiled as she walked into the kitchen.

“Ms. Wu, what shall I help with?” she asked Wu Nian politely.

“Can you help to wash the vegetables?”

“Oh, there’s preserved vegetables? I know Mingchen loves braised pork with preserved vegetables. Let me make this dish.” Zhou Hailan took over the pork and washed it instead.

Wu Nian kept silent and started preparing the Cola wings. She washed the chicken wings and marked all of them in the middle. Then she started sauteing the ginger and spring onions in a pot before placing in the chicken wings and deep-frying them into golden brown. After which, she poured in the soy sauce and took a glance at Zhou Hailan. Wu Nian continued adding a little cooking wine and white wine, half a can of Coca-Cola, and skipped out the sugar.

While waiting for the wings to finish cooking, she started cleaning the prawns and removing the veins from their back.

After the prawns were ready, she finished up with the chicken wings. Zhou Hailan was preparing the braised pork and cutting it into smaller pieces to steam it.

“Mingchen loves it when I make this dish. But my body is not well, and he doesn’t wish for me to be tired. I will give the recipe to you next time,” the latter said with a smile.
