You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 387 I Will Take Responsibility

Wu Nian's eyes widened in shock.

She never expected Gu Mingchen to do this. She pushed at his hand in panic.

But the more she resisted, the rougher he became.

Since she couldn't overpower him, she turned her face away, trying to free her lips from his. She thought that by doing so, she would at least be able to talk some sense into him because at that moment, he looked like he had lost all sense of reason.

Despite her efforts, however, he didn't allow her to break free. Holding the back of her head with his free hand as he continued ravaging her lips, his breath came in fast, short pants. The strength of his other hand increased.

Her face heated up with embarrassment when she felt her body reacting to his relentless teasing When God created women, He must have forgotten to create a lock for their most treasured area. I can't believe I had no control over my body's treacherous reaction.

After five minutes of kissing Wu Nian, Gu Mingchen did not look like he was going to stop any time soon. Instead, he deepened the kiss, as though pouring all the pain, worry, and resentment he felt during these two years into this very kiss.

Wu Nian struggled until the last shred of energy left her. Taking advantage of this, he ripped off her underwear.

Before she knew it, he lifted her hips and entered her in one fell swoop.

Wu Nian let out a muffled gasp, to which Gu Mingchen finally released her lips.

She looked at him with red-rimmed eyes and tightly pursed lips.

It took all of Gu Mingchen’s willpower to keep still as he solemnly stated, “Since I took you by force, I'll take responsibility.”

Wu Nian punched him on the shoulder.

She was no longer an eighteen-year-old girl. On one hand, it was useless crying over spilled milk. On the other, it was unrealistic to ask him to take it out.

Besides, unless there was a compelling reason, men would be unwilling to pull out until they got their release.

Gu Mingchen held her hand in his.

Since she doesn’t want to admit that she’s Bai Rong, I won't force her to.

I'll just treat her as Wu Nian and pursue her all over again.

With that thought in mind, he brushed a feathery kiss on her hand.

Wu Nian instinctively withdrew her hand and when he targeted her lips again, she quickly turned her face away.

Even so, he had already invaded her body in the most intimate way possible.

Wu Nian swatted his wandering hand away.

Clearly, they had already reached a point of no return. Yet, she found herself trying to do something just to make herself feel better.

Gu Mingchen grabbed her restless hands and pressed them down by her sides. He murmured in a hoarse and sensuous voice, “You're very responsive.”

Wu Nian justified, “It's just my body's defensive mechanism going against your invasion.” Then, she gulped and said in a small voice, “You're too big. You're going to hurt me like this.”

The corners of Gu Mingchen’s mouth curved into a smile. “I'll be gentle. Just stop pushing me away.”

Wu Nian's heart fluttered in her chest, his words offering her a strong sense of familiarity. “I can sue you, you know.”

Gu Mingchen kissed her lips and calmly replied, “Mm.”

Wu Nian narrowed her eyes at him. He was neither afraid nor angry, as though already determined to have his way with her.

Indeed, she wasn't going to sue him. For starters, he was Yanny's father and Yanny needed him. Secondly, she regarded his reputation as even more important than her own life. Hence, she wouldn't be able to bring herself to do something that could harm him. Be that as it may, she still felt greatly aggrieved to be forced into such a situation.

Another smile graced Gu Mingchen's lips. He hadn't even gotten his release yet, but his body and soul already felt satisfied. The clouds that were hanging over him seemed to have vanished along with the negative air that often enveloped him, and he became incredibly gentle. Reaching behind her back, he slowly pulled her zipper down.

“Don’t. I'm cold,” Wu Nian stopped him.

“Hug me tight, then. I'm burning up,” Gu Mingchen whispered deeply.

Wu Nian was tongue-tied.

Afraid that she might really feel cold, he decided not to take off her dress. He simply pulled down the top of her dress, revealing the silicone gel bra covering her bosom!

Wu Nian blushed furiously. “Don’t take them off.”

“Mm.” He wasn't planning to anyway, as female apparel remained a mystery to him.

He kissed a path from her neck down to her collarbones as he slowly pulled out of her.

Well aware of what was coming next, Wu Nian grabbed his arms.

“Not that. I haven't showered.”

Gu Mingchen chuckled deeply.

And she says she’s not Bai Rong. She knew his habits, so the moment he pulled out, she already knew what he was about to do.

“I'm coming back in, then,” Gu Mingchen warned in a gruff voice.

Wu Nian avoided his gaze, not knowing how else to respond.

He grasped her chin and turned her face back, confessing, “Wu Nian, I like you. What I said before is the absolute truth.”

Wu Nian'’s heart raced. She could feel him slowly but surely breaking through her defenses with his patience.

Right then, she realized why she only felt burdened by Aaron's kindness and affection.

It was because her heart still belonged to Gu Mingchen. Deep down, she knew that she couldn't bring herself to accept Aaron. Hence, she felt guilty and sorry toward him.

However, she was a hex and would only bring Gu Mingchen trouble by staying. She did not want history to repeat itself.

All she wished was to watch him from afar.

After they were both sated and spent, Gu Mingchen continued hugging her tightly, as though afraid she might disappear at any second.

Wu Nian’s brows knitted together.

Now that we've slept together, I doubt I can be a simple home tutor at his house now.

But I can't just turn down the opportunity to spend time with Yanny. If I do, I might never get another chance. Things are going to get complicated from now on.

Perhaps it was the sex that was fogging up her mind, or perhaps her mind was merely shutting down due to the time. All things considered, she felt frustrated. Thus, she closed her eyes for a few minutes to calm herself.

"Are we considered... friends with benefits?” Wu Nian queried.

Glancing at her, Gu Mingchen covered their bodies with their own clothes and answered resolutely, “To me, you're my girlfriend.”

“I don't want that,” Wu Nian emphasized.

Gu Mingchen gazed at her intently. “Then, how do you propose I make it up to you?”

"You can't let anyone else know about us. Otherwise, I'll move out of your house at once and terminate our contract as well. And...” Wu Nian trailed off, pressing her lips together.

And you can't stop me from seeing Yanny.

However, she was afraid that making such a specific request might arouse Gu Mingchen's suspicions.

"And what?” Gu Mingchen probed gently.

“You have to agree to my three requests unconditionally.” Wu Nian changed her statement.

A smile appeared on Gu Mingchen’s face. “Sure. I'll agree to anything you want.”

Wu Nian bowed her head.

She could hardly believe that she had gotten involved with Gu Mingchen again. Everything seemed like a dream—surreal and completely beyond her imagination and control.

Indeed, changes ran faster than plans.

“Break things off with Aaron,” Gu Mingchen urged.

Wu Nian nodded without putting up a fight. I've already slept with Gu Mingchen. It won't be fair to Aaron if I keep stringing him along.

It's time I sit down and renegotiate things with him.

As if reading her mind, Gu Mingchen reassured her, “You don't need to worry about Liu Yan. I can keep her safer than Aaron can.”

Wu Nian looked at him with astonishment. “How did you know?"

“Liu Yan isn't an entrepreneur, so the fact that she’s involved in the collaboration this time indicates that she made an agreement with Shen Yiyan. She wants to leave him more than anything. That's why she decided to take matters into her own hands. I can see how determined she is, seeing as she even visited Stephen's island.”

Wu Nian lowered her gaze.

I believe in Gu Mingchen. With his intervention, Liu Yan would be able to escape and go somewhere no one will ever disturb her. But this would undoubtedly start a feud between him and Shen Yiyan. He's different from Aaron.

Aaron is a nobleman from Ustrana. Even if Shen Yiyan finds out that it was his doing, he'd refrain from laying a finger on Aaron for the greater good.

But it's not the same for Gu Mingchen.

He's a citizen of A City. His company, family, and friends are all in A City as well.

As A City's commander-in-chief, there are too many ways for Shen Yiyan to deal with Gu Mingchen.
