You Owe Me, My Love

You Owe Me, My Love Chapter 399

Chapter 399 Safe And Sound

After Wu Nian paid her respects to her mother, she called Liu Yan.

“Nian, I have some good news! Shen Yiyan has already signed the contract for the collaboration with Mo Xue and he’s agreed that I can travel for a month with Bao. Hahaha! Life’s looking great for me,” exclaimed Liu Yan happily the moment she picked up the call.

“That’s great, I’m happy for you too! You can finally live a carefree and exciting life, for no one but yourself. Although it’ll be mundane, you’ll be far away from dangers. I believe that you’ll be happy. After all, this has always been your dream,” replied Wu Nian with a smile.

“Yeah, I must leave Shen Yiyan first. He has a wife and is even the commander-in-chief. Once I’m exposed, I’ll be condemned as a sinner. Perhaps, I’ll be written into history as a seductress who led to the demise of a nation. That’ll be really unlucky! My reputation will be tarnished for years. Hahaha!”

“When do you plan to leave?” asked Wu Nian.

“I still have one thing to settle. I’m not worried about you for now because Aaron will protect you. Instead, I’m slightly worried about my parents. I have to get them to retire first. I’ve also asked a friend to help them change their identities. I wonder if they’ll agree,” revealed Liu Yan worriedly.

“Be honest with them and tell them the situation you’re in now. You’re their only child. Although you might have drifted apart from them, your parents don’t have any other children. They’ll still treat you as their only daughter.”

“Our relationship deteriorated greatly back then. Nian, can you help me approach them and see what’s their stance?” Liu Yan asked her for a favor.

“Sure, I’ll ask them out tonight.”

“Tonight?” Liu Yan scratched her head. “Should we meet up first and discuss how you’re going to tell them?”

“There’s no need for that. I know what your thoughts are. After I’m done talking to your parents, I’ll contact you at night.” With that, Wu Nian hung up the call.

She then called Liu Yan’s father.

“Yes? Who is this?” His weary voice sounded, making his old age clear.

Hearing that, Wu Nian felt her heart ache. Even this old director’s not spared by the ruthless effects of time.

“Hello, I’m Liu Yan’s friend. I have something that I’d like to discuss with you. Are you free tonight?” asked Wu Nian politely.

“I have no such daughter.” Liu Yan’s father hung up immediately.

Sighing, Wu Nian called Liu Yan’s mother instead.

“Hello?”

“Hi, I’m Liu Yan’s friend. I’d like to talk to you and your husband. Would you be free tonight? It’s about something important,” she said gently.

“Yan’s friend?” Her mother sounded hesitant.

“Yes. She had her own reasons why she left. Back then, she was forced to give birth to her child and only did that to protect everyone.”

“Is she doing well? As her mother, I will never hold a grudge against her forever. Even though she got pregnant before marriage, we’ll still stay in contact with her. How is it possible for us to never forgive

her? Why must we cut off all ties?” She choked up as she spoke.

“She just wants to protect you. Can we meet tonight? It’s better if we meet in a more private setting,” suggested Wu Nian.

“My husband is a stubborn man, so I need some time to convince him. Come to Jasmine Spa Parlour and enter any room. It’s run by my friend, so I can enter directly through the back door.”

“Okay, I’ll head there now. See you later!” After hanging up, Wu Nian took a cab to Jasmine Spa Parlour.

The streets of A City had changed drastically through the years, to the extent that she could barely recognize it anymore.

When she was younger, her dream was to build a house. She wanted to stay at her favorite place forever. However, she kept relocating now. The transient nature of her houses often reminded her of how fragile life was.

While her mind wandered, she arrived at Jasmine Spa Parlour and followed the staff into room 203. “I’d like a rose-scented bath, but not now because I’m waiting for someone. Is that alright?”

“Sure. Please take a rest first. If you need assistance, just press the service button on the table,” said the staff with a smile as she passed her a cup of tea.

“Thank you. Can you please leave the room for a while? It won’t be for long.”

“Oh, sure.” The staff shot Wu Nian a puzzled glance before leaving the room.

Wu Nian sent a text to Liu Yan’s mother: I’m in room 203.

She had just sat on the couch when Liu Yan’s mother entered through the back door and locked it. With an anxious look, she asked, “What happened to Yan? She’s not coming home and doesn’t even call us. Even during festivals or her father’s birthday, she still didn’t come back. Her father is so infuriated by her.”

“I’m sorry, but she has her own reasons for doing so. She got into trouble with someone formidable and was forced to enter a relationship with him. He even prohibited her from aborting her child, saying that if she did that, her loved ones would be in danger, especially her parents. Liu Yan was worried that she would drag both of you down, so she cut off all ties with you. She just doesn’t want to involve you two.”

After a slight pause, she continued, “Liu Yan has a chance to leave that man now. However, she would need to escape this country and live anonymously. She’s afraid that the man will seek trouble with both of you after she leaves.”

Liu Yan’s mother frowned as she blurted a series of questions. “Who did Yan offend? Although she’s very straightforward with her words, she’s not a bad person. I always remind her to be mindful of her words. What should we do now? Where is she going? Is she never coming back? What should my husband and I do? He misses her so badly that he fell sick.”

“I can’t reveal who she offended for now. However, he is a very powerful man. A single command by him can turn the entire A City upside down. You can barely imagine how much power he wields.” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Could the man that you’re talking about be… Shen Yiyan? The current commander-in-chief?” asked Liu Yan’s mother tentatively.

Wu Nian was stunned, not expecting her to be right on her first guess.

Liu Yan’s mother caught on to Wu Nian’s expression and knew that she was right.

“I knew it! Since young, he kept pestering Yan. I was still wondering how someone like him managed to become the commander-in-chief. Never have I expected him to treat Yan like this. I mean, he’s already married, for goodness sake! Yan hates mistresses and being restrained the most. Her life must be so horrible now.” Liu Yan’s mother wiped her tears, her eyes reddened.

“Well, luckily, she has an opportunity to escape now and she managed to find someone who can change your identities. Although you won’t be able to contact your past friends, you won’t be in any trouble. Will both of you be willing to do that?”

“Can’t we leave with her? We’ll follow her wherever she goes. We can always find new friends and jobs, but we only have one daughter. We can take care of her too!” Liu Yan’s mother pleaded sadly.

“That would be the best. I can arrange for that. What’s Mr. Liu’s opinion?”

“He actually cares more about Yan than me, but he just didn’t understand her actions. If he knows about this, he’ll definitely be willing,” assured Liu Yan’s mother confidently.

“If both of you are willing, just call me. I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”

Scrutinizing Wu Nian, Liu Yan’s mother replied, “Thank you.”

“I’m just doing what I should do.” Wu Nian revealed a smile.

Now that Liu Yan’s family was safe, she had no more regrets.
