You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 446 You Should Take A Break

She was always against violence and brutality.

Gu Mingchen nodded and said firmly, “Of course. To me, nothing is more important than you and Yanny.”

"How about your parents? You're their only child!” Bai Rong asked concernedly.

“I'll bring them along, be filial to them so they can lead a happy old age,” Gu Mingchen replied again.

Bai Rong nodded in relief and said, “That's great! Let me prepare our lunch first. I'm a bit hungry now.”

“Just take a break since your finger is hurt. Let me prepare the meal,” Gu Mingchen said gently. “Come on. It's just a minor injury.”

"Just take a break even if it's just a minor injury.” He turned on the gas and poured a little oil into the pan.

Bai Rong stood next to him and asked curiously, “What are you supposed to do with the Shadow Samurais? I have witnessed how they risked their lives for you without a second thought. They are apparently ready to sacrifice for you at any time.”

Gu Mingchen put the spinach into the pan and started to stir fry it. Fsshhh! Once the water from the spinach was in contact with the oil in the pan, it produced a loud noise.

After stir-frying for a while, the loud noise subsided. Only then, Gu Mingchen explained again, “I'll make arrangements for them. All of them are really capable, and Leng Xiao will take good care of them as well.”

“Leng Xiao?" Bai Rong enunciated the name and commented, “He really hopes that you can become commander-in-chief, doesn't he?"

“No matter how successful our achievement is, everything turns into ashes the moment we breathe our last breath. Even if we have the honor to have our names recorded in the wall of fame, the authority might twist the fact to cater to their needs. Anyway, it makes no difference to me. I just want to spend the rest of my lifetime happily with my beloved family members,” Gu Mingchen said again.

Bai Rong embraced him from the back and nodded. “We really share the same thought. How nice if we get to know each other earlier.”

"Don’t be upset with it. To me, it's just the right timing. Go and take some rest, or play with Bai for a while. You'll get tired if you keep standing here,” Gu Mingchen urged her to go for a rest.

“Let's sail to the deserted island for a short vacation. We can catch crabs, fish and wild boar there. If you're fine with that, I'm going to the wheelhouse to navigate the yacht.” Bai Rong really looked forward to it.

Gu Mingchen’s mouth lifted into a smile as he said, “Alright.”

She darted to the wheelhouse excitedly and navigated the yacht toward the deserted island. After a while, the yacht left the dock and started to head for their destination.

While Gu Mingchen was preparing for their lunch in the kitchen, Bai Rong was lying idly on the sofa, watching television with the puppy in her arms. She turned off the television the moment her nose caught the tempting smell of the dishes, and headed toward the kitchen with her puppy.

"You've really bought many types of ingredients,” Gu Mingchen chuckled.

Bai Rong craned her neck to see what Gu Mingchen had prepared.

She was already drooling the moment she saw the fish soup, stir-fried spinach, and fried chicken wings.

With a cheerful smile, she said, “Three dishes are more than enough for both of us.”

Gu Mingchen tapped her nose with indulgence and said, “You must be really hungry now. Let's eat!” Woof! Woof! Woof! The puppy was apparently eyeing the fried chicken wings.

Bai Rong took one of the fried chicken wings for it.

Wagging its tail, the puppy kept sticking out its tongue.

She put it down to let it savor the chicken wing.

“Remember to wash your hands first,” Gu Mingchen reminded her.

“Alright.” Bai Rong really loved the way he nagged at her.

She was feeling exceptionally contented at that moment. As long as she could be with him without any quarrels, every single moment was wonderful for her. In other words, wealth was meaningless for her if he was not by her side.

After their meal, Gu Mingchen continued to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

Bai Rong put the puppy back to the kennel. It was about bedtime for the puppy.

Gu Mingchen finished washing the dishes in a short while.

Bai Rong pointed to a spot at the top and explained to him, “That's a specially built room, mainly for viewing scenery. We can lie there to catch the perfect view and enjoy the warm breeze. It's very convenient. We just need pillows and blankets.”

“I'll go and get the blanket,” Gu Mingchen said spontaneously.

“I'll get the pillows,” Bai Rong said smilingly.

Later, they entered the room together. She was carrying two pillows, and Gu Mingchen was holding the blankets. After placing the pillows on the floor, she lay down straight away.

The yacht was swaying in the warm breeze. A breathtaking view was formed by the blue sky, bright sun and white fluffy clouds.

Gu Mingchen lay down beside her, and covered both of them with the blankets. He also looked up and gazed at the sky, enjoying the serenity at the moment.

After a while, Bai Rong turned to look at him.

Taking Aaron as an example, she was being tactful and avoided asking provocative questions. She asked casually, “Which country is Yanny in currently?”

Gu Mingchen looked at her and replied, “He's in Ferropene and doing fine over there. Don't worry about him. Kids are innocent and have great adaptability. After I settle the matters here, we'll go and visit them.”

With a bright smile, Bai Rong said, “Just let Yanny's adopted parents stay by his side. I'm sure they really treat Yanny well and shower him with loads of love. That's why Yanny is so attached to them. Who knows we'll have other kids soon and need their help too. If they can continue to stay and look after Yanny, they'll be able to give us a hand, too.”

Looking at her gently, he said softly, “I have the same thought as well.”

"How about Xin?" Bai Rong paused before she added, “You decide then. I'll respect your decision.” “I'll analyze the current situation with him so he can think properly and make a wise decision. If he chooses to be with Zhou Hailan, I sincerely hope that she will treat him well. Even so, he can still look for me whenever he needs any help. On the other hand, if he chooses to follow me, I believe that you'll treat him well, too.”

Bai Rong smiled again. “I'll surely take good care of him and discuss with you about my method when dealing with him. After all, I've professional knowledge about child psychology.”

Gu Mingchen was touched and instinctively wrapped her in his arms. “I didn't sleep well for a few nights. You accompany me to have a nap.”

She replied languorously, “Let's go back to the bedroom for a nap. I don't want to catch a cold again. After sleeping at the bow of the yacht previously, I had a cold and fever on the following day.”

“Alright,” he gladly agreed.

They both carried the blankets and pillows back to the bedroom. Before that, Bai Rong went to the wheelhouse to double check on the navigation again.

It was estimated that they would only reach the island at around eight at night. There was still plenty of time before that. When she was back in her bedroom, Gu Mingchen was already sleeping soundly.

She knew that his emotion was closely related to hers. If she was feeling down, he would not be able to cheer up as well.

Gu Mingchen'’s burden was always a lot heavier than hers.

Lying next to him with her hand rested on his waist, she also closed her eyes. A while later, she dozed off as well.

When she opened her eyes again after a long, deep sleep, the night had fallen. Clicking on her phone, she looked at her side with the faint light. To her surprise, there was no sign of Gu Mingchen. He was the one who was sleepy earlier on, yet he still managed to wake up earlier than her. Even if he did not say anything, she knew that he was really stressful and troubled by a lot of matters.

She put on a thick jacket, then took out a blanket and yelled, “Mingchen.”

“I'm here,” Gu Mingchen answered as he emerged from the back of the yacht.

The moment Bai Rong saw him, her lips lifted up into a smile. Handling the blanket to him, she told him, “It's quite chilly at night. You'd better cover yourself with a blanket. I forgot to prepare some of your items on this yacht. Anyway, there won't be any issue. Your clothes would be dry again overnight.”

Gu Mingchen took the blanket and wrapped it around Bai Rong instead. “I'm not cold. Even during winter, I don't really put on extra pieces of clothes as well. Besides, I've brought along some clothes as well.”

"Ah! You've brought them along?” Bai Rong looked at him with delight. So it means to say that he actually plans to stay here with me this round? If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have started guessing till 1 cut my finger accidentally!

“Yeah, I brought two sets with me. Give me ten more minutes. Dinner will be ready by then.” Holding her hand, he led her into the kitchen.
