You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 447 Reminiscence

As there was still leftover of the fried chicken wings, Gu Mingchen only prepared tomato soup and omelets.

Even though the food was simple, every dish tasted exceptionally delicious to Bai Rong.

After dinner, both of them planned to watch television in the living room.

There were basically only soap operas at this hour, and Gu Mingchen was not keen on that. Sensing that, Bai Rong asked, “What do you feel like watching? I've downloaded quite a few types of movies."

Gu Mingchen shook his head and pulled her into his arms. “Just choose any movie you like. No issue for me.”

Bai Rong turned to face him again. After thinking of a while, she finally said, “Mingchen, there's another thing that I haven't told you.”

“What's that?”

“You know that my mom's an orphan, right? Her biological father came to look for her. We both did a DNA test this morning. It's confirmed that I'm his grand daughter.”

“Do you mean Mr. Tang?”

Bai Rong pursed her lips and smiled, “Looks like you've been paying attention to me all this while!” "Yeah, I never shifted my gaze away from you,” Gu Mingchen admitted sportingly.

Bai Rong's smile widened as she wrapped her arms around his neck lovingly.

Recalling how harshly he had criticized her previously, she was really upset. I actually don’t have to feel sad with that!

He didn't mean it! He's actually protective of me and was being harsh intentionally at that time trying to stop me from taking the risk!

“Mr. Tang is a kind-heartened person who is patriotic as well. Whenever A City was struck by earthquakes and floods, he donated generously. He even holds the position as the chairman of the patriots association overseas. Did both of your meet each other after the DNA result was produced?”

Bai Rong nodded and explained further, “I was really looking forward to it previously, thinking that the gap between us would be smaller if I'm really connected to him. Later, I happened to find out that there is a little girl by his side who really resembled me when I was young. Worrying that Su Xuyan would smell a rat and discover about my exact identity, I've explained to him to keep mum about our relationship.

"As my grandpa was feeling guilty for what he had done to my grandma, he insisted on compensating me by giving me a sum of money. I accepted it without saying anything, after considering that this will make him feel better.”

Gu Mingchen stroked her hair and said apologetically, “I'm sorry. I should have accompanied you.” “Never mind. You don't have to say sorry to me. I know that you didn't mean it.”

“I really don't know what to say. Silly girl, after how I rebuked you previously, you still choose to stand by my side and are still willing to sacrifice for me.”

“My guts told me that your anger won't last long, and you will surely come back again to look for me.” She smiled. My instinct is right!

Honk! When the horn of the yacht blared abruptly, Bai Rong rose at once.

"What's wrong?” Gu Mingchen asked in puzzlement.

“We're just about two kilometers away from the island. Let me take a look at the wheelhouse. Since it's a bit late now, how about we just overnight on the yacht?” Bai Rong suggested.

Gu Mingchen nodded and said, “I agree with you. The beach is a bit damp. The blankets in the room over there need to be dried up under the sun first before we can sleep there. Just let it be today. I foresee that we will be really busy tomorrow.”

“Wait a minute! Did you bring along a gun with you? I'm worried that we'd bump into a bear or a wolf.” Bai Rong asked worriedly.

“Yeah, I have. Let me accompany you to the wheelhouse,” Gu Mingchen held her hands

Bai Rong turned on the spotlight on the top. In a split second, both the sandy beach and his house on the island came into view.

Bai Rong skillfully navigated the yacht and adjusted the speed to let it come to a halt at a spot which was about fifty metres from the island. Next, she lowered the anchor to hold the yacht. "Here we are, welcome back to our home!” she said jokingly.

Gu Mingchen also laughed as he glanced at his watch. As it was only fifteen minutes after eight, it was still quite early for bedtime.

“I've bought some meat too. How about we have a barbecue at the bow of the yacht?” Bai Rong suggested.

“Can we? Your yacht is really multi-function.” Gu Mingchen was rather surprised.

“All these kitchenware, induction cooker, and barbecue grill were gifts with purchase when we bought this yacht. I kept some firewood in the storeroom as well. When we are onshore tomorrow, we can collect some more firewood and stock it up in the storeroom again. With that, we can even travel around the world in our yacht!” Bai Rong was happy with the picture she painted.

“It sounds great! Let's go and get the firewood.” Holding her hand all the time, they moved into the storeroom.

He took out the barbecue grill, while Bai Rong took out the firewood and some paper.

When Gu Mingchen was trying to lit up the fire, Bai Rong cut the pork meat into thin slices and put them on the plate. After peeling and cutting the potatoes into thin slices, she placed them on another plate.

After a while, Gu Mingchen managed to lit up the fire. When he walked back to the kitchen, Bai Rong was cutting capsicum. She asked eagerly, “Mingchen, is our fishnet still around?”

“Yes, it's in the room. We can catch some fish and crabs with it tomorrow.”

“The seafood that we catch by ourselves will definitely taste better. I went to a seafood buffet previously when I have craving for a sumptuous seafood feast. However, it was really disappointing as it could not be compared to the warm atmosphere on the island.” Bai Rong cut some vegetables again and placed them on the tray together with cooking oil, cumin powder, chili pepper, and salt. Gu Mingchen helped to carry the whole tray to the bow of the yacht.

Meanwhile, Bai Rong brought along two bottles of beer, two bowls and a brush, then placed all the items on the floor.

She looked adorable with her rosy cheeks, as a result of the reflection caused by the flickering fire from the barbecue grill.

Gu Mingchen was quite good at barbecuing. Within a short span of time, there were already quite a lot of barbecued pork slices.

Bai Rong took one slice and put it into her mouth. In an instant, her mouth was smeared with oil. She licked her mouth and complimented, “It's really delicious!”

"Just eat more since you like it so much,” Gu Mingchen said lovingly.

Taking a sip of the beer, Bai Rong placed some potatoes, capsicums and tomatoes on the paper, then brushed them with a layer of oil.

By placing paper on the barbecue grill, it would cut down the smoke. Besides, the food would not be easily burnt as well.

"You stay at home tomorrow to dry the blankets, settle some household chores and clean up the house. I will go out to hunt for animals. You can stay in the yard, but remember not to open the door. Besides, I have bought a GPS. If you want to make a call, there is signal within two hundred metres away from the house. There is also computer in my room, so you can watch online movies or play online games if you're bored while waiting for me to be back.”

"How long will you take? I'll be worried about you. Why don't we settle the household chores together and go hunting together?”

Placing a few slices of barbecued pork belly inside Bai Rong's bowl, he explained, “Hunting is a skill I need to be highly attentive all the time, avoid making any noise, and shoot at once at the very moment. If you go with me, I'll definitely be distracted. Apart from that, hunting really depends a lot on luck. It's rather common for hunters to go out hunting with their partners and they can stay in the forest for up till a few days.”

“It tends to get darker in the forest earlier. Bear in mind to come back by three o'clock in the afternoon, even if you haven't hunted anything. I have enough stock of rice and other groceries here which are more than enough for us these few days.”

Gu Mingchen could only nod and reply, “Alright.”

He put more barbecued pork belly in Bai Rong’s plate.

She pouted her lips and placed some of the pork belly back to his plate. “You take some too. I'm the one munching all the time!”

“Take some more so you'll have strength later.”

"Huh?" Bai Rong was stunned.

Gu Mingchen’s lips lifted as he leaned closer to her and kissed passionately on her lustrous lips...
