You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 448 The Beginning Of A Happy Life

The fire and heat poured into him, searing through him. Her blood pounded in her veins, and the two entwined, kissing each other passionately. The romantic moonlight projected their swaying shadow on the wall. Everything was beautiful and peaceful.

It was quarter past seven the next morning. Bai Rong woke up and looked to the right. Gu Mingchen was also awake, propping his head and staring at her. She smiled affectionately and cuddled him, snuggling in his embrace for a while.

“The weather is getting cold. Don't forget to put on more clothes,” Gu Mingchen reminded.

"Okay! I'll get up and prepare breakfast. After having breakfast, I'll dry the quilt. Then, let's go to the beach and catch some crabs. After lunch, I'll take a nap and you go hunting. What do you think?" Bai Rong proposed.

“Great!” Gu Mingchen replied with a broad smile on his face.

He then went to clean himself up, and she made the bed. Bai Rong put on the sportswear and a vest on top so that she could move freely when they go crab catching later.

After freshening up, she went outside and basked in the mellow sunlight, closing her eyes. It was bright and warm. She took a deep breath, and the refreshing scent of forest and ocean filled the air, making the morning pleasant. When she opened her eyes, her attention was drawn to a tall figure on the upper deck.

Gu Mingchen was doing exercise there. Staring at his handsome face early in the morning was very pleasing to the eye indeed.

Bai Rong could not help but flash a beaming smile.

We will live happily ever after. She felt like she was living in a dream, and her heart was full of love and happiness

Bai Rong then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. She took out the century egg and yesterday's leftover pork belly from the fridge. After removing the fatty part, she cooked century egg congee with lean meat. She then used the fatty part to make lard.

While the fats were sizzling in the pan, the smell of the lard jogged her memory. Aww, the wild boar's lard smelt so good! Unfortunately, we can’t consume too much animal oil and fat, or our arteries will be clogged. Oh well, I'll exercise more to increase my metabolism after having it!

The congee was simmering slowly in the rice cooker. She set the timer on the rice cooker to half an hour before going outside.

Gu Mingchen was still exercising. She approached him and started doing yoga beside him.

They exchanged glances and smiled. Bai Rong was staring at the sea in the distance while doing stretching. “We have a treadmill in the living room. I'll get some dumbbells next time.”

"Okay!" Bai Rong then asked curiously, “We're going to Ferropene. Why did you choose to move there? I thought it would be Granatano or Smealand?”

“Do you still remember I invited you for a vacation in Ferropene last time?” Gu Mingchen asked. Of course, I remember! We called off the trip after having an argument. “Do you have a house over there?”

“Yeah, a little more than you can imagine! We're going to stay at Baykeep, which is close to the sea. When we want to go traveling, we can steer the boat by ourselves. We'll pass through several famous cities and stay in those cities for a month before we continue traveling,” Gu Mingchen said happily.

“Is it easy to handle those paper work?”

“It shouldn't be a problem! The Gu Group has its own dock at most of the places.”

The mention of that name caused a flicker of concern to darken her eyes. The Gu Group is his family business. If he sells the business, he will definitely be berated by others, including his parents. "Actually, it's not necessary to sell the Gu Group. Instead, we can move the headquarter to Baykeep since we won't come back to A City anymore. Meanwhile, those people will no longer be wary of you if you quit the election for the commander-in-chief.”

“I suppose so. Well, let's not talk about these. We'll deal with it later!” Gu Mingchen smiled and replied.

Then, they continued with their workouts. Bai Rong was in a good mood and started humming a cheerful tune.

Wow, that's pretty good! He asked, “What song is this?”

“My love!” Bai Rong smiled affectionately at him.

Gu Mingchen could not help but grin from ear to ear. He repeated her words, with affection gleamed in his eyes. “My love? That's great!”

Immediately, her heart pounded, and a wave of color flushed her cheeks. “The breakfast should be ready by now. I'll go down first.”

“Let's go together!” He held her hand and walked ahead of her.

Upon entering the kitchen, the congee was ready and steam was rising from the rice cooker. Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Bai Rong turned off the power and brought two bowls and a ladle over.

Gu Mingchen took the ladle from her and opened the lid.

The congee was sticky and still simmering. There were black century eggs and dark red meats in the white congee. It looked delicious!

He served the congee and put it on the table while she brought the chopsticks and sunny-side-up eggs over. Bai Rong reminded, “Be careful! It's hot! Wait for it to cool down first.”

Gu Mingchen nodded and opened the fridge. There were no other fresh ingredients apart from a whole chicken, some cucumbers, carrots, and a packet of tree mushrooms.

He then asked, “What are you going to cook later? Let me prepare the ingredients.”

His words warmed her heart. “We are going to have chicken soup for lunch. The whole chicken will be simmered in the casserole, so you don't need to cut it. Then, we'll have stir-fried carrot julienne and cucumber with egg. That's all. It shouldnt be too difficult to cut the cucumber and carrot.” "Alright, I'll julienne the carrot so that you can stir-fry it later.” Immediately, Gu Mingchen took the carrot out from the fridge and washed it.

“Then, I'll wash our clothes.” Bai Rong went to the bathroom and washed their undergarments. After that, she dried them on the upper deck.

Right then, the congee had cooled down. They added some hot congee into their bowls, and the temperature was just right.

After they finished their breakfast, Bai Rong sailed the yacht to the shore and lowered the ladder. Gu Mingchen got off the yacht, holding a bucket and two shovels. He then carried her when she was getting off the yacht.

Bai Rong grinned while pressing the remote control to retract the ladder.

When they walked on the shore, those crabs felt their movement and acted swiftly. Some burrowed into the sand and some rushed into the sea, hiding from predators.

Gu Mingchen put on a pair of white gloves for her, and they started going after the crabs.

Some crabs that failed to escape went into their bucket. They only took an hour to catch a full bucket of crabs.

“There are more crabs here than on Stephen's island,” Bai Rong remarked.

“Stephen has been living on that island for more than twenty years. Since he often goes to the shore, those crabs are not stupid and will naturally avoid that place as time passes by, whereas this place is deserted. While migratory shorebirds are their natural predators, but there aren't many shorebirds here, so we can see more crabs,” Gu Mingchen explained

“I'm going to miss this place after moving to Ferropene,” she sighed.

"We can come here once a year and stay for a period of time. I'll have time for my wife when I'm no longer involved in politics and the business of Gu Group is on track.” Gu Mingchen was holding her hand while walking toward the house. He closed the door after they entered the house.

“Are we going to cook here?” Bai Rong asked.

“There is a stove here, and the shed is full of firewood. I've also bought all the seasonings previously, so I'll get the ingredients from the yacht later,” Gu Mingchen replied while glancing down at the kitchen.

She made an OK gesture and went to dry the quilt. After he opened the bedroom door, he went to the second floor to turn on the electricity generator and signal transmitter. Then, he took out the induction cooker.

When Bai Rong was drying the quilt, the missed call notifications on her phone kept ringing. Ding! Ding! Ding!

She subconsciously took her phone out and looked at the notifications. There were five missed calls from Aaron, Shen Yiyan, Su Xuyan, Zhou Hailan, and another unknown caller.
