You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 415 No Secrets Between Us

Bai Rong finally understood what he meant. “We’ll take one step at a time, then. We’ll be cautious, and we’ll wait for the enemy to reveal the flaws in their plan.”

Pressing a kiss on her forehead, Gu Mingchen mumbled, “So we’ll go with the flow about the baby matter. After all, we already have Yanny.”

Bai Rong nodded. “I’ll cook first.”

She then headed in the direction of the kitchen.

Trailing behind her, Gu Mingchen offered, “I’ll help you.”

A smile grew on her lips as she washed the vegetables and murmured, “I miss our time on the empty island most. We wake when the sun rises, and we rest when the sun sets. There’s a surprise every day, and I don’t worry about anything when I’m there. It was like paradise.”

“Once Yanny grows up, I’ll give the company to him. Then, we’ll move to the island and live there. I’ve bought the island, so it’s now mine. I’ve consulted a researcher about it. According to them, the island won’t sink within the next hundred years. Now, I’m looking for someone to make a conservation line.”

“What’s that?”

“We’ll be splitting the island into two. One side will be the conservation of nature. The creatures will be barred from entering the other side. That way, we’ll be able to live safely on one side.”

“Snakes, worms, rats, and insects can dig their way over, can’t they?” Bai Rong chuckled.

“We’ll make sure that doesn’t happen too. However, we’re not in a haste. I’m guessing two years will pass by the time everything is done. Once it’s completed, we can take occasional trips there. If you’re worried, we’ll live in your yacht first. I’ve also installed a few telecommunication towers there. That’ll be how we’ll contact the outside world. We won’t be living completely off the grid,” Gu Mingchen explained.

“That sounds great. You remind me of a poet who wrote a story about a paradise. In his work, he talks about how he entered a cave and emerged out from the other end to see a paradise. The people there are farmers who live simple lives far from the war. Regardless of the identities of their guests, they welcome them with open arms.”

“You still remember that?” Gu Mingchen wondered out loud. He remembered studying about the poet’s work back in elementary school, but by now, it was mostly gone from his mind.

“I like elegant poems. There are several others that I like too, like Su Shi,” Bai Rong added.

“Su Shi? The Melody of Water?”
