You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Sea and Spring Blossoms

“And we’d also have three rooms downstairs as well: a kitchen, a storage room for firewood, and a dining room. Then, I’d built a two-meter-high wall outside and dig a well, too. So, our kids can play in the yard every day and we can also bring them to the beach. We would be so carefree and happy living here,” Gu Mingchen said, sharing the life he was looking forward to with Bai Rong.

She listened to him attentively; his voice is soothing, just like a baritone.

A poem suddenly flashed through her mind: I have a house, facing the sea, where spring blossoms.

She moved the stone to his side and sat down beside him. Hugging his arm, she leaned her head on his shoulder and said, “We can’t deny that we all have our own responsibilities. You have your parents, your army, and your promises while I have my parents, my promises, and my dreams. But as long as we shall live, there is hope for us. I promise you: after we’re done with what we need to do, I’ll come here again with you if your wish still stands.”

Turning his head towards her, he gazed lovingly at Bai Rong and lifted the corners of his mouth. “I suddenly feel like thanking Lu Xingzhou. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have known how you would torture me.”

She cast her eyes down and landed her gaze on the vapor rising from the pot in front of them. Various complex emotions fleeted through her eyes.

I’d once resented the unjust of fate. But after I’ve found love, I realize that I should be grateful for what has happened. However, now that I think about his life after my demise, I start to hate the cruel fate again. But what’s the point of indignation? Life is about choices and the decisions we make.

Only when she felt the tears streaming down her face did she realize she teared up again.

“Why are you crying?” Gu Mingchen asked worriedly, turning her over so that she was facing him.

Bai Rong looked at him with her red-rimmed eyes. “I thought of our son. I believe he’s safe and sound. But we have no idea where he is right now. I really want to find him, but I’m not sure if my wish can come true.”

“I’ve thought him as well. If his disappearance was caused by someone, it would not be Su Xuyan, your father, and my parents. In my opinion, it’s most probably caused by someone I know. If we can go back safely this time, I promise you that I’ll find him within a year.”

“It seems like we still have a lot of things to do,” she sighed.

He pulled her into his embrace and said, “No matter what stands in front of us, we’ll face it together. I’m sure everything will be fine.”

Bai Rong didn’t say a word; she couldn’t bring herself to tell him the truth. So, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

When Gu Mingchen did not hear her response, he glanced towards her and found that she seemed to be asleep. Therefore, he proceeded to bring her to bed.

But before he could bring her into his arms, she had opened her eyes.

Smiling at her, he said, “Go to bed if you’re sleepy.”

“Okay.” She climbed up the bamboo ladder and lay down on the bed.

“It’s cold tonight. You should sleep first. I’ll add more firewood and come to you later.” Before he left, he placed his shirt on her to keep her warm.

Bai Rong did not sleep as she waited for him. After he came up to the bed, she put his shirt back on him and hug him, nestling against his body.

She was not a clingy person, but he liked her to be clingy and taking the lead in their relationship so that he would feel loved and needed.

Gu Mingchen planted a kiss on her forehead and they fell asleep for the night.

Time passed, and morning came. When Bai Rong opened her eyes, the storm had stopped and there was no more pitter-pattering sound of the heavy rain yesterday. Now she could only hear the soft sound of rainwater dripping from the leaves above.

The fresh air of the island wafted into her nose, and she drew a deep breath in.

Gu Mingchen was also awake. “Good morning, sleepyhead.”

“What’s the time?” she asked.

Glancing at his watch, he replied, “It’s 6:15 A.M. Do you want to sleep more?”
