Reborn To Love 11 Springborn Lake

11 Springborn Lake

‘”Get on

” Gu Yechen urged.’

‘”I. . .”‘

‘Gu Yechen turned his face back and He Xinyan immediately climbed onto his back when she saw his expression.’

‘It was so scary! He Xinyan didn’t know that Gu Yechen’s expression could be much more scary

but he just didn’t show it to her.’

‘Gu Yechen stood up and continued walking. The trail seemed to go on forever

and they were surrounded by tall trees on both sides.’

‘Gu Yechen had a nice and refreshing mint scent on his body

and it made He Xinyan feel relaxed. She tried to stay alert but her fatigue took over.’

‘He Xinyan rested her head onto his broad shoulder and closed her eyes.’

‘Gu Yechen realized that the woman on his back had fallen asleep

so he began walking slower

trying to keep a steady pace.’

‘His soft lips stretched into a rare smile

and his eyes shined like the stars in the sky. Even the slowly setting sun couldn’t dim them.’

‘He hadn’t smiled so genuinely in a long time

but Gu Yechen liked this new feeling of happiness. He didn’t want it to go away

he didn’t want her to go away.’

‘The small body moved around a little

searching for the most comfortable position. Her body pressed against his

light and soft like a cloud.’

‘Gu Yechen had walked a mile already when He Xinyan woke up. She looked around and was surprised at what she saw.’

‘The tall and ugly trees had turned into a beautiful scenery of flowers. They were on a wooden bridge right now

and there were flowers all around them.’

‘”It’s beautiful. . .” He Xinyan couldn’t help but exclaim. A gentle breeze flew by

and the flowers danced in the wind.’

‘”You’re awake.”‘

‘He Xinyan had completely forgotten about the possibility that Gu Yechen was trying to throw her away

and all her attention was on the beautiful flowers now.’

‘”Let me down.”‘

‘Gu Yechen bent down slightly and allowed He Xinyan to jump down onto the bridge.’

‘”Can you take a picture of me?” He Xinyan said as she handed her phone over to Gu Yechen. She jumped up onto the railing of the bridge and sat on it

swinging her legs around.’

‘Gu Yechen opened up the camera and looked at the woman on the screen. So beautiful. . .’

‘”Did you take it yet?” He Xinyan asked after several seconds

pulling Gu Yechen back to reality. He quickly took a photo and handed the phone back to He Xinyan.’

‘”Your photo taking skills suck!” He Xinyan commented

“The lighting is so dark and the angle makes my legs look so short.”‘

‘Gu Yechen cleared his throat and didn’t reply. Looks like step 1 on getting a wife was to start studying how to take good photos!’

‘”Let’s keep going.” Gu Yechen bent down again so He Xinyan could climb on. However

He Xinyan shook her head and walked forward.’

‘”It’s okay

I can walk.”‘

‘The flower pasture also ended when the bridge did

and it turned into trees again.’

‘”Did I miss any other pretty places?” He Xinyan asked

kind of disappointed to see the boring trees again.’

‘”There was a waterfall when you fell asleep.” Gu Yechen looked down at the girl next to him and smiled. She was no longer afraid anymore and seemed to be very energetic and excited right now as she skipped down the trail.’

‘Gu Yechen was almost 190 centimeters

so his long legs allowed him to keep up with He Xinyan even though she was skipping. He walked a few feet behind her

and his expression was even more gentle than the breeze blowing by.’

‘They walked like that for a few more minutes

and He Xinyan had stopped skipping because it was getting tiring.’

‘”How long is this -” The trees suddenly came to an end as He Xinyan and Gu Yechen stepped out of the shadows.’

‘He Xinyan realized that they were on a mountain as they reached the edge of the cliff. Below them

the hundreds of green trees stood tall and firm

lining the hills and edges of the landscape around them.’

‘The sun was beginning to set

the rich hues of red blended with orange

purple

crimson. It was the sign of an ending day

but also the promise of the rising sun that comes after the dark night ends.’

‘There was hope again. Hope for a new day and hope for her.’

‘To the right

there was a slow trickle of water from a waterfall

and all of the water drained into a small lake a few hundred feet below where they were standing.’

‘”Do you like it?” Gu Yechen asked nervously. He took a big risk to plan this date because he was afraid Xinyan wouldn’t like it.’

‘They walked for a long time and it was tiring. He didn’t know if it was a good decision or not.’

‘”I love it. . .” He Xinyan turned around to look at Gu Yechen

“Where is this? I never knew Country Z had a place like this!”‘

‘Gu Yechen let out a breath of relief and took a step forward

“This is yours.”‘

‘He Xinyan turned to look at Gu Yechen with confusion in her eyes.’

‘”I bought this entire trail and also the lake down there. You can name it.”‘

‘He Xinyan’s mouth opened from surprise and happiness as she looked at the sparkling lake below them

“Springborn Lake.” *’

‘Gu Yechen nodded his head. His wifey was very smart!’

‘”Why? Why are you giving this to me?” He Xinyan asked. For some reason

she had a feeling that their relationship was more completed than a deal.’

‘If Gu Yechen chose to date her because of his rumors

shouldn’t he reveal their relationship to the public? And why did he insist on going on dates with her and giving her stuff when their relationship was completely fake?’

”Because I love you

‘ he thought. Gu Yechen’s eyebrows slightly knit together

“Just as a first date gift.”‘

‘He Xinyan nodded her head slowly and looked away. Although the He Corporation was also considered a pretty decent business

it couldn’t even compare with the Gu Corporation and the Gu family’s business empire.’

‘He Xinyan was considered as the upper class in society

but in front of Gu Yechen

she was merely a nobody

a humble peasant.’

‘Buying a whole trail and a gigantic lake just for their first date?! For normal people

the cost of this gift is more than all the money they will ever earn in a lifetime.’

‘”It’s getting late. Do you want to go back?” Gu Yechen noticed He Xinyan’s weird expression and was a little disappointed.’

‘Did she not like his gift? Was it not grand enough? Should he buy a country for her next time? Hm. . . that sounds like a good idea.’

‘*helemon’s note: Wow. . . Am I the only one that doesn’t understand CEO Gu’s thoughts. . . Maybe my IQ is just too low for him!’

‘”Okay! Thank you for taking me here. It’s really refreshing.” She had two more days of tests and then it was graduation day. He Xinyan never got the opportunity to appreciate nature in her past

so she genuinely enjoyed this trip.’

‘In her past life

Su Zhiming was her world

her everything. She didn’t care about anything else

so there was also no way she spent her precious time in nature.’

‘In this life

she was going to live every day

every second to its fullest. It was time to live for herself!’
