Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.
Chapter 365 An Encounter at the Temple
The Lu family.
Lu Jinnan stared into thought as he looked at Han Yue's message.
He couldn't shake the trope of twins, and having lost that round, a brilliant idea struck him. He called out to Su Xue, who was reading a parenting book in bed, "Sweetie Xue, I have a great idea, want to hear it?"
She climbed onto the bed, a bright smile on her face.
Su Xue held the book and looked up, seeing the word "scheme" in Lu Jinnan's eyes.
It's so obvious, even a blind person could sense it.
"You're not going to be unable to resist finding a mistress, are you?" This was Su Xue's first reaction, since she couldn't be used right now.
Lu Jinnan greatly admired his great-aunt's unique ideas.
He raised his hand and swore an oath, "What are you thinking, grandma? I have neither the heart nor the guts. Rest assured, it's already hard enough for me to cultivate one field for you. It would be self-torture for me to look for other fields."
Hearing this, Su Xue's expression immediately softened. Her lips curled into a wide smile, her eyes brightened, and she looked very satisfied. "So, what do you want to say?"
Lu Jinnan leaned against the headboard, speaking with a scheming tone, "Isn't my sister-in-law pregnant? Han Yue just said in the group that the gene is from Princess Xixi's side, so I guess that my sister-in-law's ability to have twins is 100% due to this gene, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Ji Hancheng. If my sister-in-law gives birth to a daughter and we have a son, then we'll have our son kidnap her."
Su Xue thought the idea was pretty good, but Little Strawberry had already been betrothed to her. "Little Nan, but Yueyue is already betrothed to Lele."
On the day of the inspection, Su Xue also thought the same thing and said to order another one. But after returning home, she thought about it again and realized that this operation seemed a bit strange.
If she's carrying a son, then they'll all be engaged, and the siblings will become brothers-in-law—it'll be too messy.
Lu Jinnan objected, "No way, how can Yueyue be given to Ji Hancheng? Absolutely not. If this baby is a son, we'll try to steal one of my sister-in-law's daughters. If it's a daughter, she'll stay away from Ji Hancheng's three sons."
Su Xue: "............" A fiercely protective mother, and a bit dark-skinned.
In the end, Su Xue was persuaded by Lu Jinnan's few words.
However, what Su Xue didn't say was that she still liked Lele very much, and she would decide for her daughter to decide in the future.
Before we knew it, it was Sunday again.
This weekend, Tang Junyao and Su Xue stayed home with their husband and child.
Han Guoguo, who was single, was bored. She went to the dock to find her brother, Han Yue, who was holding his phone and chuckling foolishly.
The air was thick with the smell of dogs everywhere; she needed to find a quiet place to cleanse her soul.
Otherwise, it's easy to be misled.
Han Guoguo climbed up to the tallest temple in the capital, panting. Surrounded by mountains, ancient trees reached for the sky, and the lush greenery made it possible to smell the breath of nature with even the slightest breath.
The temple was very quiet in the early morning. The rhythmic sound of the bell struck people's hearts, and the incense burners surrounded the world, as if they were trying to cleanse the souls of the worshippers.
Han Guoguo walked towards the incense stall, bought incense, candles, and a lighter, and then scanned the money with her phone.
Carrying her things, Han Guoguo walked into the temple. She didn't recognize any of the Buddha statues. This was her first time visiting a temple. She watched how the people around her worshipped and lit incense. After watching for a while, she seemed to have learned how to do it. She remembered their actions and started to do it herself.
Looking at the incense she was offering, which was already filled with smoke, Han Guoguo knelt down and sincerely prayed, putting her hands together, closing her eyes and silently reciting in her heart.
As she closed her eyes, a man who had come to cleanse his soul knelt down on the prayer mat beside her, worshipping in the same posture.
Han Guoguo silently prayed in her heart: May my family, Sister Lu and Brother Yu, be safe, sound, and healthy. May my brother and Xixi be together forever and happy for a lifetime. May Tang Junyao and Su Xue give birth to their little baby safely. Finally, may Buddha bless me to be happy.
He opened his eyes only after making all his wishes.
When I got up, I saw someone next to me wearing black jeans, a beige and black striped shirt that looked like pure cotton, and white cushioned shoes.
Su Xue's brother, her benefactor, what a coincidence!
Perhaps sensing the intense gaze from the side, Su Yu opened his eyes and looked at the person next to him, his eyes widening in an instant.
Su Yu: "................"
"Miss Han?" Su Yu exclaimed in surprise.
He was feeling a bit troubled lately and wanted to come to the temple to calm his mind and draw a fortune stick. He never expected to meet Miss Han here.
Han Guoguo was also surprised. "Um, what a coincidence! Why don't you pray first?"
Kneeling on a prayer mat to chat is really impolite and insincere.
"Okay." Su Yu closed his eyes again, but a few more doubts lingered in his mind.
The bodyguards hidden in the shadows were shocked once again. They had already been driven to despair by the young lady's actions after climbing such a mountain so early in the morning, and now they were even more shocked to see the eldest young master of the Su family.
One of them asked, "The places where Miss and Young Master Su always go on dates are really quite unique."
Another said, "Of course! Last time she drove to the countryside and back, this time she climbed the highest temple. Maybe that's just how a young lady is."
"Hmm, this relationship is much more unusual than Yue Ge's."
"Of course! When has the young lady ever been simple-minded? Just a few days ago, didn't she crash into one of the dockworkers' electric scooters and then use it to rip off the door of their business partner's vehicle?"
"Our young lady is really something else, I'm impressed. There aren't many people who come to a temple to find love."
"Maybe they want Buddha to bless them for a long time. We'll just follow along."
Standing outside the temple, Han Guoguo looked down at the foot of the mountain. It really was high. No wonder so many people came to worship. First, climbing up showed their sincerity, and second, such a high place was very quiet. Even without worship, this environment could purify the mind disturbed by the mundane world.
Sunlight fell on the man who came out of the door. His tall figure stepped out of the threshold, refined and elegant. If this were ancient times, Su Yu would probably be a charming young master from a noble family.
Han Guoguo stared at Su Yu for a few seconds before looking away.
Su Yu came out and glanced at Han Guoguo, who was wearing a beige sweatshirt and suit. She looked simple and clean, like she was there to worship Buddha.
He politely took a step forward. "Miss Han is a Buddhist?"
Su Yu was not a cold person to begin with; he was very thoughtful and gentle, and he would never ignore someone he knew.
Han Guoguo smiled gently, the warm sunlight making her feel even more tender. "Well, how should I put it? Actually, not everyone who comes here is a believer. Maybe they have a wish in their hearts that they hope will come true. Is it impolite of me to say this?"
In fact, Su Yu felt that Han Guoguo was right. People who come to temples are not necessarily sincere. Some may be desperate and place their hopes on temples, while others may be devout Buddhists. In short, only the worshippers themselves know the truth.
Just like people who go to the civil affairs bureau to register their marriages aren't necessarily in love. Some are just making do, some are in a contractual relationship, and some are truly in love. Only they themselves know the real reason.
Su Yu, still holding the incense stick in his hand, said calmly, "No, it might be the truth."
Then Su Yu realized that this place was quite far from the city center, and Miss Han's driving skills were indeed a bit of a challenge. "Did Miss Han drive here herself?"
Upon hearing this, Han Guoguo spoke before she could think, "I came by taxi."
He then added, "Yes, I came by taxi."
For some reason, Su Yu thought it was more suitable for her to take a taxi than drive. He thought that the eldest daughter of the Han family had dangerous navigation skills, and she might accidentally become an immortal.
In the end, neither Han Guoguo nor Su Yu went to draw lots because the other party was present.
Han Guoguo, who never jokes, is very perceptive. She noticed the complex emotions in Su Yu's eyes and guessed it was because of Yao Yao. However, she didn't expose him but instead warmly invited him to take a walk together.
"Young Master Su, since we're here, and this place is quite nice, why don't we purify our souls together and breathe in the fresh air of this pure land?"
Han Guoguo suggested.
I always felt that Su Yu was suppressing a lot of things in his heart, which gave people a very tired feeling. In general, he was very reserved and didn't say what he thought like others.
Although her brother is also a man of few words, he knows exactly what he wants—whether it's sleeping or dating—and he's a cunning and calculating wolf in sheep's clothing. He lives a carefree life.
When Su Yu met Han Guoguo's sincere invitation, it felt like refusing would be a crime, and he didn't want to be impolite. Besides, he had come today genuinely to relax, so he naturally agreed, "Sure, does Miss Han know the way?"
Could she say she didn't know the place? She shouldn't get lost, even though the temple was quite large. She said somewhat uncertainly, "How about we walk to one place and make a mark?"
This is a good idea, that's what Han Guoguo thinks.
The navigation system couldn't figure this out either. You can't just type "exit" into the navigation app, can you? The temple isn't a tourist area and there's no map.
You have to rely on "11" (walking), which means walking on your own two feet.
Su Yu: ".............." Does this young lady really not know how to use navigation? Or is she from the primitive era?
He discovered something new in the eldest daughter of the Han family: she has a terrible sense of direction, which is pretty much confirmed.
To avoid discouraging the other person, Su Yu patiently replied, "I know the way."
Han Guoguo: If you know the way, why are you asking me? Fine, I won't hold it against you since you look so gloomy. After all, you're my benefactor.
The two walked side by side in silence, while a bodyguard in plainclothes, looking like he was there to pray, followed slowly from the shadows.
Walking together without speaking was too oppressive for the lively Han Guoguo. Trying to ease the tension, she asked, "What made you decide to come to this temple, Young Master Su?"
Su Yu walked forward, carrying incense in one hand and with the other in his pocket. "I found it online."
"What a coincidence, me too."
Once Han Guoguo started talking, she went on and on. Su Yu felt that she was a bit like his younger sister Xiaoxue, but he didn't find her noisy.
But there are always people who shatter the beautiful picture; not all destined people can meet, and not all undestined people can meet.
