Chapter 549: Chapter 549: His Understanding of Prayer Is a Mutual Exchange of Benefits
Chi Enen had always thought he was talking about the kind of temple with red walls and green tiles, shrouded in mist.
It wasn’t until she arrived in front of a beautiful church that she belatedly realized he had confused the church with the temple! He had taken her to a church!
However, this church was extremely large.
The magnificent European-style church appeared at first glance as if it were a medieval castle.
As soon as their car stopped at the church, someone specially opened the car door for them.
Li Beijue got out of the car first, and the person lowered their head obsequiously and said, “President Li, you finally arrived. The pope delayed today’s prayer especially for you.”
“En,” he didn’t even glance at that person as he reached out a hand towards the car door, “Chi Enen, get out of the car.”
The man looked curiously into the car.
He saw an oriental woman with a delicate face step out from the car, her skin as white as jade against the backdrop of her blue shirt dress. Although her appearance wasn’t stunning, she had an aura of radiance that made people feel inexplicably comfortable.
Was this the woman Young Master Li had brought to the church to have the pope pray for her, no matter the astronomical price?
Chi Enen didn’t notice the hand he had stretched out and got out of the car by herself.
Li Beijue glared at her angrily and forcefully took hold of her left hand, pulling her arrogantly towards the inside of the church…
The deeper they went, the more Chi Enen realized the grandeur of this church.
All kinds of oil paintings and sculptures filled the corridors, each a master’s work. Further inside was a prayer hall that could accommodate a thousand people.
Li Beijue, pulling her along, ignored the stares of thousands, and headed straight for the first row.
Soon, an old man wearing a golden crown and a cloak walked over, surrounded by people.
When he passed by Chi Enen, he suddenly stopped and muttered something to the person beside him in a language she couldn’t understand from Country Y.
Then he reached out and touched her stomach.
Chi Enen was startled by his abrupt action and instinctively looked to the man beside her, fearing that he would lash out at the old man, who appeared to be in his seventies.
However, what she saw was the usually possessive man with a cold face, seemingly not bothered by the old man’s touch on her stomach. He spoke arrogantly and fluently in the language of Country Y with the old man.
His expression was more serious and solemn than ever before.
Even though Chi Enen couldn’t understand what he was saying, she felt that it must have been something very important.
The kind-looking old man then turned back, examined Chi Enen for a few moments, and reached out again, this time placing his hand directly on her stomach.
He then started to chant what seemed like an ancient blessing, profound and serene.
Quickly, he finished, removed his hand, and turned to say something to Li Beijue. This time, Li Beijue’s tense jaw relaxed a little, revealing a hint of satisfaction.
The old man then walked away…
Throughout the entire process, Chi Enen didn’t understand a single word and was unclear about what they were doing, she couldn’t help but tug at his sleeve and asked in a low voice, “Li Beijue, what are you doing?”
Having obtained the results he wanted, Li Beijue was in a good mood, his voice deep and soft as his gaze fell on her flat stomach, “Nothing much, just praying for the bun,” he said, his mood significantly brighter.
Praying indeed, but it was specifically for her to carry a boy in her belly!
Li Beijue narrowed his pupils, at first these people disagreed with the pope praying personally for Chi Enen, but when benefits and family were at stake, they changed their minds and agreed.
Although he didn’t believe in prayers tinted with interests, if the prayer really worked, he would be willing to try to believe in these elusive things in the future!
