Shanshui City No. 6.
At first light, Qin Meiru pulled Bao Nan, who was still half-asleep under the covers, out of bed.
"Stop sleeping! Didn’t you promise a few days ago to accompany me to Nanfo Temple to light incense? And now it’s been delayed for days?"
Talking about this made Qin Meiru angry.
That day, Bao Nan received a call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and after taking it, he rushed off in a hurry.
It wasn’t until the early hours of this morning that he showed up, causing her plan to go light incense to be postponed for so long.
So she wouldn’t let him off easily.
Thinking this, Qin Meiru glared at Bao Nan, who was still in bed, and turned to leave.
Bao Nan lazily half-lay on the bed, his light gray pajamas loosely draping across his upper body.
After a moment of silence, he sighed helplessly, slowly getting up to wash up.
"..."
After breakfast, Bao Nan drove his pitch-black Rolls Royce, taking Qin Meiru to Nanfo Temple.
Due to the dense morning fog not having lifted, the ancient temple, shrouded in hazy morning mist, looked like a silhouette floating on clouds, appearing particularly solemn and awe-inspiring. In the distance, a few chimes sounded, making one apprehensive.
Jiang Huai Bei’s mother, Song Tan, had long been waiting at the entrance for them to arrive.
"Tan Tan, I’m sorry we’re late."
Qin Meiru approached her with a face full of apology.
After apologizing, she began to complain incessantly about Bao Nan, "It’s all his fault! Dawdling all day long, I don’t even know what he’s up to! Not once has he brought back a girlfriend for me, just messing around all the time!"
Song Tan, who was beside her, heard her complaints and let out a few helpless chuckles.
The protagonist being complained about by Qin Meiru — Bao Nan.
He followed them expressionlessly, holding Qin Meiru’s handbag.
The three of them walked into the temple one after the other.
Qin Meiru and Song Tan have a habit of coming to the temple to pay their respects once a month.
Bao Nan is a non-believer, but Qin Meiru thinks he doesn’t respect life enough, so she always drags him along.
At these times, he could only boringly carry her bag.
"Tan Tan, why are you heading towards the Yin Yuan Platform?" After paying their respects, Qin Meiru was pulled by Song Tan towards the Yin Yuan Platform.
Song Tan patted her hand, "Huai Bei recently brought back a girl. I plan to get a divination for them."
"Hmm? Huai Bei is dating!?"
"Yes, he brought her back for me to see last time, and she’s quite polite."
Hearing this, Qin Meiru’s tone instantly became sarcastically jovial, "How nice, unlike some people, pushing thirty and still a single dog."
This "some people" naturally referred to Bao Nan, who was following behind them.
Upon hearing this, Bao Nan’s mouth twitched slightly, but he didn’t respond.
He actually wanted to be in a relationship.
But it also had to be agreed by someone.
After once again complaining about Bao Nan, Qin Meiru continued chatting with Song Tan, "Tan Tan, even though Huai Bei likes her, you still need to observe more. A good first impression doesn’t mean she is a good person."
Song Tan smiled, "Sister, don’t worry, I will make sure to look out for Huai Bei."
"Then that’s good."
Unknowingly, the three of them had walked to the Yin Yuan Platform.
In the courtyard, there was a Chinese scholar tree, its branches adorned with entwined red strings.
Not far away was a divination stand, where anyone wishing for or seeking a relationship could go forward to draw a lot.
Song Tan was the first to approach, asking a monk in charge of the divination stand for a set of divination sticks.
Just as she was about to shake them, her peripheral vision suddenly caught Bao Nan in the corner.
