Chapter 40: Fulfilling a Vow

"This is not a reason for you to peek at others changing clothes." Tu Ran was furious.

Xie Nancheng put down his phone and looked at her calmly, "I didn't peek, I was looking openly."

"Do you have any shame?"

"Besides, I'm not looking at anyone else. What's wrong with me looking at my own wife?"

“It’s just shameless.”

Tu Ran was so angry that she pulled up a nightgown on the bed, covered her upper body, and went into the bathroom immediately.

Xie Nancheng couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth.

He liked to tease her and found it very funny to see her angry.

After waiting for more than an hour, Tu Ran finally came out after drying his hair.

"You haven't left yet?"

"When will you return to the master bedroom?"

Tu Ran ignored him and changed the subject, picking up the watch on the dressing table and handing it to him, "This is back to you."

It was Xie Huailan's watch, and it should be said that Tu Ran won it in the bet.

"What you win belongs to you."

"I don't want it, it's too expensive." Tu Ran didn't miss the words "an apartment in the Third Ring Road".

Even if the housing prices in Hong Kong are not particularly outrageous, an apartment in the Third Ring Road will cost two to three million yuan.

A watch worth two or three million is not something she can wear. Tu Ran still has this self-awareness.

"Don't change the subject. When are we going back to the master bedroom?"

"Xie Nancheng, are you done yet?"

"You are not keeping your word, are you going back on your word?" Xie Nancheng tilted his head and looked at Tu Ran.

Her hair wasn't completely dry yet, and her little face was a little red.

After all, she is in her early twenties. No matter how calm and experienced she is, her face is still very childish.

"Our relationship isn't that close to begin with, do we need to pretend?"

"Yes, I need a loving wife who cooperates with me, at least on the surface."

"Xie Nancheng, what on earth do you want to do?"

"Come back with me."

"No, I'm not feeling well today, so I'll stay in the guest room." Tu Ran leaned against the head of the bed angrily.

"Very good, then I'll go find grandma and question her. It's because of making medicine for her that you found an excuse to separate from me. I'm going to hold grandma accountable."

After saying that, Xie Nancheng stood up and was about to leave.

"stop."

Tu Ran's angry voice sounded behind him.

The big man was secretly delighted, but his appearance remained calm.

"What's up?"

"Don't disturb grandma. I'm going back."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Tu Ran glared at Xie Nancheng fiercely before returning to the master bedroom angrily.

As soon as she got back, she got into bed and lay down with her back facing Xie Nancheng.

"Why are the Lin family so kind as to invite you back for dinner?"

"What are you plotting again?"

"You're asking me to divorce you?"

Thinking of the information he overheard at the homecoming banquet three days ago, Xie Nancheng thought that the Lin couple were forcing Tu Ran to divorce him according to Lin Siyao's bad idea.

"No."

"So what did you say?"

"Just chatting."

"I don't believe it." Xie Nancheng sneered.

"If you don't believe me, go ask me yourself. Don't bother me."

"Tu Ran, you seem very impatient with me. Is this how you treat your husband?"

"Go to whoever has a good attitude."

"Tu Ran...

"Shut up, stop talking, I'm going to sleep, turn off the lights."

Xie Nancheng: ...

They seemed to be having a few words, but when they looked at the time, it was indeed getting late.

Tu Ran has been busy treating the old lady's illness for the past three days and is really tired.

Sure enough, after a while.

He heard the sound of even breathing and fell asleep.

The next morning

"Of course, you should go out with grandma later."

"Okay." Tu Ran nodded.

"You agreed without even asking grandma where she was going?" Xie Nancheng looked at her sideways.

The old lady of the Xie family glared at her grandson and asked, "Can I still sell her to your wife?"

"That's not possible. After all, she's not worth much."

"Shut up and eat quickly." Mrs. Xie couldn't stand it anymore and quickly scolded her son.

Xie Nancheng went to the company after breakfast.

The Xie family's driver drove the Alpha and took the old lady of the Xie family, Pinggu, and Tu Ran with them.

It was already very cold in Xiangcheng in early December.

Before we knew it, it started snowing heavily halfway through the journey.

It took more than two hours to reach the foot of the mountain.

"This is Wunv Mountain. There is a temple in the middle of the mountain called Baiyun Temple."

“Venerable Sanbao is my good friend.”

Tu Ran listened carefully to the introduction of the old lady of the Xie family.

After getting off the car, I suddenly felt a gust of cold wind.

"Aunt Ping, bring me the cloak."

"Yes, ma'am."

Pinggu took out the prepared cloak from the trunk of the car and put it on the old lady of the Xie family and Tu Ran respectively.

The color of the Xie family old lady's robe is navy blue, and the patterns are all auspicious cloud patterns.

Tu Ran's is red with a plum blossom pattern printed on it.

To be honest, I have only seen this kind of cloak in Qing Dynasty palace dramas, and Tu Ran has never bought one himself.

I haven't seen any members of the Lin family wearing it either.

It’s a very retro style, especially Tu Ran’s piece, which feels exquisitely made.

The light red cloak looks particularly dazzling in the vast snow.

"This was custom-made by the old lady. The material is very good and it keeps you warm."

"Thank you, grandma."

After Tu Ran put it on, she liked it very much and even turned around in a circle.

The three people plus the driver took a special cable car and started to get on the bus.

After arriving at Baiyun Temple, the abbot had been waiting for a long time.

"Thank you for your help, Master Sanbao."

"You are too kind, old lady. Your sincere worship of Buddha is your own blessing."

"This is my granddaughter-in-law, Tu Ran."

"Ran Ran, I'm here to meet Master Sanbao."

Tu Ran also imitated the old lady and put his hands together, bowing slightly to the master, "Master Sanbao."

"The old lady is so lucky to have a granddaughter-in-law."

Master Sanbao has a kind face and his cotton robe is old but very clean.

In the main hall is a very tall statue of Tathagata, with the Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Samantabhadra on both sides.

Tu Ran raised his head and looked at it quietly. The Buddha statue was extremely solemn and dignified.

After Master Sanbao took them to worship Buddha, the old lady took Pinggu to have tea with the abbot.

"Grandma, the scenery outside is beautiful. I want to go out and take some pictures."

"Okay, be careful, Ranran."

The old lady of the Xie family now looks at her granddaughter-in-law with full doting.

Tu Ran slowly walked out of Baiyun Temple and headed towards the high platform outside.

It is located halfway up the mountain and you can overlook the entire scenery below.

Even if it is covered with snow, it still has a unique charm.

Tu Ran took out his cell phone and took several photos in succession.

"come over."

"Come over here."

Tu Ran suddenly heard a voice, as if calling her over again.

But she looked up in surprise and saw no one around.

On such a windy and snowy day, there shouldn’t be any tourists in such a remote place halfway up the mountain, right?

"Come."

"Come on, come quickly."

It was a very gentle woman's voice, and Tu Ran felt that the voice was inexplicably familiar.

I can't recall where I heard it before...

The sound that appeared out of nowhere was getting closer and closer. She curiously followed the sound and walked a few steps to the west side of the platform.

Suddenly, my feet slipped and I was heading towards the cliff...
