Chapter 202: Only after separation can we reunite
In the early morning, the sky was dim and a thin layer of mist covered the air.
The young monk from the Po Temple knocked on the door.
"Master, someone wants to see you."
The old monk opened the door.
After seeing the newcomer, there was no surprise in his eyes. He just nodded slightly and said, "Come in."
The furnishings in the house were simple, with a wooden table and a few wooden chairs. There was also a statue of a deity on a cabinet nearby, and a faint scent of incense lingered in the air.
The monk poured a cup of tea, then tactfully closed the door and left.
Pei Yanchuan sat on the chair, handed over the fortune stick in his hand, lowered his eyes and said softly: "I came here with my lover to ask for fortune yesterday. I came here today to ask one thing. If I force her to have bad karma, will it have any effect on her?"
The old monk sat across from him, lowered his head, picked up the fortune sticks on the table, and after looking at them for a moment, he suddenly said, "Why don't you ask yourself? I don't think I gave you an interpretation yesterday."
The man was startled when he heard this, then he raised his eyes and smiled gently, "I'm not curious about my marriage."
Because the person he wanted had already appeared.
The old monk placed the stick back on the table and took a leisurely sip of tea. "You can't break the karma, so how can you cause any impact..."
Pei Yanchuan's jaw was tense, and his hands under the table clenched little by little.
But suddenly, the monk's old voice sounded again slowly.
"What's more, this is the result of her hard work for you. Are you really willing to destroy it?"
His expression suddenly froze, and he raised his head blankly, "What?"
The old monk did not continue.
He put down his teacup and pushed the stick back.
"You are you, and you are not you. There is something around you that is deliberately obstructing and monitoring you. I cannot intervene, but if it is not resolved, your lover will always be trapped by the past. This is the hostility of that thing towards her, and it is revenge."
"And the source of all this also comes from you."
Pei Yanchuan's pupils shrank slightly, and the scent of agarwood lingering on his nose made him dizzy, and a picture flashed through his mind.
But the speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to catch some afterimages.
The surface of the teacup reflected the man's dazed expression. Outside the house, the sound of a rooster crowing broke the tranquility of the temple.
After a moment, Pei Yanchuan pursed his lips, raised his eyes and asked softly, "Then how should we solve this problem?"
The old monk had anticipated this and only said one sentence.
"Only after separation can we meet again."
Pei Yanchuan's breath was choked, and his eyes trembled.
He has never believed in such ghost stories. It is too absurd and unacceptable for him to break up with Cici just because of one sentence.
But the old monk's next words made him stand there in a daze.
"You two have the same destiny. The old partner she is waiting for is you."
The old monk slowly stood up and sighed softly.
"The longer you delay, the more complicated things will become. That thing is always rogue, you can't let it detect you."

Yang Cici was sleeping in a daze when she felt a corner of the quilt suddenly lifted up and someone embraced her.
The man's embrace was still warm, but there was a lingering chill on his body, and a familiar smell of cigarette smoke lingered among the cold fragrance.
The tip of her nose twitched, she opened her eyes in confusion, and raised her head, struggling to identify what was happening.
After confirming that it was the right person, she continued to bury her face in the man's arms, her voice soft and vague, as if she had not yet woken up.
"Have you been out yet? What time is it?"
The man bent down and kissed the top of her head. "It's still early. I went out to buy some breakfast and see if there are any fun things to do around here. We'll go play after you wake up."
"Hmm..." Yang Cici was really sleepy. She murmured softly, "But I can't get up to eat breakfast. It will get cold..."
Pei Yanchuan laughed, touched her face, and softened his voice, "Then go out and have something hot when you wake up. I'll continue to sleep with you for a while."
Yang Cici nodded, closed her eyes and fell back into a deep sleep.
Pei Yanchuan lay on his side on the bed, quietly looking at the girl's sleeping face, his mind full of the old monk's words.
——'Only after separation can we meet again.'
He slowly lowered his eyes, hugged the girl in his arms tightly, and lowered his head to place a kiss on her forehead.
Yang Cici slept until ten o'clock before slowly waking up. After washing and changing her clothes, she sat on a chair and drank the warm water that the man poured for her.
Her eyes fell on the bed where the battle was intense last night. She blushed and silently looked away. Seeing the man putting on his coat, she thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Pei Yanchuan, have you been dreaming recently?"
The man paused, "No, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just asking, a little curious."
Yang Cici put down the cup thoughtfully.
She didn't know how long it would take Pei Yanchuan to recover his memory this time. She remembered that it was very fast before.
Could it be that, just like what the main system said, the memory cannot be restored?
—
They only spent two or three days investigating in Xicheng.
Yang Cici and Pei Yanchuan visited the developed areas several times, and then went to all the fun places around.
However, during the game, she felt Pei Yanchuan was distracted and absent-minded several times.
But when she went over to ask, the man smiled and said it was nothing, he was just thinking about work.
It wasn't until they were on the high-speed train back to City S that the man lowered his head and whispered, "Ci Ci... I'm going abroad to take care of some things. I might be gone for a while, but as for how long... I'm not sure."
Yang Cici was stunned when she heard this and turned to look at him.
Her eyes fell on the man's nervously clenched fist, and she held his hand. "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back."
It's just a business trip, why does Pei Yanchuan seem so nervous?
Pei Yanchuan booked a flight with a very tight schedule, so he had to rush to the airport as soon as he got off the high-speed train.
But before leaving, the man pressed her into the car and kissed her for more than ten minutes, leaving marks all over her neck.
The air was hot and humid, so sticky that it felt like you could squeeze out water. Yang Cici panted and lay on the man's shoulder. She checked the time, rubbed his shoulder, and said softly, "Don't you still have a flight to catch?"
Pei Yanchuan hummed, but still buried his head in the crook of her neck, tilted his head and kissed her face: "Baby, if you have any problems, go find Qin Mingfan. I've told him."
Yang Cici paused when she heard this, then turned her head and squinted her eyes in confusion.
Um?
Why did Pei Yanchuan sound strange? Why was he looking for Qin Mingfan? Couldn't they just text each other?
After sending Pei Yanchuan away, Yang Cici went home to pack her things, and then went to Yu Jing's house to pick up the dog.
Yu Jing saw the kiss marks left on her neck, leaned against the door, clicked her tongue twice, and looked teasing.
"You're really awesome, sister. People online say that the CEO of Pei Corporation is unkind, but you managed to get it in one day. Your progress is faster than a rocket."
Yang Cici blushed slightly, touched her ear and turned her head, "No..."
Yu Jing raised her chin and asked, "Is your President Pei waiting for you downstairs?"
"No, we came back together today, and then he went abroad again. He had some business at his overseas company." Yang Cici lowered her head and stroked the golden retriever's head, then raised her head and smiled, "Then I'll go back first."
Walking downstairs, she took a photo of the golden retriever and sent it to Pei Yanchuan.
I'm going home now.
It was not until late at night when she was about to go to bed that the man sent her a reply.
[Okay, baby, go to bed early(^^*) I'll send the report to you.]
After receiving the documents, Yang Cici chatted for a few minutes and then went to bed.
She returned to the company the next day and sent the documents to Cheng Aojia.
Then she sent a message to Pei Yanchuan, but maybe because of the time difference, Pei Yanchuan did not reply to her.
Yang Cici didn't care and took her phone back.
Cheng Aojia sorted out the documents, then looked up and asked, "We're going to Pei's company later. Are you going? You just came back from a field trip, so you can talk to them in person."
She nodded. "Okay."
When they arrived at Pei's, it was Qin Mingfan who met them again.
The only difference was that this time the smile on the man's face was particularly bright, even a little too enthusiastic.
He poured them water and asked if they were hungry and wanted some fruit. He was completely different from the smiling tiger who exploited them last time.
Cheng Aojia felt his scalp tingling at this enthusiasm.
She silently took a step back and leaned close to Yang Cici's ear, asking suspiciously, "Are you trying to make us let our guard down before setting a trap?"
Receiving Qin Mingfan's teasing gaze, Yang Cici said: "..."
"Maybe...it's just pure enthusiasm."
