Chapter 83: Praying for a Lasting Marriage
Sang Wan stared at him with burning eyes.
"Master, please tell me the truth."
Lu Tingyuan slowly raised his head, his expression had returned to calm. His weather-beaten face no longer had the elegance and nobility it once had, and was instead a transcendental look nurtured by the morning bell and evening drum.
He looked at Sang Wan, whose face looked very much like Sang Jingchu. His fists, hidden under his monk's robe, were clenched tightly, with his knuckles turning white.
a long time.
He sighed and slowly uttered three words, "I'm not."
The heart that has been hanging in the air, no one knows the feeling of the heart suddenly falling to the ground when hearing these three words.
Sang Wan felt it, and seemed to hear it.
With a "bang", it went from the throat to the chest.
She believed Lu Tingyuan's words; his expression was not fake.
At this moment, Lu Tingyuan's voice rang out again, filled with endless sadness and reminiscence, "Your mother and I... were close friends. I did... admire her my entire life, but she already had someone else in her heart and never accepted me."
These words explained Sun Meixi's hatred and seemed to explain why he became a monk.
Because the person he loved died, he no longer had any worries in this world.
Sang Wan's nerves, which had been tense, now relaxed a little, and a layer of moisture appeared in his eyes.
It’s not because of sadness, but because the huge rock that was pressing on my heart has finally fallen to the ground.
She looked at the man in front of her who had suffered all his life for his mother, and felt indescribably desolate in her heart.
The world of emotions is unique, and this is probably why her mother did not have much contact with him later.
If you can't give a response, it's better to choose not to see him.
Sang Wan wiped away her tears, met his compassionate gaze, and spoke clearly, word by word:
"Thank you! Lu Tingzhou and I are truly in love. Without this worry, I will continue to walk hand in hand with him, no matter how difficult it is."
Lu Tingyuan's pupils shrank. He didn't expect that Jing Chu's daughter was with his third brother.
No wonder…
"Jinxuan's mother misunderstood. If you truly love each other, I wish you all the best."
He knew that the Lu family would not accept Sang Wan so easily, and the issue between them would not be easily resolved.
Sun Meixi would not let her enter the Lu family.
"Wanwan."
Sang Wan was about to express her gratitude when a familiar voice rang out.
Lu Tingzhou came in from outside, exhausted. Standing at the door of the Zen courtyard, he finally saw the woman he had been thinking about day and night.
Lu Tingyuan looked at the haggard Lu Tingzhou and pursed his lips slightly. No one can escape love, not even the third child with the coldest temper in their family.
Lu Tingzhou moved closer, held Sang Wan's hand, looked at Lu Tingyuan, and called him "Big Brother".
"Amitabha."
Lu Tingyuan clasped his hands together and nodded slightly.
"Brother, excuse me for disturbing you."
"Tingzhou, if you really like this girl, don't miss her. It doesn't matter if you don't want to enter the Lu family."
Lu Tingyuan knew that he had said too much, but he couldn't bear to see these two people being hindered by his decision.
"Don't worry, big brother. She will be my only wife."
"Amitabha."
Lu Tingyuan turned and left. He shouldn't have asked about it anymore, and he shouldn't have asked about what would happen in the future.
Watching Lu Tingyuan leave, Lu Tingzhou hugged Sang Wan.
"Why didn't you tell me if you had something to say? Why did you come to see my brother secretly?"
Sang Wan saw obvious red bloodshot under his eyes, and considering the time, she knew he hadn't slept all night.
"Let's go out, this is a Buddhist holy place."
Lu Tingzhou nodded, held her hand tightly, and walked out of the meditation room side by side.
"The Buddha here is very effective, why not go and worship him?"
Lu Tingzhou took her hand and kissed it gently, feeling a sense of preciousness as if it had been lost and then found again.
Sang Wan pursed her lips. Such a grown man actually believed in gods and Buddhas.
"What do you want?"
Lu Tingzhou looked at her with a doting look in his eyes, "Please let our marriage last."
Sang Wan looked at him. His handsome features were now softer and more charming.
"Lu Tingzhou, I love you, only you."
Lu Tingzhou pursed his lips and took her to the marriage tree to make a wish. When he tied a red ribbon with two names written on it to the tree, Lu Tingzhou clasped his hands together and made a wish seriously.
After making a wish, the man raised his arm, put his arm around her waist, and held her in his arms.
"Someone will be here soon."
"We are doing this openly and honestly, but it feels like we are having an affair here."
As the man spoke, he wrapped his powerful hands around her waist, with the other hand he tore open his coat and brought her into his clothes, and with one hand he gently lifted her chin.
“Hmm…”
Sang Wan widened her eyes nervously and tried to push him away, but she couldn't.
The two of them kissed passionately under the marriage tree. From a distance, it looked like there was only one person.
The two walked hand in hand on the road down the mountain. Because of the bad weather, there were not many people on the road.
A leisurely and tranquil feeling filled Sang Wan's heart.
Snowflakes were already falling, and Sang Wan only then discovered that there were icicles hanging upside down on the trees by the roadside.
The unique beauty makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Lu Tingzhou whispered, "What did Sun Meixi say to you that made you run here without telling me."
Sang Wan pouted and said, "She said Lu Tingyuan is my biological father."
Lu Tingzhou: ...
He paused for a moment, "It seems you have the answer."
Sang Wan blinked and nodded with a smile, "Of course."
She didn't dare to think about what they would do if it was true, and how could she bear to leave the man in front of her.
"Are you stupid? Why don't you ask Jinxuan to check your kinship with you? Why are you traveling so far in such cold weather?"
Sang Wan was stunned for a moment, it seemed to make sense.
If no kinship relationship exists, doesn’t that mean it’s not the case?
Sang Wan turned her head and looked at him, pursed her lips and smiled, biting her lip and said, "Lu Tingzhou, I can't walk anymore, carry me."
She didn't eat anything last night and went up the mountain early this morning, so she has no strength at all now.
Lu Tingzhou squatted in front of her and let her lie on his back.
"hold me."
When Lu Tingzhou stood up, he turned his head and kissed her on the cheek, reminding her softly.
The smile on Sang Wan's face spread from his eyes to his heart, and this was the sweetness that belonged to him.
She tilted her head and gave Lu Tingzhou a deep kiss on the side of his face.
"Give you some gas, Mr. Lu, please don't be unable to walk."
Lu Tingzhou smiled and said, "Only with your small body?"
Sang Wan lay on top of him, thinking it would be nice to just keep walking like this.
I hadn't slept much for two nights in a row, and I fell into a deep sleep while walking.
Lu Tingzhou felt the person on his back, her breathing was steady, and the hand holding him was a little loose, and he knew that she was asleep.
The emptiness of a day and a night was filled at this moment.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Qi Qi saw Lu Tingzhou carrying Sang Wan down on his back. Thinking that she had fainted from sadness, she came over anxiously.
"It's okay, I fell asleep, let's go to the hotel."
…
When Sang Wan woke up, it was already dark outside.
Seeing the man still sleeping beside her, she began to feel distressed.
I originally wanted him to recite a passage, but I didn't expect him to fall asleep and wake up at this time.
She raised her hand and touched the layer of blue stubble on Lu Tingzhou's chin, then leaned over and kissed him gently.
Just as she was about to retreat, a strong hand appeared on the back of her head, pressing her down with no way to retreat.
Sang Wan was kissed until she couldn't breathe, and then she realized that the man was in control on the mountain.
Seeing the person in his arms gasping for breath, Lu Tingzhou let her go and said, "I'll deal with you later."
"Why wait?"
Sang Wan was puzzled and blurted out.
After saying it, he regretted it, as if he was too impatient.
"Let's replenish our energy first." Lu Tingzhou pinched her cheek, his voice tinged with laughter. "Besides, there's a famous hot spring here. Since we're not planning on leaving tonight, why not go and take a dip?"
Soak in a hot spring?
Sang Wan couldn't help but have some images in his mind. This guy has always been greedy. He might just want to take a simple hot spring bath.
Now I finally understand what he meant by dealing with her later.
Qi Qi didn't want to disturb the two of them and thought of going out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, I met Lin Hao, who was dating his boss.
She looked at the people doing nothing on the side of the road and went up to say hello.
"Assistant Lin, let's have dinner together. We don't have anything to do here anyway."
Lin Hao nodded happily, "I'll treat you."
"Then I'll treat you to a movie."
Lin Hao nodded, "That's a good idea."
The two hit it off immediately.
Sang Wan and Lu Tingzhou were both a little hungry, so they left the room and went to the dining area, where they picked out a few of their favorite side dishes.
After eating, Lu Tingzhou drove Sang Wan to the hot spring villa.
What Sang Wan didn't expect was that this hot spring villa was actually owned by the Lu family. As soon as he arrived, the manager came to greet him.
"Mr. Lu, you haven't been here for a long time. Your room is ready."
Lu Tingzhou took the room card without saying a word and took Sang Wan in directly.
It is said to be a room, but in fact it is just a small courtyard.
The large floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to see the scenery in the courtyard.
Sang Wan was a little stunned, "This room has been empty all this time?"
Lu Tingzhou nodded. "My room is not empty, so why should I give it to someone else?"
"Well, it's great to have money."
Lu Tingzhou smiled and said, "Three years ago, my eldest brother became a monk here. I came here and thought the hot springs were good, so I developed this place."
As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes. Sang Wan's face flushed. Although they had done many intimate things before, they had never taken off their clothes so directly.
She turned her gaze away from him and looked at the courtyard outside the glass. The design was very clever and well-arranged, just like a landscape painting.
Lu Tingzhou saw through her little thoughts, but said nothing until he changed into his swimsuit and approached her from behind.
Sang Wan's back stiffened, and before she could say anything, Lu Tingzhou's deep voice rang in her ear, "I'll help you. The hot springs here contain a variety of minerals, and they've also added a variety of herbs. Soaking in them is good for your health."
Sang Wan grabbed his hand and said, "I'll take it off myself."
"Wan Baoer, you've seen everything, why are you still so shy?"
The calm and peaceful words made Sang Wan blush instantly, "You..."
She bit her lip and smiled, "My face is like a city wall, it gets thicker and thicker as it's built."
"Thank you for the compliment, Wanwan."
Two days of longing and worry turned into the most real touch, making him cherish the person in his arms even more.
At this time, Sang Wan thought of Sun Meixi's words and asked her if she was pregnant.
Sang Wan shuddered instantly, and thinking of Lu Tingzhou's ruthlessness, she immediately gathered her clothes.
"Lu Tingzhou, just enjoy the hot springs. If you want something else, I won't go in."
The words were full of warnings, which made Lu Tingzhou stunned. What happened? The questions had already been answered. He even kissed him in the hotel. Why was he unhappy in such a good atmosphere?
