Xie Laodao and Xie Yuhan boarded a plane back to China.
The moment the plane landed in the East China Sea, Xie Yuhan looked much better.
But Xie Laodao didn't seem particularly happy.
"Grandpa, it feels so good to be back home. I feel much better now. Maybe I was just having trouble adjusting to the new environment."
Master Xie forced a smile; his mind was filled with the letter his master had left behind.
The two rushed back to Qingyun Mountain.
In the study, Xie Laodao picked up the letter his master had left him.
Seeing the two birth dates placed together, he sighed heavily.
“Master, Master, it’s not that I didn’t figure it out, but if it’s like this… Xiaoyu will really suffer too much. I really don’t want her to be a concubine. Xiaoyu is a very pure child. How can she bear it if you arrange it like this? Aren’t you making things difficult for me?”
After sighing, Xie Laodao couldn't help but take the wine to his master's grave.
He started swearing after drinking.
"You old bastard!!! You used to beat me all the time when I was little, and I secretly swore that when I grew up I would kick your ass back. But before I even grew up, you died. You're dead, fine, but why did you have to set up this whole mess? Why did you have to drag me into it? Okay, I can manage to drag me into this, but why did you have to scheme against my granddaughter too? Make her a concubine for your descendants? You old bastard, I really want to dig up your grave!!!"
After finishing his tirade, Xie Laodao knelt down again, and despite being nearly a hundred years old, he started crying like a child.
"Master, is it really impossible to escape? You once changed the fate of your descendants, can you come back alive to teach me? I also want to change the fate of my granddaughter..."
Old Master Xie cried and made a scene at the grave, but eventually he calmed down.
"I really owe your Chen family a lot of money. Fine, whatever fate has in store for me, I accept it. But don't get cocky down there. I'll be down there in a few years, and then I'll settle accounts with you, you old bastard. This time, I'm definitely going to kick your ass!"
After Xie Laodao finished speaking, a sudden clap of thunder sounded in the clear sky.
He spat on the ground.
"Are you angry? Heh, so be it! I'm angry right now too. You can either take me away right now or I'll go down and beat you up."
Another bolt of lightning struck, this time even more fiercely. The lightning struck a nearby tree, snapping it in two and setting it ablaze. The fire spread to the ground, and the weeds growing beside the cemetery were also set ablaze.
Old Master Xie stood still, not even trying to escape.
He took another swig from the wine jug.
"Are you trying to scare me? Hahaha, I've done the math, I'm not going to die anytime soon. You're getting really angry, aren't you? Haha, be careful you don't burn your own house down."
Shortly after the thunder, rain began to fall, extinguishing the fire that had just started on the ground.
Old Master Xie, carrying a wine jug, staggered back, singing as he went, looking exceptionally dashing.
...
Chen Zhe received a call from Xie Laodao.
"If you want to see Xiaoyu, you'd better get back here today."
Although his tone was unfriendly, Chen Zhe was very happy to hear it, and he grabbed Mimi and took a big suck.
"My lucky cat!! Thank you for bringing me good luck!"
...
Under the ginkgo tree.
Xie Yuhan, with her hair in a bun and wearing a plain Taoist robe, sat in her usual spot, holding a calligraphy brush in her hand and taking down a sign from the side.
What should I write?
She looked up and asked with a smile.
The couple exchanged a glance.
"Let's write a vow of eternal love!"
Xie Yuhan nodded and wrote the four characters "永结同心" (May you be forever united) on the wooden sign.
The couple were so happy after receiving it that they ran to the ginkgo tree and hung it up.
Xie Yuhan chewed on her pen, looking at the couples with a hint of envy in her eyes.
Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, she felt a sense of relief. Sometimes, seeing others happy is a kind of enjoyment.
Two magpies flew to the branch and chirped merrily.
Xie Yuhan rested her chin on her hand, looked up at them.
"Even magpies are in pairs... Humph..."
A hand took a sign from beside her and placed it in front of her.
Xie Yuhan was so focused on watching the magpies that she didn't even look at the person, and just casually asked.
What should I write?
Write an apology.
Xie Yuhan froze when the person's voice came out.
Then suddenly my nose felt a little sore, and tears started falling down my face.
When Chen Zhe saw Xie Yuhan crying, he quickly picked up a tissue and handed it to her.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu. I apologize for everything I did before. I really didn't mean to hurt you. I don't expect you to forgive me, but... I really want to be with you."
Xie Yuhan sniffed, feeling extremely wronged. She stood up and looked at Chen Zhe with a pout.
He snorted and ran away.
After seeing her run away, Chen Zhe quickly chased after her.
After the two ran away, two heads suddenly peeked out from a nearby corner.
It's Zhang Kai and A Bao.
Zhang Kai stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "I wonder if President Chen will be able to win over Senior Sister's forgiveness this time?"
Ah Bao chimed in, "I hope he doesn't succeed. If he does, what will happen to my young lady?"
"Tsk! You're so selfish. Get out of here, don't stand with me!"
...
Chen Zhe followed Xie Yuhan to the bamboo forest.
He quickly took a few steps forward and grabbed Xie Yuhan.
"Xiaoyu! Can you give me a chance?"
Chen Zhe asked earnestly.
Xie Yuhan turned her head and looked at him with a pitiful expression.
Chen Zhe took a deep breath, then held up his palm and swore, "Xiaoyu, please give me another chance. I swear this time, if I ever betray you again, may I be struck by lightning..."
Before Chen Zhe could finish speaking, Xie Yuhan reached out and covered his mouth.
"Don't swear!"
Chen Zhe held Xie Yuhan's hand.
"Xiaoyu, I swear, I will never betray you again..."
Xie Yuhan shook her head helplessly.
"it's useless……"
"Xiaoyu, believe me, I really won't do it again, I'm absolutely sure."
"Chen Zhe...you're destined to have many romantic encounters, you can't escape them."
"No, I'm sure I can avoid it. I haven't had a woman by my side since I left Donghai. I mean it. I've always been thinking about you, Xiaoyu. You have to believe me."
Chen Zhe's words only made Xie Yuhan cry even harder.
"You still say you don't have a woman... I've figured it out, you even have a child..."
Chen Zhe was stunned after hearing Xie Yuhan's words, and then he suddenly thought of Hu Ling.
"Xiaoyu, did Hu Ling tell you this? You must not believe it, it's false. I don't have a child at all, she's slandering me."
“She didn’t say anything to me, she never contacted me, I figured it all out myself.”
"This...then you might have miscalculated...I really have given up on flirting. Now when I meet other women, my heart is as still as water, really."
"Chen Zhe, you can't give up on romance. You suppressed it before, but the backlash will be even more ferocious later."
"Impossible!!! Xiaoyu, I know you are very good at divination, but you must have made a mistake this time."
Xie Yuhan shook her head helplessly.
“I’ve calculated it several times, and it’s always been right. I’ve also predicted that you would come to see me today. Not only you, but several other women will also come to see you.”
"Xiaoyu!!!"
Chen Zhe held Xie Yuhan's hand tightly; "Xiaoyu, you've really wronged me. I didn't notify anyone when I came here, so how could anyone come looking for me?"
Chen Zhe was immediately proven wrong after saying that, because he heard someone call his name from behind.
He turned his head and looked.
It was the Zhang sisters, Lin Meiyu, and even Yang Yun.
Zhang Xinrui cried out.
"Am I right? He's here. That Hu Ling deceived us so badly. We absolutely cannot let Chen Zhe leave today."
The others nodded and then ran towards Chen Zhe and the others.
Chen Zhe was startled.
He quickly grabbed Xie Yuhan's hand and started running.
As she ran, Xie Yuhan suddenly stopped.
She grabbed Chen Zhe's hand and shook her head; "Chen Zhe, don't run away, you really can't escape."
Chen Zhe looked at Xie Yuhan with a bitter expression.
"Xiaoyu, I really didn't know they would come..."
“I’ve already figured it out… Chen Zhe, I… I’ll be honest with you, after thinking about it for a while, I’ve come to terms with it…”
"Xiaoyu, no!! I don't want to hear it..."
"I accept your fate of being surrounded by romantic encounters."
"ah????"
Chen Zhe had expected to hear Xie Yuhan reject him, but he never expected her to say those words.
He stared at Xie Yuhan in shock, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.
“I am a Taoist, and I should follow the will of Heaven. It is only natural that fate arranged for us to meet. During the time I was away from you, I felt extremely sad, even more so than when you betrayed me. I really felt like I was about to die. Chen Zhe, I don’t blame you. This is your destiny. I’ve thought about it, and many things are not a matter of whether you accept them or not. If it is destined, you can’t escape it. Since that’s the case, let’s choose to accept it.”
"Little Rain..."
Chen Zhe looked at Xie Yuhan with some heartache, and just as he was about to say something to comfort her, the women arrived in front of him.
Zhang Xinrui was out of breath from running.
"Chen Zhe, why are you running? I almost couldn't catch up with you. I came here to tell you that you've been tricked by Hu Ling!"
"I know……"
I thought she was referring to Mu Wanzhi.
Lin Meiyu was taken aback; "You knew everything?"
"Yes, I know she lied to me."
"So what do we do now? Do you want your children back?"
"Huh? A child? What child?"
Chen Zhe was a little confused.
Seeing that he still didn't fully understand, Lin Meiyu immediately told him everything Hu Ling had done.
“After I returned to Donghai, I discovered Hu Ling’s plan. Two of them have already given birth in the hospital. They are all there. We came to find you to ask you to come over.”
After hearing this, Chen Zhe felt dizzy and almost collapsed to the ground.
Several women quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Chen Zhe looked at their faces and couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
"Is a 'peach blossom fate' really that fierce?"
...
