In no time, they had filled a large bag with things.
Yun Nuan, in particular, carried an extravagant amount of stuff; she practically carried several cows on her back.
Bai Xi, "..."
"Um... these tables, chairs, and TV all belong to the landlord, you don't need to bring them with you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Nuan's face fell.
"Then what will we use in the Taoist temple?"
She knew that the Taoist temple was very dilapidated, without even a decent chair.
"Don't worry, I will buy all the furniture later."
"That's good." Yun Nuan was relieved.
He quickly put the things behind him back in their original positions.
She didn't have much luggage, so Bai Xi called a car by herself.
After a three-hour ride, they arrived at their destination.
Yun Nuan couldn't wait to push open the gate of the Taoist temple.
Suddenly, a snapping sound.
The door panel collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Yun Nuan, "..."
Lin Xinxi, "..."
Bai Xi, "..."
He coughed and said, "Never mind, never mind, it's going to be repaired again anyway."
Yun Nuan arrived at her second bedroom and looked at the simple environment inside, where there was nothing she needed.
She took a deep breath.
If she had to choose again, given the choice between a Taoist temple with spiritual energy and a fully furnished rental apartment, she would rather choose the rental apartment.
...
Ever since Chi Qiangwei had her fortune told by Bai Xi, she has been feeling restless.
Her mind was filled with images of Xu An betraying her.
She returned to the hospital, but Wan Rou was still there.
She saw Wan Rou sitting on the edge of the bed, chatting happily with Xu An.
She began to feel uncomfortable.
Is Wan Rou really Xu An's sister?
Why do the two of them look so close?
At this moment, Xu An turned to look outside the door and paused.
Wan Rou noticed Xu An's unusual behavior, followed his gaze, and then saw Chi Qiangwei standing at the door.
She felt a pang of panic. How long had she been standing there? Had she noticed anything? Her interaction with Xu An had seemed normal enough.
Xu An was also thinking the same things Wan Rou was thinking. How much had Chi Qiangwei actually seen, and how long had she been standing outside the door?
Chi Qiangwei had witnessed the two seemingly calm but actually panicked scene.
She suppressed her discomfort and walked in with a smile, saying, "Xu An, you look much better today."
Seeing her smile, Xu An felt much more at ease and smiled back, saying, "Yes, the doctor said I'm doing well today. Perhaps a miracle really will happen."
"But you, Rose, you've hardly come to see me lately." He said, his tone tinged with complaint, but mostly with grievance.
Chi Qiangwei said gently, "I'm sorry, Xu An, I've been too busy lately. My agent has taken on a lot of gigs for me, and I also have a new movie that's about to start filming."
"A new movie?" Wan Rou's eyes lit up. "Sister Qiangwei, you're making another movie?"
Chi Qiangwei nodded, "Mm."
"That's great! Sister Rose, can you take me to your film set later?"
Wan Rou also dreamed of becoming a star. Every time she saw Chi Qiangwei in the spotlight on TV, she felt both envious and jealous.
If she could stand on that platform one day, would Xu An give her a second glance?
“Sure,” Chi Qiangwei said with a smile.
Looking at Wan Rou, who was dreaming of becoming an actress, she felt that she was overthinking things.
The other girlfriend that Master Baixi mentioned for Xu An might not be her.
Wan Rou held Chi Qiangwei's hand and said, "Thank you, Sister Qiangwei."
"You're welcome, we're all family."
"Mm." Wan Rou nodded.
Chi Qiangwei turned to look at Xu An sitting on the bed. She walked over, took his hand, and said, "Xu An, can I treat you to a meal?"
Xu An was taken aback, somewhat confused by her words. Didn't they often eat together?
Chi Qiangwei: "Tomorrow is my birthday, have you forgotten? I want to celebrate with you."
Seeing that he had been in good health these past few days, she wanted to take this opportunity to invite him out.
She may not have much time left to spend with him.
Xu An concealed his guilt and laughed, "How could I forget?"
Chi Qiangwei: "So you agree?"
"Mm." Xu An nodded.
He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Chi Qiangwei was acting a little strange today.
Hearing Chi Qiangwei's words, Wan Rou immediately exclaimed, "Sister Qiangwei, are you treating my brother to dinner? Can I come along too?"
Chi Qiangwei never refused her before, but this time she did.
"I'm sorry, Xiaorou, this time I just want to go out to eat with Xu An."
Wan Rou paused upon hearing this, her face showing some unease.
Perhaps it was because it was the first time Chi Qiangwei had rejected him.
She suppressed her dissatisfaction.
"I see. Sister Rose wants to enjoy some time alone with her brother. I shouldn't disturb them."
"Sister Rose, I wish you a happy birthday in advance." She gave a fake smile.
Chi Qiangwei smiled and said, "Thank you."
After she went outside, she picked up her phone and made a call to her agent.
When her agent heard that she wanted to take Xu An out to dinner, he immediately stopped her.
"Rose, the paparazzi will find out if you keep doing this. Also, try to visit him at the hospital less often these days. You're about to film a new movie, and there's a lot of public attention on you. The paparazzi might notice you going to this hospital so frequently."
Chi Qiangwei: "Sister Luo, I know, I'll be careful."
"What's the use of being careful? Last time you were with Xu An, you almost got caught by the paparazzi, have you forgotten?"
Chi Qiangwei remained silent.
"Actually, I really wanted to announce our relationship, but he didn't agree."
The agent said, "Chi Qiangwei, what's so great about Xu An? Is he worth all this for? You've practically retired for him in the past year or two. If you hadn't almost spent all your money on him, you wouldn't have come back to make movies, would you?"
Chi Qiangwei remained silent after her agent saw through her thoughts at a glance.
The agent said, "Rose, listen to my advice. Xu An is not the right man for you, especially since he's sickly and could die at any time..."
She didn't finish her sentence; even over the phone, she could clearly sense Chi Qiangwei's anger.
"Anyway, I don't think Xu An is the right person for you. He's probably up to no good."
Chi Qiangwei flatly refused, "Impossible."
The agent gave up, saying, "Whatever. You'll suffer a great loss from Xu An sooner or later. It's better for women not to be too love-struck."
Chi Qiangwei said, "You don't understand, Sister Luo, how long I've liked him."
She has already suffered seven lifetimes of pain, and no longer cares about this one.
She and Xu An had been through nine lifetimes; she couldn't believe their love was only destined for one lifetime.
The agent sighed, not understanding why Chi Qiangwei had such deep feelings for Xu An.
In a society where emotions are almost nonexistent, is there anyone willing to give so much to someone without complaint or regret?
