Jiang Yue looked at Shen Huaiyuan, who was so excited he almost jumped up, and explained to him, "Uncle, please calm down, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Huaiyuan interrupted her, "I can't calm down. You're pregnant with twins and you still went to F City to cause trouble. What will your uncle do if something happens to you?"
Not to mention that his sister and family won't let him off the hook, he himself won't forgive himself either.
Jiang Yue knew this would happen, which is why she didn't dare to tell Shen Huaiyuan the truth at first.
"Uncle, there won't be any surprises. Even if I don't go with you this time, I will definitely go on my own for the sake of the baby in my belly and Lu Jingnian."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, seeing that Shen Huaiyuan was still very agitated, she dropped a bombshell: "Because if I don't go, both I and the baby in my belly may die."
Sure enough, Shen Huaiyuan calmed down instantly upon hearing this.
What do you mean by that?
Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Jiang Yue told him what had happened.
However, he didn't mention that he had given Lu Jingnian half of his lifespan. He only said that Lu Jingnian's mission was a life-threatening ordeal for him, and that he had to go to Pudu Temple in F City to pray for his survival.
And there's also the matter of the child in her belly.
After hearing this, Shen Huaiyuan was completely stunned.
He pointed at Jiang Yue, stammering for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
"Uncle, I know it was wrong of me to keep such a big thing from you."
But this is all I can do.
Jiang Yue felt guilty. "If I hadn't been pregnant and had known all this, I definitely wouldn't have risked keeping these two children. But now I am pregnant."
She touched her belly, her eyes red as she looked at Shen Huaiyuan, "And it's two children. Just thinking about how they'll grow up healthy and chubby and call me 'Mom' makes me determined that no matter how dangerous it is, I can't give them up."
"you……"
Shen Huaiyuan looked at her and forcefully shook off the hand that was pointing at Jiang Yue. "Does Lu Jingnian know what you've done?"
Jiang Yue shook her head. "He doesn't know, and he can't know. Even if he doesn't tell me, I know. His mission this time is very dangerous, and I can't let him be distracted by me, so I didn't tell him anything."
After saying that, Jiang Yue looked pitifully at Shen Huaiyuan with red eyes, "Uncle, I've only told you this besides my master. Please, please don't tell my family before I come back from F City. I'm afraid my mom and the others will worry."
"You knew they would be worried?"
Chen Huaiyuan was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode, but he was more worried about Jiang Yue.
Do you know what Pudu Temple in F City is?
It's built on a snow-capped mountain. Have you asked how far it is from the foot of the mountain to the summit?
Jiang Yue nodded. "My master told me."
Although she had never been to F City, she had read about Pudu Temple online before and knew that this was not an easy thing to do.
But if it were too easy, her master wouldn't have let her come.
"Did your master tell you that every year there are many people who go to Pudu Temple to ask the monks there to perform rituals, but very few actually make it up the mountain by bowing and kowtowing all the way up? Some people collapse on the roadside because of altitude sickness halfway up."
"Even ordinary people can't get up there, so how do you think you, a pregnant woman carrying two children, can manage to get up there?"
Why did your master insist you go to Pudu Temple? Didn't you ask him if you could go somewhere else?
Shen Huaiyuan was genuinely worried about Jiang Yue; he was so anxious that sweat started to bead on his forehead.
"How about this, we get off at the next stop, go back to City A, and ask your master if there's any other way?"
Jiang Yue shook her head. "If there were any other way, Master wouldn't have sent me to Pudu Temple."
Old Chen loved her very much, and if there were any other way, he would never have let her take this risk.
"Uncle, no matter what, whether it's for Lu Jingnian, for the baby in my belly, or for myself, I'm going to try."
In the end, Shen Huaiyuan had no choice but to accept that Jiang Yue had to go to Pudu Temple.
Jiang Yue is right. Old Man Chen is her master. If Old Man Chen had other ideas, he certainly wouldn't have let Jiang Yue take this risk.
The train clattered along the tracks.
Seeing that Shen Huaiyuan had accepted reality, Jiang Yue didn't dare to say anything more. She drank a few sips of water and then lay down on the bed to read.
As Jiang Yue read, she thought about Lu Jingnian, wondering how he was doing now.
Did you encounter any danger?
Lost in thought, Jiang Yue, holding the book in her hand, unknowingly fell asleep.
Jiang Yue had a dream in which she saw herself standing at the gate of the Jiang family home, holding a child's hand in one hand, watching a green pickup truck parked in front of the Jiang family home.
Lu Jingnian got out of the car, his body stained with blood, and walked towards them with a smile. With each step he took, Jiang Yue saw a pool of blood left at his feet.
The blood was increasing...
Before Lu Jingnian could even reach her and the child, his body suddenly became transparent and quickly disappeared.
Only a long trail of blood remained...
"Lu Jingnian!"
Jiang Yue suddenly opened her eyes and realized that she was still on the train.
"It was all a dream!"
Jiang Yue clutched her chest and sat up from her bunk, only to realize that it was already dark outside.
However, the moon was very bright tonight. Looking at the night view rushing past the train window, Jiang Yue took a while to calm down.
Lu Jingnian will be fine, he will definitely be fine.
