The old man wasn’t finished. He further added: "Has little regard for wealth, makes and loses money quickly. Not good at managing finances. Brilliant with ideas and quick responses, but not good at taking care of children. Will have good fortunes in later life. May have 2-3 children who are outstandingly talented, famous, and intelligent."
You could say he was showering her with compliments.
Lu Nanchen, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly butted in. "Boy or girl?" He asked.
The old man was taken aback, stroking his beard before beginning to calculate with his fingers.
He looked every bit the charlatan.
"A boy, he would be your..."
"Okay, thank you."
The old man began to elaborate, but Nanchen forcefully interrupted him. Even though his expression remained unchanged, his actions and words clearly conveyed his genuine and simple feelings.
It was hilarious. He just didn’t want to hear it.
...
...
...
"What’s the likelihood that you are wrong?" Nanchen asked unexpectedly.
The old man: ?
"About twenty percent, after all, things mostly depend on personal effort and external factors. It’s just for reference."
"So low?"
The old man: ?
...
Seeing this scene, Yu Ting smirked knowingly at Nanchen. She subconsciously touched her stomach, then got up to leave. "Ok, let’s go and see other places."
"Alright, I wanted to leave already."
Nanchen readily agreed, taking Yu Ting’s hand and leading her away.
The surrounding spectators weren’t too bothered by Yu Ting and Nanchen’s arrival. After they left, the crowd gathered together again, each eagerly asking the old man to predict their fortunes and read their faces.
Not long after, the sound of men’s curses rang out near the stall again.
The old man had once again offended someone.
"What the hell are you talking about? I think you’re becoming senile."
"I’ll let it go, consider it as money spent on a lesson."
...
Shortly after Yu Ting and Nanchen left, they saw a similar stall at the other end of the street displaying various luck charms, peace charms, and a Luck Bracelet.
Seeing the distinguished Yu Ting and Nanchen passing by, the stall owner enthusiastically called out: "Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! Come and have your fortune told, we can predict your marital fate!"
The slightly sharp male voice quickly attracted Yu Ting’s attention, and she stopped beside the stall.
The shopkeeper was a man in his fifties with a thin and somewhat long face, giving him a somewhat cunning look. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Yu Ting: ...?
"Let’s hear about our marital fortune then." Upon hearing the words ’marital fate’, Nanchen raised his eyebrows slightly, signifying his interest, and handed over 20 yuan before sitting down.
Seeing that Yu Ting and Nanchen were interested, the man laughed joyously and began to read Nanchen’s face and palms sincerely, writing down the characters on a piece of white paper.
Then the man stroked his stubbled chin and his expression turned serious. "You, born on the Day of Wu Zi, are meticulous and thoughtful, good at taking care of others. But your overall view isn’t clear, somewhat stingy, lack the spirit of flexibility, a bit naggy. The two of you will bring misfortune to your family and offspring with your six-metal clash."
The man’s face grew grimmer as he spoke.
