Cheng Jiang pinched Lin Xiaomi's nose before continuing, "I was nearly born. After finally reaching one year old, I was always weak and sickly, and I was on the verge of life and death several times. So my grandmother took me to Ling City to see Master Yang for a fortune-telling."
"Master Yang said that my soul was incomplete and that I was doomed to be plagued by disasters and not live past the age of nineteen. My grandmother was very anxious when she heard what Master Yang said. She kept begging him and gave him a lot of money. Master Yang then told my grandmother that there was only one solution, and that was to find a girl who was born with good fortune. If I stayed with this girl often, she would help me ward off disasters and help me survive until I turned nineteen."
Cheng Jiang glanced down at Lin Mier and said, "Do you think it's ridiculous? When I first heard my parents say that, I thought it was ridiculous too. But grandma did lead me to find Mu Cheng under the guidance of Master Yang, and they gave me several examples to prove that Mu Cheng did help me avoid disaster and let me survive."
Lin Mi'er's face sank. She pulled her hand back and asked in a cold tone, "So you can't live without her for the rest of your life, and I can only be your mistress?"
"No." Cheng Jiang hugged Lin Mi'er back into his arms and explained softly, "When I was six years old, Master Yang was invited to our home. Mu Cheng was also there. When Master Yang saw Mu Cheng, he immediately drew a talisman for Grandma and told her that I would be able to transcend the tribulation of life and death on the day I turned nineteen. If I drank the talisman water and consummated my marriage with Mu Cheng that day, not only would I survive, but I would also receive all of her blessings. No matter what I did in the future, I would be able to succeed smoothly and even become a superior person."
Lin Mier didn't say anything. It was obvious that she didn't believe that such a thing existed in the world.
In fact, not to mention Lin Mier, even the eight people in the repair workshop couldn't believe what Cheng Jiang said at this moment. Drinking the talisman water and consummating the marriage with someone can change one's fate and gain other people's blessings. Such words sounded like nonsense to mislead people.
Cheng Jiang continued, "My dad said that when grandma told him this at first, he didn't quite believe it. But after asking someone to investigate, he was convinced. This Master Yang is indeed very capable. He specializes in changing people's fates, and everyone whose fate he changed lives a happy life."
"Mi'er, will you be obedient? Wait one more year. When I turn nineteen, when I succeed in changing my fate, I will definitely dump her and marry you. We'll be together forever."
Lin Mier was silent for a long time before she said, "Brother Jiang, you are not deliberately using this excuse to lie to me just to stop me from getting entangled with you!"
Cheng Jiang swore solemnly, "What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever lied to you?"
Lin Mier thought for a long time before she said, "Really? Only one more year to wait?"
Cheng Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, just one year."
Lin Mi'er was silent for a long time before she nodded and said delicately, "Okay! I'll give you another year. If you still refuse to break up your engagement with Mu Cheng after a year, the three of us will perish together."
"No, baby, I love you so much, how could I bear to leave you? But can you please be a good boy from now on? Don't bother Mu Cheng anymore, and don't get too close to me. Mu Cheng is completely ignoring me now, and she's even proposed to break off the engagement. If we keep getting involved, she might really leave. If something happens to me then, you'll be left as a widow."
