"If Luo Luo likes them, buy them all." Mo Beichen took Yun Qingluo's hand and looked at her with doting eyes.
Yun Qingluo glanced at the money bag in his hand, "Let's walk a little further and take a look."
Aside from that sentence, she didn't say anything else. She took his hand and walked forward, looking at the various lanterns with curiosity along the way.
Mo Beichen glanced at Yun Qingluo, picked out a small lantern for her, paid for it, and then asked leisurely, "Luoluo, don't you think I'm stingy?"
Yun Qingluo shifted her gaze from the lantern in her hand to Mo Beichen's face and said gently, "Some people, if you give them what you shouldn't, it will only bring them trouble and misfortune. What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force."
Mo Beichen lowered his eyes, silently recited the sentence in his heart, gazed at Yun Qingluo's beautiful face, and asked, "What if I insist on forcing it?"
Yun Qingluo curled the corners of her lips, "Then I'll force it with you. Life is like that. They say forced love is never sweet, but how do you know it won't be sweet if you don't force it?"
Mo Beichen's eyes flickered. He took Yun Qingluo's hand and led her to a secluded spot. He summoned a guard, emptied the money from his purse, handed it to the guard, and instructed, "Take this silver to the old man. Do you understand what to say?"
The guard nodded silently, accepted the silver with both hands, and left.
Yun Qinglu lowered her eyes and chuckled softly.
Mo Beichen tightened his grip on Yun Qingluo's hand and turned to look at her. "What are you laughing at, Luoluo?"
Yun Qingluo raised her head, her gaze fixed on Mo Beichen, her eyes sparkling like stars in the sky, captivating all who beheld her.
"Ah Chen, you were deliberately so fierce to the stall owner just now because you were afraid of causing him any unnecessary trouble, right? My Ah Chen, you've always been so kind." Yun Qingluo leaned closer to Mo Beichen and whispered.
After saying that, she smiled brightly and said, "Ah Chen, I want to release river lanterns and make a wish. Come with me."
Seeing that Yun Qingluo had changed the subject, Mo Beichen stopped insisting and replied with a doting "okay".
When we arrived at the place where the river lanterns were being released, there were already many vendors selling them along the roadside.
Many people were gathered by the river, all making sincere wishes.
Yun Qingluo walked up to a stall and stared at the lotus lanterns inside, lost in thought.
In my past life, I lived in an orphanage. Whenever a child died, the director would take them to the river behind the orphanage to release lotus lanterns, saying that he hoped the deceased would rest in peace and be reborn like a lotus flower that rises from the mud unsullied, pure and untainted, with a smooth and successful life.
"Young master, buy a lantern for your wife. It's very effective to release lanterns into this river and make wishes. Last year, a young master bought a lantern from me and wished for a son soon. Not long after, his wife became pregnant and gave birth to twins," the stall owner said happily.
Mo Beichen hadn't originally planned to buy anything, but upon hearing the stall owner's words, he walked over, nodded, and took out a small piece of silver from his pocket, handing it to the stall owner.
This is one of the ones I left when I took it out of the silver bag.
Mo Beichen stood beside Yun Qingluo and asked in a low voice, "What does Luoluo like?"
The stall owner, an honest man, waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Young master, this is too much money. My lotus lanterns are only five coins each. I don't have change."
Mo Beichen glanced around at the stalls and said nonchalantly, "It's fine, just consider it as adding to the festive atmosphere."
"Oh, young master, you're such a generous man. No wonder your wife is so beautiful. Thank you so much, young master. Madam, please take whatever you like." The stall owner greeted Yun Qingluo with a beaming smile.
Yun Qingluo looked around and finally chose three lanterns. When she turned around, she saw Mo Beichen standing next to her watching her choose the lanterns.
"Ah Chen, don't you want to make a wish on the lantern?" Yun Qingluo asked, puzzled.
Mo Beichen shook his head, his eyes softening with tenderness. "Everything I've ever wanted is already by my side. With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for? I have no other desires."
All he ever wanted in his life was her, and now that she was by his side, he truly had no more desires.
As for Luo Luo's illness...
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo smiled gently and asked Mo Beichen to help her get two lamps. She took one for herself, and the two of them went to the riverbank.
Yun Qingluo squatted down, placed a lotus lantern in the river, fiddled with it for a few moments, watched the lantern float away, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and made a wish.
She doesn't believe in gods, but she's willing to believe for their sake.
Believe and firmly believe.
After making her first wish, Yun Qingluo took two lamps from Mo Beichen and placed them in the water, making her wish again.
After making a wish, I watched as the three river lanterns flowed down the river, merging into the sea of lotus lanterns, and together they drifted towards the unknown distance.
The river surface was bathed in the light of candles, which was quite beautiful. Perhaps even the legendary Milky Way was not this dazzling?
Yun Qingluo snapped out of her daze and stood up, but because her legs were a little numb from squatting, she suddenly lost her strength and fell forward. Mo Beichen's eyes narrowed, and he quickly took a few steps forward and reached out to pull her into his arms.
He asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Yun Qinglu shook her head. "It's nothing, I just squatted for a while and my legs went numb."
When Mo Beichen heard that Yun Qingluo's legs were numb, he immediately picked her up in a princess carry. Yun Qingluo exclaimed softly, "There are too many people here, Achen, this is not good."
Many people around looked over, the women's eyes filled with envy, while the men were somewhat intimidated by Mo Beichen's imposing aura.
The crowd automatically parted to make way, and Mo Beichen carried Yun Qingluo back, his steps steady.
Yun Qingluo wrapped her arms around Mo Beichen's neck. Because of the veil, she couldn't lean against Mo Beichen's chest, which made her a little unhappy.
As if sensing his presence, Mo Beichen looked down and asked, "Unhappy? Are you feeling unwell? Hang in there, we'll be home soon."
Mo Beichen quickened his pace as he spoke.
Yun Qingluo slowly shook her head, saying with a hint of resentment, "No, I can't be happy leaning against you."
After saying that, I felt like I was being a bit pretentious, and I frowned slightly.
Perhaps it was because of the appearance of the woman in pink earlier, but she became somewhat irrational and just wanted to stick to Mo Beichen.
Xiao Yi said softly, "It's rare to see this side of you as a little woman. It's not easy. You really need a rival to stimulate your inner potential."
Yun Qingluo stubbornly denied it, "No, I just felt that the woman in pink was a bit out of place, so I suspected her, not because I was jealous."
Xiao Yi: "Yeah, yeah, you're not jealous, you're not."
Ignoring the sarcastic tone, Yun Qingluo said to Mo Beichen, "Achen, my legs aren't numb anymore. Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Mo Beichen didn't say anything and continued to carry Yun Qingluo back.
Yun Qingluo tugged at Mo Beichen's clothes, "A-Chen?"
Mo Beichen lowered his head, seeing Yun Qingluo's insistence, and said sternly, "Shouldn't Luoluo show some appreciation?"
