Ma Yunfei dared not open the door, fearing that Li Sha would run in and get intimate with him.
Ye Ya has a habit of sleeping in late, and she was sleeping soundly at this time. Perhaps Li Sha wanted to take this opportunity to flirt with Ma Yunfei.
"Sasha, I'm not feeling well. Let's talk later."
"Brother Ma, open the door quickly, or I'm going to kick it down!"
Ma Yunfei reluctantly opened the door.
Li Sha looked depressed. As soon as she entered the room, she lay down on Ma Yunfei's bed and sighed, "Last night, I had nightmares all night long. Now my head is spinning. I... I have a feeling that things won't end well with Wang Xiaobian."
"Sasha, what did you dream about?"
Li Sha recounted her dream from last night and asked, "Brother Ma, do you think this dream means that Wang Xiaobian and I are going to break up?"
"Hehe... Dreams don't tell the whole story. Maybe your dream is the opposite of reality, meaning that Wang Xiaobian's parents will definitely agree to their son marrying you. I think you shouldn't worry so much."
“Brother Ma, my dreams are usually very accurate. I think this dream is very strange. I think my marriage with Wang Xiaobian will definitely encounter unexpected complications.”
“Sasa, we’ll deal with whatever comes our way. I believe that with our combined wisdom, we can definitely handle Wang Xiaobian’s family.”
Just then, the waiter shouted loudly in the corridor, "Li Sha, go to the service desk on the first floor to answer the phone."
Li Sha's expression changed drastically, and she said in a panic, "Brother Ma, I'm afraid this is bad. Wang Xiaobian calling me so early can't be anything good."
"Sasha, calm down and answer the phone quickly. Remember: ask Wang Xiaobian for his birth date and time, and also ask which temple his mother likes to visit to burn incense."
Li Sha went downstairs with a pounding heart.
"Ms. Li, I'm sorry, you must not be up yet, right? Please forgive my abruptness in calling you so early."
"Brother Wang, what urgent matter do you need me for?"
"Miss Li, it's like this, today my mother is going to the temple, and she asked me to ask for your birth date and time."
“Brother Wang, I don’t know my birth time. I have to go back to Qinglong Town to ask my father. I’ll call you when I find out. Also, tell me your birth date and time. My dad is very superstitious, just like your mom. He’s always said that a couple’s birth dates and times have to match, otherwise, they won’t last long together.”
Wang Xiaobian casually told Li Sha his birth date and time.
Li Sha then asked, "Which temple does your mother like to visit most to burn incense?"
“My mother goes to Baoguang Temple to burn incense every month.”
After clarifying the two questions, Li Sha said, "Brother Wang, please explain to Auntie that I'm going back to Qinglong Town tomorrow. Once I find out my birth time, I'll call you."
Wang Xiaobian invited, "Miss Li, do you have time today? Could you accompany my mother to Baoguang Temple?"
Li Sha felt a little guilty. She couldn't figure out why Wang Xiaobian's mother wanted her to accompany her to Baoguang Temple, so she politely declined, saying, "Brother Wang, a relative of mine invited me to lunch today, and I've already agreed. It wouldn't be good if I broke my promise. Please explain to her that I'm really sorry. Tell her that I'm a person who keeps my promises; if I promise someone, I won't break my word."
"Oh, never mind then, I'll talk to my mom."
After hanging up the phone, Li Sha went to Ma Yunfei's room and told him about the conversation.
"Brother Ma, you said Wang Xiaobian's mother is going to Baoguang Temple to burn incense today, why do you want me to go with her?"
Ma Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "There are only two possible meanings. The first is that she wants to get to know you better and spend more time with you. The second is that she might want a monk to tell your fortune."
Li Sha shuddered in fright and said in a panic, "Brother Ma, what if the monk looks at my face and says I'm unlucky?"
Ma Yunfei glanced at Li Sha's face and said with deep doubt, "I think it's highly likely that Wang Xiaobian's mother had a monk read your fortune. But... this is a very unpredictable thing. If the monk says something unlucky, Wang Xiaobian's mother will break up your marriage. I know that wealthy families are very particular about things like feng shui."
"Brother Ma, what... what should we do?"
“Li Sha, I think there’s only one way: go to Baoguang Temple and have a monk read your fortune. Listen to what he says. If he says something good, then that’s fine. If he says something bad, then we’ll have to think of another way.”
"Brother Ma, is there any way you can come up with?"
Ma Yunfei thought: There is only one way, and that is to bribe the monk and make him say nice things against his will.
However, whether the monks would accept bribes is unknown.
Ma Yunfei wonders if the monks of 1990 will be just like ordinary people in 2020, also focused on money.
If you're after money, things are easy. Just slip the monk some money, and he'll put in a good word for Li Sha.
"Sasha, let's talk about it later. There's always a way out."
"Brother Ma, when are you going to take me to Baoguang Temple so the monks can tell my fortune?"
"Let's not delay, shall we go tomorrow? Perfect timing, let the monks read my and Ye Ya's fortunes too. Although I'm not superstitious, I'd like to hear how accurate these monks are, just for fun."
“Brother Ma, I feel like you are a mountain to me. I feel very safe and secure leaning against you.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Yunfei thought to himself: Do you really want to rely on me for the rest of your life?
"Brother Ma, I...I've decided to become your lover."
Ma Yunfei was startled and quickly said, "Sasha, don't talk nonsense. I'm an upright man and I wouldn't have a mistress."
“Brother Ma, this is not up to you. You know me. Once I decide to do something, I will see it through to the end. I will stop at nothing, at any cost, even if it means risking my life.”
Li Sha's face contorted into a ferocious expression, which chilled Ma Yunfei to the bone.
Li Sha is a very vicious woman. Once she sets her mind on something, she will go all the way down that path.
Ma Yunfei needed Li Sha's assistance, and besides, he didn't want to offend this woman, so he said evasively, "Shasha, I hope you can understand me and not force me too much. You should know: if I were to become your lover against my will, I wouldn't give my feelings. Do you think it's meaningful to be one-sided?"
"Brother Ma, you'll like me? You're a man too, and men like beautiful women. I'm confident in my looks. Besides, men like women with a sense of fun, and I'm that kind of woman."
Ma Yunfei had to admit: Li Sha is indeed quite charming.
“Sasha, everything should be left to its own devices. I think you understand this principle. I feel that it would be perfect if we were siblings.”
