Chapter 1056: Strong Feelings

Lin Xuanji would never be able to stop worrying about her daughter and son.

Now that she had made sure that everything would be well taken care of, Lin Xuanji placed her arms gracefully on her stomach. She could feel all her remaining energy just draining away, her vision slowly turning blurry, going out of focus.

All the sounds of crying, talking, everything in this world slowly started getting further away from her.

At such a late hour, she went back to the past.

In the temple, there was a swarm of visitors. Dong, dong, dong. The rhythmic sounds of someone knocking the wooden fish[1] was the beginning of a love story.

A charismatic young lady knelt on the round cushion. “May the heavens please bestow me with a husband.”

She held a bamboo lot holder in her hands, shaking it earnestly and a lot dropped out of the holder soon after.

The corresponding lot was written in sanskrit-—Before the two could even erase all feelings for each other, they would have already been split up.

It was a shame they had such strong feelings for each other but their fates had already been decided.

She finally understood it all.

Lin Xuanji gradually closed her eyes, two streams of tears dripping down the corners of her eyes as they seemed to disappear into her hair.

That one scene repeated in her head again. She held the lot paper in her hand, turning around, a bead curtain was lifted up by someone with slender fingers. Back then, he had just stood there, the man blessed by the heavens appeared, his countenance immaculate.

Mr Lu!

It was Mr Lu!

Lin Xuanji slowly raised the corners of her lips, her breathing gradually stilled, then stopped for the last time.

In XX year, Madam Xuanji passed away peacefully with a smile on her face, ending her legacy.

Once the prodigious Lin Xuanji left the world, it started raining heavily outside.

...

On the private jet.

“Sir, here’s your coffee.” Butler Ye handed a cup of hot coffee over.

Lu Jinwen lowered his head to look at the document, when he lifted his hand to take the coffee, he accidentally spilled it. The cup fell on the ground, with the coffee spilling all over and the glass broke.

Just as Lu Jinwen bent over to pick it up, the shards of glass cut his finger, resulting in a wound. Blood rushed out of the wound on his finger.

Furrowing his brows, he had an ominous feeling. For him to see blood, it wasn’t a good sign at all.

“Sir, are you alright? Let me dress your wound.” Butler Ye was worried.

Lu Jinwen stretched his hand over, letting Butler Ye dress his wound while he looked out of the window, filled with a deep sense of melancholy. “Is it raining?”

The fogginess of the smoke blurred Lu Jinwen’s handsome face, he moved his lips and said smilingly, “I heard that Monk Xuanyi could learn of the past and predict the future, I definitely must come and look for you and make good use of your talents. Monk Xuanyi, you shouldn’t hide away such an impressive talent. Show me your skills now. If not, I will do... just anything to you, I haven’t decided what, yet.”

“...”

Monk Xuanyi cursed in his heart, what a scoundrel behind that immaculate facade. He should just continue to eat his chicken in front of this devil.

Ten minutes later, he finished eating the roasted chicken and followed Lu Jinwen out of the rundown temple.

“Benefactor Lu,” Monk Xuanyi suddenly called out.

“What’s the matter?”

“Do you know that... it’s raining?”

Lu Jinwen didn’t say a word, just looking at him as though he was going to stare through his soul.

As the victim of Lu Jinwen’s terrifying gaze, Monk Xuanyi was somewhat shaken. He wouldn’t ever want to have anything to do with people like Lu Jinwen, who could totally dissect him with that one look.

Monk Xuanyi let out a laugh so forcibly. “Benefactor Lu, I’ll just follow you.”

...

Lu Jinwen rushed back after just a day, stepping out of the airport lobby, the limousine sped along the road.

It was raining heavily outside, the rain hadn’t stopped even after an entire night.

“Stop the car,” Lu Jinwen suddenly said.

The luxurious business car slowed to a halt. The car door opened and Lu Jinwen alighted from the limousine. Butler Ye sheltered Lu Jinwen with a black umbrella.

Lu Jinwen walked into a shop, picking up a lollipop.

She loved candy. She would be delighted if he were to give her a lollipop.

Lu Jinwen’s facial features softened, appearing so gentle.

Monk Xuanyi sat in the limousine, looking at the man outside as he let out a sigh, shaking his head sadly. “She’s already gone, why would you still need a lollipop?”

...

After an entire night’s rain, the limousine drove onto the lawn of the manor. The maid opened the doors frantically, Lu Jinwen had finally rushed back home.

“Xuanji...”

He stepped inside, calling her name.

Xuanji...

Xuanji...

His voice reverberated in the entire house, the echo slowly faded but no one answered him after all.
