Chapter 299 Praying for Blessings
The temple was filled with the smoke of burning incense, giving it a mysterious and solemn feel.
People came in an endless stream to pray for blessings, some whispering prayers, others kowtowing devoutly.
Gu Tingyu and Li Yan entered the temple and felt the peaceful and serene atmosphere.
They first bowed respectfully before the Buddha statue, and then went to draw lots.
Long queues formed at the fortune-telling area, with people waiting with reverence.
Gu Tingyu and Li Yan also patiently waited in line.
Finally, it was Li Yan's turn to draw a fortune stick. She closed her eyes and silently prayed for her family's safety and happiness.
Then, she gently shook the container, and a stick slowly fell out.
Just then, the abbot walked over from the side. He was wearing a monk's robe and had a peaceful yet profound gaze.
The abbot picked up the fortune slip that Li Yan had drawn, looked at it, and then smiled and said to Li Yan, "Female benefactor, this humble monk gives you a piece of advice: When fate brings things together and things fall apart, there will eventually be a reunion."
His voice was deep and calm, like the tolling of a temple bell, echoing in Li Yan's heart.
Li Yan was startled when she heard this.
The abbot seemed to have seen through her origins and knew the secret of her rebirth.
The fortune slip they drew also foreshadowed that their family would one day truly reunite.
Thinking of this, Li Yan felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart, and she immediately felt much more relaxed.
Her face beamed with joy, and her eyes sparkled with hope.
"Thank you, Abbot. Your words have put my mind at ease." Li Yan respectfully thanked the Abbot.
Li Yan was in a good mood after returning from the temple.
The next day, feeling a bit bored, she decided to go out for a cup of coffee.
She arrived at an elegantly decorated coffee shop, filled with the rich aroma of coffee.
The soft music flowed through the air, making people feel exceptionally relaxed.
Li Yan found a seat by the window and ordered a latte.
As she was enjoying her delicious coffee, she suddenly saw a familiar figure walk in.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xie Changyan.
Xie Changyan was wearing a casual suit today, his hair was a little messy, but he had a kind of casual handsomeness.
When Li Yan saw Xie Changyan, she no longer felt the familiar warmth she had when meeting an acquaintance.
After all, Xie Changyan wasn't her husband.
In her heart, she only had one husband, and that was the one who looked exactly like Gu Yujing.
So she simply greeted Xie Changyan as if he were an ordinary friend.
“Mr. Xie, what a coincidence,” Li Yan said with a smile.
Her smile was polite, but not very enthusiastic.
When Xie Changyan saw Li Yan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He originally just wanted to find a random place to have a cup of coffee, but he didn't expect to run into Li Yan here.
"Miss Li Yan, what a coincidence. Are you alone?"
As Xie Changyan spoke, he walked to Li Yan's table.
Li Yan nodded: "Yeah, I came out to have a coffee by myself."
Her eyes were calm, without much fluctuation.
Xie Changyan smiled and said, "May I sit here?"
He pointed to the seat opposite Li Yan.
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sure."
Her tone was very calm, as if she were talking to an ordinary friend.
Xie Changyan sat opposite Li Yan, his gaze involuntarily falling on her, his eyes revealing an undisguised emotion.
He did indeed have a deep affection for Li Yan, like a tenacious seed that had taken root and sprouted in his heart, and it would not be easy to uproot it.
