Wrong marriage! The black-bellied uncle wants a legitimate status every day

Early in the morning, Lin Mingmo was awakened by a short and loud ringing of the phone.

She remembered that today was a holiday. She had clearly turned off the alarm last night, so why was it still ringing...

In a daze, Lin Mingmo grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table, forced one eye open, and tried to turn off the alarm completely.

Suddenly, she was completely awake.

It's not an alarm, it's a to-do list.

It clearly displayed [Sheng Yuan’s birthday!!!]

The three exclamation marks were like three hammers hitting Lin Mingmo's chaotic thoughts.

Lin Mingmo remembered that the love guidebook said that one should spend a meaningful birthday with the other person.

It was at that time that she asked about Sheng Yuan's birthday and solemnly wrote it down in her to-do list, thinking of giving Sheng Yuan a special birthday.

After all, it was less than two months away from Sheng Yuan's birthday, and none of them had expected that this fragile relationship would not even last two months.

The boomerang from the past hit her right between the eyebrows.

I seemed to hear Sheng Yuan's whisper again: I'm starting to look forward to your birthday surprise...

Lin Mingmo rubbed her eyebrows and got up.

Mo Zheng has been looking worried since yesterday afternoon. He has no interest in anything and doesn't even want to talk to Lin Mingmo.

Lin Mingmo walked out of the room and saw that Mo Zheng had also woken up. She tried to force out a lively smile and greeted him warmly, "Brother, good morning."

"Good morning." Mo Zheng's eyes were hazy and he yawned. "What do you want to eat? I don't have work today. Where do you want to go?"

Lin Mingmo was stunned for a few seconds, then walked over to sit next to Mo Zheng, smiled bitterly, and said, "You don't need to accompany me. You have your own things to do."

"I don't have anything to worry about..." Mo Zheng rested his elbows on the armrest of the sofa, clenched his fists and supported his cheeks, mumbling with his eyes closed, "Right now... nothing is more important than yours..."

As he said this, he yawned again.

The long-term reversal of day and night has made him unsuitable for the normal routine.

Lin Mingmo smiled helplessly. After a frantic struggle in her heart, she tentatively asked, "It seems like today is Sheng Yuan's birthday. Aren't you good friends going to get together to celebrate with him?"

"He never celebrates his birthday." Mo Zheng said lazily, "Some of our friends have organized birthday parties for him before, but he never appreciated it."

Lin Mingmo raised her eyebrows and her eyes darkened.

It turned out that Sheng Yuan did not lie at that time.

Mo Zheng regained some consciousness. He frowned and questioned Lin Mingmo, "Why are you asking about this? Didn't you break up with him? Why do you care about him so much?"

"I..." Lin Mingmo was speechless for a moment and couldn't find a reasonable excuse.

"Alright." Mo Zheng didn't really care. "Let's think about where to go today. After breakfast, we'll leave!"

Lin Mingmo breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this matter kept lingering in her mind, making her uneasy all day long.

She couldn't think of where to go.

Fortunately, after breakfast, Mo Zheng received a call and came to apologize to her with a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry, Xiaomo, the old man has something urgent to talk to me about, so I can't accompany you today."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Lin Mingmo asked casually. She seemed concerned, but she was actually relieved.

"Nothing... nothing." Mo Zheng left in a hurry without any explanation.

After Lin Mingmo watched Mo Zheng leave, she left the house herself shortly afterwards.

She didn't know where to go, and was always thinking about the look in Sheng Yuan's eyes that lit up in an instant when she casually suggested giving him a birthday present in the store that day.

I never celebrate my birthday, probably because no one takes it seriously.

Lin Mingmo felt the same way.

Her birthday is close to Lin Xingxi's, so in order to save trouble, Lin Lidong and Yao Yuhui always have them hold birthday parties together.

Also, because Lin Xingxi is more cheerful and outgoing than her, she always steals the show in front of the guests, making her look like a supporting role.

So it seems that Lin Mingmo has never celebrated her birthday.

After thinking about it, Lin Mingmo decided to go to Genting Temple on Genting Mountain to ask for a peace talisman.

It was what she wanted. She hoped that she could live a peaceful and smooth life for the rest of her life and not be deceived by others.

Because it was a weekday or the weather was cold, there were not many pilgrims at Yunding Temple.

Lin Mingmo knelt on the cushion, looked at the Bodhisattva statue in front of her, and bowed three times devoutly.

In the past, Yao Yuhui would bring her and Lin Xingxi to Yunding Temple to worship on specific days every year.

Lin Mingmo remembered that Yao Yuhui always prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless her and Lin Xingxi to successfully marry into wealthy families and lead the Lin family to a higher position.

At that time, Lin Mingmo thought this behavior was ridiculous.

If Bodhisattvas could help realize such wishes, then there would be no one in the world who could walk the right path with peace of mind.

She always prayed silently: "Don't listen to her, don't listen to him..."

Now, Lin Mingmo didn’t know how to tell the Bodhisattva what she was thinking, so she simply refused to make any wishes.

After the process was over, she stood up and placed the incense in her hand into the incense burner.

She took a deep breath, and the rich smell of incense filled her nostrils, making her feel peaceful.

After asking for two talismans, Lin Mingmo prepared to return.

She stroked the amulets wrapped in two embroidered sachets with her fingers, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

For the first time, I hoped that the Bodhisattva would really appear and bless the people.

She was so focused that she didn't lift her foot high enough when stepping over the threshold and accidentally tripped.

The two sachets flew out of his hands and landed on the ground, right in front of a pair of black leather shoes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lin Mingmo apologized repeatedly and bent down to pick them up. Unexpectedly, a slender hand with distinct joints picked up the two sachets before her.

Lin Mingmo stood up straight, looked up, and was about to say "thank you", but was stunned the moment she saw the face of the person in front of her.

Why is it him again?

Lin Mingmo's first reaction was that she was being followed, or that the locator he installed in her phone was not completely removed.

"Give it back to me!" Lin Mingmo frowned and said angrily.

Sheng Yuan had a gloomy expression and a furrowed brow. He was wearing a black coat, and against the backdrop of the lush pine trees of Yunding Mountain, he looked even colder.

He lowered his eyes, played with the two small sachets in his hands, and couldn't help but sneer, as if he remembered something funny.

"Lin Mingmo, didn't you say you didn't want to see me again?" Sheng Yuan said coldly, "You know I come here every year on this day, so you came here on purpose to create an encounter."

what?

Sheng Yuan comes to Yunding Temple on his birthday every year?

Lin Mingmo frowned and looked at Sheng Yuan in confusion, "I didn't even know you were coming! If I had known, I would never have come!"

"Oh..." Sheng Yuan nodded thoughtfully, raised an eyebrow and said, "So, this is fate again?"

"It's a bad fate." Lin Mingmo retorted.

"Even the pure land of Buddhism can breed bad karma." He shook his head slightly.

Lin Mingmo sighed deeply and said unhappily, "It's my fault for not checking the almanac before going out today..."

A breeze blew by, bringing the fresh scent of pine wood across Lin Mingmo's nose.

Lin Mingmo raised her eyes, looked at the sachet in Sheng Yuan's hand, and whispered, "Give me back my amulet, I'm leaving."

Sheng Yuan's hand paused, his eyes darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he spread out his palm in front of Lin Mingmo.

It's just a bad fate, no need to force it to stay.

Lin Mingmo raised her hand, picked up a sachet with her fingertips, held it in her palm, and walked away.

Sheng Yuan looked at the sachet left in his palm. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Wait!" he called to her sharply.

This shout inevitably pulled his chest, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain.

"hiss--"

Lin Mingmo stopped and turned her head, only to see Sheng Yuan's painful expression.

"What's wrong with you?" she panicked.

Sheng Yuan endured the pain and just frowned and said, "You missed one."

"You keep it." Lin Mingmo avoided his gaze.

"Taking someone else's amulet will not guarantee your safety." After the pain, Sheng Yuan raised the corners of his lips slightly and said softly.

"Then... give it back to me." Lin Mingmo said, reaching out to take it.

However, Sheng Yuan suddenly clenched his palms at this moment, and Lin Mingmo's hand touched his hand.

It's very cold.

Her cheeks felt hot and she tried to pull her hand back, but Sheng Yuan grabbed her wrist with his other hand.

Sheng Yuan stared at her with his cold eyes, his deep, hoarse voice particularly captivating, "When you pray for this talisman... whoever you think of, it will bless."

"Now, tell me, is it me you're thinking of?"
