After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Lu Jiajia began to believe that Gu Tianyou would treat Shen Yao well.

Faced with Lu Jiajia's question, Shen Yao didn't know how to answer it better.

She hesitated for a long time before smiling and saying, "We are trying, but... well, let's leave it to fate."

In recent years, Shen Yao and Gu Tianyou have not taken any contraceptive measures.

However, the children are still a long way off for them.

Both Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao lost confidence in their ability to get pregnant again.

Lu Jiajia could hear the discouragement in Shen Yao's tone.

She quickly comforted her, "It's alright, you're only 34, there's still time! Wu Zetian's mother, Lady Yang, was 45 when she gave birth to Wu Zetian. We live in an era of high-tech development, there's still time for everything!"

"Yes, yes, Miss Lu is right."

Shen Yao found it somewhat amusing to hear Lu Jiajia talking about the child in such a serious manner.

After chatting for a while about their recent situations, the two hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yao realized that Gu Tianyou had been watching her the whole time.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Gu Tianyou, who had been holding the magazine, rested his hands on the table and stared intently at Shen Yao.

"Should we try going to a temple to burn incense?"

"Did you hear that?"

"Can't I listen? We're husband and wife."

Gu Tianyou took the hot milk that Wang Ma handed him and took a sip.

Shen Yao's face felt hot.

After blushing, she became angry at her own lapse in composure.

Is she really going to have a child for the man who hurt her?

However, hatred had made her life very painful.

She couldn't help but think about the past, about the deceased Bo Yuxiu, about the deceased Haoxuan, and about the child she had never met.

These dead people constitute a blood debt, standing between Shen Yao and Gu Tianyou.

"Do you want to go and offer incense?"

Shen Yao looked at Gu Tianyou, but instead of answering his question, she asked him a question in return.

Gu Tianyou nodded seriously.

"Yes, I want to go and offer incense. I want to ask God to give us a child."

The man spoke very sincerely.

An unusual light suddenly appeared in his dark eyes.

Shen Yao bit her lip, but ultimately agreed to Gu Tianyou's request.

Wang Ma came from the countryside.

Upon hearing that Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao were going to the temple to offer incense, they specially prepared many offerings and incense.

Uncle Wang warned sternly, "Temples do not allow you to bring your own cigarettes to burn. Take these cigarettes out."

"These cigarettes are for those who wish for many children and good fortune; they're very effective."

Wang Ma refused to take out the incense she had painstakingly bought at the market.

Shen Yao didn't force Wang Ma to take it out; she just smiled and comforted her.

“Wang Ma, we are very grateful for your kindness. We will take this incense with us first, and we will definitely use it if we need it.”

Only then did Wang Ma break into a smile.

"Yes, the young mistress is so considerate."

The temple for praying for a child is not in Shenzhen, but in another temple.

Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao drove for 5 hours and finally arrived near the temple.

The reason for not burning incense at night is...

That's because the temple was already closed.

There aren't any good hotels near the temple.

So he simply parked his car in the county town, an hour away from the temple.

We booked a five-star hotel.

However, when we actually checked in, we found that it was only a three-star hotel at best.

"This is the best we can do. Just make do with it."

Shen Yao noticed the disdain in Gu Tianyou's eyes and comforted him.

It must have been tough on this man who was used to a life of luxury.

Although the hotel rooms were small, they were well-equipped despite their small size.

After a long day of travel, the two washed up and lay down on the bed, falling asleep almost instantly.

I slept from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The two were awakened by shouts from next door.

I was going to pretend I didn't hear anything.

But the noise from next door kept coming incessantly, and Shen Yao's drowsiness was completely gone.

She turned over in frustration, glanced at the time, and realized it wasn't even 12 o'clock yet.

"Are you woken up?"

A man's voice came from behind.

Shen Yao turned around and was face to face with the man.

"The noise is too loud, I can't sleep."

After saying that, Shen Yao realized that she might have said something wrong.

She coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment.

The man laughed.

The voice was very low, coming from the throat.

Because they were face-to-face, Shen Yao heard everything clearly.

"Should we also..."

The man reached out and hugged Shen Yao.

Shen Yao quickly pulled the blanket over herself.

"Go to sleep. Aren't we supposed to go up the mountain to burn incense and pray to Buddha first thing tomorrow morning?"

"Don't worry, it won't affect anything, it'll be fine soon. Otherwise, with all this noise from next door, how will you sleep?"

As the man spoke, he gently lifted a corner of the blanket covering the woman.

It was only for a short while...

As Shen Yao finally curled up in the man's arms, she quickly glanced at her phone.

It was past 1 a.m.

This time, the thunder exploded in their ears, and they wouldn't wake up.

The alarm clock rang at 6 a.m.

Shen Yao couldn't get up.

I was really tormented by the man for too long last night.

Having gone through so much and weathered these seven years of ups and downs, Shen Yao's feelings for Gu Tianyou are very complicated.

Love and hate mixed together.

It's unclear.

The car stopped at the foot of the mountain, and Shen Yao and Gu Tianyou began to climb down.

Shen Yao was not a pampered person, and she had learned climbing before, so all of this was almost effortless for her.

She took a few steps, then thought that Gu Tianyou was spoiled and might not be able to keep up with her pace, so she turned back to look at the man.

She discovered that the man was no longer behind her.

It wasn't until she felt a tap on her shoulder that Shen Yao turned her head and saw that the man was now walking side by side with her.

Are you worried that I won't be able to get up there?

The man raised a slight eyebrow and looked at Shen Yao.

Shen Yao said without any politeness, "Yes, after all, you've been waited on hand and foot since you were little. I'm really worried you won't be able to handle it. After all, it's a half-hour climb up the mountain. If you faint, I'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing Shen Yao's words, the man's lips curled slightly, and he reached out and pinched the woman's waist hard.

"Who was it that begged me for mercy last night?"

Shen Yao's face flushed instantly upon hearing the man's words.

"I know you can do it, so hurry up and get up the mountain!"

After saying this, Shen Yao hurried up the mountain, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.

The man's deliberately suppressed laughter came from behind again.

Once they reached the mountain, Shen Yao and Gu Tianyou prayed to every Buddha they could find.

Shen Yao thought she would be coming down the mountain soon.

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianyou said he wasn't in a hurry to go down the mountain; he wanted to meet the abbot first.

"You actually know the abbot and the head monk?"

Shen Yao was quite surprised.

Gu Tianyou smiled mysteriously: "Yes, I'm serious about having a child this time."
