After climbing the stairs for more than an hour, Su Nanxing finally arrived at the temple entrance. She looked up at the continuous chanting of Buddhist scriptures coming from inside the temple and walked into the temple after a while.

After looking around the temple, Su Nanxing entered the main hall and solemnly bowed several times to the Buddha statue before leaving. At that moment, a monk approached and said, "Female benefactor, please wait."

Su Nanxing turned to the monk and asked, "What is it, Master?" The monk replied, "Our abbot requests your presence." Su Nanxing nodded and said, "Please lead the way."

The monk said, "Yes, this way please." Then the monk led Su Nanxing to the side hall.

After leading Su Nanxing inside, the monk said to the monk standing in front, "Abbot, the female benefactor has been brought here." The abbot turned around and said, "You may leave now."

The monk nodded and said, "Yes." After the monk left, Su Nanxing looked puzzled and said, "The abbot personally asked what business he had with me. I don't think we know each other." The abbot smiled and said, "Sit down."

As he spoke, he sat down at a table. After Su Nanxing sat down, the abbot smiled and said, "Does the benefactor have any concerns?" Su Nanxing smiled and said, "How do you know?" The abbot smiled and said, "Your master said you were the most carefree, but seeing you today, you don't seem to be. Indeed, you have many thoughts on your mind."

Su Nanxing smiled and asked, "Does the abbot know my master?" The abbot smiled and replied, "We've been friends for many years. Your master was right after all. One day you would step into this place. If I'm not mistaken, you've come for that person, haven't you?" Su Nanxing smiled and said, "The abbot is indeed incredibly insightful. I have indeed come for him."

The abbot smiled and said, "Fate is a mysterious thing. Your destiny is predetermined. I called you here today only to inform you of something." Su Nanxing nodded and said, "I am willing to hear it."

The abbot smiled and said, "Some things cannot be forced; everything is predestined." Su Nanxing frowned and asked, "What does this mean? Won't things turn out well for me and him?" The abbot smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not about love. You should figure it out for yourself. Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. This is what your master once told me to tell you." With that, he got up and walked out of the hall.

Su Nanxing bowed in the direction the abbot had left and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Abbot." He then walked out of the side hall, watching plum blossoms drift down from the sky. He caught a snowflake and murmured, "It's snowing."

After obtaining two Buddhist prayer bead bracelets, he left. It was already past five o'clock when he descended the mountain. Mo Nanyu called Su Nanxing and asked, "Baby, where are you?" Su Nanxing looked at the temple on the mountain and smiled, "I'm in the suburbs, about to head back."

Mo Nanyu asked, "Do you want me to pick you up?" Su Nanxing replied, "No need, I'll be back soon." Mo Nanyu could only say, "Be careful on the road, I'll wait for you at home." Su Nanxing nodded and said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Su Nanxing got into the car. Mu Ran asked, "What brings you to this temple, Boss?" Su Nanxing smiled and said, "I'm asking for something." Mu Ran asked, "Boss, are you a Buddhist?"

Su Nanxing smiled and said, "Believe it, why not? Just pray for peace and reassurance." Mu Ran nodded and said, "Is that so? Then where shall we go?" Su Nanxing said, "Chang'an Jingyuan." Mu Ran nodded and said, "Yes!"

After the car set off, Mu Ran said, "Boss, I'm afraid we can't take Cape District. The brothers have gone there many times without success." Su Nanxing looked at the swirling snow outside the window and said, "Then let's not go. Let the brothers retreat. Killing too many animals is not good. It's good to accumulate some good karma."

Mu Ran nodded and said, "Yes! But boss, you seem to have matured quite a bit in the past year." Su Nanxing smiled and said, "Really?" Mu Ran said, "Of course! Your eyes have changed; they've become much dimmer and lack the sparkle they used to have."

Su Nanxing sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do. As you see more of the world, you naturally change. People have to grow, after all."

They drove in silence until the car stopped in front of Chang'an Jingyuan. Mo Nanyu was standing there holding an umbrella. Seeing the car stop, he quickly went over. Su Nanxing said, "You go back first. I'll contact you if I need anything." Mu Ran nodded and said, "Yes."

Mo Nanyu carried Su Nanxing into the villa. Mo Nanyu held Su Nanxing's hand and said, "Why are you so cold? You didn't wear gloves when you went out? I made you some ginger soup, I'll go get it to warm you up." Su Nanxing nodded, then took the ginger soup from Mo Nanyu's hand. After drinking it, Mo Nanyu said, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat now?"

Su Nanxing nodded and said, "Okay."

After dinner, Su Nanxing returned to her room, took a shower, and sat on the bed waiting for Mo Nanyu to come back. When Mo Nanyu returned around 10 p.m., he saw Su Nanxing sitting on the bed playing on the computer. He went over, kissed Su Nanxing, and asked, "Are you tired?"

Su Nanxing shook her head and said, "I'm not tired." Mo Nanyu laughed and said, "Silly girl, what if something happens to you after running so far alone with so many bodyguards?" Su Nanxing laughed and said, "Well, you're here. Go take a shower, I have a gift for you later."

Mo Nanyu nodded and smiled, "Okay." He then went in to take a shower. Su Nanxing felt a little hot, so she turned the heating down a bit. After Mo Nanyu came out, he hugged Su Nanxing and smiled, "Baby, what gift do you want to give me?"

Su Nanxing reached out and picked up a box from the side, then took Mo Nanyu's hand and removed the bracelet from it. After that, she put the Buddhist prayer beads she had obtained that day on Mo Nanyu's wrist and smiled, saying, "This is for you." Mo Nanyu kissed Su Nanxing and smiled, "Thank you, baby. What about yours?"

Su Nanxing put on the other one and said, "Here it is." Mo Nanyu kissed Su Nanxing tenderly and said, "Silly girl, why did you go there by yourself? It's such a tall temple." Su Nanxing smiled and said, "Didn't someone feel that I didn't buy him any vinegar when we were abroad? So I went to the temple and personally asked for two strings of them. Do you like them?"

Mo Nanyu looked at the bracelet and smiled, "Of course I like it." Su Nanxing nodded and said, "I'm glad you like it." Mo Nanyu smiled and said, "Thank you, baby." Then he kissed her. They didn't sleep a wink that night, and Mo Nanyu didn't fall into a deep sleep until the early hours of the morning after he had tidied up the two of them and the room.

Mo Nanyu didn't get up until almost noon. Looking at Su Nanxing in his arms, he said with heartache, "My darling, you've worked so hard." Then he kissed Su Nanxing on the forehead.

Su Nanxing didn't wake up until after 3 PM. Mo Nanyu, seeing her awake, quickly hugged her and said, "You're awake, sweetie!" Su Nanxing hummed in response. Mo Nanyu smiled and said, "Sweetie, get up and eat something, okay?" Su Nanxing nodded and said, "Okay~"

After finishing her meal, Su Nanxing collapsed onto the bed again. Mo Nanyu hugged her and said, "Sweetie, I want to discuss something with you." Su Nanxing nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Mo Nanyu smiled and said, "Let's get married, okay?" Su Nanxing looked at Mo Nanyu, who looked at her nervously. Then Su Nanxing said, "Okay~"

Mo Nanyu exclaimed in surprise, "Really?" Su Nanxing nodded and said, "Yes, you can arrange it." Mo Nanyu smiled and said, "Okay, that way the baby will never leave me again." Su Nanxing smiled helplessly.
