She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

A few men over there looked over. Seeing the ladies taking pictures happily, Mr. Mario smiled and said, "Let them do their thing, we'll chat. We can go eat together later."

After waving to Pei Rong, the men began to chat about the history of jewelry in Yuncheng, the state of China's economic development in recent years, and changes in consumption patterns.

Pei Rong took many photos, and Shen Qingge even specially filmed a short video of her enjoying the lanterns. Pei Rong's red Chinese-style down jacket complemented the traditional lanterns on site perfectly.

Pei-Rong's eyes welled up with tears as she watched: "If Grandma were still here, I could show her these videos. She used to tell me about these traditional Chinese customs all the time."

Everyone comforted her, saying, "Grandma, if she could see this in person, she would be happy for you."

Pei Rong nodded, then suddenly asked, "These lanterns have very unique shapes. Is there a special story behind them?"

She remembered that her grandmother used to tell her many traditional Chinese stories when she fell asleep, but she was too young at the time and can't remember most of them now.

I only remember that when Grandma told these stories, her eyes were bright and sparkling, but there was a hint of sadness in her voice.

Shen Qingge quickly added, "Yes, yes, behind every lamp is a beautiful story, which is a unique feature of China."

Pointing to a nearby lantern shaped like a peach, she explained in Spanish: "This is the God of Longevity, and what he is holding is a peach."

This tradition has continued to this day; when older people celebrate their birthdays, a peach-shaped cake is often made on the cake as a blessing for the birthday person to enjoy health, longevity, and a long and healthy life.

Feeling the envious glances from the two ladies beside her, Shen Qingge felt extremely pleased with herself. Su Maiqi followed behind, appearing quite calm.

Shen Qingge thought to herself with disdain, "You're just pretending. Let's see how long you can keep it up."

Pei Rong suddenly pointed to a lantern depicting a flying pig holding a whisk and asked Shen Qingge, "Who is this one?"

Shen Qingge stood there, stunned. There are so many traditional stories in China, but she doesn't know them all. She can only name the birthday god because they are so popular that almost everyone knows them.

Who knew Pei Rong would be so serious? What should she do? She wanted to take out her phone to search online, but Pei Rong was staring at her, so it wasn't appropriate.

Just as I was wondering how to ease the awkwardness, I heard Su Maiqi behind me say slowly, "This is an auspicious deity, the Heavenly Nobleman. It is said that people with the Heavenly Nobleman in their birth chart will be very lucky and will be able to enjoy health and peace for their entire lives; they will also have good interpersonal relationships."

Pei Rong listened intently; it was so interesting! Seeing lanterns that piqued her interest, she asked questions like a child, following the lanterns to her along the way: the Old Man of the Moon, the God of Fortune, the God of Prosperity, the God of Literature…

Su Maiqi recognized every single lamp. Pei Rong listened with delight, and unconsciously linked arms with Su Maiqi, becoming very affectionate.

This girl has a calm aura, and Pei Rong liked her at first sight.

Unlike Shen Qingge, who, although also excellent, is a bit flamboyant and pretentious, and loves to show off too much.

Pei-Rong grew up with her grandmother, who had a calm demeanor but also a childlike innocence and liveliness when she was with her.

But when it comes to real-life situations, no matter what happens, she never shows her emotions. She remembers her grandmother often saying, "Don't make a fuss about everything; it's easy to be led astray by your emotions."

Especially when facing major changes, the ability to remain calm and undisturbed by external factors is essential for accurately assessing the situation and formulating strategies. The highest level of composure is to remain unmoved even when faced with a major crisis.

I don't know why, but seeing Mrs. Gu reminded me of what my grandmother had told me. She didn't look very old, and she was dressed very casually today, but the calmness in her eyes was enough to command respect.

Pei Rong and Su Maiqi felt an instant connection. They chatted about lanterns and various traditional stories along the way, becoming increasingly compatible.

The two ladies followed behind, echoing each other all the way, but they were a little guilty. It was one thing that they didn't speak Spanish, but how could they not even tell traditional Chinese stories?

If my husband knew that all my limelight had been stolen like this, he would really despise me.

Shen Qingge rolled her eyes inwardly. So what if she could tell a few traditional stories? So what if she could appease Mrs. Pei Rong?

Mario is a businessman. Understanding the market and making money are key. Can sentimentality really put food on the table?

After viewing the lanterns, the group went to buy incense and prayed at the temple.

Mrs. Pei Rong strictly followed Su Maiqi's reminders: when entering the door, she should lift her feet so as not to step on the threshold; when offering incense, she should first bow to heaven and earth, and so on.

I found it very interesting.

Seeing that Pei Rong was growing increasingly fond of Su Maiqi, Shen Qingge felt quite displeased. She never expected that these feudal superstitions and unsavory things could actually be put to use.

Since Mrs. Pei Rong liked it, Shen Qingge naturally wouldn't show it. Instead, she smiled and said, "Madam, you were born and raised in Spain. I didn't expect you to still have such deep feelings for your motherland. It's really touching that you like traditional Chinese culture."

With the Lunar New Year approaching, the temple fair offered a wide variety of activities. As we strolled along, almost two hours had passed without us realizing it.

As I walked, I saw several men standing in front of a stage where Chinese Kung Fu was being performed. A martial artist dressed in white silk Kung Fu attire was performing Tai Chi. His hands moved as if gliding across the water, gentle and continuous, and each palm flip and wrist turn revealed an inner strength.

His body rose and fell with the rhythm of his breathing, as if he had become one with the air currents between heaven and earth.

As he moved, the surrounding noise gradually subsided, and the audience's attention was drawn to his smooth and rhythmic movements.

As he progressed, his speed gradually increased, yet he maintained his composure. His hands began to mimic various offensive and defensive movements, such as Grasping the Sparrow's Tail, Single Whip, and Raising Hands, each movement precise and expressive. His footwork was light and agile, as if walking on water, leaving no trace.

As his routine was about to end, he suddenly executed a difficult one-legged stance, standing on one leg with the other leg extended straight into the air, his arm tracing a graceful arc. The completion of this movement was like a still landscape painting, both powerful and beautiful.

Finally, he slowly withdrew from his position, placed his hands together in front of his chest, took another deep breath, and then bowed to the audience.

Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd.

Mr. Mario finally noticed the ladies approaching and came over to greet them: "Beautiful ladies, are you tired from shopping? Shall we find a place to grab a bite to eat?"

Mrs. Pei Rong smiled and nodded: "Let's find a place to have lunch, have some snacks and fruit first, and you can chat about work."

Shen Qingge quickly replied, "There's a Western restaurant not far away; the ambiance and food are quite good."

The others nodded in agreement, and the group headed towards the tea restaurant. Shen Qingge glanced at Su Maiqi, thinking, "Finally, it's my time." She was looking forward to seeing Su Maiqi's awkwardness and embarrassment later.
