"Yes... I think I am quite destined to it..." Tao Zi fiddled with the beads on her wrist and explained their origin, "You should have seen it, I was picking this up when I met you that day!

"

"Then...the Lord Buddha must have blessed you!" Luo Dongqin said with a smile, without revealing the truth about the beads.

If a woman like her knew that he had left the beads behind, and that they were exactly half the number, she would have immediately pulled them off and thrown them away. Although she didn't meet her many times, she would have

She can truly feel that in her heart, there is a man who is like a sun god. If other men have the slightest idea of ​​approaching her, she will raise her thorns like a hedgehog, guarding against poisonous insects and beasts.

.

Therefore, instead of letting her throw away the beads, it is better to let her think that this is really a kind of fate.

In fact, is this not fate?

Could it be that, somehow, this is really God's will?

Nine plus nine is perfection...

"What about your Bodhisattva? Where did it come from? Why are there nine?" Tao Zi doesn't like talking to strangers, especially strange men. It's because of the beads that she talks more than usual. What's more?

, both of them were wearing the same nine.

"This..." He smiled and looked far away thoughtfully, "My mother left it to me."

"Your mother? But why nine?" Nine bodhi seeds strung together were far from enough to cover a wrist. It was rare to give beads like this to others. She thought, perhaps, that he had obtained them unintentionally like her.

Come.

"Yes. My mother. As for why there are nine..." He chuckled and had to find a reasonable reason, "Let's use your words, it's fate. I am destined to have these nine Bodhi seeds."

With his ability to speak eloquently, if he met another woman, or he should say, the reason why there are nine bodhi seeds is because my mother told me that when I met another woman who also wore nine bodhi seeds,

At this time, my destiny has arrived.

However, Tao Zi is not that kind of woman. He dare not and cannot make mistakes...

Tao Zi no longer delved into this issue. She believed in fate, just as she believed in fate between herself and the Bodhi in her hand.

The coolness on the mountain was even worse than at the foot of the mountain. Luo Dongqin's clothes were empty on her body. When the wind blew, it went straight into the clothes. After sitting for a while, she could no longer resist the coldness. Tao Zi saw that Luo Dongqin had taken off his coat and was only wearing

She had already lost a piece of clothing, and she felt sorry for herself. There was no need to drag him with her and then sit down with him to cause him to catch a cold.

I was finally leaving today, so I said, "It's getting late. I have to rush back to Beijing today. I have to go down the mountain. What about you? You'd better go back to the hospital honestly!"

"Okay!" He stood up quickly and picked up his clothes. "Have you bought your train ticket? I'll ask the driver to take you to the train station."

"No, I'll take the bus!" she said lightly.

"Bus? You are not allowed to transfer twice in between?" Luo Dongqin looked at her in surprise. This was not consistent with her status as a wealthy young lady...

"Yes!" She admitted frankly and sneered at his surprise, "What does that matter? Do you think everyone in the world is like you and everyone rides luxury cars?"

"That's not what I meant..." He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Tao Zi seemed to be looking at him with some class antagonism, "I'm just curious why you don't take the train. It's much more convenient and not expensive."

"I... didn't bring my ID card!" she finally admitted awkwardly.

He then smiled. How could she, who was so decisive and capable when giving him first aid yesterday, be so confused?

"In this case, I'll ask the driver to take you back to Beijing." He made his decision as expected.

"But……"

"No, but they happen to be going to Beijing to do something, so let's go together!" This time, he didn't allow her to refuse.

It was a long drive from here to Beijing. Luo Dongqin didn't waste any more time and quickly took her to the foot of the mountain. His car was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain.

Two drivers were assigned to go to Beijing so that they could take turns driving, and then they let her get in the car, saying that they wanted to repay her for saving her life.

Luo Dongqin's attitude was so sincere that it was hard to refuse. After a moment of hesitation, she chose to accept his offer. After all, this arrangement was much more convenient than traveling alone, and it didn't require her to stay in a small hotel.

Night.

So, I bid farewell to Luo Dongqin and set off towards Beijing.

Sitting in his car, she no longer had any worries about the journey. Not long after setting off, she fell asleep in the back seat, and then she let herself fall asleep. Along the way, she was very sleepy and awake.

of comfort.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, when she arrived in Beijing successfully, she still didn't know that she was sleeping comfortably in the back seat. It was the driver who woke her up.

"Are we here?" She opened her sleepy eyes and looked outside. The driver actually sent her directly to Ning's house...

How did Luo Dongqin know where the Ning family lived?

"Yes, we're here." The driver opened the door for her and drove for a day. Although they took turns driving, they still looked tired.

Tao Zi was a little reluctant to go back to Ning's house, but she was too embarrassed to instruct the driver to take her elsewhere. She thought of getting off the car first and then taking a ride to leave.

So she got out of the car and thanked the driver again and again until the driver drove Luo Dongqin's car away. She was about to go out and catch a ride when she saw a car drive in and the bright headlights shone on her.

It's over, it's Yan Zhuang's car, now she can't leave even if she wants to...

Sure enough, the car stopped quickly. As soon as the door opened, Yan Zhuang got out of the car. When he saw her, he called out in surprise, "Taotao! Are you back?"

"...Mom..." Tao Zi stiffly called out solemnly, forcing a smile on her face.

"Ouch! Taotao! Let's go! Go back to the house quickly! It's cold standing here!" Yan Zhuang didn't say anything else. He took her hand and walked into the corridor, his eyes inadvertently scanning the clothes she was wearing.

.

Tao Zi has never been a dull person, so she was naturally aware of such a look. She completely understood what a mother-in-law would think when she saw her daughter-in-law, who had been missing for several days, come back wearing another man's clothes...

Yan Zhuang's well-maintained hands were as warm and lubricated as before, but in her heart, she could not find the close feeling she had with her mother-in-law.

She followed Yan Zhuang and entered the gate of Ning's house. The bright lights in the house were still the same as before, but her mood was completely different. In the past, she really regarded Ning's family as her own home, and Yan Zhuang and Ning Jinping as her own.

It was the parents who looked at it. Now that something like this happened with Ning Zhenqian, everything has changed...

But it turns out that the whole meaning of this home to her lies in Ning Zhenqian. Because of him, this home is called home...

Ning Jinping was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Her face was as dark as usual. She couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry. But after entering this door, she couldn't just turn a blind eye to her father-in-law and walk past. She had to lower her head and call out timidly.

He said, "Dad..."

Ning Jin's cold eyes fell on her, and he nodded slightly, "Well, you're back?"

"Yes..." She lowered her head, feeling that Ning Jinping's gaze was making her scalp numb. Especially, she was wearing men's clothes, which made her feel even more terrified.

She had quickly glanced around the room, but she didn't see Ning Zhenqian, and she didn't know where he was. Is he still with Qianqi's parents? That's okay, she didn't want to see him yet, maybe she would wait for him later

You should tell Yan Zhuang that you don’t want to live here...

With her head lowered, she quickly walked through the living room in fear and walked towards her and Ning Zhenqian's bedroom.

Opening the door, it was neat and tidy inside, but there was no one around.

She didn't know whether to feel relieved or disappointed. All in all, she felt empty and very uncomfortable.

Yan Zhuang followed him into the bedroom, and she subconsciously took off Luo Dongqin's coat.

Yan Zhuang pretended not to notice her action, his smile was as amiable as ever, and he pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, "Taotao, was it fun to go out this time?" 13acv.

"Hmm... not bad..." She had no idea what Yan Zhuang was going to say when he came in to talk, so she hesitated.

"Silly girl, are you so careless? You went out without taking your mobile phone, wallet or ID card. You don't know where you went. You're going to scare us to death!" Yan Zhuang said and poked her forehead gently.

The words were both reproach and love.

"I'm sorry, Mom..." No matter what happened between her and Ning Zhenqian, Yan Zhuang's treatment of her was nothing more than that of his biological daughter. Once she left, her family members were worried and worried, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Silly, what's the point of sorry between mother and daughter?" Yan Zhuang's tone was gentler.

Tao Zi felt warm in her heart. The words "mother and daughter" alone were enough to hit the softest part of her heart. If it had been in the past, she would have thrown herself into Yan Zhuang's arms. However, she ran out without saying a word for two days.

A daughter-in-law who returns home wearing another man's coat cannot act as if nothing has happened in front of her mother-in-law.

Yan Zhuang just ran his fingers through her short hair and said softly, "Taotao, you and Xiao Zhen have been married for so long. You should also understand that Xiao Zhen is quite stupid. He has been in Yunnan for eight years and served in the army.

Having lived a nearly closed life for eight years, I have become even more stupid, beyond stupid

The leader doesn't even know how to communicate with others, let alone figure out a girl's thoughts and make her happy. With his mouth open, even if he has something in his heart, he can't express it, and sometimes what he says is completely opposite to what he thinks in his heart.

However, he will use actions

Express his concern quietly. Let me give you an example. I have had a problem with my shoulder since I was young. It happens from time to time. Although it is not a big problem, it hurts and is quite annoying. He comes back from vacation occasionally,

Just when I was sick,

That's absolutely not a good word from him. One time he said to me "I deserve it" with a stern face. Do you think, if I didn't understand him, would I be mad to death? In fact, what he wanted to express was that he wanted to

Don't be so tired, don't work so hard, otherwise I deserve the pain..."

Tao Zi listened silently, believing that this would be Ning Zhenqian's style, never saying anything nice to anyone.

"Although he said that, not long after he returned, medicinal materials were sent from Yunnan, and there was no word on them. But I knew that they must be the secret prescriptions prescribed by the local old Chinese medicine or Tibetan medicine that he had spent so much effort to find.

"As he spoke, Yan Zhuang sighed again, "Taotao, maybe you also feel that the relationship between Xiao Zhen and his family has never been very good, mainly towards his father, and he is also very alienated from me. Every year he visits me.

If he hadn't mobilized grandma to force him during the family leave, he wouldn't have come back. However, since you married into our family, we have really seen the changes in Xiao Zhen. He is willing to go home and talk to us. Although he is still

He is dull, but his heart is alive. He will care about you and feel sorry for you. You don’t know that when he came back and found that you were missing, he went crazy with anxiety and almost turned the whole city of Beijing upside down to look for you.”

After Yan Zhuang finished speaking, he saw that she still lowered her head and said nothing, so he asked with a smile, "Why don't you ask where Xiao Zhen went?"
