86. Concentric Knot

“Old abbot, hold on please. Why did you sigh just now? Aren’t my master and madam a perfect match?”

Liu Kai was puzzled, full of doubts.

“Yes, Mr. Huo and Mrs.Bai are of course a perfect match, but their relationship is destined to go through hardships.”

The old abbot sighed and waved his hand, unwilling to say more. Liu Kai was puzzled in his heart, but he also agreed.

Master had kept too many things from madam. As a saying goes, truth will come to light sooner or later. If madam knew the truth one day, the hardship would be inevitable. He scratched his ears in embarrassment when Liu Yun walked in. She heard the words of the abbot clearly, and said coldly: “This woman is not worthy of the young master at all.”

Liu Kai glared at Liu Yun and said sternly: “You and I cannot criticize madam, Liu Yun, don’t forget your identity.”

“I’ve never forgotten who I am, so you think you can really marry her best friend? Stop daydreaming. A young lady of wealthy family could never love a bodyguard with nothing!”

Liu Yun said sarcastically with disdain.

“You–”

Liu Kai was angry with her, who would either not speak, or opened her mouth to make her angry to death.

“Liu Kai, Liu Yun, don’t you two go to make a wish? We’re all here, you should also make a wish and pray for marriage.”

Before Bai Qingqing arrived, her voice had already come.

Both of them found that they lost their cool and immediately kept their cold face.

“No, I don’t need marriage. I will stay with the young master for the rest of my life.”

Liu Yun’s answer was so cold and blunt that it made her embarrassed.

Liu Kai nodded quickly and thanked her, and took Liu Yun to pray.

“Thank you, madam. We will come to make wishes.”

Bai Qingqing looked at the back of them, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She always felt that Liu Yun wasn’t kind to her. A woman always has a very accurate sixth sense. Could it be that she liked–

She also liked Huo Yunchen? In fact, there was nothing strange. Her husband was so excellent that it was normal for her to adore him for they had known each other for many years. But why was she still uncomfortable? “Wife, why are you in a daze?”

“I, I’m thinking about Liu Yun, does she like you?” Bai Qingqing looked at Huo Yunchen and said seriously, with a little jealousy in her words. “Of course, she also likes Liu Kai. The three of us grew up together. Liu Kai is my brother and Liu Yun is my sister. But if you don’t like her, I can make a substitution.” Huo Yunchen looked upright and calm, holding Bai Qingqing’s hand tightly. “No matter if it’s my brother or sister, no one can upset my only wife in the world.”

Bai Qingqing was amused by him in an instant. Why was this man so good at coaxing?

This man was full of advantages.

“Okay, I don’t need to change. I still have confidence in my husband and myself.”

“Well, my wife is the best.” Huo Yunchen’s slender fingers lifted Bai Qingqing’s delicate chin, and a faint kiss gently covered her cherry lips. Not far away, Liu Yun, who was tying a wishing ribbon with Liu Kai, was deeply hurt by this scene.

She had warned herself countless times not to transcend the line and betray herself, but her heart was out of control.

Uncomfortable, suffering, tormented…

This woman was deliberately showing off in front of her, and she must be deliberate.

They four stayed in Baiyun Temple for a fast meal, and then left in the afternoon when the sun was not so strong.

Before they left, the old abbot gave them a pair of concentric knots and said a few words of courteous and sincere blessings.

Bai Qingqing held the concentric knot in her palm. Liu Yun asked to carry her when they descended the steps.

But when Bai Qingqing refused, and Liu Yun said aggressively.

“Madam, don’t you believe me? Afraid that I will make you fall down?”

“No, I believe you. It’s just that I’m not so tired going downstairs, and besides my husband and Liu Runan, I’m really not used to letting others touch me.”

Liu Yun was aggressive, but Bai Qingqing was not a bully. Her tone was also quite a bit blunt and she had clarified her view clearly that Liu Yun was just someone else and was not qualified to touch her.

Liu Yun bowed her head coldly and glanced at Huo Yunchen, whose expression was very gloomy.

She also realized her irrationality, so she stepped aside and didn’t say anything. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Liu Kai stepped in for the rescue, “Liu Yun has no idea for she’s new here. The road is slippery because of the rain, madam. Be careful, please.”

“Well, I will.” Going downstairs wasn’t that tiring, so Huo Yunchen didn’t insist, just holding her hand and walking with her.

Although the steps were a bit slippery, they walked slowly. “My wife, do you think we are like a couple who still live together a hundred years later, stumbling, supporting each other, and growing old together.”

“If it’s snowing now, don’t you have to say that we walk together and turn grey.”

… Xishan Nursing Home.

Liu Yun secretly came to see Shen Qingyue while Bai Qingqing was sleeping. When in country F, Liu Yun had served Shen Qingyue. Shen Qingyue had no daughter, so she always treated her as a daughter.

How could she bear to watch Shen Qingyue being locked in Xishan Nursing Home?

When Shen Qingyue saw Liu Yun, she was indifferent, as if she had expected her to come.

“You are here.” “Madam, I’m late.”

When Liu Yun saw Shen Qingyue, she knelt at her feet, lying on her knees like a child.

“Madam, master has gone too far. How could he lock you here to suffer for that woman?

And the old master and lady gave that woman the manor that should belong to you. Madam, how could they treat you like that?”

Liu Yun cried while talking. She was a cold bodyguard in front of others, but in front of Shen Qingyue, she was just a girl, an ordinary girl who would cry when she suffered many wrongs .

Shen Qingyue brushed her hair lightly, with a smile on the corner of her lips, and said faintly: “I don’t blame my son, nor do the old man and the old lady, but the woman who is the same as her mother. She’s too clever, if it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t end up like this.”

She sneered, with a voice full of hatred and helplessness.

“Madam, what should I do? What can I do to get you back, the owner of Family Shen’s Manor should be you, not the hypocritical bad woman.” Liu Yun said angrily.

Shen Qingyue raised her hand to lift Liu Yun’s chin, and looked at this face carefully.

“Obviously, you have a beautiful face, which can make you fly to the top of branch to turn into a phoenix. But if you want to make yourself look like a man, how can you capture the heart of a man? Silly girl, you are the only one who deserves to be my daughter-in-law, do you understand?”
