Chapter 182: Finding Joy In Battling Fate (1)

“Why don’t the two of you come inside for some fortune-telling?” As the elderly man stared at the both of them, his amber-colored eyes attracted many people’s attention.

Xin Siyue slightly widened her eyes at his words, she didn’t understand what was happening. ‘Didn’t people say that this remarkable and powerful elderly man rarely tells fortune for people?’

Xin Siyue had never held superstitious beliefs towards these unreliable matters, but she was still very curious. Therefore, when her gaze landed on Chen Sinan, she wanted to inquire with him. However, his gaze was darkening. It was rare for him to reply in a polite and respectful tone. “Many thanks, but we don’t need it.”

Chen Sinan took a step forward and held Xin Siyue’s hand, he was about to leave. That was when he heard the elderly man say in a firm voice, “Soulless body.”

“Hm?” These random words made Xin Siyue pause her footsteps, she pulled Chen Sinan to a stop, and turned around to look at the elderly man

The elderly man’s amber eyes were bright and shocking. Xin Siyue even noticed that she didn’t need to observe closely in order to see the wrinkles within the beautiful pupils of his eyes.

“Uh…” Before Xin Siyue could finish her words, she watched on as the elderly man glanced at Chen Sinan, directing his words at him, “As time flies, one will know where they belong to in the future. You guys are not fated and you guys will hurt each other and yourselves.”

Chen Sinan, who heard this, suddenly looked gloomy.

Xin Siyue remained stunned in her original spot, she couldn’t say anything even after a while.

After the elderly man stared at their tightly linked hands, he shook his head and softly chuckled. When he was done, he turned around and staggered off.

As Xin Siyue stared at his fading figure, her heart suddenly felt heavy. She looked towards Chen Sinan and pretended to act casual. “Do you think he’s saying the truth?”

It was evident that Chen Sinan didn’t want to stay here anymore. He held her hands and kept on walking forward, he replied to her in a cold voice, “I don’t believe in non-existent matters like this.”

Xin Siyue chuckled and responded, “Yeah, I don’t believe in it either.”

The two of them returned back in their hotel, as they weren’t in the mood to stroll around anymore, they simply planned to go back the next day.

What the two didn’t know was that when the elderly man returned to his room, a young and tall man sat by the censer. And yet, the elderly man didn’t even glance at the latter and just merely said, “You can go back now.”

The young man laughed and played with his phone, however, he asked the old man with a sincere tone, “Didn’t Mister want me to tell them their fortune a few days ago? Why is it that when they just passed by, you were so eager to walk out?”

“This elderly man is becoming older now and usually does whatever he wants, please head back.”

“Sorry to bother you, Mister.” The young man stood up and politely bowed, he shortly left the room afterwards.

After he got in the car, he made a call. When the other line picked up, he softly laughed and then said, “Wenyang, do you have good intentions for worrying about the newlywed couple? Or bad intentions?”

“Kaivion, stop speaking like that. Whether it’s out of good or bad intentions, I’m just purely worried.”

To her response, Kaivion didn’t really care that much. He replied, “The both of them seem to be quite lovey-dovey. The girl has a nice figure and the guy is quite handsome. If you’re not interested in Mo Bei because of him, I can kind of understand. After all, he’s so much more handsome than Mo Bei.”

Upon hearing this, at the other end of the call, Sheng Wenyang tugged the corner of her lips silently. She didn’t want to talk about this with him.

She knew that the talented Kaivion held the same profession as her. After he graduated and returned to the country, he didn’t engage in designing jewelry. But Instead, he found a fascinating island and spent his time every day bathing in the sunlight, freely living with beautiful women.

She had a deep relationship with him and this was all thanks to Mo Bei, who was the middleman.

This time, when she found out that Chen Sinan was going to stay a few days on the island, she suddenly remembered the mysterious elderly man.

She had gone to see Kaivion in the past, and when he brought her over, he told her about the legend. Even though Sheng Wenyang held no superstitious beliefs regarding this, she was still quite curious at the moment and wanted to see if she was pleasing to the elderly man’s eyes.

After she went in to test it out, the elderly man faintly told her, “Please go back.”

The moment Sheng Wenyang heard this, she knew what he meant. She wanted to say something else, however, the elderly man quietly said, “I am not interested in someone who I’m not fated to see.”

Just right then, Sheng Wenyang felt quite awkward. Kaivion, who was standing just three meters from her, was chuckling at the sight.

Right now, what she cared about the most was what the elderly man said.

Kaivion kept her in suspense. “Do you know he told their fortune for them?”

“Really?” When Sheng Wenyang heard this, her heart thumped rapidly before sinking back. “Wh-what did he say?”

Kaivion paused for a bit and carefully recalled, he then said, “He said something like ‘go back to wherever you came from, otherwise you will hurt each other and yourselves.’” The reason why he knew this was because he was hiding by the door, it took him a lot of effort just to hear this.
