Chapter 59: Chapter 59

Chi Shuyan lay sprawled across the bed, blankly staring up at the ceiling and recalling the images in her head today. She felt really embarrassed and inexplicably strange.

She was embarrassed that this fortune-telling was only going to be another one of those times when Qi Zhenbai regarded her as rogue, who took advantage of him, and a dabbling Warlock; it was strange that she had the audacity to get involved in that sort of relationship with Qi Zhenbai.

Thinking back to how cute she was dressed in some sort of seductive cosplay lingerie, she had never even thought she could possibly be someone’s legal wife!

Was she really going to be this man’s mistress in the future?

Chi Shuyan frowned, feeling a headache and some confusion. They’d never crossed paths at all in her past life. Was this a butterfly effect of her rebirth? A domino effect?

Recalling the intimate scenes she had seen, Chi Shuyan still couldn’t believe that she was carried away kissing a man, let alone kneeling in front of some guy’s suit pants and calling him Daddy! Furthermore, the picture of the hungry man who was impossibly ravenous and exuding a crushing autocracy turned out to be Qi Zhenbai!

Before seeing those images, it never occurred to her that she would have any involvement with Qi Zhenbai, thinking that he was just a passer-by, not even as a friend. That man always had a frigid expression when he looked at her, one filled with disdain due to his OCD and abstinent front. If she hadn’t seen those images, she might have suspected that he liked men.

Honestly, up to this point, she still thought that Qi Zhenbai would be short-lived. If not, he would either be gay or live a solitary life. As for her, she was even more clueless about relationships and marriage, and had no room for them. She couldn’t imagine having a relationship with Qi Zhenbai in the future, nor did she want to, let alone that sort of indescribable indecent relationship!

He’d probably think the same if he knew about it.

Chi Shuyan felt it would be better to stay away from him to avoid suspicion in the future. Although he was outstanding and stunning enough, it was obvious that he was lucky with the ladies but non-committal. She was also afraid of trouble and would rather live a solitary life than be a widow.

Qi Residence

“You’re finally willing to come back. Our family has been worried sick about you.” As soon as Master Qi knew his grandson was back, he immediately scolded him. “You’re not cherishing and taking care of your body well. Can’t you delay the company matters for a while?”

“I know, Grandpa.” Qi Zhenbai smiled and said gently.

Grandpa Qi’s bellyful of a raging lecture had come to an abrupt end. Looking at this most brilliant and ambitious grandson, he couldn’t be ruthless. Seeing that his complexion was pretty good, his anger vanished. “Celestial Master Zhang will come tomorrow to check the feng shui of our ancestral tomb and check your body to better condition it.” After blowing his top, he walked away.

Master Qi said so, but when Celestial Master Zhang came to the door, he asked him to treat his grandson, Qi Zhenbai, first and check his body to condition it.

“Has your cold ailment flared up recently?” Celestial Master Zhang’s eyes were filled with surprise. The Qi family had been urging Qi Zhenbai to come back, in fear that his cold ailment would recur in Fuzhou.

Qi Zhenbai was slightly shocked. He used to have a seizure once every six months, but it had gotten worse now and the frequency changed to once a month. But it seemed that this month had passed, yet he never had that feeling of being ice-cold all the time.

“I’ve seen the prescription and it’s really wonderful! Fuzhou is indeed a place filled with hidden masters, with capable people appearing one after another.” Celestial Master Zhang wasn’t shy in his praise. “It seems that your recovery is just around the corner.”

Celestial Master Zhang said so on the surface, but he was filled with doubts in his heart. Although this prescription seemed to suppress his cold ailment, how could it still be effective in curing him? There was no doubt that Qi Zhenbai’s health has improved.

Qi Zhenbai keenly captured Celestial Master Zhang’s subtle expression and fell in deep thought.

“Celestial Master Zhang, are you saying that karma and the supernatural really exist in the world? Although Qi Zhenbai had known that Celestial Master Zhang was a Feng Shui Master, he classified him under the umbrella of Chinese medicine. Before, Celestial Master Zhang only spoke to his grandpa about his condition and some specific things. Ever since he came into contact with Chi Shuyan, however, he realized that there were many things that science couldn’t explain.

“Naturally, there’s karma. You reap what you sow. A person is born with a fixed destiny, but can also alter it through acquired efforts. A man of excellent fortune will soon lose his luck if he doesn’t know how to cherish it. Similarly, an unlucky person can turn the tides.” Celestial Master Zhang smiled. “As for the supernatural, it’s up to you whether to believe in it or not. It seems that Young Master Qi believes after your trip.”

Qi Zhenbai impassively raised his slender eyes that were as quiet as deep pools. He hadn’t said anything before, but in Bocheng’s case, he also knew that the little girl was skilled and extraordinary. In the past, if someone had told him that a talisman could save someone from danger, he would never have believed it.

Recalling her two empty divinations, his eyes narrowed. He looked up and suddenly asked, “If a real Celestial Master tells fortunes, but the divination comes out blank, why could that be?”

“There are two scenarios in which what Young Master Qi mentioned could happen. One, the Celestial Master isn’t powerful enough. As for the other, he calculated it, but it’s too embarrassing to mention and can’t be spoken of! The latter may have many strings attached! All I can say is that the Celestial Master probably has a close destiny with Young Master Qi!” Celestial Master Zhang clarified in one stop. Looking at Young Master Qi’s wooden face in front of him, he took a rare moment to tease, “If the Celestial Master is a magnificent girl, she might be destined for marriage with Young Master Qi.”

Qi Zhenbai’s dim eyes flickered and completely didn’t believe that he would have any ties with her, much less a marriage made in heaven.

Father Zhu went to work in the company as usual and held a regular meeting. While listening to various department heads reporting their quarterly sales, an assistant suddenly walked in and handed him a phone.

Father Zhu frowned. Seeing that the number above was his family’s private landline, he thought it was Zhu Bocheng, that rascal, who was in trouble again. Otherwise, Mother Zhu wouldn’t normally call at this time.

However, when he picked up the phone, he found out that it was Mother Zhu, who had an accident. The housekeeper on the phone said that she rolled down the stairs and was taken to the hospital.

Father Zhu was scared out of his wits, knowing how steep and high their stairs at home were. In addition, Mother Zhu was old and her limbs and body weren’t particularly good. If she rolled down the steps with those old limbs, suffering a fracture would be considered just a minor injury.

And if she had hit something sharp displayed in the living room… that would really be terrible!

Father Zhu didn’t dare to think deeper, hurriedly asking his assistant to take charge of the next meeting, and went straight to the parking lot.

Hospital

“Madam Zhu, after a series of examinations, the report shows that you’re perfectly fine and can be discharged.” The doctor in the lab coat supported Mother Zhu in the ward and informed her gently. He spoke flatly, but his eyes never left Mother Zhu in the bed. If she and the housekeeper hadn’t both sworn that she rolled down from the second floor, he really wouldn’t have believed it. Forget about her old age, even a normal person would have suffered a broken bone or a swollen leg, if not seriously injured, rolling down the second floor. But Mother Zhu had no injuries at all, not even a minor one. After thinking about it further, the white-clad doctor found it very strange.

“What a divine blessing!” The housekeeper was amazed and grinned happily in exultation. “It must be because Madam frequently donates. Good people are rewarded.”

The nanny still shuddered at the thought of the spine-tingling scene she saw when she came out of the kitchen and saw Mother Zhu falling down the stairs. She didn’t expect to rush Mother Zhu to the hospital, but she wasn’t hurt at all.

Never mind Mother Zhu’s age, even a young person falling from that height would probably spend many days bedridden.

Mother was also astonished. In fact, when she fell down the stairs, she didn’t feel much pain. She purely scared herself and thought that she’d been paralyzed. A blue and white porcelain vase next to her shattered as a result of her fall, but she wasn’t hurt at all. It felt like something had protected her from danger.

“So, are all the tests done? Is she okay?” Father Zhu, who just stepped in gasping for a breath, asked the doctor anxiously. But after seeing that Mother Zhu was fine he calmed down a bit.
