“Young Master, I noticed that Young Madam seems to be looking for you.”

Mo Jiangye retorted proudly, “I’m not blind. I can see that she’s looking for me.”

Bo Yu was left speechless.

After walking for a while, Ye Erruo finally saw the legendary water deity.

It was a rather big statue in the shape of a mermaid that was standing quietly in the center of the prayer hall as devotees streamed in with their offerings and prayers.

Crystals could be seen adorning every corner of the temple, including its pillars, which were made of solid crystals.

“What do you wish for, Xiao Ruo? You can offer a prayer to the deity.” Yu Lingfeng passed her a flower.

The woman took the flower from her brother’s hand, but her eyes were roving around the place, seemingly looking for something.

“What are you looking for again? You seem to be really distracted today.”

“This is a beautiful place.” The lady quickly made up an excuse.

“Yes, but that doesn’t mean you should explore it on your own. We have to go back after we finish our prayers.” One could tell that the place was huge with a glimpse.

“Only the temple officials can roam around freely. Everyone else has to leave after offering their prayers.” Her brother reminded her again.

Heaving a sigh, she walked up to the statue, placed the flower before it, and clasped her palms in a prayer-like position to make a wish. Her eyes were closed as she uttered the desire in her heart to herself.

“Sir, I’m sorry, but can you pluck that flower for me, please?”

The man turned around to help the lady at the back after checking on his sister one final time.

Only tarot flowers were acceptable as offerings to the water deity, and these special flowers grew on trees. Most of the devotees who had come early had already taken the flowers on the lower branches, leaving only those that grew on the top branches for the latecomers. This was quite a challenge for short people!

When Ye Erruo turned around after praying, she could not see her elder brother.

More importantly…

She saw that man again. Her heart burst with joy spontaneously!

Mo Jiangye had seized this opportunity to re-appear before his lady.

His penetrating gaze never left her face as he slowly strode up to her, causing her to blush from embarrassment.

“Come over here.” He commanded her stiffly as he moved woodenly toward the corridor on the side.

Bo Yu couldn’t help thinking to himself, Hey, master. You won’t be able to capture your wife’s heart this way.

You did not only just harass her, but you are now commanding her to follow you like a tyrant…

Surely, Young Madam won’t obey your demand…

Unexpectedly, the lady picked up the Mashimaro plushie next to her and started to walk toward the man unconsciously.

She reckoned she was a nutcase by now!

Somehow, she seemed to lose her self-control as she caved to an inert desire to get close to a man she had just met that day for no apparent reason.

Although many people had expressed their liking for her after seeing her, this man had given her a different vibe altogether.

The man twisted and turned along the quiet corridor as he tried his best to lead her away from public view.

He was unsure if she would follow him at first and full of apprehension. It was only when he heard her pattering footsteps behind him that he was able to let go of his fear.

So the adoration I showered her with in the past was not in vain!

At last, they reached a peaceful place where others could not disturb them.

Her interest was piqued as she trailed behind him. Finally, the man turned a corner and halted.

“It’s easy to lure you, isn’t it? Do you follow every man who asks you out? Aren’t you too gullible?” As he spoke, he went up to her and wrapped his coat around her shoulders.

His manly smell made her enter a daze momentarily before she let out a scream in protest and tried to push him away.

This time, the man did not intend to let her go so easily. He caught hold of her shoulders and pinned her to a giant crystal column…
