494 The Secret About the Past 112 (1/2)
”Ms. An, I'm not in a good mood. Thus, I may sound a little impatient. Please don't take it to heart.”
”Tell me your birth characters again. I still remember Mr. Ling's clearly but I've already forgotten yours,” An Xiaoning inquired.
”Alright.” Song Yan then told An Xiaoning her birth characters and timing of birth.
”Ms. Song, you and Mr. Ling don't have a future together. Don't bother clinging onto any hopes of getting back together anymore.”
”Did you only say that because Ciye is dating your sister-in-law?”
Her words had infuriated An Xiaoning, who retorted, ”Since you're so doubtful, why did you even bother looking me up?”
Song Yan was at a loss for words.
”Is it really impossible between us?”
”Yes, impossible.”
”How about him and Jin Qingyue?”
”I'm sorry, but this is a separate matter that I can't divulge. Do you have any more questions pertaining to yourself?” An Xiaoning asked.
”Will I have a blissful marriage in the future?”
An Xiaoning was not sure how she should answer her question. Although she would always speak the truth, she felt that it'd be better to sugar-coat the truth and tell a white lie.
However, she could not risk tarnishing her reputation as an accurate and honest fortune-teller. She began to regret her decision to read Song Yan's fortune. She would have turned her down straight away had she known earlier.
”The definition of a blissful marriage is different for everyone. What's considered a blissful marriage to you?”
”Of course I'd want a husband who dotes on me and happy, adorable children of our own,” Song Yan answered.
An Xiaoning avoided disclosing the harsh truth and answered tactfully, ”You'll have a husband and children.”
”Is it… not going to be blissful?” Song Yan asked, seemingly sensing that something was amiss.
”It's not too bad, but it won't be your ideal marriage.”
”Can I alter my fate?” Song Yan asked dejectedly.
”Alter your fate? There's no definite answer to that. Some may succeed while others fail no matter how hard they try. It all depends on the individual.”
”Could you help me alter my fate then?”
”Which aspect would you like to tweak?” An Xiaoning asked.
”I want to continue being in a relationship with Ciye.”
An Xiaoning was speechless, flabbergasted by her absurdity. ”I've heard about your relationship with him before as well as the countless times you've broken up and reconciled over and over again. Ms. Song, I suggest you stop dragging this on stubbornly,” said An Xiaoning.
After pondering for a while, Song Yan said, ”I don't think I'm going to act in accordance with what fate has in store for me. But anyway, thank you for your time today.”
An Xiaoning stood up at the same time as her and said, ”Goodbye.”
An Xiaoning was merely being tactful with her words earlier. In fact, Song Yan was not destined to lead a blissful life. Sometimes, it is true that one's personality decides his or her fate.
As soon as she exited the main entrance, she was greeted with the sight of Jin Qingyue, who hurried toward her and asked, ”Sis-in-law, was that Song Yan?”
”Yes, she came to have her fortune told.”
”Did you do it for her?”
”Yes, but not for free. She paid me a million dollars.”
”Sis-in-law, what did she ask about?” Jin Qingyue asked softly.
”She asked about her future marriage prospects and whether she would have a blissful marriage. I avoided breaking the cold hard truth to her and instead answered her vaguely. But, she indicated her interest in altering her fate. From the looks of it, she's planning to marry Mr. Ling.”
”Sis-in-law, is it really possible to alter one's fate?” Jin Qingyue asked worriedly.
”It works for some, but there are also those whose painstaking efforts end up being futile. She seems very determined to succeed though. But then again, everyone wants to lead a joyous life. She asked me to help her alter her fate, but I didn't agree to it. However, I think it's very likely that she'll seek the help of another fortune-teller. Qingyue…”
”Hmm?”
