129 Chapter 129 : Fortune-telling (2/2)

She can't do it. She might confront him later after they meet the shaman.

Hongqi snorted at her wicked remarks.

It's a sunny afternoon and the cloudless sky made everything brighter inside the monastery.

They visited a lot of temples in Kyoto but they never had a fortune-telling session due to her excitement of venturing all of them. This time, she wanted to do one before they leave the country.

The walls inside the waiting room are colored in deep red with different talismans,  religious scriptures, and a huge divine statue at the very back of the table.

”Who told you about this monastery?” Xiulan whispers next to Hongqi.

Hongqi looks at his wife, ”A good business partner of mine told me about this. They said that the high-monk here can predict accurately.”

”I didn't know you believe in stuff like this.”

”Not really. Since we are here, why not we try it?” he smiled at her and held her hand tightly. Hongqi is not the type to believe in superstitious stuff but it's not bad to get their fortune-telling either.

The high-monk finally arrived and his benevolent aura made the whole room to have good energy.

”A good friend of mine said that an important figure will come here to visit me today. Nice to meet the Xing couple.” the high-monk greeted the couple and made his way to his huge cushion pillow with detailed embroidery designed on it.

”I am sure that you are not here for wealth-related fortune-telling, no?” the high-monk inquired while he lights a thick red candle.

”Well...” Xiulan is not sure how to answer that since she doesn't know either what to ask the monk.

”Yes. We got married a year ago and our traditional wedding happened months ago. I would like to know more about our marriage.” Hongqi inquired and he's determined to know more. If they are not compatible, then he will do his best to make them compatible and make this marriage work.

”I see. You seem to be an enthusiastic husband.” the high-monk smiled and took a piece of paper. He quickly wrote something on the paper with a brush. ”When are your birthdays? Please write them on this paper.”

The couple took the paper and brush. They wrote their birth date on it and gave it back to the monk.

The high-monk read what they wrote and he can't help but mutter a disapproving remark. ”Oh! Your zodiac signs are not compatible.”

The Xing couple flinched at the same time from the high monk's remarks.

”Oh boy… here it goes.” Xiulan subconsciously thought. She already expects that she's going to hear very saddening stuff from today's agenda.

Hongqi didn't say anything but his adam's apple moved and he looks like he wants to scold the old monk.

”Though your zodiac signs are not compatible, we can do something about that. But first let me burn this.” The monk folded the piece of paper and burnt the four sides of the folded paper.

He murmurs inaudibly while he held the paper. Eventually, he blows hard on the paper and all the burnt dust scattered over the table. He opens the paper again and he made another not so good remarks.

”Ah… This is not good. It seems that you will have a bumpy marriage life. The two of you have incompatible traits and overall personality. But the two of you are soulmates. Even though everything is incompatible, there is something that will bind the two of you together. Whatever happens, problems will be solved as long as the two of you work together on it. The only problem is when one falls out of love, it'll be the end of it.”

The monk gave a meaningful look at Hongqi. ”Young man, do you love your wife?”

Hongqi, who hasn't even confessed yet, was suddenly asked by this kind of question.

”This damn monk, let me confess first before you ask that.” he sweated and he's not sure if he should answer that. What if his wife thinks that he's lying because he never said it to her before!
