Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Chapter 216 Like a dream but not a dream

Qian Duoduo was taken to Putuo Temple by her mother. During this time, her mother could tell that she had something on her mind.

She brought Qian Duoduo to the temple so that she could let go of her resentment and start a new life.

Putuo Temple was packed with people, practically shoulder to shoulder. Qian Duoduo and Qian's mother got separated as soon as they entered the temple.

Qian Duoduo followed the crowd to the main hall and shook his head helplessly as he looked at the devout believers kneeling there in prayer.

She looked up at the Buddha statue, said nothing, and went to a less crowded area.

Perhaps she should believe in God, but her education tells her she should adhere to atheism. But was everything she experienced just a dream?

Feeling melancholy, she walked step by step to the backyard of the temple with her head down.

“Benefactor, you may not enter this place.”

A young monk stopped Qian Duoduo at the door, preventing her from continuing forward.

Qian Duoduo then came to her senses, apologized to the little monk, and prepared to leave.

"Don't be in a hurry, young lady."

An old voice came from inside, causing Qian Duoduo to stop in his tracks.

The young monk looked inside with a puzzled expression, knowing it was his master's voice.

"Let her in."

Last night, the host observed the celestial phenomena. Although the sky was obscured by dark clouds, a bright star could still be vaguely seen, surrounded by five other stars.

These stars all appeared this month, and the accompanying asteroids are becoming increasingly dim.

So, he did something unprecedented and cast a divination, and the result was indeed different from what one would expect.

However, due to his attempt to peek into the secrets of heaven, his body became quite weak, and he has been recuperating in the backyard ever since.

He knew she would come today, so he waited for her.

Qian Duoduo followed the little monk and wandered around until they arrived at the abbot's tea room.

Qian Duoduo had just sat down and hadn't even spoken when the host stroked his gray beard and replied, "Like a dream, yet not a dream."

Qian Duoduo froze on the spot. This... she had indeed wanted to ask about the time she was unconscious.

She murmured silently to herself, as if in a dream.

Could it be that her aversion to them was genuine, and that she really did spend time with them?

"Master, I..." Can I still go back?

The host looked up, his eyes deep and mysterious, and slowly began to speak, “Everything is preordained, cherish the present.”

Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo's mood instantly sombered. The host's words, as she translated them, meant to say, "Live your life well now; there's no going back."

However, the host meant to emphasize the importance of cherishing the present, because once you go to another place, you won't have the same opportunity again.

Qian Duoduo left the host's office in a daze and ran into her mother.

Looking at Qian Duoduo, whose condition had worsened, Qian's mother felt a pang of unease. Bringing her to Putuo Temple this time seemed to have been a mistake.

Seeing her seemingly detached from her body, she let out a long sigh, but quickly put on a smile again. She couldn't put too much pressure on Duoduo.

That very night, Qian Duoduo fell into a coma, and it wasn't until the next morning that her mother discovered it.

In the emergency room, the machine suddenly beeped, and Qian Duoduo's heartbeat and blood oxygen levels stopped fluctuating.

Qian's mother held Qian Duoduo's hand quietly. She knew that Duoduo must have gone through something, because she could clearly feel that Duoduo had become more mature and sentimental.

These days, although Duoduo wears a smile, you can tell she's not happy and has something on her mind.

Now she only hopes that Duoduo can be happy in another world and take good care of herself.

A tear from Qian's mother slid down onto the back of Qian Duoduo's hand.

Meanwhile, Li Mo'er was discovered by Li Lin for forcibly harassing respectable men on the street. In a fit of anger, he knocked her unconscious and took her back to the Shen residence.

She asked Shen San to inform Wang Jingmo and ask him to come and take a look.

At first, Wang Jingmo thought that Li Mo'er was up to her old tricks again, as she had used similar methods to deceive him before.

Before he could refuse, Shen San recounted the events that had occurred on the street to Wang Jingmo.

Knowing that Li Mo'er had been knocked unconscious by Li Lin, Wang Jingmo immediately grabbed his medical kit and rushed to the Shen residence with Shen San. He was still worried about that body, but for now it was just a physical injury.
