Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 59 Pear Orchard

"The pear blossoms at Lingyin Temple are in full bloom. Noble people often pick them to make rouge. If you are interested, you may pick some. However, outsiders say that the pear blossoms are tainted by the pure aura of Buddhism, and they feel guilty after picking them. You can add some incense money before you leave to make up for it."

Xu Qingmeng secretly admired the little monk for being able to make asking for money sound so respectable; in modern times, he would definitely be a sales genius.

"If we can pick them, we'll add some money for sesame oil."

The young monk smiled and said, "After you finish your meal, please go and take a look."

After a simple meal, the group left the dining hall and headed towards the back mountain.

In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling the ground and creating patches of light.

The pear blossoms swayed gently in the breeze, and occasionally a few petals drifted down, dancing in the air like snowflakes.

Pear blossoms, heavy with snow, adorn the branches; orioles sing, and willow branches, delicate as golden threads, sing.

"Mother, sister-in-law, this place is so beautiful!"

Yun Sheng ran happily ahead, chasing after the falling pear petals, which was quite beautiful.

Mrs. He said with a smile, "Slow down, watch your step, don't bump into anyone."

Yun Sheng's laughter was melodious and pleasant: "No, Mother."

As she talked, she ran even faster. Mrs. He was worried and hurriedly chased after her, calling out to her.

Only Xu Qingmeng and two others remained. Xu Qingmeng, carrying a small basket, began picking fresh pear blossoms.

The pear tree wasn't tall, and she was of medium height. She could easily reach out and hook a bunch of branches. Her slender hands intertwined with the snow-white pear blossoms, and then she gently picked them off, a faint smile on her lips.

Gu Yunyi's lips unconsciously curled up; at this moment, he only wanted to capture this scene in a painting.

Yunmo suddenly tugged at Gu Yunyi's sleeve and whispered, "Big brother, I need to use the restroom."

Gu Yunyi sighed helplessly; this brat really knows how to pick his timing.

"Let's go, I'll take you there," Gu Yunyi said helplessly.

He walked over and told Xu Qingmeng, who nodded, "Okay, I'll pick flowers here and wait for you."

"Then be careful, and if anyone is there, shout for me."

Xu Qingmeng laughed, but said helplessly, "Am I some kind of ignorant child? Do you think I could be kidnapped?"

Gu Yunyi coughed twice and then left with Yunmo.

A moment later, a figure walked towards the pear grove, standing quietly not far away, watching the person who was single-mindedly picking flowers, his eyes filled with a man's deep affection for a woman.

Xu Qingmeng didn't notice at first, but suddenly, a breeze blew by, and pear petals fell with the wind, like a snow-white rain.

She spread her arms and twirled around like a child. Turning her head, she saw the man who had saved her that day standing there looking at her with that same undisguised gaze. She was quite surprised.

"Young master? What brings you here?"

"I was just passing by when I saw this scene and couldn't help but stop. I wonder if you still remember me?" Lin Yichen withdrew his gaze and spoke slowly, his voice gentle and warm, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

He never expected to meet her at Lingyin Temple, especially in this way.

Xu Qingmeng smiled calmly: "Of course, I will never forget how you saved me from suffering that day." Lin Yichen chuckled and looked at Xu Qingmeng with tenderness, saying: "You flatter me, Miss. It was nothing more than a small favor that day."

Xu Qingmeng: "I was in such a hurry that day, I don't know how to address you, sir?"

"My name is Lin Yichen. I never expected that we would meet here again after that day. It is truly fate."

Xu Qingmeng smiled slightly, but still maintained a proper distance.

Lin Yichen did not appear in the original book.

Now that books have become living, breathing lives, and the plot has become more detailed, she can no longer rely entirely on books as a reference.

For her, this was no longer just a book, no longer just a two-dimensional character, but a real world.

Lin Yichen smiled slightly, a warm and reserved smile, like the gentle sunshine of spring—neither dazzling nor cold, just right to inspire goodwill.
Her gaze lingered on Xu Qingmeng. Although Xu Qingmeng had never been in a relationship before, she had seen it all, even if she hadn't eaten pork. She had read quite a few novels, and even if she was oblivious, she could still see some of the signs.

Xu Qingmeng was also stunned. She never expected this to happen. In fact, she thought that even if she and Gu Yunyi were not together in the future, she had no intention of getting married again.

Lin Yichen seemed to notice Xu Qingmeng's unusual behavior and quickly looked away.

The atmosphere between the two became somewhat awkward, so Xu Qingmeng stopped talking and turned back to continue picking flowers, trying to ease the tension.

Peach petals danced lightly in the wind, with a few occasionally landing in her hair and on her shoulders, adding to her gentle beauty.

Seeing this, Lin Yichen said softly, "The young lady and the pear blossoms complement each other beautifully, it's quite lovely."

Xu Qingmeng's cheeks flushed slightly as she softly thanked him, "Young Master Lin, you flatter me. The beauty of the flower is beyond human capability."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, bringing an even stronger fragrance of pear blossoms. Lin Yichen did not say anything more, but just stood there quietly, his gaze occasionally falling on Xu Qingmeng, and then quickly looking away, as if he was restraining something.

He then asked, "Miss, what do you think of me?"

Xu Qingmeng was stunned, clearly not expecting Lin Yichen to ask such a direct question.

“Young Master Lin, I am already married, and my husband treats me very well, as does I.”

Lin Yichen heard this, and although he already knew, it was still so painful to hear her say it.

Although Xu Qingmeng was very grateful to him for saving her that day, he was just a savior. Although she might not be with Gu Yunyi in the future, she had no intention of being with anyone else.

After Xu Qingmeng finished speaking, she picked up the basket in her hand and left.

Lin Yichen watched Xu Qingmeng's impatient departure and couldn't help but want to stop her, but he felt it was inappropriate.

"Young Master Lin."

Gu Yunyi walked over slowly, his feet lightly treading on the fallen flowers.

Gu Yunyi stopped in front of him, his lips slightly raised: "Brother Lin, I am very grateful for saving my wife that day, but just now, I wonder if you heard clearly that my wife and I are in love with each other. I hope you will not do such a thing in the future and forget about it as soon as possible."

Lin Yichen stared intently at him: "If I can't forget, and I don't want to let go, what can you do to me?"

Gu Yunyi chuckled, a gloomy look flashing across his eyes, and the corners of his lips curved into a cold arc, instantly exuding a chilling aura.

“The Lin family is incredibly powerful, and I am naturally powerless to resist them. However, I will do everything in my power to stop them. After all, Brother Lin may not care about a woman's reputation, but I will certainly not let my wife suffer from gossip.”
