My Taoist nun girlfriend is from the Republic of China era, 1942.

Chapter 105 Parting
The tip of her pink tongue peeked out and gently drew a circle on her lips, as if savoring something delicious.

Her movements were slow, carrying a pure, seductive air.

Lu Yuan froze on the sofa.

Before her were a pair of alluring, seductive eyes, yet they were filled with an innocent naiveté. She tilted her head slightly and stared straight at him.

This girl... does she even know what she's doing?
"you……"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath: "Where did you learn all this nonsense?"

Chen Xiaomiao blinked, looking completely innocent, as if she had no idea how destructive her actions had been.

"It's what I learned before."

"Before? When?"

"When I was six years old, my mother almost sold me into a brothel."

Chen Xiaomiao recalled: "I stayed there for almost half a month. The aunties and sisters in the brothel always liked to tease me, saying that I was a born seductress and that I would definitely become the top courtesan in the future."

They taught me some things, saying they would be very useful in the future.

Lu Yuan felt a pang in his heart upon hearing this, and his newly ignited anger was instantly extinguished by a bucket of ice water.

Amidst the mix of laughter and tears, there was also a deep, inexplicable heartache.

"Do you still remember what happened when you were six?"

"I don't know what happened either."

Chen Xiaomiao scratched her cheek sheepishly: "I don't remember much about other things, but I remember these things very clearly."

Looking at that innocent yet alluring appearance, Lu Yuan sighed deeply in his heart.

Master was right, this girl is definitely a born vixen!
Lu Yuan replied dismissively, "Alright, alright, we can discuss this another time."

"Oh……"

Chen Xiaomiao nodded obediently, patted her skirt, stood up, and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Lu Yuan, go downstairs and buy two bottles of beer. I learned how to make beer duck on Douyin today, and I'll make it for you tonight."

"Row."

Lu Yuan was happy to go out for some fresh air and clear his head.

Arriving at the convenience store at the entrance of the residential area, Lu Yuan took two bottles of beer from the freezer and went straight to the cashier.

"A total of twenty-two."

Lu Yuan was about to scan the code to pay when he caught a glimpse of the colorful little boxes next to the counter.

He paused for a moment, then reached out and took a box, tossing it onto the counter along with the beer.

Chen Xiaomiao just said that the matter of "having a baby" should be put on hold.

Does that mean—as long as no one dies, it's fine?
Nowadays, people emphasize scientific methods for preparing for pregnancy.

If you really want to have a child, you need to prepare your body several months in advance.

When I got home, the kitchen was filled with the sizzling sound of stir-frying.

Chen Xiaomiao, wearing an apron, was flipping a large ladle with great flair.

Lu Yuan handed over the beer, silently returned to his room, opened the bedside table, and stuffed the box of stuff he had just bought into the innermost compartment.

Whether we need it or not is another matter.

In short... it's better to be prepared!
……

That afternoon, Lu Yuan stayed in his study as usual, listening to Lü Lei report on his recent asset situation via video call.

"Overall, the returns on the major investment projects are relatively stable, mainly because..."

Lu Lei's voice was clear and efficient. As he was about to finish, he seemed to remember something and added, "By the way, boss, one of Mr. Chen's old friends in France just passed away early this morning."

The family has sent a message requesting that you attend the funeral in person.

Lu Yuan asked, "Is it very important?"

"Very important."

Lü Lei nodded: "This old gentleman is a very important partner of ours abroad, and we have a series of in-depth cooperation to discuss with his son later."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, send me the other party's information and arrange the itinerary as well."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, a detailed document appeared on Lu Yuan's tablet.

The other person was a Frenchman named Martin Robert.

The information shows that the other party was among the first group of students to come to China after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and was studying Chinese language and literature at the Capital University.

At that time, Chen Shu was his teacher, and the two corresponded frequently, exchanging letters constantly.

Lu Yuan was looking at the documents when the study door was gently pushed open a crack, and Chen Xiaomiao peeked in with her little head.

"Are you done with your work yet?"

"Almost done, come in."

Chen Xiaomiao walked in carrying a plate of cut fruit, picked up a piece and fed it to Lu Yuan, glancing curiously at the tablet before exclaiming, "Hey!" "Isn't that... that foreigner named Robert?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback and looked up at her: "You know him?"

Chen Xiaomiao shook her head and pointed to the photo next to her: "I don't recognize the younger one, but I recognize the older one."

That group photo of five people in our temple was taken by this guy named Robert. He even gave me candy back then.

Lu Yuan looked in the direction she was pointing, and there stood Martin Robert's father—Pierre Robert.

Good guy!
They're still old acquaintances and family friends...

Lu Yuan closed the tablet, having already made up his mind.

He looked up, and Chen Xiaomiao once again picked up a slice of apple and brought it to his lips, waiting for him to open his mouth.

Lu Yuan didn't eat, and sighed, "Xiao Miao, I might have to go on a long trip."

Chen Xiaomiao's hand, which was holding an apple, froze in mid-air, and the smile on her face faded a little.

"Where have you been all alone?"

"I'll go abroad and come back in a few days."

He originally planned to take Chen Xiaomiao with him so that the girl could see the outside world and avoid being afraid of foreign things in the future.

But then I thought, after all, it's a funeral, not a sightseeing trip.

Bringing along Chen Xiaomiao, who lacks modern common sense and is old-fashioned, actually caused a lot of inconvenience.

Chen Xiaomiao stuffed the apple into her mouth and chewed it in small bites, clearly not very happy.

"Oh……"

"Are you alright being home alone by yourself?"

"Go ahead without worry!"

Chen Xiaomiao patted her chest, looking confident: "I'm not a three-year-old child, how could I lose myself? I'm here to look after the family, and I have Erbaiwu to keep me company, nothing will happen! You go and do the proper things a man should do."

She spoke with such self-righteousness, as if it were only natural for Lu Yuan to go out and earn money while she stayed home to look after the house.

The next day, Lü Lei efficiently helped Lu Yuan complete all the visa and procedures.

At the airport, Chen Xiaomiao stayed by Lu Yuan's side like a mother hen, constantly nagging him.

"When you're out there alone, make sure you eat and drink well. Don't eat cold things all the time, they'll upset your stomach."

And also, those foreigners, they're all very cunning and wicked, you have to be careful not to get scammed.”

Lu Yuan was both amused and exasperated. He pinched her cheek and said, "That Robert is also a foreigner, and he even gave you candy. Why didn't you say that?"

"There are always exceptions!"

Chen Xiaomiao pouted, sticking to her opinion.

"In short, be careful when you're out and about. Don't flaunt your wealth, and don't chat with strangers..."

In her memory, when Chen Xiaoshu and his comrades went down the mountain to fight the Japanese, their master kept repeating the same thing.

"Know it……"

Lu Yuan ruffled her hair, then turned and walked into the security checkpoint.

Chen Xiaomiao stood on tiptoe until Lu Yuan's figure completely disappeared into the crowd before reluctantly turning her gaze away.

Back in the car, Chen Xiaomiao still looked absent-minded.

Song Jia started the car and comforted him, "Alright, don't look like you've lost your soul. Your man is away on a business trip for a few days, he'll be back soon."

Chen Xiaomiao nodded, but she still felt uneasy and empty inside.

This was the first time she had ever been separated from Lu Yuan...

Song Jia simply suggested, "If you're really worried, I'll go with you to Baiyun Temple tomorrow to pray to the Bodhisattva and ask for a peace charm for Lu Yuan."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Chen Xiaomiao's eyes lit up.

Why worship any Buddha? She's a Taoist priest; she can calculate things herself!

She immediately closed her eyes, muttered incantations, and her right hand fingers flew across her left palm, calculating rapidly.

Song Jia, who was standing to the side, watched her rambling actions with curiosity but did not disturb her.

A moment later, Chen Xiaomiao suddenly opened her eyes, her brows instantly furrowing into a knot.

"What's wrong?" Song Jia keenly noticed that her complexion was off. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"fine."

Chen Xiaomiao shook her head, turned to look at the street scene rushing past outside the window, and muttered to herself.

Romantic luck?
Chen Xiaomiao bit her lower lip, and an idea popped into her mind uncontrollably.

Lu Yuan... could he be planning to bring back a blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman?
