Pei Yan's sudden appearance made Mei Wanying want to leave the temple immediately.
She was determined to descend the mountain at the crack of dawn the next day.
It's said that climbing a mountain is easier than descending it. Mei Wanying was pregnant and hadn't rested well the night before, so walking down the mountain would be no easy feat.
Yet she insisted on leaving.
Seeing her red and slightly swollen eyelids, as if she had been crying, Gu Xun's heart leaped into his throat again.
'Is she worried about my cousin?'
At this thought, a sour feeling washed over Gu Xun.
For a fleeting moment, he even thought, 'How wonderful would it be if my cousin never woke up?'
"Ms. Mei, the abbot has arranged for a sedan chair to take you down the mountain."
When praying for blessings at a temple, sincerity is what counts, so pilgrims usually descend the mountain on foot as a show of devotion.
But Mei Wanying was pregnant, so it was only natural for her to receive special consideration.
