Ji Shunuan followed the man's fingertips and looked slowly upwards, finally her gaze fell on the side of the man's neck. The collar of the man's shirt was slightly open.

Below his clearly defined collarbone, one could vaguely see a long scar on his chest.

She wanted to lower her eyes to see clearly, but found that Bo Jingcheng suddenly woke up.

"Hiss." The man groaned.

He subconsciously reached out and grabbed her wrist, as if he thought she would disappear. The man's strength was quite strong, and Ji Shunuan's wrist was tightly grasped by him. She looked at his bony fingertips and did not struggle.

"Awake?" Ji Shunuan asked in a low voice.

Bo Jingcheng looked a little dazed. He looked up and saw that he had fallen asleep on Ji Shunuan's shoulder without knowing when.

There was a hint of disbelief in the man's eyes, and even he himself found it ridiculous.

"Why did I fall asleep?" Bo Jingcheng had just woken up, his voice hoarse but with some magnetism.

Ji Shunuan leaned over there, rubbed his sore shoulders, smiled faintly, and said, "Are you exhausted? It seems that you haven't slept well for a long time."

Most people think that rich people can do whatever they want.

But they don’t know that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Sometimes people who are rich and powerful cannot take care of themselves in many things. They need a bigger picture to support them. The responsibilities they carry are heavier than those of ordinary people.

Bo Jingcheng is such an example. Others only see the glamour and beauty of the Bo family, but they are unaware of the responsibilities and obligations behind them.

"You can put me down." Bo Jingcheng said in a deep voice.

He put his hands on her shoulders and rubbed them gently for her a few times.

Ji Shunuan was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She quickly stood up, stretched herself, and said, "That's not necessary. This is the first time I've seen you sleeping so soundly."

Seeing that she was in good condition, Bo Jingcheng slowly let go of the worry in his heart.

He stood up and walked behind her. They walked out of the bedroom side by side and stood in the quiet courtyard. They could faintly hear the sound of someone chanting. The air was filled with the smell of incense, which was particularly pleasant.

"Have you been here before?" Ji Shunuan asked, tilting his head.

Although she grew up in Jincheng, this was her first time here.

"I accompanied my grandmother here several times before. My mother was still alive at that time. Every New Year's Day, after paying New Year's greetings, our whole family would come here to burn incense and donate money to the temple." Bo Jingcheng said in a hoarse voice.

Ji Shunuan was somewhat curious about these things.

"What will the donated money be used for?" Ji Shunuan asked in a low voice.

The monks in the temple seem to all have salaries, and the Bo family is absolutely generous, so is this money used for charity or for other purposes?

Bo Jingcheng walked out side by side with her, and he slowed down his pace as quickly as possible to stay by her side.

"Every day, many guests come to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. The incense they burn is all purchased by the Bo family, so they only need to use it when they come here, without having to spend extra money to buy it."

"In addition, all the vegetarian meals in the temple are paid for by the Bo family, and tourists can eat for free when they come to the temple."

"In addition, the annual maintenance and upkeep of the temples requires money."

Bo Jingcheng gave examples and gave a general idea.

Ji Shunuan followed him quietly, listening to him patiently, and then she suddenly realized.

"I am short-sighted. I thought there was no need to pay any fees in the temple. But according to what you said, the daily incense money and three vegetarian meals a day in the temple are all considerable expenses." Ji Shunuan said in a low voice.

She had never known about the donations made by the Bo family. She only knew that the Bo family had their own charity fund to help poor families.

"You will know it after you have more contact with it." Bo Jingcheng said in a hoarse voice.

He led her around to a side hall, where a monk was chanting. When he saw Bo Jingcheng, he hurried forward and respectfully called out, "Donor Bo."

"I'm here to burn some incense for my mother." Bo Jingcheng said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the monk immediately understood and turned around to lead them inside.

Bo Jingcheng walked aside, washed his palms, took the handkerchief and wiped the water droplets on his fingertips. Seeing this, Ji Shunuan hurriedly followed him and wiped his hands.

"This is my wife Ji Shunuan." Bo Jingcheng introduced in a hoarse voice.

Upon hearing this, the monk quickly bowed to her and said, "Mrs. Bo, welcome."

Ji Shunuan nodded at him and followed Bo Jingcheng forward. When she saw the Buddha's image, she felt dazed.

"Everyone in the Bo family will light the eternal lamp at this time." Bo Jingcheng said, he took the incense and handed it to Ji Shunuan, then helped her walk forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Ancestors, I, your grandson Bo Jingcheng, have come here today with my wife Ji Shunuan to burn incense." Bo Jingcheng said in a hoarse voice.

Seeing this, Ji Shunuan also followed him and bowed three times.

The monk followed them, took the incense from their hands and put it in the incense burner.

Ji Shunuan stared at the tablet above and vaguely heard Bo Jingcheng talking to the monk. She turned her head and saw him asking, "Have you paid enough for the temple recently?"

"It's enough. The Bo family has always taken good care of our temple, and the expenses are sufficient. Now it seems that there will be some left over today." The monk said in a low voice.

Bo Jingcheng listened and nodded slightly.

"Okay, if it's not enough, just tell me when the time comes." Bo Jingcheng said, and walked out with Ji Shunuan.

Ji Shunuan had just taken two steps when the monk suddenly glanced at her and whispered, "Mrs. Bo, please stay."

"What?" Ji Shunuan was called. She was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She was not used to being called Mrs. Bo. If she didn't know that there were only herself and Bo Jingcheng here, she wouldn't even dare to stop.

The monk walked forward respectfully, stood in front of her, and looked her up and down.

"Has Mrs. Bo been having nightmares or other symptoms recently?" the monk asked in a low voice.

Ji Shunuan was a little surprised, and quickly turned her head to look at Bo Jingcheng. They nodded slightly, and Bo Jingcheng said: "She was indeed haunted by a nightmare last night. Is there any way to solve it?"

The monk listened, then he turned and walked aside.

After sitting down, he motioned for Ji Shunuan to come forward and said, "Mrs. Bo, please come forward and sit down."

Ji Shunuan did not dare to be negligent in this sacred place, and immediately strode forward and sat on the chair.

"Please stretch out your hand," the monk continued.

Ji Shunuan was a little confused, but still stretched out her hand, but he held it tightly. The monk lowered his eyes and glanced at her palm, then dipped his fingertips in the cinnabar beside him and touched her fingertips.

Then he drew a Taoist talisman out of thin air on her hand. Ji Shunuan felt uneasy when she heard him chanting a spell.

"Do you know your birth date? Can you tell me?" the monk continued.

Ji Shunuan quickly told the monk her date of birth. After hearing this, the monk was silent for a long while but did not let go of her little hand.
