ire felt a moment of hesitation in her heart. She believed it was inappropriate for her mother to seek blessings from Buddha for the live broadcast, especially since she hadn’t been to thepany in a while and was eager to return and check things out.


    So she suggested to ine, “Mom, why not have Charlie apany you?”


    ine looked a bit embarrassed and replied, “Oh, ire… you should really go with me. I feel too awkward asking your good son-inw toe along. It wouldn’t be right for him to have any say about it… Besides, it’s difficult for me to walk right now, and I need crutches. It wouldn’t be suitable for your good son-inw to support me…”


    “Also, I don’t want him or your father to know that we’re going together. If it doesn’t work out, we can leave early. We’ll head out at seven and should arrive by half-past seven. After I pray, you can get to work by nine-thirty. That should give you enough time to make it to thepany, right?”


    To ine, Charlie had be the backbone of the family, and she didn’t want to take up his patience with matters like live streaming. She felt she could handle it, but she preferred to keep it under wraps until it was sessful. The thought of failing after letting others know was simply too embarrassing.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    After facing difficulties during the live broadcast premiere that evening, ine wanted to visit Qixia Temple to pray for Buddha’s blessings. However, she worried that Charlie might think less of her if he went along.


    She was fully aware that her recent trip to America had caused Charlie a lot of trouble due to her mistakes.


    Understanding her mother’s concerns, ire felt both helpless and determined to support her mother in maintaining a positive self-image. The situation was not particrly dignified.


    With a softened heart, she finally agreed, “Alright, let’s leave early tomorrow.”


    …


    At this time, in Zijin Vi, the entire mountain was enveloped in darkness. Although the courtyard on the third floor had some dim lights, the dense trees obscured most of the light from outside.


    On the top floor of Zijin Vi, Lin Wan’er (ni) was gracefully breaking apart fresh rose petals floating in the hot spring pool, creating gentle ripples on the water’s surface.


    With her stunning figure, she stepped carefully onto the stone steps in the water and made her way to the bluestone beside the hot spring.<fn0947> Content originallyes from find?novel</fn0947>


    At her feet, a bronze incense burner held a te of sandalwood incense, which was slowly burning, releasing a refreshing woody aroma into the air.


    Lin Wan’er (ni) took her time wrapping herself in a bathrobe. She squatted down slightly, picked up the incense burner with both hands, and returned to her room.


    After bathing and lighting the incense, Lin Wan’er (ni) donned a clean, simple robe, gently pulled her long hair back, and retrieved a satin-wrapped object from her carry-on bag.


    She carefully unwrapped the silk, revealing a wooden que brought from Northern Europe, which bore the spirit tablet of herte father, Lin Zhulu.


    With great respect, she ced the spiritual tablet on the altar, lit three more sticks of incense, and performed three respectful bows before inserting the incense into the burner positioned in front of the tablet.


    Then, kneeling down, she looked at the tablet and spoke reverently, “Father, Wan’er has safely arrived in Aurous Hill and has been fortunate enough to find the person she was searching for. You always wanted to visit Qixia Mountain in Aurous Hill to honor our ancestors, but you never had the chance. Tomorrow, I will go to Qixia Mountain to pay my respects to the Lin family ancestors. I hope your spirit in heaven will be aware of this!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
