Chapter 377 - [Bonus ]
The old master c.o.c.ked his head, staring at her with curiosity " you are - this is my first time I heard someone say such a thing to me, you do realise that if you do this, then you will walk down on the same path as your mother. Obsession and possession until madness drove her to death"
Ah, so that"s where he was getting at. Suddenly, Su Wan understood why he said that to her earlier, comparing her to that woman -" you are wrong about my mother, her obsession was blind, mine is not." said Su Wan with such determination that she could feel her teeth crack when she grinded them " I"m not blind, old man...I am not taking what belonged to someone else, I am taking what belongs to me"
" but-"
" you don"t understand do you?" snapped Su Wan " Ah Yan is mine! I was there for him when he cried when he was afraid. I loved him when he couldn"t even bring to love himself, I have been there for him in his darkness, and I am here to help him take to step by step walk out of that place, can you guarantee that - that so-called soul mate of Ah Yan wouldn"t have been disgusted by his past? Yes! She would have been found him disgusting because she was too narrow-minded! That so-called loving relationship in that description of yours is nothing but a facade built on lies and deception. So tell me who deserves him more? I - who still loves him with all his broken pieces? Or that girl who would only love his fake perfection? ?"
" she could have learned if she got the chance-"
" but she didn"t " sneered Su Wan " there is no " ifs" in life old man, and you know that too. I got the chance to love Ah Yan while she couldn"t end of the story"?????ℯ?n?ѵe?. c૦?
" it"s not that easy" the old master shook his head " your husband can see things that no one else can, hear what no one else can hear - do you know why? Because he has always been standing on a firm line that separates him from the dead. Only those who are close to death can see those who walk in the dead of night - the last time when he was saved, someone else exchanged their life for him. Even if that girl never knew of it but she did - so what are you going to give up in exchange for that boy"s life? Believe me when I say he was supposed to die in the hand of the threat that he now escapes from, so what will be it? Will you give up your life or will you stand aside and let the nature take its course?"
Su Wan paused, for a while, she didn"t answer. The old master thought that he has finally one-upped her when -
" my future"
" what?" surprised he couldn"t help but ask.
"My future, no matter where I am and no matter what time it is, I will not exist without him.? Whether I know him or not, whether I meet him or not.? Even if he doesn"t love me in that timeline, I will share my future with him. Everything that goes wrong in his life I will share that burden, and if he dies - I will die too, what about that old man? I will not just name this life to him but every other life as well. For the sake of keeping him alive, I will give my present, past and future to him. What about that? Can that old Su Wan do this? Will she give her future to him?"
The old master stared at her in surprise and could no longer stop himself from smiling " you are one crazy girl do you know that?"
" so you agree right?" asked Su Wan brazenly holding her hand out asking for the red string.
The old master was stunned at her shamelessness but then he laughed, while laughing he knocked his cane on the floor and a person materialised from thin air holding a still cushion with two golden strings on it " this time it will be different because you are willing to share your life with him. You will need a string for yourself as well, once you tie this around your wrist, your fate will be linked to his" the old master paused his laugh and then he added with a solemn expression " but let me warn you girl, once you are tired for eternity, you will never be able to change your fate. You have a fortunate life in your next life, do you really want to exchange it all for him - for them?"
Ads by PubFuture Su Wan took the string from the cushion, examined it for a second but then tied it around her wrist without any hesitation " I wouldn"t change it no matter what"
Then she took the other string from the cushion and bowed to the old master before turning on her heel and walking away.
Once she was away, the aid of the high priest couldn"t help but ask "master are you sure it"s okay?"
" Who knows ?" said the high priest chuckling to himself " the future is ever-changing, maybe it"s alright. Maybe it"s not, but then again we hardly ever receive such crazily determined people, don"t you think it"s fun?"
The aid remained silent, not understanding what to make of the high priest crooked sense of humour.

Somewhere in the future.
" Help!" cried a youngster as he pushed a young man on a stretcher, the young man was covered in blood. His exceptionally cold face was flecked with blood, yet his lips were completely devoid of blood.
" that"s - isn"t that Liu Yanw.a.n.g? That famous critic? What happened to him?"
" He got in an accident. Someone hit his car and ran away, look that"s his young brother - that famous food blogger Liu WenChen"
"What a pity. He was so young"
"Hey, he hasn"t died yet-"
"But look at that blood"
"Shh they will hear you"
Liu WenChen could hear it all but currently, he couldn"t do anything about it. He watched his brother being pushed in the incentive care, and when he caught the glimpse of the doctors, he at once rushed towards them " my brother doctor-"
"We will try our best, please trust us," said the head doctor simply before stepping inside the ICU.
Liu WenChen watched them go and prayed silently to G.o.d, wishing for his second brother"s speedy recovery.
" please G.o.d save my brother-" Liu WenChen opened his eyes once he was done praying and then something caught glittering caught his eyes. Blinking he looked at the woman who was sleeping inside the care unit covered with tubes and machines, she was pale and extremely thin as if malnourished - but the string on her wrist was exceptionally glittery.
Liu WenChen"s eyes flickered to the door plate as he read the name written on it with an unexplainable familiarity " Su Wan ?"
