Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Wife, You’re Awesome

"All done!"

It had taken about an hour.

Ning Mengyao then handed a red string over to Lin Fan.

Thanks to her weaving skills,

the talisman was not only tied very securely,

but it was also adorned with mercury, gold, jade, crystal, cinnabar, giant clamshell, and coral.

Looking at the long list of items,

Lin Fan was stunned.

"This... is it not too complicated... Actually, any old cord would do," he said.

"You don’t know about the Seven Treasures of Taoism, do you? And you say you’re not superstitious?" Ning Mengyao pouted, her face brimming with pride as she watched Lin Fan, "Listen up, according to the classic ’Supreme Laojun’s Daily Scripture,’ there are seven treasures within the human body that enrich the nation and maintain peace, full of essence blood qi. Mercury stands for essence, gold for blood, jade for qi, crystal for marrow, cinnabar for brains, giant clamshell for kidneys, and coral for the heart. These are the seven treasures; when they remain within the body and are refined into the great elixir, they will elevate all spirits to immortality!"

"I’m actually hearing this for the first time," Lin Fan scratched his head and said, "Wife, you’re amazing!"

"Of course, I am. Though I’m not a Taoist, it doesn’t mean I don’t know household matters. Seeing you muddle through obtaining such an item, it’s not from some street swindler, is it? Otherwise, should I pull some strings and have a real Taoist temple make one for you?"

Ning Mengyao looked quite smug.

She hadn’t expected she’d have a chance to display her erudition before Lin Fan.

"You can’t just say anything carelessly. If the person who gave this to me is a swindler, then there are no real Taoists in this world," Lin Fan said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

Mr. Zhang was regarded as the foremost among Taoists, the great Tao to which all paths converge.

If even Mr. Zhang was a fake,

then where would one find a real Taoist?

"As long as you feel you’ve not been deceived, I’m good. Now, I’m going to change," Ning Mengyao stuck out her tongue.

Just as she was about to step out of the study and head back to the bedroom,

she stopped.

"By the way, although our shopping trip was ruined last time, I still picked out a set of clothes. Back then, Linglong and I fancied the same style, and she bought a set for her boyfriend too. It’s in the wardrobe; you can change into it later."

"The exact same... isn’t that going to be a case of wearing matching outfits?" Lin Fan was taken aback.

Luckily, Ning Mengyao had spoken up.

Otherwise, if he accidentally matched outfits one day,

he wouldn’t know how to explain it.

"What’s there to be afraid of? Wearing the same clothes is perfectly normal. Linglong and I often wear the same outfits," Ning Mengyao said, sticking out her tongue.

Then she stepped out of the study.

After Lin Fan put on the amulet,

a vast and ocean-like flow of energy surged forth from the talisman.

"Indeed, a gift from the head of the Taoists packs a different punch," Lin Fan said as he hid it within his clothes.

From the outside, it was completely invisible.

He then stepped out of the study.

Unbeknownst to him, this inconspicuous talisman would prove to be of great use in the future.

"Did you just peek at me while I was bathing?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ning Mengyao turned her head to look at Lin Fan.

"That wasn’t peeking; you told me to change clothes," Lin Fan replied with a pained expression.

He had just finished changing when he caught sight of Ning Mengyao coming out of the bathroom.

He truly hadn’t realized that the bathroom door had been left ajar.

"I told you to change clothes, not to peek at me bathing, you big pervert," Ning Mengyao pouted.

During this period, Lin Fan hadn’t been coming home.

She had gotten used to not locking the bathroom door when taking a bath.

It was only when she noticed the door slightly open that she realized the gap.

"Hey, you’re my wife, so even if I did look, it shouldn’t count as peeking. Besides, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before. In fact, you’ve shown me voluntarily," Lin Fan argued.

Lin Fan truly felt extremely wronged.

He really hadn’t had that intention just now.

Moreover, even if he did look, it was completely aboveboard.

"If you mention the past again, I’ll tear your mouth apart."

Just thinking about that unusual interaction with him in the bathroom back then,

Meng Yao’s face couldn’t help but flush with embarrassment.

Although the two of them did something that shouldn’t have happened the first time they met,

there wasn’t much intimate affection following that.

Several close calls were also spoiled and came to nothing.

"If that kid knew that yesterday’s school beauty had become like this, I wonder if he would still have the guts to chase after you."

Lin Fan said with a bitter smile as he shook his head.

Chu Tianyang probably still didn’t know that the goddess he wanted to pursue tonight,

had already appeared with her husband.

"Are you suggesting I’m very fierce now? Believe it or not, I’ll bite you right now."

Meng Yao rolled her eyes.

However, it’s been a long time since she had such a chat with Lin Fan.

Her mood today was especially good.

An indescribable sweetness

flowed in her heart.

"Biting isn’t a problem, but it’s more comfortable when you separate the word."

Lin Fan suddenly looked at Meng Yao with a mischievous smile on his face.

She was stunned for a moment, but by the time she came to her senses, she was already blushing.

Conversations between husband and wife sometimes need some flavoring.

Laughing and chatting, the car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant.

When Meng Yao, dressed in a black evening gown, stepped out of the car,

she immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

Her already stunningly beautiful face carried an air of nobility.

Her bright eyes radiated a confidence from within,

which made her appear incredibly easygoing.

The one-shoulder evening gown perfectly showcased her exquisite figure.

Her rounded shoulders matched with her collarbones shaped like the curves of wine glasses,

were intoxicating and left people at a loss where to place themselves.

"Meng Yao, long time no see, you’re still so pretty, truly deserving of the title ’high school goddess’ from our class!"

The class monitor, who had been waiting early at the entrance with several female classmates, looked around expectantly.

Upon seeing Meng Yao appear, they immediately swarmed around her.

"Monitor, long time no see."

Meng Yao looked at her former classmates with a smile.

For a moment, her memories were pulled back to those youthful days.

The memories of the past are always unforgettable.

Although their appearances had changed, the warm words still touched everyone’s hearts.

"I’ve heard your company has become one of the hot new stars in Jiangning."

"Meng Yao, you’re a different person now, but don’t forget our old classmate friendship."

"I always said Meng Yao wasn’t just any girl, back then you didn’t believe me, and now it’s proven true."

"Who didn’t believe? Given Meng Yao’s capabilities, I’m afraid it won’t be long before she becomes the richest woman in Jiangning."

Times change, and classmates who used to be peers

now start off with a bunch of worldly flattery.

This made Meng Yao slightly disappointed.

But there was no helping it; a son is honored by his mother, a wife by her husband.

This had become the prevailing mindset.

Since they couldn’t escape convention, she also had to not take it too much to heart.

"Meng Yao, let’s hurry inside. Today’s reunion is personally sponsored by Chu Tianyang, and I’ve heard that the dishes inside are extremely expensive. We are really lucky that our class has produced such a golden couple!"

The class monitor spoke, trying to pull Meng Yao inside.

However, she hesitated.

"I’m sorry, but the golden couple isn’t Chu Tianyang and me because today my husband came with me."
