"Hubby!" Chu Ri Huaizhu paced over. Seeing Wang Quan Ba Ye so engrossed in his sword - practice that he seemed oblivious to everything, she felt a bit reluctant to interrupt him.
Hearing Chu Ri Huaizhu's voice, Wang Quan Ba Ye stopped and turned around.
"Huaizhu, your belly is so big. Why didn't you let the maids follow you?" Wang Quan Ba Ye said with concern.
"I'm fine. Look at me. I can still be lively and energetic." Chu Ri Huaizhu said as she turned around to show Wang Quan Ba Ye.
Wang Quan Ba Ye stood beside her and supported her, fearing that she might accidentally trip.
"By the way, I came to talk to you about something. Do you believe in fate?" Chu Ri Huaizhu looked up, staring into Wang Quan Ba Ye's eyes.
"Of course I do. Look at our encounter and the result we have now. Isn't it all fate?"
"There's a magical place in this world. There's a big tree there. If two truly - in - love people make a wish to it, they can meet again in the next life." Chu Ri Huaizhu said excitedly, her eyes full of hope.
Wang Quan Ba Ye helped Chu Ri Huaizhu sit down on the side. "Is there really such a magical place in the world?" Wang Quan Ba Ye looked puzzled. He still didn't believe in the matter of reincarnation.
"Of course it's true. Otherwise, how could we have met out of the blue? That was the promise we made under the Tree of Heartbreak in our previous life! Don't you really remember?" Chu Ri Huaizhu had a sudden inspiration. Seeing Wang Quan Ba Ye's skeptical look, she could only make up a reason.
Wang Quan Ba Ye scratched his head. "I... I don't seem to remember this. Really, not the slightest impression."
"Hubby, do you trust me?" Chu Ri Huaizhu stared at him.
"Of course I trust you. You're my wife after all." Wang Quan Ba Ye said with a smile.
"If you trust me, why don't you believe what I say? Or do you not love me that much in your heart?" Chu Ri Huaizhu pretended to be angry.
Seeing Chu Ri Huaizhu angry, Wang Quan Ba Ye was instantly flustered and didn't know how to console her.
"I, Wang Quan Ba Ye, swear to the sky that if I have any insincere actions towards Chu Ri Huaizhu, then..." Wang Quan Ba Ye could only think of swearing a poisonous oath to prove himself for a moment.
Just as he was about to say his punishment, Chu Ri Huaizhu reached out and covered his mouth. She already knew Wang Quan Ba Ye's feelings for her.
"So do you believe me now? I just want to meet you again in the next life and be with you for a lifetime." Chu Ri Huaizhu said very emotionally.
"Huaizhu, I believe you. But such a place must be far away. You're pregnant now. It's not suitable for you to travel such a long distance. The journey will be bumpy." Wang Quan Ba Ye was still worried about Chu Ri Huaizhu's health, looking very worried.
"Look at me. I'm in such good health now. I'll be fine! Moreover, with you by my side, I'm even less afraid!"
Chu Ri Huaizhu tried every means to make Wang Quan Ba Ye believe her. Only by going to the Tree of Heartbreak at this time could she have a chance to create a reunion in the next life. Otherwise, once the child was born, she might never have this chance again.
Wang Quan Ba Ye reluctantly agreed to Chu Ri Huaizhu and decided to accompany her to find the magical tree.
Chu Ri Huaizhu was very happy and began to prepare the things she would need on the way, such as food, water, clothes. She asked the servants to pack up all the things she might need.
Before they set off, Chu Ri Huaizhu took out her hairpin and put it on.
"Huaizhu, all these things are ready. Is there anything you've forgotten?" Wang Quan Ba Ye looked at the carriage full of things. Sure enough, women were more thoughtful.
Chu Ri Huaizhu turned around and looked at everything behind her. She thought she had taken all the things she would need.
"No. Let's set off. Otherwise, we'll miss the time." Chu Ri Huaizhu was helped onto the carriage by Wang Quan Ba Ye.
"Steward Fei, during the days I'm away, please take care of the affairs of the manor." Wang Quan Ba Ye entrusted his affairs. He didn't know how many days he would be away.
"Don't worry, Young Master. With this old servant here in the mansion, no one dares to cause trouble." Steward Fei said with a smile.
Wang Quan Ba Ye put down the curtain of the carriage. "Let's go!"
Hearing Wang Quan Ba Ye's voice, the coachman started to move and headed in the direction of the Tree of Heartbreak.
Wang Quan Ba Ye covered Chu Ri Huaizhu with his cloak. The two snuggled up to each other, looking very sweet.
In the warm embrace, Chu Ri Huaizhu thought of the plot about the fox - demons she had read. She knew the function of the huge Tree of Heartbreak, but she wasn't sure if it would work for her. She was still a bit worried.
"I hope the Tree of Heartbreak can feel my sincerity. I really want to be with you again." Chu Ri Huaizhu murmured to herself.
Wang Quan Ba Ye looked down at Chu Ri Huaizhu in his arms and couldn't help but kiss her.
They traveled day and night for two days before reaching the mountain where the Tree of Heartbreak was located. Although the journey was long, they had a safe trip.
The two got off the carriage. From afar, Chu Ri Huaizhu saw the Tree of Heartbreak. Having read the plot, she knew what the Tree of Heartbreak looked like and how to make a wish and form a bond. She knew it all clearly.
"Hubby, look over there! That lush and huge tree is the Tree of Heartbreak!" Chu Ri Huaizhu pointed in the direction.
Wang Quan Ba Ye looked up in that direction. Unexpectedly, a towering tree stood on top of the mountain peak.
"Let's go quickly." Chu Ri Huaizhu pulled Wang Quan Ba Ye and walked forward.
Seeing Chu Ri Huaizhu in a hurry, Wang Quan Ba Ye quickly stepped forward to support her increasingly heavy body.
In a short while, they walked in front of the Tree of Heartbreak. Wang Quan Ba Ye looked up at it.
The Tree of Heartbreak was lush and leafy, covering the sky above their heads. It was about ten - odd meters tall, as if its branches were reaching into the clouds. Its trunk was so thick that four or five people couldn't even hug it. It was simply a divine tree that had grown for hundreds of years.
"Hubby, what's wrong? You look dazed." Chu Ri Huaizhu saw Wang Quan Ba Ye standing still beside her, staring at the Tree of Heartbreak all the time. She was a bit worried that he might go back on his word.
"Nothing. I'm just sighing that there's such a big tree in this world. It seems that what you said is true. It has grown for hundreds of years. Maybe it will make our wishes come true!" Wang Quan Ba Ye said as he walked to Chu Ri Huaizhu's side.
"Then shall we start?" Chu Ri Huaizhu took out the hairpin she had prepared from her body as a token for the reincarnation and continuation of their bond.
Chu Ri Huaizhu pulled Wang Quan Ba Ye and knelt down together. The two began to sincerely make an agreement with the Tree of Heartbreak: "Tree of Heartbreak, no matter what the result is, please let us meet again in the next life."
"Must... meet again." Chu Ri Huaizhu pleaded in her heart.
