Hello, Wife!

Chapter 44: Taking Advantage 

A limestone trail, simple tranquility, clean air, and birds singing. It was such a beautiful scenery, but Su Le did not even take a glance at it as she supported herself against a pine tree. She took in a deep breath. Why did everyone only say that it was fun and not mention about the temple being located at the top of the mountain? Even if she did not die as she climbed up the mountain, step by step, she would still lose half of her life!

This morning, the rain had already stopped when Su Le woke up. Since it was no longer raining, everyone picked up their drinks as they decided to climb the mountain. From a distance, the mountain did not look like it was very high, but when they actually started climbing it, they all suddenly understood that even their holiday would require physical strength. Su Le started to regret her usually sitting around at home since she now lacked the strength to climb up.

She raised her head as she looked at the neverending flight of limestone stairs. Su Le wanted to cry. She did not come here to look at Buddha or the clouds. She came to suffer!

"Su Le, fighting!" Chen Xu cheered as he carried some water and snacks and walked ahead. Very quickly, the distance between then widened. It was like as if the bag of snacks and water he was carrying were just tissues that were as light as feathers.

Su Le rolled her eyes. She clasped her hands together and prepared to climb up again. A good-looking hand extended before her and Su Le did not bother to be polite, holding on to that hand. "I shall rely on you then." The sentence that had been randomly said out loud have suddenly became rather ambiguous.

The smile on Wei Chu's face became especially bright. He pulled Su Le closer to himself. "Be at ease and leave everything to me. "

"No wonder Lao Da wasn't willing to use the cable car to go up the mountain," Chen Xu, who happened to looked back and saw the scene, said aloud. Then, he muttered quietly to himself, "Really, he's used all types of methods."

Su Le felt her cheeks warm up as she felt Wei Chu's hand at the back of her waist supporting her. The remaining steps began lightening. Step by step, they slowly climbed up the mountain together. When they saw the temple's shadow, Wei Chu, who supported Su Le, did not have a red face and neither was he gasping for breath.

Suddenly, Su Le remembered what her mother had once told her. Whether a man had a good appearance or not, it didn't really matter. What truly was important was his strength. It appeared that Wei Chu's body strength was passable. So regarding this point, her mother should be satisfied, right?

Conscious that her thoughts were drifting further away, Su Le swatted the hand that was on waist away. "We have arrived."

"Darling, you're so cruel. Swatting me away after you've finished using me," Wei Chu rubbed the area that got hit. He had an expression that looked like he was being bullied.

"Great God Wei, please maintain you image a little. Quite a few of your employees are nearby," Su Le replied, unaffected. Her gaze went to the statue on the side. It resembled the Sheli Pagoda, and it was slightly mottled, seeming like it was quite old. There was a monk not far away, who wore black clothing as he swept the dried leaves off the path. As Su Le watched the scene, she felt like she had just travelled back in time. But as she heard the door shut, she remembered that this place was just a scenic spot.

After going into the temple and worshipping the Buddha, Wei Chu didn't really ask about love and marriage like he had mentioned yesterday. Also, Su Le didn't believe that Wei Chu was the type who would place his beliefs in love all on a divination stick.

The architecture of the temple gave off an ancient feeling. The scent of sandalwood and the chants from monks filled the temple. It made Su Le feel that all her sufferings from before was worth it. Su Le stood up from the praying mat. As she looked at the several Buddha's statues in the temple, Su Le's mind was at peace.
