Tan Yongsi watched the cars passing her on the road, her voice calmed as she said, “Xuan Xuan, Yan Han is getting engaged. If you just browse the net, it’s all news about his engagement.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end, before Ye Xuan’s more cautious voice came through again. “So, my dear, are you alright?”

“Extremely so.” Tan Yongsi covered her eyes with one hand, feeling the warmth spreading in her heart. “It took me five years to see the reality of the world, that’s my loss.”

“Silly girl,” Ye Xuan said quietly. “Come on back to the dorms, then we’ll talk.”

“Ah, you’d have to wait a while more. I haven’t found the right person for my daily fortune telling yet!” Tan Yongsi said suddenly.

“You still want to do that at this time? You really have such a big heart…”

Tan Yongsi hung up the phone and was just about to leave, when she caught sight of a young man. He had a tall build, and a handsome face. He was exactly what modern society would presently term as a ‘popular pretty boy’ with that face and dressing of his.

The young man was holding a phone in his hand, and he looked towards Tan Yongsi. “You also play the Nine Heavens online game?”

Tan Yongsi was startled for a moment at being addressed suddenly, before recalling that her phone ringtone was from the Nine Heavens game. “Yeah, I played with my mom since I was a kid.”

“I was dragged to play this game by my mother too.” Tang An had been there since the beginning, when Wen Qing started talking to Tan Yongsi, and had watched the entire interesting drama that unfolded in front of him. “Do you think I’m that ‘right person’ that you’ve been looking for?”

“What?” Tan Yongsi was confused.

“Weren’t you talking about fortune telling?” Tang An brushed a hand through his hair, pushing back the few scattered strands of hair that had blown into his face.

“Isn’t it better to have things go your way, instead of forcing it? So, would you want to do a fortune-telling for me?”

Tan Yongsi shoved her phone back in her pocket, then stretched out three fingers.

Tang An understood her gesture, pulling out his wallet from his own pocket. He took out a wad of cash and handed it to Tan Yongsi.

Tan Yongsi took it, taking out three pieces before returning the others to him.

“What do you want read?” Tan Yongsi put away the money she received, raising her head to look at Tang An.

“Up to you, just do whatever you want.” Tang An didn’t expect her to do any real fortune-telling, he just thought that she was an interesting person.

Tan Yongsi knew that this person probably didn’t believe her, as she was so much younger if you were to compare her to those other masters who did fortune-telling. However, Tan Yongsi didn’t take this to heart. She leveled a serious look at Tang An, and at the same moment, she saw a man who had a faint purple breath of aura above his head.

She felt the shock at the bottom of her heart. This purple aura…

“The fortunes in your life are smooth, and your birth was greatly celebrated. But from your face, there should have been a calamity in your life when you were eight years old. In general, no one would have been able to escape this.” Tan Yongsi was more shocked and frightened, the more she saw. She had thought that this was just some ordinary rich young heir, she didn’t expect to see such things from him. “Someone must have resolved that for you and released you from that fate, and this person is very very strong. So, the life you have after will be good. Though there’ll be some bumps on the road, there won’t be anything serious enough to hurt you.”
