Protective Talisman

"Is it because we haven't received Old Madame Li's blessing?"

"Mu Fan, if she doesn't give us her blessing, Grandma won't let me get engaged to you."

Old Madame Li is Li Ji An's grandmother. There was a reason Mu Fan would suddenly bring up something like this. Old Madame Li (she is name was Li Hua) was on the opposite side of Mu Fan.

Old Madame Li did let Ji An get engaged to Mu Fan. But Old Madame Li was not present at the engagement ceremony.

The old Madame Li used the excuse of her weak physical health. Whereas previously she was able to make a fuss about Mu Fan's suitability as Li Ji An's future husband. Before finally, Old Madame Li gave up on her beloved granddaughter.

"Then let's visit Grandma Li again before the wedding day."

Mu Fan's idea wasn't wrong, but it didn't sound good to Ji An. It's a shame Old Madame Li doesn't like Mu Fan that much. But after the nightmare just now, Ji An was indeed reminded of her grandmother.

***

Upon Mu Fan and Ji An's return, they went straight to Old Madame Li, who lived separately in the old villa on the southern hill.

"Grandma, Ji An came to see Grandma!"

"Xiao An! Oh, my dear!" Old Madame Li warmly welcomed her granddaughter.

Behind Ji An, there was Mu Fan with everything in hand. Previously, Mu Fan and Ji An had made preparations before coming to the villa. They bought all kinds of supplements, Old Madame Li's favorite snacks, and a few others.

"Come in and sit down, Grandma is very happy to see you. It is good that you came here. I just had a nightmare about you, girl. My heart is very unsettled and wants to see you soon."

What a coincidence that Old Madame Li also had nightmares about Li Ji An.

"It's just Grandma's nightmare. Don't you see that I'm fine? Mu Fan and I just came back from Yi Lan City."

"Dreams always carry their own meaning. You can't be careless with your dreams, my dear. I have often said this to your father and mother. If you dream of something you have to tell me and let me see what it means."

Old Madame Li is indeed a little conservative about this. He still believes in mystical things such as the meaning of dreams, hunches, or body signals.

"Why should you go to Yi Lan anyway? Yi City is so far from here, why do you need to travel so far just to take a photo? There are many good places in Beijing." Not to forget Old Madame Li scolded Ji An.

The insinuation was clearly directed at Mu Fan. Even so, the idea of going to Yi Lan belongs to Ji An. If there's someone to blame, it's Ji An.

Ji An's conversation with Old Madame Li didn't go so far. There was Mu Fan who was stuck there.

Ji An shared a little about her wedding preparations and really hopes that Old Madame Li will be able to attend her wedding with Mu Fan. Old Madame Li didn't really respond and kept getting out of the line of conversation somehow.

"Mu Fan brought you some of your favorite supplements and snacks Grandma." Li Ji An gestured for Mu Fan to take his chance.

"Thank you, you don't have to bother with things like this. Your father gave me lots of things like this the last time he came to visit." Too bad Old Madame Li wasn't sure if all of this was really prepared by Mu Fan for her. Even so, she still accepted it.

"Ji An, you remember that you have something good for you." Old Madame Li immediately thought of the item she should have given Ji An after the nightmare hit her.

Li Ji An glanced at Mu Fan as if asking permission to leave him for a moment. Afterward, Ji An went to follow Old Madame Li into her room.

In the main bedroom of the south villa Tua.

Old Madame Li immediately opened her safe and took out an antique box from inside.

"Xiao An, accept your grandmother's precious protective talisman." Old Madame Li gave the antique box to Ji An and invited her grandson to open the box.

Inside was a beautiful jade bracelet. Unlike the jade Li Ji An knew, Old Madame Li's jade looked very antique and seemed to be a rare type of jade.

"Grandma, I don't think I deserve this thing," Li Ji An wasn't sure about taking the jade bracelet.

Judging from the price and model, it didn't feel that suits Li Ji An. She is still a young girl. Such a stone bracelet would be more suitable if it was given to the mother. Ji An wasn't sure how to refuse Old Madame Li's gift of this one.

"You really need to have this Xiao An. This bracelet will protect you from the bad luck to come."

Old Madame Li had said before that the bracelet was her protective talisman. Now he even said something about the bad luck to come.

Li Ji An was quite touched that Old Madame Li cared about her so much. She was sure that this idea came in line with the nightmare that attacked Old Madame Li. She was always ready if he had a hunch or a nightmare. The bracelet must have been one of the usual forms of precaution Old Madame Li took.

"Xiao An, wear this bracelet from today onwards. My heart won't be at ease if you don't wear it."

Wearing a jade bracelet like that for every day is actually a bit too much according to Ji An. But the young girl could not help but obey Old Madame Li's orders.

"You also have to keep this bracelet on during your wedding ceremony. It will protect you from the disaster that might happen."

What disaster might happen on Ji An's wedding day?

After hearing this, Li Ji An was a little worried but didn't have the courage to ask Old Madame Li about what a possible disaster might happen?
