Due to her fierce charge, Tian Yulan bumped into Jin Shasha. When she fell, she kicked off the two glass shoes on her feet. The glass shoes flew in different directions.

The glass shoes that were flying in the sky descended from the sky with a golden light and quickly fell to the ground. Everyone's gaze followed the glass shoes from high to low.

Tian Yulan was standing right in the middle of the two glass shoes. She didn't know if she should go left or right. She was at a loss.

The audience also thought that it was hopeless. Everyone's exclamations were waiting to be heard together with the sound of the glass shoes shattering.

The moment the two glass shoes fell to the ground, Tian Yulan closed her eyes and covered her ears as she waited for the glass shoes to fall to the ground. She was prepared for her heart to shatter along with the glass shoes.

However, a miracle happened at this moment. Yi Yanfu and his secretary, Xie Guoping, each reached out to catch a glass shoe. Yi Yanfu took a few steps back and bumped into Tian Yulan, who was standing beside him. Yi Yanfu fell to the ground first, and Tian Yulan fell on him immediately after.

As Yi Yanfu and Tian Yulan fell down, the crowd immediately let out a series of exclamations. The lighting technician quickly turned off the lights to prevent the originally perfect performance from leaving more " funny points ".

Yi Yanfu was a man, and it was already embarrassing enough for him to fall on his butt in front of everyone. In his hand was a glass shoe that he thought was unrealistic, and in his arms was the woman who destroyed his jewelry exhibition. He was burning with anger.

"My glass slipper, my glass slipper, I don't think I heard it break.”Tian Yulan was only thinking about her glass shoes and had no idea that she was sitting on Yi Yanfu.

Yi Yanfu's heart was already burning with anger, but he still had to be polite." Please get up!”What's wrong with sitting on the floor all the time!

"Have you seen my glass slippers? Is it alright? Tell me quickly." She remained unmoved and continued to sit in his arms, tugging at the bow tie around his neck.

Yi Yanfu was upset by her strangling and growled,""Your glass shoes are in my hands. If you don't get up, I'll turn them into glass fragments!”

Tian Yulan quickly stood up and helped him up in a flattering manner. She patted his body with one hand and said," I'll help you dust the shoes off. Don't let my glass shoes break into pieces. If they break, my marriage will be over. It's all because of them that I met my other half."”

Jin Weilai predicted that her future partner would be born at Chenshi, and they would start their relationship because of the glass slipper she got.

Yi Yanfu snorted." Ignorant woman."”

From the moment she asked Jin Shasha for the lottery ticket, he knew that this woman's mind was full of unrealistic, superstitious, and fanciful colors, just like his stubborn grandmother.

Tian Yulan was about to retort when the lighting technician turned on the lights again when he saw that the audience had left.

Once the lights were on, the golden glass shoes shone again. At the same time, Tian Yulan saw Yi Yanfu and another man holding her glass shoes in their hands.

Yi Yanfu took the golden glass shoes he received and glared at Tian Yulan angrily." You ruined my meticulously designed jewelry exhibition!”

"Thank you, I'm sorry! Thank you so much, and I'm really sorry.”Tian Yulan looked at the perfect glass shoe in Yi Yanfu's hand and thanked him repeatedly.

"Can I just apologize?" Yi Yanfu growled.

"Mr. Yi, I really didn't do it on purpose. I was afraid that your girlfriend would break my glass slippers, so I rushed up to the stage.”

Yi Yanfu stared at her pretty face that had a hint of innocence from the countryside for a long time before turning to look at Jin Shasha with a pair of sharp eyes that were full of questions.

Jin Shasha quickly said,""I borrowed the glass shoes from her to make the jewelry exhibition perfect. She's clearly stingy and deliberately ruined the jewelry exhibition.”

"I didn't do it on purpose. You looked like you were about to fall just now, that's why I rushed onto the stage.”

"I'm a famous model. How could I fall?”

"Racers can crash too."

"You…you did it on purpose." Jin Shasha moved closer to Yi Yanfu." Yanfu, she must have seen how beautiful the glass shoes looked on my feet, so she deliberately destroyed them.”

"I'm not. I just want to protect my glass shoes.”

"Impressive!" Jin Shasha snorted lightly." Yanfu, I want a pair of glass shoes for my birthday. Give me a pair that's even prettier than hers."”

"Mister Yi, please return the glass shoes to me. My marriage depends on them.”Tian Yulan extended her hand to Yi Yanfu.

Marriage depends on a pair of glass shoes? He hated such nonsense, and he had allowed such nonsense to cause his marriage to break up and his children to die prematurely.

The corners of his lips suddenly curled up, and there was a look of deliberate revenge on his face. He wanted to vent the anger that his grandmother had put on him because of superstition on her.

"This pair of glass shoes ruined my jewelry exhibition. I'm taking this glass shoe away.”Then, he jumped off the runway and left with the glass shoes.

"Mister Yi…"

Tian Yulan felt so wronged that tears welled up in her eyes. Bai Yutong came to her side and gently stroked her back to comfort her.

"Stingy, you deserve it!" Jin Shasha had a gloating look on her face as she jumped off the runway and left with Yi Yanfu.

Just as she was about to hold back her tears, another glass shoe appeared in front of her." I'll return it to you."”

Tian Yulan quickly took the glass shoes and looked at Xie Guoping gratefully." Thank you."”

It was already late at night, and the shops in the downtown area of Pingdong were all closed. The streets were left with a dazzling array of signboards and the occasional passing cars.

After all, this place was not like Taibei, where the crowd always decreased with the night.

A signboard with the words " Aladdin's Jewelry Store " on it was turned off at midnight.

The first and second floors of this four-story house were the retail stores, while the third and fourth floors were the residences.

When they saw the signboard on the fourth floor, Tian Yulan and Bai Yutong immediately got out of bed. Tian Yulan took out a paper bag from the desk drawer.

She took out two white candles from the paper bag and lit them. The two candles flickered with the flow of the air, illuminating the completely dark room. The white candle body, two pure and fair faces, a piece of paper on the table filled with words, and a small plate on the paper.

The eerie atmosphere was deliberately created. Tian Yulan dragged Bai Yutong to play the rumored Dish God. It was said that she could ask about the unknown in the future.

What Tian Yulan wanted to know the most was about her future partner. Occasionally, she would ask her parents if they were doing well in the other world.

The two of them each put a finger on the small plate, ready to invite the Dish God to play the game of 'I ask you and answer you'.

"Dish God, Dish God, please tell me, when will my future husband appear?”Tian Yulan looked cautious as she waited for the plate to move.

After a while, Bai Yutong said,""Yulan, it doesn't even move. We've played it so many times, it's impossible.”

Bai Yutong was not superstitious about such things. Tian Yulan believed in fate. She believed that a person's fate had been arranged by an invisible force. What was left was personal choice and hard work.

"Wait a little longer." Tian Yulan begged.

"Didn't Jin Weilai help you predict it? It's not like your other half was born in the morning, and you will start your fate because of the glass shoes.”

"But I only have one glass shoe left. The other one is in Yi Yanfu's hands. It's all because of Jin Shasha.”She pouted and complained.

"Yulan, so far, the only men who have touched those glass shoes are Yi Yanfu and his secretary. Could your other half be one of them?”

"Yi Yanfu and his secretary?" Tian Yulan looked at Bai Yutong." I thought of that too, but we were in the south and north. How could we meet again?"”

"Yu Tong, if it's really one of them, who do you want to be your other half?”

"Yi Yanfu looks like a very temperamental person. I do like him a lot, but I ruined his jewelry exhibition. You should have seen his expression as if he wanted to kill me, so it can't be him. As for his secretary, he was quite refined. It would be nice if it was him.”

"They seem to be really good. But you're right. The one from the south and the one from the north, plus the fact that the glass shoes fell into their hands was purely an accident. It shouldn't be them.”

"Since it wasn't them, and Yi Yanfu took my glass shoes, then he clearly wanted to break my marriage.”

"No, you can still get married without the glass slippers.”

"Of course I can get married. I'm just afraid that I won't marry the right person in my life. Yu Tong, I wonder if the two of us are gay?”

"What nonsense are you talking about? How is that possible?”

"When were you born?"

"Chen Shi."

"That's just in line with Jin Weilai's prediction.”

"I'm not gay." Bai Yutong immediately retorted.

"I don't want to either."

"Yulan, forget it, stop playing! Don't believe those non-existent things.”

"Wait a little longer. I still believe that marriage is destined.”

Bai Yutong shook her head helplessly." If there's no movement after a while, we'll put it away. If Uncle and Aunt find out, we'll be in deep trouble."”

Their uncle, Tie Gongji, was a miser. They grew up under his supervision, but he didn't spend a single cent on them. All their tuition fees and living expenses were deducted from the inheritance left by their parents. He was even stricter with them.

They worked at Aladdin's Jewelry Store, and they had the jobs of four people. Tian Yulan was the salesgirl and jewelry designer, while Bai Yutong was the salesgirl and accountant. The two of them had to work as cleaners at the same time. They were just short of being ordered around as maids.

As soon as Bai Yutong finished speaking, footsteps could be heard, followed by the voice of their uncle, Tie Gongji.

"Are you two still awake? Why does it seem like there's still light? I have to save electricity and go to sleep quickly. Should I go and wash the toilet?”

"I'm going to sleep." Tian Yulan quickly blew out the candle and placed the candle back into the paper bag. She then placed the paper bag back into the desk drawer and went back to bed.

After falling asleep, they seemed to have fallen into a warm and genial land. The cold of winter was no longer there, and the temperature was pleasant.

However, the temperature was gradually rising. Tian Yulan and Bai Yutong were getting hotter and hotter as they slept. They kicked the blanket away and were covered in sweat.

It was clearly a cold winter, so how could it be so hot that it made people unable to sleep? The two of them sat up at the same time and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"It's so hot!" Tian Yulan said with sleepy eyes. She felt as if there was a sea of fire in front of her. "Yutong, are we dreaming?"

"It seems so. Otherwise, why would we be in a sea of fire?”Bai Yutong pointed at their surroundings." I must be dreaming."”

"But do you feel hot when you dream?"

"Probably not."

"Then why is there a fire?"

"I don't know."

" Could it be…" Tian Yulan stared at Bai Yutong.

"It can't be?"

The two of them looked at each other and saw the raging fire in each other's eyes. They felt the scorching temperature and had no choice but to face reality.|| Fire!

"Fire! Everyone, run for your lives!"

The two of them quickly got out of bed. Their first reaction was to take their favorite things.

Tian Yulan hugged her last golden glass shoe. Bai Yutong was holding the jewelry box that contained the key to the bank's safe deposit box.

After rushing out of the room, they realized that the fire was out of control. They could only run down desperately and shout as they ran,"Fire! Everyone, run for your lives!"

Tie Gongji's family also ran down quickly. They first went to the store to save their gold, silver, and jewelry. Their speed was as fast as the robbers.

The moonless night sky was filled with raging flames, and the smoke rose into dark clouds. The neighbors were woken up by the screams and the sound of fire engines and ambulances.

The outside of the house was in chaos, and the inside of the house was on fire.

After an unknown amount of time, the fire was finally extinguished. The entire front of Aladdin's jewelry store was completely black, and the interior was even worse. The furniture was charred and lying in the water.

Fortunately, it did not affect the neighbors.

Tie Gongji was so angry that the fire trucks couldn't put it out!

"The fire started in your room. You'd better tell me clearly, or I'll make you two suffer!”He shouted angrily.

The two of them held their beloved things tightly in their hands and shivered.

It was all over! Tian Yulan's brain started to think. Judging from the situation of the fire spreading, she knew that the fire came from the white candle she used to play the dish god.

Although the white candle was blown out, the heart was still hot. The heat ignited the paper bag that contained it and burned in the drawer. There was a power switch next to the drawer, and the fire burned from the fourth floor to the first floor along the power switch.

"One of you is holding the glass shoes while the other is holding the jewelry box. Why isn't anyone helping me save the jewelry? I'm so angry!"

"Uncle, the keys to all the glass cabinets are with you. It's not that we don't want to help, but we can't help.”Bai Yutong explained.

"I don't care. I want the two of you to compensate me for all my losses.”

"Uncle, it's not Yutong's fault. I started the fire.”Tian Yulan admitted frankly.

"You?"

"It's me."

"Very well, it's best if you admit it yourself. Tell me, how are you going to compensate me for all my losses?”Tie Gongji grimaced and asked.

Tian Yulan was forced to take a step back." I don't know.”

"You don't know? Give it to me." Tie Gongji stretched out his fat and short hand towards her.

"Take what?"

"Blue Planet."

Tian Yulan grabbed the blue planet through her clothes and asked in confusion,""What do you want with the blue planet? It's not like the blue planet set the fire."

"That's right! Uncle, what are you doing with Yu Lan's blue planet?”Bai Yutong was also puzzled.

"Of course it's to pay off the debt! My place has been burnt beyond recognition. If I don't use her blue planet to pay off the debt, how will she compensate me?”He had coveted the blue planet and the red planet for a long time. These two blue and red gems were rare treasures.

His father must have lost his mind to use such a precious gem as a dowry and spill it like water, causing him to be here scheming to get it back.

"No, I can't give you the blue planet. It's my lucky stone. It was given to my mother by your father and grandfather, and then my mother left it to me.”Tian Yulan refused without thinking.

"No? Then what are you going to use to repay the debt?"
