"Even if I return to Yanjing City, there are still many things to prepare," Jiang Li said, "I haven't prepared my bridal gown or dowry, nothing at all. How could I possibly get married as soon as I return?"
When Jih Heng left, they were at war, and no one knew what the outcome would be. After the war ended, news came that Jih Heng had died on the battlefield. Let alone getting married, it was uncertain how long this marriage arrangement could last. Jiang Li had not prepared anything, so how could she be ready for the wedding in such a short time?
"Don't worry," he said in a gentle voice, "I have prepared everything long ago."
Jiang Li looked at him in surprise. In his amber eyes was a smile that was not quite a smile, as if he were slightly drunk from wine, yet clearly sober. He continued, "It was your request that I marry you once I return to Yanjing. I thought so too. Before I left, I had everything ready."
