Madam Gu and Gu Chengzhao looked disapprovingly at Gu Bichen.
The matter of the engagement has already been discussed with Gu Bichen. Arranged marriages are not acceptable, so why does Bichen keep bringing up the engagement and making An'an uncomfortable?
Gu Bichen extended the smooth jade pendant to Shen You'an.
The jade was translucent, seemingly holding an indelible trace of green within.
"Look at this jade pendant. It's been passed down for three generations in my family. Since I can remember, it has been with me."
The young man's Adam's apple bobbed as he locked his intense gaze on her.
"The engagement arranged by our ancestors is just a pretense. I am presenting it today to tell you that I like you, not because of any promise but because you are the only one for me in this life."
"This jade pendant should have been yours long ago."
The boy's passionate affection infused this grand confession with an extreme romantic hue.
