My Beloved Ziyin, I’ll Wait for You

"Miss An, my Jiang family has more than enough to provide for you, and no one in the household will give you trouble. But my mother's dearest wish for many years has been to see me marry and have children. I have put it off until now because I seek neither a marriage of convenience nor a perfect match, nor some grand romance. I ask only for someone to share a long life with me. Besides, husband and wife share both honor and disgrace. If you marry me, you won't have to keep worrying that I'll complain about you to my elder brother." Seeing that Yimo had finally begun to soften, Jiang Ziqin slowly rose and bowed deeply to her. "I dare not promise a lifetime together, through every hardship and joy. I only hope to find a beloved companion, and build a harmonious life together."

After a long while, Yimo gave a slight nod. Like willow fluff swaying in the spring breeze, she was gone in the blink of an eye.
