Love Lost in the Sea of Clouds

“Qin Yue, are you really willing to marry into the Yun family?”

My mother’s disbelieving voice came through the phone.

“Yeah.”

I answered again, making my response clear.

My voice was the only thing that remained perfectly calm, without a hint of emotion.

“When this engagement was arranged, you and Yun Xue were still young. But all these years, even as the Yun family has risen to prominence, they haven’t forgotten about it...”

I could feel my mother’s joy even through the phone.

But my face remained utterly expressionless, like a still pool.
