“Mom, Dad, I've decided to come back home and get married. I'll be back at the end of this month.”
It was early spring, and the weather was still cold. As Ruan Xiangyi opened the door and spoke on the phone, her soft voice drifted away beneath the steady curtain of rain.
She pulled her collar tight and heard her parents breathe a sigh of relief on the other end.
“Xiangyi, your mom and I haven't been in the best of health these past few years. All we've hoped is that you'd settle down soon. It's good you've made up your mind. When you come back, I'll ask your Aunt Lan to arrange for you to meet a few suitable matches.”
