Adorable Wife

The Pei and Jiang families had been close for generations, and Pei Geng had always known he was betrothed to a girl from the Jiang family.

She simply said softly, "Since you don't like me, I'll go home, then." She left a letter and went away with her maid. Jiang Shun'er had been gone for three days, but to Pei Geng it felt like three years. He dreamed of her secretly slipping into his arms and softly calling him "husband."
