Love Lost in the Sea of Clouds

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

My mother’s voice came over the phone, full of disbelief.

“Mm.”

I answered again, my voice so calm it held not a trace of emotion.

“You and Yun Xue were both so young when this engagement was arranged, but all these years later, even though the Yun family has risen to great heights, they haven’t forgotten about it...”

I could hear my mother’s delight through the phone.

But my face showed no emotion at all. It was as still as a pool of dead water.
