A short while later, their car passed through the gates of the Lu Household.
Snow lined the winding driveway, and the bare branches of the surrounding trees glistened beneath the morning sun.
Yue Ling looked out the window as the mansion came into view.
It had been a long time since she had been able to look forward to a family gathering without the shadow of another crisis hanging over her.
Today, they were here to discuss their future.
Their engagement.
Their wedding.
The beginning of another chapter in their lives.
Lu Tian reached for her hand.
"Nervous?"
She glanced at him.
"Should I be?"
"Only if Mother brings out the guest list."
Yue Ling laughed.
"How many people are on it?"
"I haven't dared to ask."
She shook her head, smiling.
The car came to a stop beneath the entrance.
Lu Tian stepped out first, then he walked around the front of the car to the passenger side. His hand reached out for her.
