It was the final weekend before the secret wedding. The entire Dragon Palace Home #10 was busy with all the preparations. Despite the hustle and bustle, everybody was moving in an efficient manner and also conducting everything with the utmost discretion and secrecy.
After a busy meeting with their wedding planner which lasted almost the entire morning, Iris started feeling a little queasy. Jin Liwei decided to have the two of them eat a quiet lunch at their suite’s living room instead of joining the others.
Lunch was light but very nutritious. Iris struggled a bit in eating her food but she was still able to finish everything without running to the bathroom and vomiting.
After the meal, she reclined on the couch and sighed. "I hope I won’t get sick on our wedding day."
"Don’t stress too much about it, love," Jin Liwei said while taking a seat beside her.
Once the table was cleared of all the dishes and the household staff left the suite, the couple lounged while listening to Iris’ recorded piano music. Some were classic masterpieces from the great masters, a few were by some of her favourite contemporary composers, and of course, the majority were her own original composition. Regardless of the original composer, her style of playing flowed like an ethereal breeze throughout the entire suite.
Iris rested her head on Jin Liwei’s shoulder and stared at his face. He looked back at her with a slight smile and raised eyebrow.
"We haven’t really talked about how you’re feeling since the shock from last week. Are you really fine after reading the...report?"
His expression froze but it only lasted for a second before he gave a reassuring kiss on her forehead. "Must we talk about this right now?"
She didn’t answer but it was obvious that it was bothering her.
He sighed. "I’m not going to lie. I’m still digesting everything even until now. It’s...a lot."
"I know."
Silence.
She tugged his shirt. "You still want to marry me after knowing my true origins?"
"What kind of question is that?" He scowled. "You thought that I’m going to back out of marrying you after learning about your identity in your past life?"
