"Didn't someone mention this before? You asked for a golden room, right?" Lina said.
"So, this is the golden chamber you've created for me?" Zuko paused briefly before laughing.
He carefully examined the blueprint, impressed by Lina's exceptional drawing skills. The design looked as if it had been printed by a machine, with each element distinct and pursued to perfection.
"Do you like it?" Lina asked, looking expectantly at him.
Zuko chuckled softly. How could he not like it?
He reminisced about when his mother bought his father a very cheap car. Zephyr treated it like a treasure, caring for it as if it were the most valuable possession. But now, Lina had outdone them all by gifting him an entire house.
"It would be perfect if this place was close to the sea and the mountains." Zuko embraced her, resting her head on his shoulder. "This house would look even better if built along the mountains."
He then asked, "Lina, have you chosen the location?"
"Yes," Lina replied, gently rubbing his face. "But for now, it's a secret. Once the house is finished, I'll hide you away properly!"
Zuko smiled, deeply moved by Lina's affection. The house itself mattered little to him—it was the love and thoughtfulness behind the gesture that touched his heart.

A month later, the grand wedding took place at the Hamerton Manor.
It was a crisp autumn day, and the outdoor wedding exuded both solemnity and warmth. Every detail reflected grandeur and luxury. Only close family and friends attended the celebration, with all media requests respectfully declined.
Zuko didn't want Lina to feel pressured. They were not public figures. Despite numerous speculations in the media, they felt no obligation to satisfy public curiosity.
He wanted to use this solemn ceremony to declare to the world that he was marrying the girl he had held hands with as a child, the girl he had always yearned for, and the girl he had made a lifelong promise to.
