"How long will you be gone? When will you return, and do our vows still count?"
"I don't know how long I'll be gone, but I will certainly come back. If you are still unmarried and have no woman you fancy by then, our vows will count. At that time, I will definitely marry you!"
Chu Yu was silent.
It was only after a long while that he looked at Yun Jinnian, "Alright, I'll wait for you!"
Yun Jinnian pursed her lips, struggling to keep from looking too sad, "When I'm back, you'll be dealing with a fifteen-year-old girl. You'd better prepare a generous dowry; if it's too little, I won't marry you!"
"Hmm, the dowry will definitely be plentiful!"
With great reluctance and against his wishes, Chu Yu let Yun Jinnian go.
By the time she returned, Chu Yu was already a striking young man in his prime, having accomplished several impressive feats that demanded a second look.
