In the blink of an eye, a week passed. Tong Yao spent several days lazing at home, during which she called her older brother, Tong Yaohui, once. She learned that Si Chen visited their parents in Kyoto on the third day of his arrival. He had dinner with them and then left.
He promised he would return before leaving Kyoto, and Tong Yao could sense the joy in her parents' voices. She jokingly teased her mother, Wen Yun.
"Mom, you sent your only daughter off for marriage. Did you ever consider the possibility that Si Chen might not be able to establish his career in Kyoto and end up staying in Li City for the rest of his life?"
These were also questions that Tong Yao had always wondered about herself. Logically, parents would not want their children to leave home. No one wishes to be left alone when they grow old. Even if they appreciated Si Chen's talent and character, surely, Kyoto is not lacking in such talents?
