Mei Li was amazed at herself as she stared at herself in the mirror. This dress fit her well, and Grandma Zhao stared at her standing on the platform with tears in her eyes. Her grandson would have it hard on his wedding day, but it would be worth it. He would gain a beautiful wife to spend the rest of his days.

"Do you think this is the dress, dear?" Grandma Zhao asked.

Mei Li nodded immediately. Her eyes too were watery, the reality that she would be somebody's bride. No, not somebody, but Zhao Yang. Mei Li sobbed as she remembered how disappointed she was when Yang had evaded meeting her, and now she was in this beautiful dress, preparing for her wedding. She never knows how butterflies can fit in one stomach, but it felt as if millions were fluttering in hers. Her hands shake as she grew nervous. What if he would decide against it? What if he would not show up? What if his love would slowly lose its meaning as Chen Zhong's had?
