[ There was a beat where he just frowned at her, not processing, brows kind of furrowed. Then a flash of very real, intense anger in his chest, quickly followed by a wave of intense guilt. ]

I'm definitely not the most precious thing to him. Not here.

[ He corrected, a little bluntly. He wished he was. But he knew who held that position. ]

And I don't have any right to say what he can or can't do.

Why?

What's even the point of getting married here, anyway? For the Jiang name? Other than me, no one seems to care about yours at all.

[sterilize]

All respect, Jin Ling, but your uncle adores you.

( it's fairly easy to see, even when he's trying to disguise it as anything else. the son of jiang yanli and jin zixuan — how could he do anything other than love him?

wen qing herself isn't terrible fond of jin ling as is, but she's willing to put forward the effort into trying. anyway, this isn't about her. the only thing she and jin ling have even remotely in common is their mutual love for jiang cheng — and that's who she asks for, who she's protecting and respecting in asking for jin ling's blessing. )

I don't care about names, either. ( if at all possible, her gaze gets even more serious as the next words fall out of her mouth, fruits plucked off a vine. ) The point is that I love him. I know you do too.

And I know we've tolerated each other so far, but it would mean the world to Jiang Cheng if we could come together on this. The choice is still yours, and I will respect your decision.

I know.

[ Of course he knew that. ]

But he's also known me for two months, and I've known him my whole life. I love him more than you possibly could. [ Is he seriously making this a competition???

He tsked and looked away. ]

But I also know that this isn't home. And me and him against the world isn't enough for him, here.

[ He looks back at her. ]

But. I will never forgive you, ever, if you offer him this and then leave. For any reason. Do you understand? If you break his heart, I-- [ He sucked in a breath, let it out hard. ]

I'll break both your legs personally!!

[sterilize]

( she doesn't look intimidated, but she does appear deadly serious, eyes a little dark even in the warmth that blooms in her chest. )

And I would hand you the mallet.

( she has no intention of breaking jiang cheng's heart, ever.

or, well. again might suit better. )

You'll be expected to take part in the ceremony. ( and, ) After then, we will be considered family.

[inheritedpain]

[ He makes a little bit of a face at the idea of the ceremony and having to do anything for it, but of course he will. He knows his filial duty, after all.

But the last bit makes him pause. Glance away. ]

By marriage.

I recognize that Jiang Cheng has more authority over my wellbeing and status as would generally be given an Uncle.

But you won't be given the same thing.
