However, as the wedding day drew closer, Gu Jin began to feel something new...nervousness.
It was strange for her. She had always been calm and distant. But now, her hands would tremble slightly whenever she saw the wedding decorations being set up.
At first, she thought it was just anxiety about the plan. But soon she realized... she was afraid yet anticipated it very much.
Still, the closer the wedding came, the more stressed she became.
The grand hall was filled with flowers and golden curtains. Tailors brought in dresses, and the entire Gu Mansion buzzed with activity.
Gu Jin felt like the air itself was pressing down on her.
Seeing her growing tension, Gu Jichun said kindly,
"You've been too serious lately, Jin. Let's go out and relax. Shopping will help you calm down."
Gu Jin hesitated but finally agreed. "All right," she said. "Maybe that will help."
The next morning, the two went to the city's largest shopping mall.
