"I am trying to warn you of what sort of things you would see when you marry someone like me. There are many expectations of you in this position."

Vincenzo caresses along his hand, letting his own move over the slim digits. How could he lay out all that is expected for the position and expected of Sizhui as the wife of the head? From what Luca had told him, the Lan had many rules and expectations as well, being one of the very few families whose gentry survived through the years. He presses his lips together and gives a soft sigh. Luca would not have arranged this if he didn't think Sizhui was capable of fulfilling the role.

"I want you to be sure that you are aware of what it all means. That isn't simply a charmed life."
