He adhered to the agreement between him and Jian Shichu, minimizing his interactions with Ye Qingci as much as possible.
So, even though he had arrived in Quyang Country yesterday, he lied to Ye Qingci, telling her he hadn't yet arrived.
It wasn't until Ye Qingci was about to get married that he came to see her.
Before a bride can wed, she isn't allowed to wear shoes. She must sit on the new bed and wait for the groom to put on the new shoes for her.
Thus, Ye Qingci couldn't get off the bed to greet Ye Jingzhi. She could only sit upright, looking at him with delight, exclaiming, "Brother, you finally came! I've been dying waiting for you!"
Normally, they wouldn't meet frequently, and even a phone call was rare. But on her wedding day, if Ye Jingzhi didn't show up, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
