The Wedding Proposal

-

Rain fell softly over Country V.

The city lights blurred behind the glass windows of Lotus Pavilion, one of the most expensive tea houses in the capital.

Inside the private room, the air was warm and quiet.

A marriage contract sat on the table.

Gao Tu stared at it, his fingers tightened around the cup of warm tea in his hands while his wood sage pheromones drifted lightly in the air, carrying his nervousness.

Across from him sat his grandfather, Gao Mingze, calm as ever.

The old man pushed the document forward.

"Take a look."

Gao Tu blinked.

"...Grandpa."

His voice was soft.

"What is this?"

His grandfather sipped his tea.

"A marriage proposal."

The words made Gao Tu freeze.

Outside, thunder rumbled.

Gao Tu lowered his gaze to the papers.

Traditional marriage documents.

Family seals.

Formal agreements.

Everything was already prepared.

His heartbeat sped up.

"Marriage?"

"Yes."

Gao Tu looked up, stunned.

"So suddenly?"

His grandfather sighed.

"You're twenty-four."

"That's not old."

"For an omega, families start asking earlier."

Gao Tu pressed his lips together.

He knew that, especially in Country V.

Omega marriages were important. Political alliances, business connections and family reputation.

But, "Who is it?"

His grandfather smiled.

"A good match."

That wasn't an answer.

Gao Tu frowned slightly.

"What's his name?"

The old man set his tea down.
