Chapter 505: Family (2)
"Today?" The thought of it being so soon made her have butterflies in her tummy. "What should I prepare? What kind of gifts should I bring, and what should I wear?"
"Don’t worry. You don’t need to prepare anything, just be yourself and they will appreciate you this way." He urged. He knew that whether or not his relatives liked Xiaoshi, they knew that they had no right to give opinions about her and would keep their sentiments to themselves. It was only out of respect that he wanted them to know who he would be married to in a few months.
Hearing his assurance, she rushed to her closet and picked out what to wear. She tried on several outfits, making him want to burst into laughter.
"Don’t fuss too much. Just dress the way you want to." He assured her. "If you like, you can as well wear the emperor’s new robe. Though I would not like you to wear that in public because only I can enjoy the beautiful view."
She paused in her tracks and looked at him with her mouth gaped. "When did the topic take such a dirty turn?"
"What dirty turn? I only spoke the truth." He laughed, and she ignored him.
She didn’t want to listen to his excuse that might just be something naughty, so she selected a simple and modest blue dress to change into.
The A-line dress reached just on her knee, and she tried not to add too many accessories. Carrying a simple handbag and letting her hair down, she applied a tiny bit of lip gloss and went back to him.
"You look beautiful. Let’s go before I change my mind and pull you into bed instead." He warned.
