Guests of Honor
“I think he likes our outfits,” Wu Meiying said with a giggle.
“D-do you think so?” Hou Jingshu blushed pink and looked down at her clothes. “It’s not… too gaudy, is it?”
“Aren’t you the princess of the Shang Kingdom? You should be used to wearing gaudy clothes.”
“… I prefer plainer clothes, honestly.”
“You two look amazing,” Wu Jian said after somehow managing to find his tongue again.
“Thank you.” Wu Meiying eyed him up and down, grinned, and said, “You look good too.”
“I picked out his outfit,” Mother said, puffing out her chest.
“Don’t look so proud of yourself,” Wu Taohua said with a sigh.
“Anyway, the celebration should be starting soon. It won’t do for the guests of honor to arrive late, so you three should go on ahead. Don’t worry about us. We’ll catch up once we get into our own outfits,” Mother assured them.
