Min Sezhui was still waving at Chu Yun from behind a group of guests, standing on her tiptoes to make her hands visible above their heads.
Chu Yun approached her with a smile but stood at some distance. It wasn't just the two of them now, it wouldn't do for people to see an omega and an alpha being so close. Min Sezhui wore flowing pink robes under a thick white fur cloak which reached down to her elbows.
"How has Sezhui been?"
She leaned against the whitewashed stone wall behind her with a sigh. "There are a lot of people here, which I don't like. But his Majesty said I had to come too." She tilted her head to the side against the wall behind her, discreetly eyeing some of the people in the crowd.
"Uhm, that's very unpleasant," Chu Yun said nodding. "Being honest, I wish I didn't have to be here either," he said, lowering his voice as if sharing a secret.
