The dress hugged her figure with refined grace, the subtle sheen of the silk catching the light, while the faint glow from her skin and the delicate jade anklet added a quiet allure.
"You look even better than when we left," Lu Yuze murmured, voice low and rough with approval. His gaze swept over her slowly, possessively. "They won't be able to look away."
