Lu Yuan ordered the servants to load the gifts onto the carriage.
Gu Ziye was also ready. She wore a long, form-fitting red dress of brushed fabric that perfectly outlined her figure.
Her usual pigtails were gone. Her glossy, jet-black hair was coiled into an updo, with side-swept bangs framing her forehead.
With her hands held primly, Gu Ziye took delicate steps out to the Mansion Gate.
Lu Yuan, his back to the Mansion Gate, heard a sweet, charming voice behind him.
"Husband, I'm ready!"
Lu Yuan turned and exclaimed, "It's like you've gone from a young maiden to a mature woman overnight."
"What are you talking about? Just tell me if I look pretty or not!" Gu Ziye couldn't keep up her act and stomped her foot.
Lu Yuan walked to the steps and helped Yue'Er down. "To be honest," he said, "I still prefer your usual playful, lively self."
"You should have said so earlier!" Gu Ziye pouted. "I went and got up super early just to put this whole getup together."
'A mature woman?'
