Rong Dai's hands nimbly tied the two tails of the silk scarf at the left side of her waist, then used scissors to cut the scarf open and braided it into a Chinese knot.
She attached pearls to the Chinese knot to add weight and a dangling feel, and attached three pearls to each of the two scarf strips hanging down.
The modification of the skirt was complete.
"Okay, try it on and see if you are satisfied."
Rong Dai handed the skirt to her.
"Sister-in-law, your hands are too skillful!"
Huo i Shu took the skirt with great surprise. Who could have imagined that a simple long skirt, a silk scarf, and a few pearls could change its style and charm?
"Go try it, if it doesn't work, we still have ti to pick sothing else."
Rong Dai smiled lightly.
It was thanks to those ten years in the cold palace that she was able to maintain such a high level of skill until now.
Otherwise, why would she, a princess of a nation, need to sew her own clothes?
Huo i Shu gleefully tried on the clothes. Rong Dai deftly folded the leftover silk scarf into a peony flower, securing it with needle and thread, and attaching three smaller pearls at the pistil.
"Sister-in-law, I really love you too much!"
Huo i Shu ca out of the dressing room wearing the skirt, unable to conceal the delight on her face. She happily tiptoed and spun around twice in place.
"I'm glad you like it."
Rong Dai smiled lightly. The little sister-in-law's temperant was very suitable for clothes with Eastern characteristics, which could enhance her charm.
"I absolutely love it! I almost want you to make all my clothes there if you weren't so busy!"
Huo i Shu was superb at flattery, and when she started complinting soone, her mouth was like honey.
Rong Dai smiled gently, very satisfied.
It turned out that when one's efforts were appreciated, it felt so good.
"Are you still putting on makeup? Gifts like delivering cakes or tea are not appropriate... Did they invite you?"
Rong Dai saw that the little sister-in-law was so happy she forgot herself, and reminded her.
At this reminder, Huo i Shu's face beca awkward.
"I... just want to go there for dinner."
Rong Dai: "..."
So the little sister-in-law ant she was creating an opportunity for herself?
"Then you can't be too deliberate. Gifts are unnecessary."
Huo i Shu smiled awkwardly but politely, and stuck out her tongue mischievously when she saw Rong Dai's helpless smile.
Then she went to change her clothes again, her face a little disappointed.
"Why did you change out of it?"
Rong Dai asked when she saw her mood was off.
Huo i Shu sighed heavily, "Sister-in-law, am I very pathetic? I'm so cowardly even when chasing after a boy I like."
"But... I really, really, really like him, so much it's ridiculous."
She said languidly, her face both disappointed and sweetly smiling.
"It took a lot for to work up my courage this ti, I'm afraid I'll chicken out when I see him again. I want to see him but I'm also afraid to see him, because I don't know what to say to him."
Rong Dai listened quietly and attentively to the little sister-in-law's confession.
Because of her past life experiences, she could fully understand the little sister-in-law's feelings.
She also understood very well her anticipation and struggles.
"i Shu, be a little braver. The worst that could happen is a bad outco, and if it's painful at least you'll know clearly right away, right?"
She gently patted the little sister-in-law's back, her voice very gentle and reassuring.
Although she was younger than the little sister-in-law, she had to be more like an elder.
"We'll face any issues together, okay? Don't forget, we're family."
She held Huo i Shu's hand gently, her voice soft but strangely empowering.
"Thank you sister-in-law, I only dare to tell you these things."
"Mom has her own things, big brother and second brother have their things, and I have pitifully few friends. I can only talk to you about these feelings, thank you for listening to my blabbering."
Huo i Shu held her hand in return, silently cheering herself on in her heart.
"Then I'll go change, you tidy up too, we can wander around nearby first and go to their shop later."
Rong Dai smiled lightly.
What young woman hadn't been a silly girl at one point?
But it was precisely these simple, innocent feelings that would beco the most beautiful mories of one's youth, and also the most stubborn.
After the sisters-in-law changed, they left the apartnt. The restaurant wasn't far from the film and TV city, just inside the mall.
The sisters-in-law loitered in the mall until it got dark, then entered the restaurant right on ti.
Because it was opening day, and dinner ti, the restaurant was bustling.
The sisters-in-law were very lucky to get the last table.
"That was close! We almost missed the chance!"
After sitting down, Huo i Shu clutched her chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Dai sat across from her, and when she saw her actions, a shallow, gentle smile appeared on her face.
To buy ti, Huo i Shu abandoned the fine Huo family tradition of frugality and ordered a whole table full of dishes.
The waiter was hesitant at first, after all there were posters in their restaurant.
But it was dispelled by the little sister-in-law saying "We have other friends coming."
Rong Dai was very helpless, but at the sa ti she felt sorry for the little sister-in-law.
With the little sister-in-law's status, what kind of man was unavailable?
Yet she was so humbly in love with this mysterious Mr. Gu.
She had the experience of her past life.
She was originally the arrogant daughter of Heaven, but because she loved too humbly, she not only lost herself but also suffered a very cruel blow.
She was a little worried that the little sister-in-law would get hurt in love.
"Sister-in-law, eat slowly, there's plenty more! We'll order again if it's not enough."
Huo i Shu poured water for her while urging her to eat.
But she herself kept looking around without touching the food in front of her at all.
Rong Dai nodded and ate quietly. Seeing the screen of the phone on the table light up, she tapped it.
It was a ssage from Qiao Wanzhou.
Thinking of Qiao Wanzhou reminded her that she hadn't had a chance to ask Zhou Jing about sending her back.
But she figured that even if sothing happened between them, he probably wouldn't tell her about it. After all, it was a private matter.
They were both top celebrities in the industry, young but already seniors.
Of course they would be extra careful about these things.
