“I want to be surprised now,” Nian Junting said, “Besides, Ye Chuen is so ugly. She might prepare ugly gowns for you guys for her to shine brighter tomorrow.”

“Hey, she is still your relative. Objectively speaking, she is quite beautiful, is it nice to speak of her that way?” Luosang was too tired to reprimand him properly.

“What’s wrong with that? Apart from you, everyone else is an ugly duckling.”

Luosang batted her eyelids, she was still moved by what he said even though she had anticipated it. He probably said that in confidence of his own taste in women, nothing to do with how she looks.

“Didn’t you accuse me of undergoing plastic surgery? Why do you think I’m pretty now?”

“Yeah, you’re the most successful surgery I’ve ever seen. It’s so natural.”

“...”

She shouldn’t have asked.

“Send a photo, I’ll give you two minutes to send it to my WeChat,” Nian Junting said hastily before hanging up.

Luosang returned to her dormitory room and snapped a couple of photos and sent them to him. She wasn’t entirely pleased with how she looked but she didn’t want him to be grumpy.

Nian Junting called her back almost immediately, “Why are you wearing white? You look quite plain. You’re also showing too much cleavage, I prohibit it.”

She knew she shouldn’t have sent him the photos.

She sighed and said, “I think it’s alright, she gave it to me especially for this occasion. It wouldn’t be nice if I didn’t wear it. No way I’m showing too much cleavage, only my collarbones are exposed.”

“I’ll send another gown to you,” Nian Junting ignored her.

“I don’t want it, don’t be ridiculous,” Luosang pleaded, “It’s Chuen’s birthday, I shouldn’t steal her thunder by wearing something too extravagant. Are you trying to ruin our friendship?”

“You look prettier than her whatever you’re wearing,” Nian Junting said matter-of-factly.

Luosang didn’t know if it was funny or sweet, “I’m hosting the party tomorrow, I can’t overshadow the star of the show.”

“Why are you the emcee, you’re going to catch the attention of so many men that way,” Nian Junting said spitefully.

Luosang was fighting back a smile, he was both frustrating and adorable at the same time, “Well, you didn’t think I was pretty back then, you always hurled insults at me.”

“You’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever met ever since we started dating.”

“...”

“Meaning I’m not pretty if I wasn’t dating you?” Luosang thought.

“She asked me to be the emcee, I couldn’t refuse,” Luosang was speechless, “Oh right, don’t be too affectionate with me at the party tomorrow, I heard that your grandmother would be there too. I don’t want to be introduced to your family so soon.”

“What do you mean? Am I supposed to stand back and watch other men hit on you?”

“Try not to think of me as irresistibly attractive.”

“You managed to attract me, the most perfect man on the planet. What do you think of your attractiveness?” Nian Junting grunted.

Luosang inhaled sharply, “You don’t want your family to be talking about us behind our backs right, we’ve barely been together for two weeks!”

Nian Junting thought about how naggy his grandmother was and shuddered, “Alright, I know, I’ll bring Xiaosi along tomorrow to stand guard by your side. No one shall come near you.”
