Su Nuan Nuan smiled up at her, ”Sister is the best person to ask aboutjust a pair of bracelets is too lacking, with solater, welady be decked out properly today”

Su Nuan Nuan said, ”I've never liked red corals, so I don't have any here Hong Lian, go fetch the key to your master's warehouse See if there are any red coral bracelets there…”
Duan Xinqi anxiously cut in, ”Sister-in-lae h, surely there's no need to be too perfect?”
