As soon as they finished the activity, Hyunjin and Xiu left as early as they can, and before Felix see her. They just wanted Felix to think that she went home and wasn't able to tell him.
Xiu was worried that Felix might wait for her. So she decided to call him.
Calling Felix...
[I'm here. Where are you?]
"About that. Hyunjin wanted me to go with him, he will buy something for Dad."
[Today? Are you two going to take a long time? I mean don't rush. I just want to know if you are still free tonight.]
"Yeah. I'll be there. Send me the address. I'll make sure to show up in time."
[Really? That's great. I'll send you the address now. I'll just go home and get ready. See you there, Xiu.]
"See you." Xiu said and as soon as she ended the call, the nervous feeling came back "What do I do now..." she whispered and looks like she is going to cry
Hyunjin noticed his sister and said, "Tell me if you want to back out, or if you want me to come up with a plan."
"Even if I hide it, he will surely find out soon." Xiu
"Maybe you can tell him that Ms. Yuan is my real Mom. You just showed up in replacement of me since we are not in good terms." Hyunjin suggested
But Xiu is bothered about what the outcome will be.
"Chill. Everything's going to be fine." Hyunjin
He parked the car in front of the mall as soon as they arrived, they both went inside, straight to the salon for Xiu's hair. Xiu is getting her hair done while Hyunjin is in the jewelry shop to find something that will fit the dress he bought.
"What's that called?" Hyunjin asked as he noticed a necklace
"That's a pink diamond rivière." the seller said
Hyunjin nodded and looked at it properly, "Do you accept credit cards for payment?"
"Yes." seller said m
Just like that, he found the perfect necklace for Xiu. As soon as he finished looking around on different shops, he went back to the salon and Xiu is already done with everything. He just paid for it and they went to the house.
Xiu got ready and wore her dress which Hyunjin bought for her.

"Here." Hyunjin said and handed her the gift he bought for her "It's a pink diamond rivière."
"I don't know what that is, but thanks." she smiled and opened it
Her smile appeared as she saw the necklace. She wore it around her neck and she was too stunned to talk, because of the gorgeous necklace.
"This looks good." Xiu smiled
"Yeah." Hyunjin looks proud of himself
Xiu caught Hyunjin's gaze through the mirror which made her feel a little bit nervous and emotional for what will happen.
"You'll be fine. I am sure things will be fine. Just don't worry about it too much. Don't stress yourself. If things went wrong, call me. I'll pick you up, as well as your Mom." Hyunjin reminded her and smiled
She smiled and nodded.

She was sitting beside her Mom and can feel her hand shaking because of how nervous she is. She kept breathing heavily trying to act normal.
"Good evening, ladies." Mr. Lee greeted
And there, she trembled even more.
"Good evening." Ms. Yuan greeted back and kissed his cheeks
"You are- Xiu? What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be with Felix?" Mr. Lee asked as he was shock to see the young woman in front of him
"Ah, this is what I want to tell you. This young lady beside me is Hwang Xiuying, my daughter." Ms. Yuan introduced her daughter
Mr. Lee was too stunned to speak and was just staring at Xiu.
"I'm sorry for not telling you about my Mom. Just like you, I was shock to find out she will marry you, but her happiness matters the most. Also, Felix and I are not getting married anymore. I guess there is nothing to worry about." Xiu said
"Yes, but does he know?" Mr. Lee
"He still doesn't know. That's why I wanted to tell him now. I am so guilty for keeping it to him as a secret." Xiu
"He is on his way here." Mr. Lee said as he noticed the message from Felix
Mr. Lee was still shock of what he found out and he is so sure that Felix won't like what is happening. It will make the situation worse, if he find out that Xiu will be his step sister if ever.
After a few minutes, Felix arrived at the scene and went inside the restaurant. His eyes wandered around and his smile appeared as soon as he saw Xiu sitting with his Dad and a woman.
"Good evening." Felix greeted them, and kissed Xiu on his cheek "I kept calling you but you weren't answering. Anyway, you're here now."
Xiu smiled awkwardly.
"This is my son, Lee Felix." Mr. Lee introduced
Felix sat down and looked at Xiu "Why are you sitting beside her? You should sit here with me."
She didn't move.
"Xiu?" Felix called
"This is Tara Yuan, my fiance." Mr. Lee introduced the woman to Felix who is staring at Xiu trying to get her attention
"I am Hwang Xiuying, Tara Yuan's daughter." Xiu said as she stared into Felix's eyes
