A Marriage of Convenience (SaTzu)

Chapter 18

Tzuyu's POV

I knew my mistake as soon as we joined the progressing party in the garden of Myoui Manor. As soon as my wife and I stepped in the garden all eyes were fixed to the woman in my arms.

Who could blame them? I asked myself bitterly. Sana was a stunner in her ravishing red dress. It doesn't matter to these men that she's in my arms they couldn't keep their damn eyes off her.

My mouth twisted with distaste as I glanced at the woman in my arms. With her red evening gown these idiots also seemed drawn to her scarlet lips to make the matter even worse the way she styled her hair one couldn't help to wish to pull out the pins that held those gold locks and watch her hair fall cascading in her shoulder.

I sorely regret my decision awhile ago. I should have urged her to change her gown. This was all Momo's fault. She likes nothing about creating trouble for other people. I was sure as hell she's the one who advised my wife to wear this wicked dress.

There's no time to beat myself for the mistake. For now, I need to guard Sana from other men's malicious stare to her whatever the cost. Despite my reluctance I did my job to introduce her to the cream of Taiwanese society who were here to celebrate the birthday of Hyun Suk, when deep in my heart I don't want to do such thing.

After introducing her around, we bumped to the Myoui sisters with their friend. If I was not mistaken she's the wife of Mina's ex-fiancé, Kang Seulgi.

"Are you enjoying the party?" She asked pleasantly, taking a glass of water to the passing waiter. My eyes narrowed at her direction. It seems that her words had double meaning to it. Was her question directed to me or to my wife? "Sana," She said, performing an introduction. "I'd like you to meet Kang Irene and of course, you already met my sister Mina. Irene, this is Sana, Tzuyu's wife."

Kang Irene extended her hand in my wife's direction. "Please to meet you, Sana. And I hope you it's not late to congratulate you to your wedding."

My wife took the offered hand and shook it briefly. "Thank you." Sana looked at Mina and smiled slightly. I smiled at her as our eyes locked together. I could see that she's blissfully happy and I am glad for it. Chaeyoung was taking good care of her.

"Where is Jennie, by the way?" Mina asked, looking around the slightly crowded garden. "Are they not here yet?"

Irene rolled her eyes. "She already arrived with Lisa awhile ago. But an emergency at home needs her urgent attention."

"What happened?" Sana asked concernedly.

The woman smiled in reassuring way. "Their twins are throwing tantrums again. They refuse to sleep according to their nanny. That's why Jennie is singing lullaby to them via speaker phone probably. I think she's somewhere quiet as we speak."

They continued to make light conversation only women would understand. In the past this kind of conversation was my cue to leave but I would not let Sana wander in this party alone. I wouldn't gamble my luck that if a man tried to flirt with her I would not ruin my godfather's party.

My wife is mine. Mine alone. Period.

Only half-listening to their conversation while I still glanced around to see if there's still looking at my wife. I didn't want to become a jealous husband...but damn I could not help it since Sana paid no notice of them either she was used to the attention or she wasn't aware.
I only focused back my full attention to them when I heard Momo speaks. "Shoot! Dahyun is coming this way. I have to go, guys. See you later."

She nearly flee away when her wife stopped her from her track. "Where do you think you're going Momo?" Kim Dahyun asked pleasantly with a false smile in her face. "Don't you think this is kind of rude you're running away when you see your wife is approaching?"
