Guardian Angel [Yan Ximen]

・・・☆・Forty Six ・・・☆・

It had been a fortnight since the negative test had come back. After taking the initial test, Yingyue had taken another two that evening just in case. For the tiny sliver of hope remained deep rooted until that third test showed no signs of an alternate answer. Then to add salt to the wounds the next morning, her late monthly arrival, appeared. In the two weeks the couple had kept everything very quiet not wanting people to know that technically they were considered trying for a child. Though they had been unsuccessful, the pair had agreed that they wanted a child and were going to start trying. 

But two weeks later here they were, keeping this quiet from the rest of their friends and family as they geared up for another over the top event they had to attend. However, this one was an important one that they couldn't miss. Not that they would want to miss this one. This was the annual party of Si's birthday his mother threw and they knew if either of the pair was not to attend that the matriarch of Daoming family would not be impressed and would demand them to attend. It would just be easier for them to attend the event. 

Yingyue did always enjoy the party thrown for Si's birthday. Not because it was an overly fun event to attend or because she got to dress more formally than normal. No it was because irregardless of who was going to attend, there was always some sort of big event which occurred and would provide the entertainment for the evening. Normally there was some sort of fight, whether it was between one of the other couples in attendance or like a few years back when some of the very drunk men, considering it was an open bar, got into a quarrel in the middle of the room. This year would be no different, and she had her suspicions for what it was going to be like exactly. Shancai was invited this time around and Si was supposed to introduce the girl to his mother, the only problem would be that no person would be good enough for Si in his mother's eyes. And there was definitely going to be an argument when the woman realised that Shancai was not from a wealthy background or trained in the same manner the girls that Si normally spent time around were. Shancai did not have the princess styled training sessions when she was younger and this was going to be a problem to the couple. If they were a couple that was Yingyue really didn't know with those two any more. They were so back and forth with everything that was going on, she had not got a clue what stage their relationship was at. But she assumed that Si was still serious about the girl considering he was bringing her around his mother, which was a pretty big step in a relationship. 

She was adding the finishing touches to her makeup when Ximen re entered the room from the bathroom where he had been doing his own hair. Yingyue took a second to just reassess his attire thus far in the evening. He was not wearing his suit jacket yet, and his bow tie currently laid untied but he still looked ethereal. She was surprised to see he was wearing his glasses normally choosing to forgo them for events such as this. But she didn't mind he was one of the few person who looked just as good with glasses on than he did without them. 

"Need zipping up?" Ximen's voice broke the gaze she had on him and when she finally looked him in the eye again she was met with a very cocky look. He had once again caught her checking him out She only nodded her head in response moving to hold together the back of the dress so it was easier for him to zip. She watched as he quickly moved his way so he was stood behind her and took very little time to actually zip the dress up. His arms then moving to hug her from behind as his head appeared in the mirror in front of her balanced on her shoulder. 

Yingyue couldn't hold back the smile that graced her features at the matching attire the pair wore, the baby pink of her dress being the exact same shade as his shirt. Despite their outfits not being made of the same material it still worked well, her satin dress fell graciously down to the floor in ripples and somehow made her look taller than she actually was. Though that was mostly down to the matching heels she wore that must have added about four inches to her height.
