Masaichi Xiu was wearing a blue suit with light blue shirt and black tie to match Midori's black low V-neck empire gown with laced back. She was studded with sapphire pieces of jewelry, revealed by her short asymmetric bob. They walked into the hall, mesmerizing everyone.
Their resemblance was actually obvious, but people tend to see them as a couple looking good together. Since the news regarding Agatha's death was suppressed, only a few would actually know that it was only Young Master Xiu who survived the accident. At this point, others thought that Young Master Xiu and his wife had just recovered and were making an appearance in public after doing so.
A middle-aged man approached them. "Young Master Xiu." He bowed in greeting.
"Director Si." Masaichi Xiu politely responded.
The man eyed Midori and nodded as if in approval. "I believe this beauty is Young Mistress Xiu." He smiled.
"Yes, she is." Before Midori could say anything, her brother immediately confirmed it.
"You are so lucky to have such a beautiful wife." The man continued.
Masaichi Xiu snickered. "She is indeed the Young Mistress of the household, but she is not my wife, but my sister." he corrected, slowly enunciating every word.
"Oh, pardon me Miss Xiu." The man became flustered.
"It's fine." Midori had a subtle smile.
Other gentlemen, some young masters of their own household, heard that they were not husband and wife. Because Masaichi Xiu confirmed that she is Young Mistress Xiu, they concluded that she is still single and up for grabs. Thus, they introduced themselves.
Most of them were CEOs or directors of prestigious companies, and everyone wanted to leave a good impression on this bachelorette. Midori replied politely, giving them face but not hope.
Just then, the lights were turned off. Then a spotlight revealed a couple at the entrance.
The host spoke from the podium. "Ladies and gentlemen, the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Verdan and Madeline Zhou!"
The chandeliers were lit and the couple walked on the red carpet and went up the stage.
Madeline Song wore a red satin off-shoulder ballgown. Her hair was styled in a half updo, adorned with crystals, her ears and neck with pieces of jewelry made of diamonds set in white gold. Her 10-centimeter platform heels elevated her height for her to reach his chin. Her arm was holding onto the arm of the great CEO Zhou.
Dan was wearing a black 3-piece suit with white shirt and black bowtie. His black oxfords were new. His dark locks were cut and styled to look sleek and clean. He had a subtle smile on his lips and a gentle expression on his eyes.
'Well rehearsed.' Midori thought.
People started to take their seats on their respective tables as the ceremony was about to start.
Masaichi eyed his sister who looked calm, too calm. There was not even a tinge of jealously. Did they not go out after meeting again? Did they break up before this? If they did because of this, then all the more that she should have a look of resentment, at least in her eyes.
Masaichi was bothered by it. The expression on Midori's face was way too abnormal for an ex.

During the ceremony, Dan kept secretly glancing at Midori's spot which he found after scanning the hall once he made it up the stage. He wanted to know if she had gone to the doctor to verify the unruly results.
In actuality, she had yet to do so since after that fateful morning, she was required to go back to the company immediately and had been too busy ever since. Not to mention that her brother's people are keeping close tabs on her.
.
Ah, yes. The result of the pregnancy test kit left them dumbfounded.
Back at their home, that morning, Midori repeated reading the instructions over and over again when she saw the line on the stick. She scratched her head as she was still unable to figure out what happened. She had followed the instructions carefully so there should not have been any mistake.
With mixed emotions, she went to show it to Dan, but he had that stupid excited expression that she did not know how to ask.
Since she was not speaking, he walked towards her and frowned at the test stick that she was holding.
For a positive result, there should be two lines appearing on the stick, one for the control, then the next one for the test. The areas were actually marked outside with C and T respectively.
The test stick that the couple were looking at showed a single dark line, on the test area.
