She was breathtaking . Shen Yi felt he was falling for her all over again as she walked beside him . Lu Xinyi's cheeks tinged red as she swallowed nervously . Her dress hugged her body perfectly, the silken and translucent material flowing behind her . The colors complimenting her pale skin with her hair that cascaded down her back and around her face in loose curls . Her delicate feet moved silently, the heel of her shoes clicking on the floor .

Shen Yi blinked a few times before he managed to pull himself together and greeted her earlier . He took deep breaths to steady himself before he walked with her, their feet stepping in unison towards the elevator .

When they stepped out of the hotel waiting for the car to pick them up, the gentle breeze of the summer night teased Lu Xinyi's hair . Her hand instantly reached up to brush a lock of hair behind her ear .

"Xinyi . "

She looked up from her reverie and saw her husband waiting for her beside the car . He held the door open for her while she slipped inside . The door shut gently once she was safely inside the car while the driver restarted the engine . Shen Yi sat beside her at the back seat .

"You don't have to be nervous . You'll be fine just stay beside me . " Shen Yi told her while his hand slid under hers, his thumb rubbing the back of her hand .

"It's just I haven't been in one before . Please don't leave me alone . "

'"I shall be the one saying that to you . " Shen Yi chuckled . "Wifey, please save your dear husband from gold digger women who will dare to approach me tonight . "

Shen Yi replaced his flute on the tray, knowing that he might break it on another man's face if he couldn't control his temper . He wouldn't like to see his face on tomorrow's headline . Mr . Mao, one of their business partners had been staring at Lu Xinyi . He grimaced at the thought that someone was lusting over his wife .

He felt his fingers twitched as he tried not to curl them into a fist and punch Mr . Mao's nose .

"Who's this beautiful woman? This is new . I never seen you bring a woman with you before . " Mr . Mao said .

Lu Xinyi felt her face flush on his words but leaned closer to her husband's frame and gripped his arm tighter . She wasn't comfortable and Shen Yi knew it . This was their first public appearance as a couple . His family might get news about it but Shen Yi was sure that it wasn't something he couldn't handle .

"This is Lu Xinyi . She is my date for tonight . " Shen Yi replied, his one hand tapping her hand that was holding his arm .

"Nice to meet you, Mr . Mao . "

Lu Xinyi didn't miss the way how Mr . Mao's date trying to get Shen Yi's attention with a feral grin . Shen Yi tried to look everywhere but her .

"Date? You're dating or she's just your date for tonight?" Mr . Mao sounded astonished . Did he also think Shen Yi was a gay? Lu Xinyi wondered .

"Yes, we're dating . " Shen Yi gave his wife a knowing look which Lu Xinyi returned with a slight nod .

Mr . Mao's date's face darkened when she heard that Shen Yi was dating Lu Xinyi . Meanwhile, Lu Xinyi tried her best not to roll her eyes and bit her tongue so she wouldn't embarrass her husband . Another woman to get rid off . Was this the real reason why Shen Yi dislike attending functions like this?

"Darling, would you like to dance?" Shen Yi asked . He couldn't take it anymore . He needed to take his wife away from this man or else he might commit a murder soon .

"Sure . " Lu Xinyi agreed, taking the hint from his annoyed voice .

Shen Yi turned to Mr . Mao .

"We have to go . We'll talk about your proposition soon, Mr . Mao . I'll let my father know about it . "

"Till we meet next time then . " Mr . Mao shook Shen Yi's hand then turned to Lu Xinyi giving her a wink .

Shen Yi glared at their retreating figures before guiding his wife towards the ballroom .

The music was slow and calming but Lu Xinyi struggled to follow Shen Yi's steps . She didn't know how to dance and again she stumbled and tripped on her own feet . Fortunately, Shen Yi's grip on her waist kept her from falling .

"Let me lead you . Follow my steps . " he murmured to her ear .

"Don't let me fall . " Lu Xinyi begged which earn a chuckle from her husband .

"I'll always here to catch you if that happens . " The hand on Lu Xinyi's back trailed up and down .

Lu Xinyi placed her head onto his chest and sighed . She listened to the heartbeat that resonates in his chest . His slow even breaths letting her know that he was calm now . She felt her eyelids close softly, enjoying the feeling that for once she actually belonged there . Something she hadn't felt for a long time .
