Around two o'clock Yuyu arrived in YaoFeng's house. She's no longer welcome as a wife so she cannot help but smile bitterly as she changes into slippers.
She prepared two extra clothes for the twins in case they needed changing; diapers, milk, water; wipes and all the baby emergency needs are placed in the compartment under the trolley.
"Have you chosen what to wear? Take a bath now and I will fix your hair so these little hands will not pull your hair." Yuyu ordered Tania while playing with the children's hands. Tania was touched because she cannot believe her mistress will attend to her hair.
Since the invitation was gray, Yuyu selected the silver and black combination of the children's clothes. She can just simply slip herself into anything black later. She's already sweating with the long sleeves she's wearing to hide her injury and hospital bracelet.

When she had prepared Tania and the things, she asked Tania to bring the other child to their room.
"Let's lock the door so they will not go out." Tania obeyed. She's happy with how the mistress fixed her hair into a tight bun.
"Tania, I have a secret to tell you. You cannot tell anyone." She looked at her straight in the eyes and Tania's clear eyes nodded back at her.
"I had an accident and I need you to help me take a bath. Be very very careful not to let a drop of water into my wound. Can you do that?" She asked first before making her do something crucial.
"Don't worry. I am a very good helper. Let's go and clean you up." Tania replied.
Luckily, they were able to finish her bath and Tania helped Yuyu dry her hair.
They let the children sleep.
Around four o'clock, someone came to pick Yuyu up and she told Tania to never leave the house if it wasn't her or YaoFeng who would pick up the children.
It would be too risking to have missing children later on.

Yuyu was sent to the elite PinUp Salon. The stylist Neo was specially reserved for her.
"Mrs. Ming, I see why I am exclusively not allowed to accept any other clients today." Neo greeted her and brought her to sit in a big comfortable chair.
"Oh? That's why! Normally, this place should be full at times like this!" Yuyu commented.
"Your husband doesn't want to share resources." Neo laughed as he removed her hair tie.
"Let's choose first your gown, so we can fix your hair accordingly." He led her to a rack where the dresses are meticulously hanged.
"These are your husband's choices." Neo pointed.
Yuyu looked at them and knitted her brows. Why are they all showing off her back? Doesn't she have an injury to hide?!
She smiled awkwardly and politely asked, "are there other options?"
Neo was not disappointed at her question. He wanted to show off more of his collections.
"We have more! Come over here," He led her to the room further.
Yuyu's eyes immediately scanned those that had sleeves. Although the weather is warm, she would prefer to cover her wound and hospital bracelet.
Thankfully, she was able to find a one sleeve black gown. It would perfectly cover her back injury and hospital bracelet as it exposes her other arm making her look simple but not dull.
"Let me try this!" She grabbed the gown and headed to the changing room.
Luckily, she decided to wear thin materials for her underwear. She should remind Tania later to bring her breast pumps in case the event takes longer.
The gown is both conservative and seductive. While it covers one arm and it falls up to her feet, it exposes her left shoulder and arms; there's also a very high slit at the side that will expose her leg when she walks.
She felt good and happily came out of the changing room.
"This is it. Let's make my make up simple. I only want to take pictures with my family." Yuyu headed to the chair and relaxed her feet.
"We can have your hair tied up, or do you want your locks down?" Neo asked.
"Just curl the ends, thank you." She replied.
"Can I not wear makeup?" Yuyu asked while Neo was working on her hair. He glanced at her in the mirror and bent his head left, and then right.
"If you are a guest, you can go without makeup. But since you will be with your husband, too much bright light will make you look pale in this black dress. Why don't you want to wear makeup?" Neo curiously inquired.
"Our children may not recognize me. And I cannot kiss them later on if I put on lipstick." She said casually.
Neo laughed at her reason. "Don't worry, I will make you recognizable and the lipstick I will give you is safe for children. Your husband was very specific in this aspect."
Yuyu almost raise an eyebrow with the stylist. Why does he speaks highly of her husband who hated her so much. Don't they know she's injured because of him? Course they don't-she just waited patiently with the process.
After almost an hour, she herself was amazed by her looks. She looked at the girl in the full length mirror with soft curls around her face. The purple tips of her black hair were curled into lazy locks and she never thought she could look any younger.
Her makeup was done very friendly to her eyes. It enhances her features as if saying 'i am Yuyu' when she looks at her in the mirror.
She realized that wearing lipstick really plays a role in magnifying a woman's beauty.
"Neo, how do I retouch this lipstick? I never used something like this before!" she was afraid she would have to touch up later on her own.
"Don't worry, it's long lasting. Choose your shoes and bag. I'll hand you the lipstick in case you need to retouch. But I assure you, you will not need to retouch it!" Neo said confidently.
She looked at the bags and chose the one she can attach to her wrist. She found a silver clutch pouch that can fit her phone and the dressing kit she requested a nurse to prepare for her. It seems like all is going favorably to her.
Yuyu fit herself in thin strapped sandals with just two inches heels to avoid her gown from being stepped on later. It matches her bag and dress and she beamed at herself in the mirror.
Even though I hate these kinds of dressing up, today, the best thing that could happen is to take a photo with the complete family.
Neo came and showed her how to work on the lipstick and placed it inside her pouch. Her phone rang and she excused herself to answer it.

Neo saw the big boss coming through the glass door.
He was about to tell Yuyu but the boss signaled not to disturb her as she talked on the phone.
Ming YaoFeng watched his wife admiringly. They already have two children and she still looks very lovely. His brows knitted at the long slit of her gown and his face dimmed more when her seductive neck and shoulders were exposed to the light.
Why didn't she liked the one's he selected earlier? Why did she prefer revealing clothes? His choices reveals only her back which he an cover with his hand or coat. But now, how can he hide her?

"I'm bringing you extra clothes to the event," Sandy told her.
"Why?" Yuyu asked.
"Aren't you coming? The children are coming! You should be there. Night and Gracie, Will and I are all coming! Just come to show face!" Sandy exclaimed.
Yuyu laughed. "I am. I am only asking why would I need extra clothes? Night and I attended and held events and I didn't even need to wear makeup before. This is already too much for me to handle!"
"It's a plan B in case of an accident or intentional accident. Tell me your color and preference so I can grab one and go." Sandy hushed her.
Yuyu got her point. "Find me black. No other color. And I don't like sleeveless or backless. Tell them to get me conservative black."
Yuyu heard William in the background as if the two of them were having a fight.
"Is it true? William is telling me something happened to you." Sandy asked.
Yuyu put his hand on her forehead. "Tell him I will stitch his mouth. Don't worry, my husband is looking after me all these time. I'll see you at the event, don't forget to take a good picture of my family."
Yuyu hung up and turned to Neo with an apologetic smile.
Her eyes got wider as she looked at the man wearing a black shirt and Silver Gray coat like the children's clothes. It was as if they agreed on the motif of the occasion.
She blinked three times before she looked down and took a deep breath. This is so awkward after what happened the last time he saw her.
Yuyu wet her lips with her tongue and coughed. She's not even sure if he heard her conversation with Sandy.
"I'll go first to pick up the children. We'll see you at the venue." Yuyu said, trying to suppress her nervousness.
He stepped forward and handed her a box. "Wear this."
