Chapter 167 - A Birthday Party

Yu Seok smiled at as he watched his wife agonize over clothing. The last time they had planned to visit Grandfather formally, she had dressed prettily in a cheongsam but now she was muttering about,"I have no clothes. Really? Your brother is useless. If the party had been planned earlier,what was he thinking coming to inform us today? How could he have forgotten!Would serve him right if I went there dressed in a business suit and complained to Elder Yoo!" She spied Yu Seok smiling as he heard her rant and turned her anger onto him."Yu Seok!How can you smile at a time like this! I don't have any clothes." This caused his to laugh as he teasingly uttered,"Sigh! How I wish you had no clothes!" A salacious wink was directed at her after this, causing Xie Eun to forget her anger and blush cutely!

But after a minute she walked over to him and plopped into his lap,"Hubby!I have no clothes." Holding her naturally, Yu Seok pointed at the entire wardrobe which had been taken over by her clothes while his had been pushed to one corner. Xie Eun pouted up at him,clearly frustrated with his inability to understand! Just then the bell rang and Yu Seok leaned back and said,"Go..There is someone there for you."

Intrigued that he could guess that whoever was at the door was here for her,Xie Eun opened the door and in walked a man, dressed in neon orange shirt with flower prints and a white pants. He looked her over once and nodded approvingly,"So you are the one who is going to be wearing my clothes tonight. Well at least you have good figure!" As Xie Eun stood there, with her mouth gaping, the man clapped and soon a bevy of assistants brought in big bags and even racks were carried in. Xie Eun stared in apprehension as she stared at the colorfully dressed man. She now understood why Yu Seok had been so laid back as she had continued to crib! While she had been whining,he had already found a solution for her.

But this man was dressed in such loud colors,she wondered if he would suit her taste. She obviously recognized the famous fashion designer Ming Ma but she had no idea about his designs. But since Yu Seok had chosen him,she could wait and see.

Once everything was set up, Ming Ma walked over to her and holding her hand brought her to the center. Once again he looked her over and then started to talk,"Now,Mrs Yu, I have brought a dozen dresses for you to choose from and they are all the best since they have been designed by me. But if you have any sense then you will wear the one I am going to show you." With that pretentious statement, Ming Ma turned back and slowly walked to the last piece that was being held high. He gestured the assistant forward and two others forward and slowly brought down the zip of the bag. Just like Ming Ma had said,"If she had any sense she would choose this dress'..because it was one that she fell in love with at first sight. It was traditional and modern. Perfect for her first venture into society as CEO Wolf's wife. Instead of a modern dress,it was a cheongsam made of lace. Seeing her stupefied look,Ming Ma proudly introduced it," Do you see this? This piece is made of the finest silk and the laces of the phoenix and the dragon are handmade. The buttons are carved from gold and will go with the innocent aura, you project. Would you like to try it on?". Xie Eun nodded eagerly and soon rushed into the room to try on the dress. The assistant helped her with the dress but it was only after wearing did she realize that why the dress was so modest. It was illusion. The front of the dress covered her from shoulder to the toes,like a traditional qipao but the back was missing! The daring backless qipao was held together with a two simple chains of what was probably diamonds.

How was this dress innocent? It was actually a..She had no words for it. She marched outside with the intention of confronting the designer and came face to face with Yu Seok. The man looked her over once and his eyes gleamed in approval. Snorting at him in a totally unladylike way,Xie Eun turned around and showed him her exposed back.. But instead of objecting to the dress, Yu Seok's eyes heated even more and his soft voice announced,"Well done Ming Ma. Leave the accessories matching this dress here and you can collect your contract from our company."

Ming Ma grinned at this and did not leave this opportunity to brown nose the CEO a bit,"Sir,Ming Ma is really lucky that such a beauty is going to wear this dress designed by me. And I will leave the accessories here but I have also brought something special. Here is a Suit for men. Though this shade is darker than Madam's, the pocket square and a few studs on the shoulders will make it a perfect couple worth outfit. It would be an honor if you would try it out.." 

Ming Ma waited expectantly to receive approval for his thoughtfulness but the CEO ignored him. But instead of being offended, he smiled and left the couple alone. The CEO was really an aggressive wolf..the way he was staring at his wife,Ming Ma was pretty sure that was the way wolves looked at their preys. It was better to leave a hungry wolf alone.

Xie Eun also sensed the danger and hunger emanating from her husband and moved back a few steps unconsciously even as her own body responded. His hands landing on her naked back, slowly glided up and down and he leaned close to her ear,whispering,"Tonight.."

It was both a promise and threat and Xie Eun realized that she looked forward to it very much. In a daze,she nodded her agreement and then realizing what she had done,ran back to the room. Soon afterwards an army of hair dresser and makeup artists arrived and then it was time to leave.

As they crossed the place where the attack last time had occurred, Xie Eun felt her heart race and she almost broke into a cold sweat. Understanding her apprehension, Yu Seok held her hand and slowly held her hand tightly. Soon they had crossed the area and reached their destination. Her first glimpse of the mansion had Xie Eun raising her eyebrows in fascination. It looked like an old palace with its tilted and slanting roofs and the lights that highlighted the old red and gold color. It was a testimony to Elder Yoo's pride in his history and roots and she felt even more exceptionally glad that she had chosen a traditional dress.

A long line of luxury vehicles entered the ornate gates one by one and Xie Eun suddenly realized the magnitude of the ball tonight. At the gates,she was welcomed by traditionally dressed women who guided the way into the hall. Xie Eun walked in hand in hand and behind the people and soon the big doors of the ball were opened. the old doors made a huge groaning sound and everyone's faces turned towards the door. The couple that walked in mesmerized everyone and many of the old men in the party immediately realized one thing..the reason why the Yoo villa was holding a celebration after so many years..The second master of the Yoo family had been found. Many old fogies were happy for the old man and many were disappointed that the old man was so lucky. But these people were even more disappointed when they realized that the second young master was not just a simpleton but also the feared and renowned CEO of Alpha Companies-Wolf. And still others recognized the woman on his arm as she had recently been in the financial news for her success in changing the fate of a falling empire. 

Just then Elder Yoo came forward and welcomed the couple in a booming voice,"My dear grandson and grand daughter in law are here! I have been blessed to celebrate your birthday with you after so long."

With that Elder Yoo clasped his hand's on Yu Seok's shoulders and wished him,"Happy birthday my grandson!Thank you for returning to this family and bringing this beauty along to the family,blessing me with a granddaughter!!"

Xie Eun was surprised and as she turned to see the face of her husband,she realized that he was equally stunned. It seems he had never known his own birthday...and today they were going to have his birthday. Elder Yoo failed to notice the couple's surprise but a woman, not far away from them noticed everything.
