Chapter 606

After a while, everyone headed to the next wedding reception . Everyone had congratulated and made a toast for the newly wed couple .

When it was Lexi’s turn to wish Rika Song and Jaime Liao their best wishes, everyone stared at her figure . Lexi stared at Rika Song’s blooming face and then shifted her gaze to Jaime Liao’s natural gentle visage .

“First of all, I want to congratulate the two of you for tying the knot . Bestie, Dr . Liao, congratulations!” After clearing her throat, Lexi stretched her lips from side to side . Obviously, the couple smiled back at her .

“Honestly, it is still a wonder to me how I became friends with Rika . ” When Lexi said her remark, she chuckled and the guest and the newly wed could as well . “My mother used to tell me I’m a miracle baby — as you know, I’m an only child . So, growing up, I often wanted to have a sister or a brother but sadly, things happened . ” Glancing at Frederick Yang and Lillian Yang, Lexi saw them smiled at her as they nodded .

“So, to fill the small void in my heart, I made tons of friends . However, no matter how many friends I had, the void was never filled . As time passed by, I came across different types of friends; friends that gave me different lessons to learn . . . until I met Rika . ” Lexi paused as she pursed her lips together . Meanwhile, Rika was already welling up as she listened to Lexi’s speech .

“Rika, one of the best person who taught me a lot about empowering women . Rika came in my life like a raging bull — you can’t dodge or avoid . All I had to do was to anticipate the hit, and I’m glad I did . . . “

“It was not like you have a choice!” From the crowd, Elliot Gong shouted, which made Lexi, and everyone shared a merry laugh .

“My hubby, why did we even invited him?” On the other hand, Rika Song who was emotionally crying by Lexi’s speech turned to her husband while sobbing .

Jaime Liao just gently smiled at her crying wife as he wiped her tears away . Well, he couldn’t rebut Elliot Gong as he had a point . After all, just like what Lexi said, Jaime Liao could not avoid or dodge Rika Song when she was shooting dangerous love arrows at him .

“Yes, Eli, but let’s not make it obvious alright?” Chuckling, Lexi humored back as the emotional atmosphere lightened by Elliot Gong’s remarks .

“What I was saying is, Rika, she’s the most amazing and the realest woman I have ever met . She’s a straightforward person, no sugar coating, but also has the biggest heart . Working in the same industry in the past, I had never met someone who was the same as what their image says . She’s like the phrase: what you see is what you get . . . that’s Rika . ” Lexi stared at Rika Song who was fanning herself as the tears on the corner of her eyes threatened to fall, again .

“Jaime, I know you already know this, but you got an amazing wife . She might be needy and moody at times, she might force you to watch barbie movies on some days with her, and she might get emotional over little things . . . but she’s still a wonderful person . Rika will love you, will give you everything even if it’s her world, without questions and doubt . She’s that kind of person so, please, love her unconditionally because that’s what my sister deserved . ” As Lexi said her piece, her eyes turned watery as she smiled at the two of them . Seeing Jaime Liao nodded in understanding matched with a smile, Lexi raised her glass for a toast .

“Cheers to the both of you . I wish nothing but the best in the world and let love conquer any obstacle in your marriage . ” Saying this piece, Lexi saw Rika and Jaime Liao raise their glasses for a toast .

After Lexi’s speech, Elliot Gong and other friends that haven’t toast with the couple then followed it . The event went on for quite some time before the bride must throw her bouquet to the female crowd behind her .

Rika Song danced with the music as she paraded her bouquet in her hand . As the host instructed everyone and counted down from three to one, Rika Song threw her bouquet to the girls behind her .

Turning to see who got it, Rika Song grinned from ear to ear upon seeing Andy Chang’s surprised front . On the other hand, Lexi giggled as she glanced at Nico Zhuang, who also glanced at her instinctively .

When Lexi and Nico Zhuang’s eyes met, Nico could only shake his head sideways as he had guessed what Lexi had in mind . Fortunately, Nico Zhuang wasn’t near Lexi or else she would tease her that very second .

“Stop teasing Nico . ” Meanwhile, Ethan Lu set Lexi a side glance . Seeing the playful grin plastered on his wife’s lips, Ethan Lu leaned closer as he whispered .

“I am not,” Lexi raised her brows as she shamelessly denied the obvious .

“Andy~! Omg~!!” Pleased that Andy Chang was the one who caught the bouquet, Rika Song clasped her hands together

Meanwhile, inside a private ward, Morris Liu perched on the chair with a book on his lap — legs crossed . If one set their eyes on him, they’d feel the aristocratic vibe that repelled any commoner .

With every slow flutter of his eyelashes, his eyes seemed to grow warmer than usual .

“Ahem!” Clearing her throat, Churu pursed her lips together as she watched Morris Liu for a while now . Ever since he arrived this morning, Morris Liu didn’t speak a word and just read that book he was reading .

“Are you not hungry? It’s past lunch . . . ” Churu made up a lame excuse to scoot the man away . What’s the purpose of his visit if he’ll just bore her, anyway?

Thinking of the time when Morris Liu was in the hospital, Churu was convinced her visits were always eventful . Right . . . she had nearly killed him during those times too .

“Is it?” Raising his gaze, Morris Liu slowly checked his wristwatch . Seeing that it was already past noon, he closed the book and slowly rose from his seat .

However, instead of taking strides outside, Morris Liu headed to Churu’s bed, which made her knit her brows . “Wh — what?” Vigilant, Churu moved to the edge of the bed as he came close .

When Morris Liu stopped on the side of the bed, he stared down at her pair of silver orbs . For some reason, Churu gulped down as she didn’t know why the intent stare .

As Churu was contemplating what he has in mind, Morris Liu used his forefinger and raised Churu’s chin up . Surprised, Churu was caught off guard when Morris Liu suddenly leaned down and pressed his lips against her .

The kiss wasn’t long, yet it was enough to electrify the still recovering Churu . She blinked her eyes numerous times as Morris Liu retracted his head away .

“I told you, you won’t get away from what you’ve done to me . ” Although his voice was still cold, it was laced with a bit of playfulness . Studying Churu’s mortified front, he smiled — pleased that he finally got his revenge for all the shocks he received when Churu barged in his room .
